Time to move on.


This team is falling apart at the seams. There are so many things wrong with this team, I don't even know where to start. I do know that the guy that bought the groceries and cooked the meal, has to take the blame when the customer starts vomiting at the table from food poisoning.

I've been saying week after week that the coaching staff is not putting these players in position to succeed... and that is becoming more evident these last few games. The failure to deviate from a tired philosophy on defense has run it's course here in Dallas. It's time to move on because Bill Parcells will not change. He has had plenty of time to put his stamp on this team... I believe there are just a handful of players on this team that have not been hand-picked by him. The result is an underachieving team that has worsened as the season has gone on. Even though they have a winning record, they have been exposed repeatedly during the season and teams now have a blue-print on how to beat the Cowboys. These are his guys. This is his philosophy. He must be held accountable for the results.

Yes, we have secured a playoff spot, but does anyone believe that this team is anywhere close to being a true contender? I am glad to hear that Jerry Jones said after the game that he is as disgusted as he has been in 17 years with this team. I have to say this is the most frustrating Cowboy team that I have watched as well. In past years, the expectations weren't there, but they have and should be now. He said that it starts at the very top. I am hoping that he sees what his micro-managing head coach is doing to this team. I'm hoping that he sees that a change is needed.

I was elated when the Cowboys first lured Parcells to Dallas. Finally, a football guy with skins on the wall that can transform this team into a contender. And while he has added some high-end talent to this team, his shortcomings as a modern day head coach have turned this into a wash. For every 2 steps forward with him, we always seem to take 2 steps back because of him. It's time for a new regime here in Dallas and we need someone to lead this team who has the future in mind... a youthful luminary that isn't contemplating retirement from year to year. We need a change.
