It's about time somebody got mad around here. Win or not, if you stink, step right up and tell the truth, the whole truth, and, oh, yeah, admit just how damn lucky can you be when the put-away touchdown pass in the last two minutes on lowly Cincinnati was a H-O-R-S-E shot through the hands of Miles Austin into the lap of a surprised Patrick Crayton. "You stink," was Wade Phillips' postgame exit comment heard by a multitude of gathered media. A couple of minutes later, Wade's anger was also on display as he walked through the locker room using adult-type language. You want mad, Wade got mad at a media question. This question: "Does all that matter here is the win, when it was a game where you played well in the first quarter, and then pretty much stunk the rest of the way?" "I just got upset at 'stunk,'" a cooled-off Phillips explained later. "I didn't think we stunk. It's just that we don't make excuses for losses, and then [the media] wants us to make excuses when we win."

OMG. Wade can use adult language? CYA wouldn't want to BYA.

October 6, 2008  09:30 AM ET

not adult language, adult-type language.

Good GAWD, could this guy be ANY MORE CLUELESS!!! During his post game press conferences last year AFTER the play off loss, he kept going on and on about how the team finished 13-3. It's like he thought that mattered or something at that point! He hung his hat on that and still does to this day

F the Media anyways,

Exactly. He kept on going on how the team was in the "Elite Eight". That looks real good on a banner; and a resume'. Better start refreshing yours Wade.

You always have to wonder whether or not he's actually that daft or if he's just playing dumb so people will underestimate him.

I guess "stink" is another word to the list we have to add not to say around Phillips. He still doesn't like anyone to say "Fix it". It must be real tough bringing in contractors and plumbers to his house.

:*-(

That one's for you, Wade.

Everyone in big "D" must face the truth, including Phillips, he and the entire Dallas organization are still reaping the rewards of a team that Parcells built. Wade Phillips is no big deal as a coach, he's riding Parcells coat tail. In time, sooner that later when Phillips converts this team to his traits and less of Parcells, this team will begin to struggle more and more. Garrett will coach this team next year and save Dallas from further demise.

Hmmmm, seemed like making excuses was the name of the game after your postseason loss to the Giants last year Wade.

Itll get worse before it gets better.


Better then Parcells IMO..so it dont matter until it happens...

Umm...2 years?

Sorry, but there is something 'a brewing' at Valley Ranch....There is absoloutley something to Jerry's being on those sidelines yesterday. Don't dismiss that as just Jerry pumping up his team. He seems to only head to down to the field when they were loosing. Granted that game got close, but why is he playing head cheerleader when he is paying Coaches tons and tons of $$ and that is their job....Jason's taking over very soon, I can feel it

I predict that if the Cowboys have a few more bad/so so /close games, that Jerry Jones will replace the HC with Garrett this year mid season and do more of his sideline patafanny business and take credit for it all if they win it all in the end.
He is setting the HC up in a way and making him look like he needs his help.....

That is so true. Jerry is a very smart man and knows exactly what he is doing. I am so sick and tired of Wade taking all of the responsibility for every players mistakes and penalities. He sounds more and more like an idiot in his press conferences when he says that everything is "his fault". And I guarantee you that today he will sit up there and take the blame for Geraurd jumping on the pile after the play was over costing a personal foul and 15 yards...Was Wade suited up and on the field? Did he push Geraurd causing him to fall on top of everyone? Are you kidding me? Wade is becoming a joke down here. There is NO fire in this team and it starts with him. He sucks the life out of me.
