Yes!  This dude got arrested down the street from where I used to live.  He got drunk one night, broke into a house, and climbed into bed with some random woman.

You don't get compensation for cutting a player, Marcus.

He’s not that stupid is he?

It actually assures they get a 4th rounder at worst for losing Anthony Hitchens, somehow (per an interview I heard).    No clue if that’s accurate or not and I’m out and about and not about to do research

I fail to see what's wrong with this. I've woke up many times with a random woman I didn't really know...

[Vic Mackey 46,856]

I would like to see Kris Richard have a shot, keep continuity on defense, but with better leadership. Marinelli can be DC by name, though Richard would really be running it. Get a whole new offensive staff. Get a new GM.

Richard is in charge of the secondary, right? Well his secondary is not good. I'd like to see him do something about that before becoming a head coach. There was a reason Seattle cut bait. I don't think he's terrible but not sure if he's ready to be in charge. But then again, I'm sure people said that about McVay so who knows

If they get blown out against the eagles, and i think there's a better than 50/50 chance that it will happen, Garrett will be gone by the end of the day on Monday.

Dallas Pass D has given up the 3rd least amount of yards passing. 3rd least pass TDs given up.  He is bringing them along nicely IMO and by all accounts is already basically calling the D...I could see him being named the DC next year and Rod staying on as a DL coach as he winds down his career.

Nope. Jerry would never make that move during the season. He fired Wade mid-season because he thought Wade had lost the team and he had his hand-picked successor on staff already. Who would be interim? Linehan? Marinelli? Richard?

Although I agree and think Garrett is gone at the end of the year (I could see Linehan getting the axe and Jason calling plays ROS), if he did fire him, it'd probably be Richard.  Although it'd be sort of funny to see if Marinelli could pad that 10-38 record.  He's 1-23 in his last 1.5 seasons as a head guy.

I don't know, last week they looked like shit against a mediocre team. Sunday night the whole country is watching. A blowout loss would be really embarrassing for Jerrah, cause we know it's all about him.

I don't care about stats. I watch the games. And my eyes tell me this secondary is still not that good. They don't make any plays. Either they aren't playmakers or the coaching and scheme is the reason. We just allowed one of the worst offenses to school us the other night. Detroit and Seattle abused this secondary as well. The theme is, when they play mediocre or less passing teams, they can keep it in front of them and look respectable. Against guys like Bortles and Eli. Hell Watson and Hopkins abused this secondary. But they tripped over their dicks inside the redzone or that game might have been a blowout.

You say he's bringing them along nicely and I see no difference whatsoever from previous seasons.

I don't think Jerry would fire him during the season, unless they got blown out a few games in a row...which could happen. 

[DougO 5,238]

I have half a notion that Dallas will play great tomorrow night and even maybe beat the Fecals, just because it seems impossible. Not because they are a good team, but it's the NFL. But their backs are against the wall. It wouldn't shock me.

But 8-8 is looking like a miracle right about now.

I'm still not even sure Garrett is gone after this year. Remember who we're dealing with here. Jerry has been so bought in on gingerballs red jesus. If they are nowhere near .500 he's probably gone. If they go say 7-9, Jerry can still convince himself it was injuries, offensive line, transition period, that kind of bullshit, anything but himself and his own decisions. But Linehan is gone-zo, I'm fairly confident about at least that much.

Who's going to make plays? Their corners mainly play to keep things in front and not get beat deep so they aren't given the latitude to sit or jump on routes. The picks would have to come from the safeties and those are Jeff Heath and either Woods or Frazier. No ball hawks there. So it's a combo of scheme is very conservative and safeties are not talented enough to make plays on the ball consistently.

I don't see how they aren't 3-7 in two weeks after getting run by eagles and Atlanta on the road. They aren't winning 4 of the final 6.

Coaching changes wont help matters. Itll be the same, just a different head man. The star players will always take their gripes to Jerry, the chaos will never move back to Arkansas.

But yes, please a new coach. Cant wait to see who that'd be.

[DougO 5,238]

Just imagine if by some mystical black magic voodoo Dallas were to beat the Fecals today, they would be tied with them and hold a tie-breaker edge.

I still have a few hours to dream before the season is almost effectively over.

[DougO 5,238]

I think Dallas will have a chance and then come up short in a heartbreaker. It just seems like that kind of fateful knife-twisting would be on the Cowboys fan torture schedule.

[DougO 5,238]

Just look at the Titans today. One thing the Cowboys seem awesome at is reviving other teams' seasons and giving the renewed momentum

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

Good news: the D and O showed promise.

Bad news: The win last night gives us hope. They'll probably win a couple of more games and hopes will rise, Garrett will take credit, the Joens boys will take note and give him one more year. They may even be stupid enough to announce it during the season. Regardless, the boys will shit the bed two or three times by a hair's breadth, and will miss the playoffs.

Only this magnificent board will know that it was all Ginger's fault. Dammit.

That last drive where they didn't even give Zeke the ball once should have Garrett and Linehan fired.

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

Looking like an 8-8 season. Enough to get Garrett fired? Obviously Linehan is out. 

[Junior Miller 1,502]

Jason Garrett is Jason Voorhees. The fucker won't go the fuck away no matter how shitty things look. He always finds a way to survive.

Dallas gets a wild card and cruises through the playoffs to the SB like Oakland of 1980. Then they play Pittsburgh and it's the most watched live media event in world history.

If anyone can choreograph a drug fueled butt fucking it would be Bieber. Any chance he's been working with Jerruh all along?

That and when on 2nd and 8 they threw a deep ball and missed, 3rd and 8? Nope, missed FG. Some bonehead playcalling.

It was exhilarating at times, it was horrifying at times.  But ultimately, it was still a win over the hated Eagles, and that's ok with me.

Garrett is the cockroach of NFL coaches. Nothing can kill him off, he will survive us all...

FWIW, Bayless said this morning that Linehan was this close to being fired mid-week last week. Colin Herd said last night's win spells disaster for the 'Boys for the next 5-6 yrs - that it will lead to a big contract for Dak.

Typical overreaction from media blowhards. Dak will not be evaluated until the end of next season. We are not signing him to any deal before then if we decide.

All of the media told us how doom and gloom this game was. And no way we beat the Eagles, etc. So when we do, now it spells disaster. They need something to talk about. Their golden boy Wentz's team is now 4-5 and in 3rd place. A replay of his rookie year.
