So when the Cowboys win Dak has nothing to do with it???
To you, it's automatically Dak's fault no matter what. I agree with you that Dak did not play a good game, but there was a whole lot more wrong with this game than Dak. For one thing, Garrett does not allow the offense to play to Dak's strengths. Dak is a running QB and Garrett won't let him run!
If you don't want your QB to run, don't draft a running QB! DUHH Garrett! You want somebody to blame, blame Garrett for not allowing Dak to do what he does best. That's not on Dak, it's on Garrett!

This game was definitely not on Dak. He made some mistakes, but receivers dropped a couple of very catchable balls. It's also not his fault the running game was pathetic, and sure as Hell wasn't his fault the defense let the Rams run for about 5000 yards.

I still think Romo is the reason Jerry yanked playcalling from Garrett. Romo probably did complain about Garrett. Jerry wouldn't fire him, but he could compromise and hire a new OC to call plays.

That's about the only reason I can think of for Jerry doing that. We know JG didn't want to give up playcalling on his own..

It all started with the new contract. I’m
Pretty sure Romo made some demands, thus the “Peyton Manning” type responsibilities. Even Wade Wilson said that Romo would start implementing his concepts and Garrett had to spin this move of Romo now being in game planning meeetings as ‘making sense’.

That’s why I think they stuck with Dak, because Garrett could finally get rid of Romo, the guy that was stripping away his influence. I believe Garrett perceived of Romo as a threat.

Totally agree. Plus Garrett knew a new rookie QB would buy him a few more years of leeway.

Romo’s biggest flaw was his goofy nature. If he had a more dominant personality I think we could have gotten rid of the Garrett scourge. I still remember both him and Witten yelling at Garrett on the sideline in 2012 the year Jerry finally started the process of taking control away from him.

Did anyone hear Jerry give Garrett a vote of confidence after the game? Did he talk at all? If not, maybe that's a good sign. Usually the first thing he does after a lost season is proclaim his faith in Garrett, and I mean mere minutes after the last game.

That's worth about 1/2 dozen likes but the system won't allow that. LOL
And what you said about the Rams running the ball down our throats IMO was the biggest problem we had with this game. We were like a swinging gate for their RBs. They killed us with their running game.

He was outplayed by a clearly superior quarterback.
