This execution thing is nauseating. Other teams are are playing with more suddenness and many times as good if not better talentwise. If they think it is all "execution", well , they have eaten the cheese. Better talent and generally more intensity will cause an opponent to execute sub-optimally. It like some old martial art dojo demonstrations where the instructors says "try to punch me with your right hand", gets ready to block and flip a student from momentum, and then the student drop kicks his nuts.

Similarly, my 100lb wife can execute a beautiful 3 point stance and drive block with perfect leverage, but I can still bull the rush the **** out of her with horrible form. This team is not as good and they think they are and are coached with deference like they are HOFers at every position

He replies-

"That's a stupid question, but yes. Absolutely. I feel like this is a man's game and it's not just on the coaching staff. I feel like they didn't do anything to hurt us. We did self inflicted wounds and it's really about the offense and the defense capitalizing and we didn't do that tonight."

what else will a player say. good or great players feel that way. no one wants to believe that a coach makes them great. I tell you one thing, Parcels or belicheck would prepare this team and motivate them.

What kind of idiot would bad mouth his boss publicly unless they want to get fired?

I'd be more concerned and question their intelligence if they did.

Did Romo ever say "JG isn't good at X's and O's" while he was still playing like he did when he was calling our game last year?

Dez said he "loved" Garrett too while he was playing. Some people are so gullible.

Watch the game.

None of this was questionable coaching. The players just sucked today.

How about that great clock management today? How about our hurry-up offense takes longer than if you huddle up? How about letting lazy players take themselves out of the game? How about players sitting on the sideline with no coaches hammering into their heads what this game is about? This one kills me every single time-How about not blitzing when the Bills had 3rd and 23 resulting in a Bills 1st down?

There were plenty of coaching mistakes.

The coaches should probably stop telling them to turn the ball over. I also don't think having Dak throw the ball in the dirt on 4th down was a good call. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone's ever converted a 4th down by throwing the ball in the dirt. That was a bad scheme.

You’re right. That was a bad pass. But even a perfect pass would have failed. Zeke would have easily been tackled before the goalline.

They're not supposed to say anything. It's also not so much what they say as opposed to how they say it. Every player called out execution in the postgame. This is after all the, "emotional," ranting that was going on. You can see the way they look at the reporters when the Garrett questions are asked. These guys know what's happening on the field and they're all in lockstep about what went wrong.

Watch Lewis. He says multiple times that he was, "trying to do too much," instead of just doing his job. Dak said they knew and were prepared for what the Bills were doing.

As Lawrence said- this is a man's game. These men are responsible for what they put on the field.
