Wade, Wade Go Away

The facts are facts and the Dallas Cowboys have yet to disprove them. The facts of not winning anything with the same group of core players plus and minus possibly 2-3 over the last three years is evident. Once December rolls around, the Cowboys are proven losers. Why is that? The talent on their roster is far better than indicated, but they don’t win anything besides the November championship. I bet the Cowboys wish there was a trophy handed out at the end of November because their trophy case would be overflowing with glamorous hardware.


But, that’s not the case and how come? Well, have you ever seen the coaching tactics and mastery of one Wade Phillips? Well you probably haven’t because there are none. The guy really does not seem to have the answer for his players or the ability to guide a team to a championship. In his press conference today aired on ESPN, Phillips was presented with a very good question regarding his team’s abilities in December. The question was simply, “Wade, you said you have a team of winners, but how do you know that. I mean the core group of guys around here hasn’t won anything and you’re willing to call them winners.” Phillips replies with, “They’ve won eight games and lost four. I don’t think we have a team of losers. Winning in the regular season gets you to the post season, right?”

Wow, what a master of ceremonies! Yes you win in the regular season gets you to the post season blockhead. But how about when you get trounced by Philadelphia last year in a must win for a shot at the playoffs. Yep, you lost loser. Against Seattle and the Giants the two years prior in the first game of your playoff stint, you lost. Loser. So why is there any debate as to not think the Dallas Cowboys with their owner who cares more about building the equivalent to a small airport to play in anything different? Bottom line is, you need to go out and win games that are meaningful and get into the postseason and win one or two. Until then, you Mr. Phillips and your whole team from top to bottom can’t be considered anything else than losers.
Also, the way Phillips answered the questions in the press conference showed that he is indeed not fit to be a head coach in the NFL. He simply stumbles over his words, has no answers and a clue of how to deal with the issues at hand. The issues of not winning late in the season and making the playoffs.
