Never played fantasy football in my life and I don't gamble.

although I am wishing I did. I wonder how much money could have been won had I or anyone else just bet 100 dollars every week on new england from the time Tom Brady took over!

Mike I've NEVER played either! FF totally contradicts what it means to be a fan of your favorite team!

When the Head Coach tells the media it was the player's fault, the players consider that selling out the player regardless of who was at fault (Quinn, Garrett or Austin).

Most HC's would just say there was a communication issue that they need to correct for the future.
But didn't everyone here blame Garrett for those answers also.

If he just said "it was a communication error" everyone here would be blaming him for not holding anyone accountable.

I’ll come here to interact with y’all but I will not be watching any more games until the Jones boys get off their azzes and do what needs to be done.

So you won't watch the games but will still post about them?

That is the most CBZ thing ever.

Guess what? A communication error likely falls on the coaching staff in terms of responsibility.

The fact is the one way the coaching staff could shirk responsibility here is to say the player messed up. And that's the path Garrett took.

That should tell you something.

B/c Jason Garrett is the one responsible for making that call. He is the one responsible for making sure players/coaches know that "it's not a fair catch if the gunners aren't wide."
To be honest, that should be UNDERSTOOD. We all know that and we’re just sitting here typing with our thumbs. Those clowns get PAID to run the ship.

But if Garrett says it was a communication issue the blame goes back to him. He should ultimately decide the strategy there. So if the special teams coordinator makes that call without telling him, there's a huge problem. A head coach should allow his assistants to call the plays, etc. But they should be the decision maker in key moments like that. It's just another way Garrett refuses to take responsibility for anything.

Anyone blaming Austin here is a fool.

How many (ex)players have called out Garrett? How many players is it going to take for you guys to open your eyes and realize he ain't who everyone thinks he is (aka, a sweet guy with good intentions, but no real moxie to be a HC). There is no doubt in my mind he told Austin to fair catch because he wouldn't be trying to hard to cover his arse if he didn't.

Go look at the all-22 before making wrong assumptions. Do you even know what a gunner is?
f the all 22, watch the replay behind Austin, it's all you need to see, there's no assumptions to make, sorry that doesn't help you trying to get a 30 yard return that wasn't there.

Yeh that's what I thought. You don't even know what a gunner is. Both of the Vikes gunners were line up inside to block the rushers. That should tell you they are not out to stop the return but stay in to prevent the punt from being blocked.

A tiny fraction of the players who played here, and the guys who did were fringe players like Crayton. The only good player who did was TO, who ripped everyone in the Western Hemisphere.

Guys like Orlando Scandrick have praised Garrett and Martellus Bennett - a knucklehead who played for 5 teams and never found a home - just told his brother he would love Dallas.

Gailey (yuck), Campo (even worse), The Princeton p**s. It’s well deserved, Risen.


Actually Gailey's first year would have been one of the Cowboys best teams but Micheal Irvin got hurt and that was the end of that. The Cowboys were 3-0 and off to a really good start then the **** hit the fan!

No one wants to read this crap!

Stick to the narrative!
