Comments on: Dallas Cowboys’ Wade Phillips Contributes To Playoff Loss in Minnesota http://silverandblueblood.com/dallas-cowboys-wade-phillips-contributes-to-another-playoff-loss The Essential Dallas Cowboys Blog Mon, 21 May 2012 20:03:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: G-Daddy http://silverandblueblood.com/dallas-cowboys-wade-phillips-contributes-to-another-playoff-loss/comment-page-1#comment-207 G-Daddy Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:58:56 +0000 http://silverandblueblood.com/?p=649#comment-207 "The kicker should make that kick." -Which kicker? The one you picked up off the garbage heap late season? The one who choked away a win in New Orleans and missed two against your own team? That one? It isn't kicking a field goal from the 31 that I find so offensive; it is the mentality behind THAT particular play at THAT particular moment. I believe I said, reluctantly, in this article that at this point, keeping Wade another year may be the way to go. The window for firing him was wide open this time a year ago. Jerry would not do it then. I doubt he should do it now. May as well make a run at that home field Super Bowl. "Now, if this team digresses in anyway next year, then fire his ass." What if it just doesn't progress? What if it just saves the absolute worst game of the season for the last game of the season? You know, the way they have done each year the wonder boy has been here. What if they just waste one more year of your football life, teasing you, making you dare to believe they have a chance, a legitimate shot, when in reality, they are bound for meltdown when it matters most? And don't read me wrong. I don't give a fiddler's fart for Cowher and his football jaw. Let him keep boring the masses on the worst studio team ever assembled. "Wade, if anything, can motivate his players." Sorry, I am still wiping tears over here. Thanks for that one. It took me out of my bad mood and gave me a good laugh. They are motivated to keep him because everyone loves the teacher who lets you throw spitballs and pants each other. No one wants the hardass for a boss, when they can have the candy ass.

That being said, I don't think going for a field goal is worthy of being fired. The kicker should make that kick. A 48 yarder is not a gimme, but certainly should be attempted in most situations especially that early in the game. You can make an argument that Wade trusted his defense more by going for the FG than by going for the 4th down. Don't get me wrong, I would love for Bill Cowher or a proven playoff winner to come in here, but the bottom line is that this team wasn't as good as Minnesota where it counts in the playoffs, that being our OLine vs their DLine. But this team did improve as the season went and many questions were answered satisfactorily. 1. Romo is not the problem. 2. The Defense has a bright future. 3. Miles Austin is a true #1 4. Felix should be the primary back from here on out. 5. Jenkins is the best cover corner on this team. 6. Placekickers are important 7. We can win in December 8. We can win a playoff game. 9. And Wade, if anything, can motivate his players. Now, if this team digresses in anyway next year, then fire his ass.
