How has coaching incompetence changed your enjoyment of Cowboys games?

[waldoputty]

for me, it is a lot.
on some level, it has become hard to watch.
like the special teams last game not adjusting to the weather after any idiot watching the game knows better.
like garrett kicking the field goal instead of going for the touchdown with little time left and losing by 7.
i can almost count on some strategic mistake that tries hard to turn victory into defeat.
and there would likely be some moment in the game where i would be in disbelief as i watch the action unfold - thinking 'they could not be seriously doing that'

I stopped caring after the 2016 playoff loss. I knew then that the divisional round was Garrett's ceiling and we're just wasting time with him as the coach.

It sucks. It just feels like we're behind the eight ball going into almost every game.

Also, once we get into the playoffs you feel hopeless about winning a title knowing Garrett has to coach his team up for 3-4 games against elite competition with no margin for error. Does anybody imagine that ever happening? Of course not. So what are we really doing here?

yes it has become surreal to me.
not adjusting to the weather for special teams was just 'special'.
and the coach was not fired immediately after when he should have been left with a greyhound ticket.

Garrett sucks, but I still love the Cowboys!!

 

[big dog cowboy]

A lot. After falling behind early in 8 of the 11 games this year, I pretty much expect that the Cowboys will have to come from behind every week. Every week...here we go again. It gets old and just sets the tone until the Cowboys catch up.

yes but games are getting hard to watch even as we watch awaiting the eventual screwup

You need to start drinking again.....it helps!

no go, bro!
we deserve red badge of courage for watching the abomination

 

[JohnsKey19]

Numb to it. It's been the same sad story for a decade. The losses dont STING like they used to. Garrett is fortunate to have Pro Bowl caliber QB play his entire tenure to mask how bad he really is.

 

[JoeKing]

My enjoyment of the game has not changed.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

I love watching the Cowboys but watching this constant mediocre coaching wasting talent of guys I like has gotten old. I had such high hopes back when Romo, Witten and Ware were young with Bill then came along Wade and JG and those hopes are gone.

Yes, it has. It’s to the point where after 45 years of being a fan I almost despise this team due to its owners and coaching staff CONSTANTLY having us ill-prepared for games.

 

[NorTex]

Lack of execution and unfair penalties bother me. Coaching is a non factor in my enjoyment of the game.

 

[snapper]

I'll still watch, but my expectation is guarded. I expect them to find a way to lose more often than I'm confident they will win.

Edit: At this point, I find the draft more pleasurable.

 

[BleedinBlue]

why did our kicker keep banging it out of the end zone? It would have been nice to see if the Pats might muff one of those. Maybe get good field position.

 

[BigD_95]

Its so hard watching the Cowboys. I want them to win so bad when I watch them but I know if we win just enough Garrett wont be fired.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Yes it has....I hate watching my team play with the expectation of a loss due to the incompetence of our failure of a head coach.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Massively. When Landry was coach in the 70s, I knew he could out-coach any other coach in the league with the possible exception of Chuck Noll. When Johnson was coach, I knew the team had superb talent and Johnson knew exactly how to maximize that and often out-coached other coaches. With Garrett, I can pretty count on almost any other HC in the NFL out coaching him. If I looked long and hard thought the NFL, I might be able to find a coach of one or two of the 32 teams that Garrett could out coach. Maybe.

I want the cowboys to win but with garrett its just that he has failed so much that u just know that he has reached his top level here in dallas its time for him to move on when u watch with him as the coach u know they are not prepared and in the end when its important in the big games his team will fail hard to enjoy something that u know in the end your team will always spit the bit so no its a lot harder to watch cowboys games and has been for awhile now
