How many different plays do you think can be run on a football field?
The Eagles used to say when Jimmy was the coach that they knew what play was coming, but couldn't stop it.
Personnel, skill, and discipline as well as attitude make the difference.
Go beat your man rah rah **** we’ve heard the last 10 years.

Scheme. Scheme. Scheme. Something we’ve never seen here. This is what we need. Not this 1990’s nonsense.

No, its about looking at the defense your playing against and calling the proper play to exploit tendancies. You sound like Garret. Its all about execution. You can execute the perfect run play but if its 5 guys blocking 8, its not going to work.
No. That's a part of it, yes, but it's not the main philosophy.
Each team has to develop its own identity based on the strengths it possesses. These are what you build on. Exploiting weaknesses is not a game plan.
That must be formulated on your strengths-not their weaknesses.

People have been telling you this for a while.

People just facing facts now because there's no more excuses.

Sometimes, usually actually, a game plan has to be flexible and adaptable to whats actually going on in the game. I am speaking specifically of in-game adjustments. A game plan is worthless without them.

Not scheme- philosophy.
It doesn't matter what weaknesses another team possesses if those are not your strengths.
Take your strengths and use them in a way so as to make a weakness in the other team they didn't know they had.

If you let the defense dictate your offense, you just lost the game and your team begins to not know who they are.
You can exploit opportunities, but that doesn't make a game plan.
Make the defense react to you- not vice versa.

It worked in a different era. The cap era is one of parity where talent is evenly distributed among the teams. Coaching and scheme, and adjustments matter more in today's game than ever. That why NE dominates and every one else is up and down. Nobody adapts in-game better than Belechek.

That's why NE wins. Belicheck understands what he can do with what he has and forces other teams to react to him.
They soon make mistakes because they lose touch with their own strengths, and the Patriots capitalize.

Impossible to stack the personnal skill level like Jimmy did back then.

The offense was horrible period. It has been for some time. Last nights final score looks like it was close but it wasnt. Dak may have thrown for over 300 yards again...but most of it against a prevent defense...we got man handled....again...clean out the entire staff...all of them. No coaches should be left from this regime.

Cowboys play against the Commanders Eagles and Giants and have pretty good success...Thing is when they play the better teams, Not so successful...It's not rocket science here..

Nope.
The Cowboys of the past 9 years have had teams that rivaled that team.
What they didn't have was good coaching.

The NFC East died when Joe Gibbs went to Nascar, Jimmy went to Miami, and when Parcells and Belichick went to New England.
Until then they were called "The Beasts of the East" because of the number of Super Bowl titles racked up over a twelve year period.
You can trace the demise of the East directly back to those teams and the departure of those coaches.
So when people ask if it is talent, or is it coaching that wins Super Bowls, the answer is Both.
But great coaches make players great, not the opposite.
