Here is a refresher (I bolded the ones that stand out to me):

2011 Jets - Romo fumble on the goalline, block punt TD, then lose on a Nick Folk (just cut) kick.

2011 Lions, Up 24 points in the 3rd Q yet Garrett has Romo slinging the ball and he throws 2 pick sixes to start the second half.

2011 Patriots - Running the ball 3x with 4 minutes left in the game and punting back to Tom freaking Brady who drives down the field for the game winning TD.

2011 Cardinals - Icing our kicker on the GW field goal, misses the second kick.

2011 Giants - JPP blocks game-tying field goal.

2012 Giants - Go down 23-0 at home, Dez finger on backline endzone OOB.

2012 Saints - Lose Wk 16 home game to hapless Saints which would have clinched the division.

2012 Commanders - lose Week17 winner take all on a Romo pick to the flats in the last 2 mins.

2013 Packers - Matt Flynn coming back from 3 scores back in the 2nd half

2013 Eagles - Lose Week 17 winner takes division game at home.

2014 Eagles - Mark Sanchez Thanksgiving Massacre.

2014 Packers -Dez caught it but we gave up a 8pt lead to one-legged Rodgers.

2015 entire season - Go 1-11 without Romo.

2016 Giants - Terrance Williams inexplicably doesn't go out of bounds on GW drive, time runs out.

2016 Packers - Go down 21-3 in home playoff game, go pass-happy in RZ, lose opportunity at home Super Bowl.

2017 Rams - Up 12 at home, McVay comes out of halftime and toys with Garrett for entire 2nd half.

2017 Falcons - Adrian Clayborn - 6 sacks, nuff said.

2017 Seahawks - Spend previous weeks destroying draft positioning only to lose home playoff-elimination game. Dez has crucial drop and fumble.

2018 Commanders - Snap infraction, Maher hits upright on GW field goal.

2018 Colts - Bullied for 4 quarters by Eberflus' defense.

2018 Rams - Give up nearly 300 yds rushing, lose to 2nd year head coach.

2019 Saints - Can't win w/out Brees

2019 Packers - Can't win w/out Davante Adams

2019 Jets - Lose to 0-4 team with a QB returning from mono.

2019 Vikings - Can't win w/out Thielen & Joseph. Choke away GW drive near GL.

After reading that, I feel like I've been given a thorough drubbing.

It's shocking any coach could survive 35 loses like that...and still retain a job. Yet here we are. :popcorn:

If I had to pick one.....

2013 Saints - Allow 40 first downs to the Saints (NFL record) & 625 total yards (franchise record).

That should have been the nail in the coffin....but it wasn't. Unfortunately...Jerry found another scapegoat in Ryan...and the rest is history. :banghead:

I would be hard pressed to find another head coach in NFL history with this many bad games that was given a decade to stay and “grow into the position”.

Jerry Jones is the only sports executive I know of currently who is completely comfortable with a coach sporting these results, but hates the “discomfort” of having a head coach who could possibly upstage him. It’s pathetic.

I guess if every loss is embarrassing sure, but several of them are just losses. Even if I grant you the 2011 Patriots loss due to the poor decisions at the end, most are just losses

I know its probably not the most popular but I vote for this year's Pats game. He was simply outcoached and trolled in every facet of the game.

He looked like the Muddogs coach in the Water Boy

Now this thread has some meat to it....I’ve been waiting to get to this point. Where we add up the damage....he’s king of all time at obscure losses.
2017 Den blowout loss is probably worst...my own personal worst? WAS where he’s OC and called that asinine pass play before half that resulted in a turnover ala Romo to Choice and flushed their season away with it.
