  1. I fear you may be overestimating Jerry's commitment to rationality. He wants to be a winner, but he wants to be the center of attention even more.
  2. Don't give the Eagles too much credit. They're not a good football team, either.
  3. Of course he will. He likes attention and he has to sell this mess.
  4. That's quite a scintillating race for the NFC East crown. Seems like it will come down to who gives less of a fuck.
  5. As noted above, probably some of the odds makers still have post-traumatic stress from watching Trubisky play,
  6. This is unfair to Jason. He actually has a variety of slightly different claps to deploy. Even now he is probably scripting his first 15 claps to get the Cowboys off to a good start. Rumor has it he's even developed a new and special clap for special teams. The Bears won't know what hit them.
  7. Eh, what the hell. As long as Dallas is laboring under the curse of Jerry, there will always be some dysfunction or another ruining things. It's just the way he is. Dak seems like a nice enough guy, so if he manages to grab a ton of Jerry's money, I guess I'll just try to be happy for him. You have to appreciate the smaller things in life when you're a Cowboy fan.
  8. This isn't really a threat. I'm a life long Cowboys fan, but this has been my baseline assessment of them looking forward for years now. Prove me wrong, Jerry. Please prove me wrong.
  9. He'd last less than a day. Man can't bake a cake for his life.
  10. No one can unbake a cake quite like Charlie.
  11. You are what your record says you are. Charlie just isn't a good head coach.
  12. So again, this shitty division is pretty much ours for the taking. As expected. The Eagles just haven't played well this year. I never believed they were for real, and I certainly won't believe Carson Wentz is for real until he actually starts coming through in the clutch.
  13. He's just running off all the bad guys. Wait til year 10 of the Strong era. They'll be a scintillating 7-6 again.
  14. IN my dreams the Cowboys are able to hire away Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma decides to replace him with Jason Garrett.
  15. Cosplay coach--that's a good line. But look on the bright side. Things could be worse--we could have Carson Wentz at quarterback.
  16. Big game looming against Buffalo. Haven't said that in a very long time.
  17. Brady questionable because of a right elbow injury? Could the Cowboys be that lucky?
  18. They make opposing running backs look good. I'll grant that's not an ability you'd like to see nurtured, but Rod is maxing it out.
  19. I, like most Texas fans, will be quite pleased to admit having been wrong about Shaka if he turns things around. But 4 games in is a little early to be popping the champagne corks.
  20. This is a silly thread. Herman is better than Charlie. Exactly how good he can really be remains a question. But how bad Charlie really is has been documented beyond any reasonable doubt.
  21. I understand your logic, but I don't have any more faith in the Eagles than most people have in the Cowboys. The Eagles so far look to have a few more significant flaws than we do. SO they can blow winnable games, too. I would agree, however, that the Lions are a must win. The Lions aren't that good even with Stafford. Lose that one and we're sure as hell not going 5-1 the rest of the way.
  22. I didn't call it a great accomplishment or something to "buy into" with enthusiasm. I called our division lousy and noted that even winning the division at this point isn't going to be the kind of season fans wanted. Just gaming out the schedule and noting that a playoff appearance is still possible. If so, a wildcard game win is probably the upside limit.
  23. Still, for all our complaints, winning this lousy division is still doable. If we draw the Lions without Stafford, that should be a win. Balance that with a loss to the Patriots and we're 6-5. We still have another game with the Deadskins, so call it 7-5. That leaves four games that decide our fate: Buffalo, @ Chicago, the Rams and @ Philly. Going 3-1 gets us to 10-6 and probably wins the division. Going 2-2 gets us to 9-7 and could still win the division. It's not how we wanted this to work, but a playoff game or two is still a possibility.
