The built in excuse

[CATCH17]

Anyone else scared that Jason may get his job saved because of all the injuries we have recently have?

Last year it was the no offseason excuse and now I think this year he'll get the injuries excuse.


I really hope Jerry isn't sitting back and just waiting to drop this excuse on our fan base.

Probably the offensive line excuse.

They just appeared from no where, with no one on the coaching staff having any sort of responsibility for selecting this **** show or thinking this **** show could play.

The oline is bad but Jason doesn't do much to coach around it so I don't give him the benefit of the doubt there.

How do you adjust for a bad offensive line? Punt every down?

Don't have one in the first place. Jason was supposed to approve every signing (I believe), so he is culpable for the O line mess as well. If indeed he had no say, then get a coach that will be powerful enough to influence personnel decisions. No doubt that the mess in the trenches trumps everything else though.

If you can do that you`d likely be employed by an NFL team.

So lets start counting the excuses for Red Ball being a sub 500 coach.


1. Its the injuries, the team would be balling without them.

2. Jerry makes him call the plays, he really doesnt want to.

3. Jerry made all the personnel decisions, especially the o-line.

4. Garrett had no say in draft picks or free agency, he just observed.

5. (MY FAVORITE) Tom Landry sucked too starting out as head coach.

In fairness, it's possible (probable?) that the decision to pretty much ignore the OL in favor of "fixing the D" came from Jerry.

There is no doubt that Garrett had a hand in this mess. Him and Jerry should share the blame and add Callahan to the mix as well. I think this is a group effort. The three of them actually thought this mess would work. That gamble ruined the season.

I don't doubt that Garrett/Callahan/Ryan all had some input in setting the team's offseason priorities, but come on...

This team isn't run as a triumvirate of equals. At the end of the day Jerry is going to do what Jerry wants to do, the advice or opinions of others be damned. It's been that way for 16 years now; to pretend otherwise is naive at best.

Its not just this year, its the pattern in Dallas. Before the OL, it was thinking Alan Ball could be a starting NFL FS along with Street FA Frank Walker as your CB depth. But the team had three kickers and a "weapon" on ST's that year from the 2009 ST draft!

Your actually going to bring up the David Buehler project in order to indict this organization? Low blow, dude.

Jerry seems to be coming around to the view Garrett is not the answer.
