Default The built in excuse
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.

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

Parts of the fan base are already putting forward the injury excuse themselves as witnessed the last week on this forum.

If only Jerry would come around to seeing Jerry isn't the answer.

The Cowboys were losing before the injuries. That was a healthy well rested team that got their butts handed to them in week 2 at Seattle.

I think so.

No Lee, no Carter, no Ratliff most of the time, no Church, so I do think Injuries have hurt us. Not every team is going to overcome them.

The offense I don't think should be playing as bad though. Sure the Murray injury hurt but we still should be running the ball better.

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.

It's only an excuse if you believe it.

Fact is that this team wasn't playing well before the rash of injuries.

If they had a winning record undermined by the injury bug? Possibly.

But that is most definitely not what happened.

Even if we are, what are we supposed to do about it?

The best we can do is hope that regardless if he stays or not, we get a new offensive coordinator, who has complete control, or we are doomed once again.

We know this but I'm affraid Jerry is just as delusional as many of the Garrett supporters and will look for anything to cling onto at this point.


For the record id have been ok with giving him 1 more year had I not seen his offensive coordinator skills prior to being our head coach.

What does fear have to do with anything?

JG will keep his job because he is in the middle of a re-tooling process. Most of us with any reason predicted that the Cowboys were, at best, a 10-6 team. Others, calculating injuries and strength of schedule, predicted a more achievable 9-7.

Anyone who thought that this team was going to be significantly better was not being realistic. This team has the superstars but it lacks a solid foundation of core players. I think JG is moving, albeit slowly, in that direction.

Jerry would be the biggest fool in Texas if he dumps JG at the end of the season. It would be yet another example of his knee-jerk management which has been killing the Cowboys for the last 15 years.
Garrett to players: Make today a great day; go about the business of winning! If you can't keep up then don't step up.

Who gets to pick this coordinator?

I don't want anyone that is just Going to run Jasons system and not make adjustments to the roster that we have.

True.

That will be another problem, Jason may have to go. He won't change his ways
