doing the same thing over and over again? I did see some of that in jets game and some in saints game, but also in the jets game that we needed to help the OL as they were struggling...we were also missing two of the top WRs, that's 4 offensive starters...that game was all on defensive meltdown...even with that game plan we scored 22 and missed a 3 pointer (thank you maher)
. and you like to go by percentage to make your numbers look good. instead go by total number of snaps and game situation....and again, you are trying to lay 100% of blame on JG...then credit him for the wins...but its always all bad things are JG and all good things are somebody else..... , game planning week to week with coaches happens the same way with all the coaches...game calling happens the same way each week....
against the saints...the offense was seemingly more conservative...you are playing against the 31st worst run defense in the league with one of the best OLs in the game......I wanted to shove the ball down their throat.....but fred and Williams had awful awful awful game blocking......, but also that we had opportunities when we were aggressive and we didn't cash in. in a game with limited opportunities you have to cash in...... cobb was wide open in the end zone and dak missed him. Witten down the seam and he fumbled. going for it on 4th down and zeke fumbled. cooper had a bad night with pass interference penalties. in a tight close game you have to cash in on those opportunities. we didn't.... witten and zeke fumbles were HUGE...we could have kept drives alive and be in field goals position in a 12-10 game....
also you want to call the witten catch and runs anamoly because it fits your argument...then jarwin catches were also an anamoly!!! no? he doesn't make many so any catches by him is an anamoly….Jarwin has had good games against weak opponents...against better opponents even according to your stats he has been in the game, but ineffective..... do something against better opponents and you get more chances...plus against the jets, I didn't/wouldn't want jarwin in the game most of the time. Dak was getting killed as it is, much less having Jarwin to help block!!! his average time to throw was about 2 seconds in that game...not enough time to get anyone open down field, specially when gallup who had chances in that game, kept dropping balls....again, cash in, when opportunities are there...
with that said, I am not dismissing JG factor, but I don't lay all the blame on him neither....for example against GB, Dak had one of his worst halves of football in his career...he was just off the mark and his missed/bad throws cost us 14 points which would have totally changed the game...opportunities....lets cash them in
