Dallas Cowboys: 2011 Post Mortem

Hello,

Earlier in the season when the Cowboys won and moved to 7-4, I wrote a blog asking if their record was mostly smoke and mirrors? After yet another collapse, it seems the answer was yes. The Cowboys went 1-4 after that victory.

I'm just incensed the Cowboys do this every season lately. Jerry says he's "extremely disappointed" by the result of yesterday's game. He also said he "unequivocally" is behind Jason Garrett. (Someone got Jerry a dictionary for Christmas.) These are the kind of things he was saying about Wade Phillips as he kept on finding excuses not to fire him. But truly the Cowboys biggest problem remains Jerry Jones.

The Dallas Cowboys top 5 needs in the offseason:
1) Jerry Jones need to disappear. No more press conferences, no more going down on the field during the games and no more self promotion. Over the last couple of years I've realized the more well known an NFL's team owner is, the worse the team is. And the more obscure the owner is, the better the team is. For instance, I know who basically who the owners of the Patriots and Steelers are, but we rarely hear from them. Maybe they are working to make their teams better rather than being in front of the cameras all the time?
2) The Dallas Cowboys desperately need to get a real General Manager. Jones once again proves he has no idea what he's doing as a GM. I've learned in life the last person we should ever lie to is ourselves. However Jones keeps on lying to himself that he knows what he's doing as a GM.
3) Dallas, sooner rather than later, needs to find their next great quarterback. Tony Romo isn't that person, although you can't blame last night's choke on him. Although how does such a supposedly mobile quarterback get sacked 6 times? I didn't want to waste my time by watching the losers choke again so thankfully I didn't watch the game.
4) Get some players! The Cowboys have a reputation about how much talent they have on this team. Really, then why does this team suck so much? The Cowboys should be cutting Terrance Newman right now. Use the 14th pick in the draft to get a cornerback and then get a couple of more cornerbacks in free agency. Terrance "Burnt Toast" Newman is scheduled to receive about $8 million next year. Cutting him will open up a lot of money to resolve Dallas' biggest need.
5) Do whatever they can to help make Garrett and Ryan more successful. If the Cowboys aren't better after next season, both need to go. But with Jerry Jones as GM I'll be writing these type of blogs about this time every year.

It does crack me up that with all the hype that comes with Rob and Rex Ryan neither one of them will be in the playoffs.

Although the Cowboys collapsed as I predicted yesterday, some good things happened yesterday. San Francisco won to finish 14-2 and clinch the #2 seed in the NFC. I look forward to their first playoff game in two weeks.

The Colts lost and clinched the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. If they draft anyone else besides Andrew Luck they are crazy. For those idiots that say that Peyton Manning and Luck on the same team will never work, I say well make it work! If Manning can come back near 100% then it could be a two to three year transition to Luck. But if Manning can't ever reach his peak ever again, then you have a great teacher for Luck.

But my favorite thing that happened yesterday was the complete collapse and choke of the Denver Broncos. The Tim Tebow Train completely derailed as the Broncos lost 7-3. How bad is the AFC West when the Broncos lost their last 3 games of the season and still won that division? I enjoyed watching the first half of the Broncos complete and spectacular failure.

Just remember that Tim Tebow is a professional quarterback. His numbers were so bad yesterday that they are laughable. The Timster completed 6 of 22 passes, barely 25%. Even more laughable those 6 passes are 3 times more passes than he completed against the Chiefs earlier in the season. Tebow also threw for only 60 yards. 60 yards? By a NFL quarterback? Maybe he shouldn't be a NFL quarterback? Tebow also had that fumble near the end of the first half and later threw a pick. His quarterback rating was 20.6, by comparison an average rating is about 80. People will say but his strength is being able to mix it up by running. He also rushed the ball for 6 times for 16 yards. Yes I do realize that when he was sacked those yards count in his running stats.

Next weekend the 8-8 Broncos host the 12-4 Steelers, who have even a better defense than Kansas City. That could be one of the ugliest playoff games ever. Pittsburgh will win easily ending the Broncos season with 4 straight losses and 4 straight ugly performances by Tebow. Denver then can you please not play Tebow ever again? It's bad enough hearing way too much about a player when he's good, but when he sucks as much as Tim Tebow.......
