Cowboys Over-Performed?

Alexander said:
Most of the time when teams have a lot of close wins, it is natural to assume that it might end up in a regression the following season if things remain constant. That is why it is important that the brass don't stay complacent. Change nothing, this is likely a six-eight win team.

We as Cowboys fans know that a lot of our close games were not as close as the final score would indicate.....because we watched the games. Late scores on the defense ect.

With no number 1 WR that the organization did not replace and Freddie out with a rookie guard that was expected to lean on his experience?

That's where coaching comes in. Like is said, Garret isn't as bad as I make him out to be, but he is not good enough to succeed without better talent than the other team.

Amari Cooper changed this season. Pay the man. We got the 4th overall pick in the draft through a mid season trade.

Dak was set up to fail with no no.1 WR, no no.1 TE, and no no.1 C. Dak and Zeke were a struggling hot mess until they got the AC working.

He didn't change it on his own. The defense played better too.

We went from bottom 5 in WR separation to top 5 after AC. And we lost Witten minutes before the draft.

The article's point is that this team wasn't as good as people thought and could revert to non-playoff status next year. The analysis shows that the team likely played like an 8 win team and essentially just got lucky.

Not exactly sure how this is a "positive" article for Garrett. In fact, it likely speaks to the opposite.

It's positive because he took a young and inexperienced team to the divisional round, much like he did in 2016 with a rookie qb and Rb, the team lost its center(heart of OL) they won games, they started an undersized rookie guard, they won games, they changed OL coach, won games, lost their starting TE, they won games, lost their starting LG, won games.

This article basically says that Dallas was lucky to win 10 games. (Which inst surprising as Dallas finished 21st overall in adjusted DVOA). Why does JG deserve credit?

The team wasn't supposed to win 10 games if you're taking that stance. He took a team that wasn't supposed to win and won. How is that hard to see?

He doesn't deserve any credit for leading the team to an over-performing season. #SMH

The entire premise of the article is saying that Dallas performed at a mediocre level. They did not over perform. 10 wins was very fortunate based on their level of play. After that point the article shows historical data suggesting that Dallas will regress to the mean next year. Not trying to be rude, but I don/t think you fully grasp the point of the article.
 
The issue is that they are only in year nine of the process. Never mind taking advantage of Dak’s early contract. The process is the process and fans just need to be patient.
 
Garrett is the most under appreciated HC in Cowboys history. At least if you use this anonymous fan site as a measuring stick which IMO doesnt always represent Cowboys Nation.

Unless you're willing to absolve JG of blame when things go bad, you pretty much have to give him credit when things go well. Can't have it both ways.

This is how the haters play, that's their rule, when it's bad it's JG, when it's good, it's everybody else....lol

The entire point of the article is that Dallas was very lucky to win 10 games based on their level of play. I really dont think people understand the point of this article.

This 9 year BS is just using a narrative to support your opinion.

This the 2nd team Garrett has had to restructure . The 1st one ended with Romo and another begun with Dak. These are almost 2 completely different rosters.

And what exactly are we being patient for. Like if it doesn’t culminate into a championship it’s a total failure. Lol

Even with the level of play, THEY WON 10 GAMES THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE .
The coach has to get credit for it, just as he would if they lost those 10

Which is pretty much the life of a troll. Totally agenda driven. The more I follow this forum the less I like it. Unfortunately like much of Social Media a noisy minority’s drives it.

Agreed. A first place schedule and AFC East next year will be tough to repeat.

Garrett optimized this season for sure. Not hardly anyone picked us to win division.

AFC East is the Patriots and 3 challenged teams.

So, 3-1 should be doable.

I agree it will be tough to repeat though. Hoping the FO is proactive than reactive this year.
