In other words, The Cowboys have to win ONE of the next two games if Phillips wants to keep his job. That’s a matter of fact.

Well, Wade Phillips just entered the world of flip flops. During today’s press conference, Phillips said that he believes the Dallas Cowboys can turn the season around after losing three out of the last four games.

He said he plans to make some personnel changes, but he was vague on what those changes might be. The team is not executing at any level, and he sounded like he wants to simplify the schemes so that the plays that are not working are tossed to the side for the plays that are working. Doesn’t this make the Cowboys even more predictable? How do you become more predictable than a team that has this usual scheme: 1st down: run; 2nd down-pass; 3rd down-pass?

He said the situation the Cowboys are in now is very serious. He said he may not change the lineup (how can he?) but some players may see more and less playing time. He didn’t name anyone. He should have. He mentioned how the run defense was awful, and his only solution was that maybe the Cowboys had too many plays that although they never used, players still practiced for them. In other words, the Dallas Cowboys don’t have good memory and may even be a bit stupid. Seriously, that’s how I took what he said to mean. Thirteen Pro Bowlers needs things simplified. Ugh. Phillips said he might get more involved in the defense. I don’t know why he just doesn’t can Brian Stewart.

Phillips said he does not think the team is undisciplined, despite what we see on television. He alluded to his season in Buffalo when the Bills lost their first three games. Phillips said he analyzed things, made changes and the Bills made the playoffs, only to lose in that historical game against the Oilers-Titans.

I guess we have no choice but to give Phillips this opportunity to make the changes he thinks will help turn this team around. And if he does turn this team around, let’s hope the end result is not similar to what happened to Buffalo.

There are so many holes, so many problems, so many bad coaching moves and drafting decisions that the Cowboys have that it may be a mountain to tall to climb for this year. It is truly a scary moment for this team, the coaches, and most certainly the fans who had such high hopes for this season.

Fear now. The season may not be over but it is quickly looking like it could be if Tony Romo does not play for the next two games. Albeit, the Cowboys are still 4-3, but they quickly can fall into last place in the division at the drop of a hat. 

So what can the Cowboys do to save this season? The offensive line is playing terribly. The defense cannot tackle. The secondary is like a pound of swiss cheese. Nothing seems to be working right. 

Is it coaching or is it the players? What the hell do you do?

Losing to the rams 34-14 is not acceptable. How did the Rams defense punish the Cowboys offensive line? They had interceptions, hard hits and great secondary play. We were 100 percent outplayed in every facet of the game. How does that happen?

It is no secret that I haven’t liked Wade Phillips from day one. I thought it was a poor selection for a coach and I had no idea why Jerry Jones did it. And then he goes ahead and gives offensive coordinator Jason Garrett pay that a head coach would love to have. That puts a burden on your coaching staff right away. And who the hell is Brian Stewart, the two-year defensive coordinator? Who is he? Why was he kept on this team? Why is he still coaching?

Phillips has already said he is unsure this team can turn it around. Jerry Jones for the first time in 10 years went into the locker room and gave the team a tongue lashing. Brian Stewart’s defense allowed the Rams to score almost as many touchdowns in one game as it has in the entire season of six games. Jones is right: this is unacceptable. 

This entire week I, Carden and James Massey will have to evaluate what this team must do to turn it around. If it means make a mid-season coaching change, something Jerry has never done, then so be it. But we will review every aspect of the Cowboys play, the team, the coaching staff and pinpoint what the flaws are and what the problems are. If the Cowboys need a damn scientist, then hire one! But this season cannot go down the tubes, because it will be an embarrassing colossal failure and a sore point in the spectacular Cowboys history.
