I know it's early but what the hell is going on? Turnovers? Weak Pass Defense? I saw Bulger had a 44 yd TD pass. We lose today and season is over

You nailed it. No pressure on Bulger. He's having all day to pass. Johnson threw a Pick and they scored a few drives later. Now Barber has fumbled and the Rams are in Dallas territory now. It's going to be 28-7 in a few minutes probably.

Well you know what ESPN will talk about all night and all day today. I see it's 21-7

yep and it could be worst. The Cowboys make too many mistakes to be a SB team. They better just forget about that and take it one game at a time. If they lose today they might not even get in the playoffs. Detroit might actually get a top 10 pick.

Usually the Wheels don't fall off until December, I'm surprised this is happening. but again when the Media CROWNS you as the SB champs early in the season, every team is going to come at you hard

I think they believed the hype which was stupid after what happened last December. I don't think the Cowboys will recover from a loss today. Their are no leaders on this team.

I felt that the win last win against the Redskins would have the Rams feeling confident today

The thing is the Rams were really lucky to beat the Redskins. Today the Rams are totally dominating the Cowboys. Except for the first Cowboy drive...it's been all Rams.

Yeah they beat the Skins without a Offensive TD and only won because of a fumble which was defintely luck

Sol, this has absoultely nothing to do with football, but your opinion is wanted on this thread here:

31-7 Rams now. Absolutely sickening. The Cowboys had a chance to score and had 2 offside penalties and then missed a FG. The Rams took over and scored immediately.

Sonny and Solomon, I have to tell you both this. I went to a bar to watch the games today. At first, I wanted to go to this bar I don't frequent because it is closer to my home. When I got there, there wasn't a sit in the house. It was filled with nothing but Steelers fans! I thought I was in Pittsburgh! There were also a few Cowboys fans there. Me and my nephew stood there for 5 minutes waiting to get seated. I ended up leaving because I wouldn't feel right with Steelers and Boys fans, and I was wearing my Clinton Portis jersey! I didn't even know we had a Steelers bar up here, where Bills, Giants, and Cowboys rule the bar!

:lol: That's the way I'd feel going to a bar around here. Sitting with a bunch of Eagle and Redskin fans. I've lucked out. I've seen every Cowboy game this year so far...not that I've enjoyed many of them. :lol:

Shocking
Definately one of the real lowpoints of Dallas Cowboys football. These players should absolutely be embarrassed. I can understand getting upset in a close game to an underdog but the Boys didn't even show up. Their's no excuse for what they did today.

Loss should be Wade Phillips' last with Dallas Cowboys

ST. LOUIS – It was right there in front of Jerry Jones' eyes. And he missed it.
There is no more shining example of how the radical move of an in-season head coaching change can work than the one being offered by the St. Louis Rams.
Dead in the water at 0-4, the Rams fired Scott Linehan during their bye week and promoted Jim Haslett.
Last week's two-point win over Washington seemed a bit of a fluke, predicated as it was on gathering in three Redskins fumbles.
There was nothing remotely lucky about the Rams' thorough 34-14 destruction of the Cowboys at the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday.
What has been gathering steam for a month reached something of a crescendo as the Cowboys played by far their worst game of the Wade Phillips era. And frankly it should be the last game of the Phillips era, but Jones made it clear afterward that there will be no coaching changes made.
"It really isn't about changes peoplewise as much as it is changes within the people, within the coaches and players," Jones said.


No, Jerry, it really is about changing the people. This team is 1-3 over the last four weeks, a win over winless Cincinnati the only highlight.
Paying Phillips to fade off into the sunset would not cure all of this team's problems by any means. For one thing, the presumed next head coach, Jason Garrett, has for now removed himself from the "hot coordinators" list with his work over the last four weeks.
Phillips' low-key demeanor and aw-shucks approach might have elevated a team that had been beaten down by four years under Bill Parcells. But all of that is gone now.
It's just a team of uninspired excuse makers who take their cue from the head coach.
To his credit, Phillips didn't offer any of his trademark excuses Sunday, but, really, he couldn't. This wasn't about a break or two here or there, a blocked punt, a game that got away.
The Cowboys scored the first seven points, then just sat back and took it for more than three quarters as the Rams scored the next 34 points.
"We've all had stinkers before, but we haven't had one here," Phillips said. "That's what bothers me."
Phillips continues to coach a team that takes dumb penalties, that apparently doesn't know an illegal shift from a legal one. Brad Johnson certainly didn't cover himself in glory with his three-interception day in place of Tony Romo, but Johnson had plenty of company on both sides of the ball if you are looking for fall guys.
Rams rookie Donnie Avery looked like he could get open deep any time he wanted to. Steven Jackson (maybe we can still blame this whole thing on Parcells for not drafting him and wanting Julius Jones) ran for 160 yards.
When the defense wasn't getting lit up, "Pro Bowl" tackle Flozell Adams was getting his helmet handed to him by, among others, backup end James Hall.
The Cowboys owner talked about the need to right this sinking ship before it's too late.
"I understand the fear of continuing down the slope and not playing well," Jones said. "This sobers me up more than any game we've had. This is not the same feeling I had with the other two losses."
For those defeats, you could make excuses, and, very willingly, the head coach did.
This time he couldn't. And he shouldn't be left in place to come up with more excuses as to why a team with so much talent is heading towards the bottom of the NFC East.
There is no way to truly deliver a message of urgency to a collection of players and a coaching staff without, figuratively, cutting off the head.

Replacing Phillips with Garrett installed as the interim head coach would send a message to not just the football world but the locker room. It would spell out clearly that not just the results but the effort or lack thereof that produced a 1-3 stretch is not going to be tolerated.
Jones has acted boldly, swiftly, impetuously in the past.
This might be all of the above. But, really, it's the only way out of the darkness.
You could see it on the Rams' sideline Sunday. Unfortunately, Jerry wasn't looking in that direction.
Expect the Cowboys to continue heading in the wrong one.

Yeah I've never been in favor of ESPN doing that...crowning a team before they ever do anything. Dallas is a good team, but they need Romo, compared to Brad Johnson & as Sonny and Sol said, they make way too many mistakes as a team. No team is perfect but turnovers/no turnovers win football games and keep you in games. Dallas needs to re-think and look over tape on this game and recover if they wanna do anything, playoffs and on.
