Okay! 99.5% of us blame Garrett!!

I mentioned before in another thread Jeff Cavanaugh and others complaining on twitter live during games about the offensive playcalling. Here's Jeff talking about research based on last year.
Basically the worst thing we did (in terms of getting yards) on first down was run the football. The best thing we did was play action. So obviously there were more runs than play action on first down.
This is the sort of thing that happens when you don't self scout/use analytics (or maybe they did and just chose to ignore that input).
edit: Pretty sure this is what he was referring to:
It's easier to blame Garrett. We can find a way to convince ourselves that there is going to be real change and the Cowboys now have a better chance for a Super Bowl. Far better than when Garrett was the Head Coach...... And when Wade Philips was the HC..... and when Parcells was here.... Campo..... Gailey.......

False. Did not quote your whole entire post. We get it, Jerry and his cronies are the biggest problem. But to let Jason slide and just chalk it up to Jerry? Screw that. Garrett was god awful and lost so many games because of blunders he caused. Chalk up games he lost us vs games he won us and it isn't even close. Sturm wrote an article and went through how many games he gave up just in his first 18 games and then 3 seasons total. It was ridiculous. He's god awful.
Garrett being terrible and Jerry being terrible are separate. Jason does not get to slide on how bad he was. The players did not respect him at all and saw him as a fraud.
lets score against wentz before we blame red lol
This was the story of how we rolled in the first 3 games, and then got rolled against NO and Minn. We had flipped our throw percentage on 1st downs in the first 3 games to 70% pass, I believe. Then against NO and later Minn., we'd just doggedly run Zeke up the middle on first down in series after series.
Having said that, while we screwed ourselves running, his "successful play" metric leaves a lot to be desired. Likely more important is how many times you screw yourself with a really bad down and distance. That's probably a lot less for run instead of pass.
What he should be looking at is the distribution of down and distance on 2nd down by play type on 1st down.
Does he think that the league has never looked at these numbers? When an entire league of professionals are doing the same thing, you shouldn't be that confident that you know the numbers better than they do.

Garrett lasted five years to long as the HC and seven years to long in the organization.
No worries. Though, to be fair loving him and recognizing that he was terribly unappreciated by most fans here aren’t the same things. Also, I said before the season started last year that he shouldn’t be extended if he couldn’t get a good team to the post season in a contract year, so I’m. It exactly lamenting him being gone. I’m just still defending against the stupid variety of irrational criticism he gets too much of.
I think the first 3 games JG let Moore do his thing and when the games got serious and against good teams JG made Moore change back to the Linehan - JG game calling.Given who this team had at head coach, nobody can assume that they were doing it the right way. Remember the last name of the guy in charge of pro scouting? Yeah....
