Meh, I know how this is going to be spun -- that look, Garrett is a tough guy behind the scenes and not the robot we think.

But we've seen this before. In the 2008 Hard Knocks, Garrett stood up in front of the offense after a game and dropped a bunch of F bombs about how last year we gave up on the run but this year F that, we're going to run it no matter how many they put in the box, etc.

Then we finished that year 25th in the league in rushing attempts.

He's all talk and presentation as always.

Most definitely.

But as mediocre seasons continue to mount, the Garrett fans simply cant ignore the results anymore and will have to shift their arguments, which is why I think you are going to see more and more discussion like this one - the team just has too many soft players that have no heart or desire to win.

You can't blame Garrett for how players are wired, ergo, you can't pin the mediocre results on him. It's just not fair.

Just out of curiosity, who is the producer of these videos? Is it the Cowboys themselves in conjunction with Amazon?

I don't know, but one thing I do know is the team would not allow anything of this nature that makes them look bad. So I expect it to be a soft semi-promotional series, at least regarding the coaches and front office.

I mean this won't exactly be a Frontline expose on some shady government activity.

I figured as much. I suspect if the Cowboys have some editorial control, they will want to make the team and Garrett look as good as possible.

Is it out yet for us to watch?


Amazon today announced that season three of the Emmy-winning docuseries All or Nothing, a Prime Original Series produced by NFL Films, will launch on Friday, April 27. All or Nothing: The Dallas Cowboys, once again narrated by Emmy-winning actor Jon Hamm (Baby Driver, Mad Men), follows the Cowboysthrough their tumultuous 2017 season, which they enter with Super Bowl aspirations and exit with disappointment, one game short of the playoffs after a rollercoaster of controversy and emotion. All eight episodes will be available for Prime members on April 27.


They've done the Rams and Cards. It's a really good series.

The All or Nothing show should be a good one...or at least entertaining.

“The whole thing was soft,” coach Jason Garrett tells his offense after a Week Two loss in Denver, during the opening episode of Amazon’s All or Nothing that focuses on last year’s Dallas Cowboys. “Soft at the point of attack. Soft in the backside. It was soft with the runner. Not strong enough with the ball.”

But no doubt he was clapping the whole game at our "soft team" and performance.

The ginger clapper blaming everyone and everything but himself?

Sounds about right

Where does the quote indicate he and the coaching staff were blameless?

If he had said the team played hard, but things just didn't work out, fans would have ripped him for not acknowledging the poor quality of play.

Fans have been upset with him for not getting mad and showing emotion in the past, and now when he does it, they are somehow bothered by it?

His repeated use of the cliche that they needed to watch the tape. LOL

They always need to watch the tape. That's true of every team, every game. But that doesn't somehow mean he had no idea they played poorly until after he watched the tape.

It was a joke. LOL

Well, we know the team hasn’t been good enough. Where we disagree is regarding the causes for that.

I take it you favor keeping Garrett, and while I disagree with that, I don't get the need for many fans to fabricate nonsense complaints. If fans feel Garrett hasn't accomplished goals - fine, that's a fair reason to think he should be let go. But instead many fans have to twist and exaggerate and fabricate all sorts of other reasons to dislike Garrett. He got mad - he cussed, he expressed his disappointment - a lot of fans have been upset over the years that he hasn't been willing to do that. Then he does it, and they twist that into something negative.

Garrett needs to realize that physically mauling another team doesnt equal a W. Maybe 2 decades ago that may work but now it's a different league. But hey retro strategies work great according to nobody!
