The "Idiot Owner" tour for Jerry Jones continues.

I don't like Ryan anymore than the next guy, but the Dallas D wasn't this issue this season. They has a couple injuries along the way, but their pass D was 14 and the run D was 11.

A slightly above average defense with a team 8-8 record. Now, they did have the #3 passing offense, but their rush offense was 31.

Seems to me the D was pretty consistent against the run and pass, but the offense can't run the ball.... so they fire the DC.

Since both team's owners apparently have few answers when it comes to winning, but are good at firing people, maybe our Jerry can fire their Jerry and their Jerry can fire our Jerry, then both franchises can start down the road to recovery from meddlesome owners that do more harm than good.

With the talent they have on the defensive side of the ball and the expensive additions they made to the secondary, the Cowboys defense majorly underachieved this year.

Rob Ryan is just like his brother Rex.....marginal coaches who get by because of their last name.

Agreed, but look at their #3 passing offense and tell me that isn't underachieving as well. When you have zero running game and everybody and their brother knows you're going to pass, and you're still extremely successful doing it... and win 8 games.

I think their D played better than their completely unbalanced, pass-only offense.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
