Sisyphean Bills Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 When we got rid of Wade I was glad, as I thought his decision to start Johnson in the Titans game was insane. (I'm not trying to start up that old controversy by the way). My point is, in retrospect, Wade was the best coach we had post Levy. At least we had one of the top ranked D's back then. So, maybe he deserves another shot. At least you know what you're getting. You can't be serious. Why would Wade come back to Buffalo to work for a guy that he had a legal tussle with over his contract?
Georgia Bill Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 You can't be serious. Why would Wade come back to Buffalo to work for a guy that he had a legal tussle with over his contract? I wasn't saying it was likely, just that I wouldn't mind having Wade back. Maybe Ralph can just say gosh I'm sorry, I was out of my mind for letting you go

Doc Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 So I guess the problems weren't all because of TO. Imagine that.
vincec Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The Cowboys were totally out matched by the talent of the Vikings on both sides of the ball, especially defense. If Jones fires Wade he is a bigger *** than he already was. I don't agree with this. The Cowboys have as much talent as anyone in the league and have for a few years now. They were out coached in this game and losing Adams didn't help matters. I don't say that this is all Phillips fault, but his team didn't make the adjustments and laid an egg in this game. That has got to reflect somewhat on the coach.

vincec Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 unbelievable their offense sucked when they did not have a LT what a shocker!! Dallas was the healthiest team in the NFL... no one on IR. So it's pretty tough to blame injuries for a poor performance. Minnesota was playing with a rookie MLB starting his 4th game. They didn't use that as an excuse.
Malazan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Cowher to Dallas has never been a possibility beyond the active imaginations of reporters who no longer actually do their jobs, but make message board posts they call articles.
Conch Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I have always thought of Norv Turner and Wade Phillips as sad sacks. I just hate watching them lose as they seem to suffer on the sidelines. Dick J was not much different. All decent guys, all very capable OCs or DCs but not really head coaching material. You want your coach to be the leader before, during and after the game is over, win or lose, and be a presence. They have no presence. The few good coaches we have had ... Marv, Chuck Knox, & Lou Saban all had some charisma.

Doc Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 this is hard to understand, I know when Flozell Adams was in the game, he controlled Jared Allen after he got hurt, the pass rush went wild coincidence - I think not LDE Edwards was the one consistently killing the Cowboys.

That has got to reflect somewhat on the coach. The adjustments you speak of were not made by Opie Garrett. Garrett is a master at coming up with a game plan during the week but he absolutely craps the bed when a wrench is thrown into his plan. Case in point, this week his o-line was getting destroyed and how many screens and draw plays did he run to offset the pressure? I remember one attempted screen where the backup LT was illegally downfield. How many times did he call mass protect and send a WR on a deep route to stretch the field? 0. I live in the heart of Cowboyland and the fans are upset with Opie and not Wade. And I have to agree. The one thing that can be put on the defense is their inability to turn the ball over, get a ball hawking safety and that's a championship defense.
