<![CDATA[Absolutely Effing Furious]]>Now I'll start by saying I'm not going to call for Jackson ad his staff to get fired after just one year. Assuming *some* progress next year, I won't call for them to be fired in 2018 either. But...

What, the actual fuck, was that?! We're up at half time, in a close game where we've held our opponents to a couple of field goals, generated a turnover (that getting spotted at the 1 is fucking Retarded, btw, hey great play, here's your reward, you're fucked), and we're looking for "a spark"?! Are you fucking kidding me?!! Way to break your young QB's confidence coach. "Hey Cody, I know you're being pretty accurate, making decent decisions, protecting the ball, scored a touchdown and all that, but I need a spark. So, I'm turning to the 53-year-old perennial loser because everyone keeps saying he has a big arm."

Well, that turned out well. McCown has shown already this season that while he's not afraid to go big down field, he really, really shouldn't because he's inaccurate. And guess what? His drives today:

INT

Three and out with a fumble

INT

Strip sack

Three-and-out.

How's that for your spark? Because it sure as fuck sparked the ravens in to life! What are we hoping to achieve here? The team was actually playing *OK* against the ravens, in Baltimore, slightly outmatched but keeping pace. Then we decide to hand the game and the ball on a silver platter, shatter the confidence in the rookie QB, disillusion the rest of the team, and generally fuck things up royally.

If we're tanking - bad strategy but sure - then just let the kid play. We're probably going to lose anyway, we're not a very good football team (spoiler alert).

And that's before we get in to the timeout before the first fucking play of the entire game. Seriously. How long do you have to prepare for that play? I know, it's a short week, we only had 4 days to figure out which 11 players should be on the field, it's tough. It's really hard for guys to count to 11, I know this because by and large football players are fucking stupid.

Before you get Josh McCown just standing watching his strip sack like "hey, something's not right there, I'm pretty sure the ball should be going through the air now, the defender isn't supposed to get the ball here, it should be 40 yards downfield"

As I said, I'm keeping coach for at least two seasons, probably three. But fuck, he doesn't make it easy to be confident in that decision.

Thanks Mike. Likely won't be next season. We have a big trip planned for two weeks driving around Spain in Oct. with her sister (and husband) plus my older brother (and wife). Doubt my money manager will release the funds for a football game in Ohio. She keeps all the books so I can't complain. However possibly that 2019 season when the project is completed. Keep me posted on when you return to San Antonio.

Since Pro Football Focus says we have two top ten tackles we should definitely sign Romo.

Put him behind a good line for a change.

Starter? Yes, very likely... but not all our 2017 QB's are on the current roster.

And don't worry, Z. It's in the stars... and rightfully so. We have to know beyond a reasonable doubt.

I think we dip into the draft again, keep bringing along Kessler and RG3 may get another audition.

Don't kill the messenger on that last part.

Whole lotta junk on that list. Cousins is going nowhere, and should the Cowboys decide to shop Romo, he doesn't fit our build for the future plans.

Yes he's beyond wealthy, and yes his wife is super hot (hehehe), but the guy is a competitor and he has to sit and watch the best team he's been a part of on the sideline. Dak was thrust into the perfect situation, and boy did he respond. Better than just about anyone could have predicted, too. I have literally been in awe of what he has accomplished, and as much as I don't like the Cowboys as a team, I have to say they are a real joy to watch.

Romo will get his chance to play again, and I hope it works out for him. He'll go to a team like the Broncos or the Jets, and he'll probably play well for them. Hopefully he avoids further injury and he gets to compete for a few more years.

Obviously a high paid, injury-riddled, old QB doesn't fit into our "analytics" approach, but I'd take Tony Romo on my team any day of the week.

That reminds me...who are the projected free agent QB's again for 2017? One of you guys posted a cool link that gave this information...I'll have to go find it. Cutler and Romo aren't set to be free agents, but both could be on the market or traded before the beginning of next season. I think it's safe to say that the Bears will probably move on, and Dallas can't keep a $15 million backup QB, can they?

He should be elected King of the glassmen, electoral vote style.
