So what is the problem? 5 reasons.
1. Jerry Jones. I think Jerry Jones is a great business man. The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in ALL OF SPORTS, by a wide margin. He sees the value of him having a face lift :) , since he's the face of the franchise (which is also a problem). But I think the fact is he is too involved in player and personnel decisions. He fails to see big picture. He thinks $$$$$ = 'Win Now'. No matter how much money you throw at it, there are certain elements that makes a team work. The Cowboys are definitely missing those elements. They need a football man WITH BALLS to come in and make decisions, without his help.
2. Wade Phillips. I'm sorry Cowboy fans, he is part of the problem. When I look on the sidelines at almost every game, besides looking like he has indigestion, he looks bewildered and confused! Why is that?Could it be, because he IS bewildered and confused? Without knowing what the deal is with his facial expressions, I can tell you he does not have the personnel or personality to maximize the talent he has on that team. Is his job in jeapordy? Yes! Duh!
3. Offensive Line. For the last couple of years, they seem to be completely out of sorts! From penalties to obvious missed assignments! Although there was a little improvement Sunday (Romo was sacked much less), this is still a big problem area. There are too many weapons on offense to have the OLine negate things with dumb-ness.
4. Tony Romo. Tony is probably one of the upper echelon Quarterbacks in the NFL. But something is missing. I don't doubt he has the ability to step up in big games. Last night could have easily have been a win (if it wasnt for reason #4). But still, there is something different about having Tony Romo in when the game is on the line. I'd take Vince Young over Romo. All he does is win.....And fight at strip clubs. LOL!5. Media. Maybe the fact is, they simply ain't as good as the hype. I mean how many times do we have to hear from the talking heads that the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl until we believe its all smoke and mirrors? Yes, they are Americas Team. Yes, they have the Starship Enterprise for a football stadium. Yes, their uniforms are really cute. Yes, they have celebrities at training camp. Yes, they are on Keep Up with the Kardashians. AND??????
OVERRATED. THE. END.
