I actually saw the game, though. The Rams offense beat us by opening holes we couldn’t fill and staying in advantageous passing situations and then executing those. They have abetted team.

Coaching really wasn’t a significant factor. I know you don’t like that and want it to not be true, but that doesn’t change anything. McVay is a really good coach. Definitely good enough to win it all. Hesnit doing it without the right matchups and without the personnel.

Why would McVay choose to run against us after the regular season and playoff game against the Seahawks? Because they saw something on tape that they could take advantage of? Coaching matters.

The real problem isn't fan expectations, it's that there is no evidence the Cowboys will ever matter in the slightest as long as Garrett is in charge.

The Cowboys haven't mattered since Chan Gailey was in charge.

The biggest problem for Dallas isn't the head coach, it's the people hiring the coaches.

Dude the Rams players came right out and told us! What are you talking about??? They said throughout the week they studied film and knew exactly what the defensive line was going to do based on their set up?? How do you not get that? THAT'S COACHING! Garrett wouldn't look for something like that to save his life, he relies on beating the guy across from you, not scheming up a great gameplan like finding little things the Rams do on defense that will expose them.

There are plenty of up and coming young College coaches that would love a chance in the NFL and I bet every one of them will work for Jerry. The game is changing to a more NCAA type and you have to adjust to that style. We need some coaches who know that game well, not a HC stuck in the past.
The Cowboys are least desirable HC position in the NFL. It’s a dead end.

Only one HC ( Gailey)in puppet era have rebounded to HC again and it took him about 10 years in college to rebuild any confidence.

Just look at the HC we’ve had since Jimmy tells you all you need to know about Jerry’s agenda.

That might be who we were and who you want us to be but we haven’t been that franchise for a generation now.

A Super Bowl or bust mentality is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard of. Lol

That means even in our glory years you were only happy in 5 of those seasons. What kind of fans are you people? Lol
What kind of fan is happy with the franchise since Garrett took over? Every year it’s the same story, decent team with no real playoff hope.

Setting aside the fact that multiple people who know more about NFL football than either of us have pointed out the flaws in Dallas' defensive approach against the Rams, how does personnel explain Dallas beating the Eagles, Eagles beating the Rams, and the Rams beating the Cowboys?

Exploiting match ups, scouting tendencies, and using those things against your opponent is all about coaching. It's a big reason why A>B, B>C, therefore A>C doesn't apply here.

You didn’t watch it closely enough. There was an article on CBS, for example, talking about the game plan and things McVay used to get our LBs out of position (motion, fake jet sweeps, etc.) to create running opportunities. It was also pointed out in multiple places our DL was giving off tells that the Rams staff used to their advantage. That’s coaching.

So do I trust people with no real bias one way or the other and their analyses of the game, or you, the guy who likely had made more excuses for Garrett than any poster here?

The kind of fan who realizes what we’ve become with Jerry lowering the bar.

The kind of fan who walked away from his season tickets after 37 years because he wasn’t going to financially contribute any longer.

Exactly, but the few Garrett fan boys out there, like this guy are hard headed close minded people and just have to stick to their argument, instead of realzing that maybe coaching had a lot to do with that game Saturday night. We were outschemed badly on both sides of the ball!

That’s one of the disadvantages we must live with under Jerry’s agendas to prove he can build a championship team without a more proven HC.

Acknowledging coaching is a concern and having a sound solution are not one in the same.

Right..

Who actually thinks we have a better team than LA?

On the left: a man making millions to play around in the NFL.

On the right: a man on a mission.

Seriously, your team got smoked (ground game)... you had NO answer for it... and you can smile that big?
Sad.
Reminds of this classic pic after one of the most embarrassing losses in team history... when Whisenhunt said after the game, "I'm glad they froze their kicker so I didn't have to." In both cases the other coach almost looks like they feel pity for the Next Landry.

Players have a salary cap so I don't care who's available you'll have to rob Peter to pay Paul somewhere, if you look at the rosters across the NFL the talent is pretty much spread out evenly. You know what doesn't have a salary cap? The coaching staff and front office, to me this is where you make your separation. If McVay was the coach of the Cowboys we would be where the Rams are right now because we have the talent to be, we just lose the sideline battle almost every Sunday. We get minimal Xs and Os advantage from having JG as our hc, this is why people point to us getting better personnel wise but what do you want a Pro Bowl lineup? That's just not going to happen.

Because talent is spread out evenly, so are wins. This supports what I’m saying that players win games in this league.

I don’t agree that are talent is as good as the Rams, and I do t believe anybody here thought it was going into the season, either.

Every fan base in the league believes they’re getting out coached every time they lose. That’s the nature of the business. They also blame the QB. Exactly as we see in Dallas.

The reality is, the best teams assemble talent, take calculated risks in FA, and then stick around and make runs when the opportunity presents itself. The Cowboys are in the process of doing just that right now. We’re in a good position even if people wont see it.

Yup, careers being wasted. I was not a big Romo fan but he was a very good QB. If he had real solid coaching he could have won a super bowl. The coaching failed him and many others. It is a shame Dak/Zeke/Cooper and more will have wasted careers because the owner is too stupid and has too big of an ego to hire a real coach and let him build the team the way he needs to. JG must look in the mirror and KNOW he isn't good enough, but in no way will he turn down that money. I guess I don't blame him.
This post is 100% crap!

You bashed Romo daily in every thread you could when he was our QB. You constantly blamed him for our losses.

You trashed Romo the same way PappyDog trashes Dak.

Now your saying that Garrett kept Romo from winning a Super Bowl.

Gives us a break!

So, you think that was coaching blowing our interior DL off the ball? Because I disagree.
