The Cowboys lost again.Their December woes continue. This begs me to ask the question: Is it really the coaches' fault or can it actually be another reason: the players?

The Boys brought in one of the best head coaches in the history of the NFL in Bill Parcells. He didn't take them anywhere. Then they brought in Wade Phillips. He hasn't done anything either. The common denominator in it all: the players.

They lack a quality that every great team has. I don't know what to pinpoint on, though. They take a lot of plays off. They play with no heart, but most of all, this is a team with little confidence or swagger, no unity, and monstrous egos that don't match results.

T.O. leaving was supposed to be addition by subtraction but it now turns out that that is false. They traded for Roy Williams to be their number one receiver but he isn't, yet he brings the same baggage T.O. brought to Dallas.

The whole is the sum of its parts. The players aren't winners. They quit in tight games. Tony Romo can't hit a wide open receiver. Roy Williams, Jason Witten, and the running backs drop easy passes. The defense collapses.

Tonight was just another night in Dallas' futility. It's gotten to the point where our joie de vivre is revelling in their losses instead of hating them when they win (which they don't do much of now). While Wade Phillips will not be back next year, most of the players shouldn't be back either.
