Gotta wonder, if they get those calls do they win and go from there. It sucks that refs decided those games. Not the players.

It's not a what if... it's a what is...

Philly won their last four games to win the division with reserves from the Texas School for the Blind... we were inept...

Richards scheme was cover the sideline and force everything inside. The flaw was he was playing cover 3 so the middle was a big fat hole of open where every team picked up 3rd and forevers regularly. Im a fan and even i understood that you cant stop a TE up the seam or a wr running a slant in this defense setup. A WR running a cross on 3rd and medium was literally a first down 100% of the time.

I could stomach JG if they gave him another yr. I wouldnt be able to stomach Richard. Carrol ran him out of SEA for destroying their defense.

Quinn and special teams, lol i cant even get mad at how bad he was. So bad it just makes you laugh. I seriously get a smile everytime i think about special teams.

I cannot stomach Garrett. As a head coach you make the proper changes to fix the problem. If what you said was true about Richard than Garrett should have done something. Why didn't he?

If your the head coach and you can find solutions to the problem... you end up being the problem. That was the hallmark to Garrett's tenure.

He let things get out of control and did nothing.

Its not on talent. You always hear ex players on shows saying they have no idea how theyre not winning with the players they got.

This is why i say people in this forum have no clue or are just lying in their criticism.

They say Elliot is washed up being hes not producing.

First off he finished with 1230 yrds rushing 12tds and 415 yrds rec 2tds but thats besides the point

He did this with a poor blocking scheme to start with. Schlereth even said how is he supposed to take off if hes fighting off 2 and 3 guys as he gets the ball.

He had this production with his coaching not running the ball. He had 12 rushing tds with his coaches not calling run plays in the redzone.

How do you have the RB with the most touches the most yrds and most TDs in the NFL since 2016 and take him out of your offense regularly.

Sometimes i wonder if people even watch the game or are too wrapped up crying in the game thread trying to be clever.

Yet you start another post with 10 posts on the first page belonging to you. I guess that's how you got to 15,000 posts and have all the answers. Maybe you should actually be talking to Jerry instead of other people on a chat board expressing their opinions?

So slater is reporting that there was coaches fighting amongst eachother on the staff? Maybe just maybe this is evident in the head scratchers these clowns put out the 2nd half of the yr? These guys play calling literally had announcers, fans, media, and exec's scratching their heads on what they were trying to do during games. Makes alot of sense if you look at their situational football.

DL playing over aggressive, but the secondary playing soft.
DL playing wide leaving LBers exposed

Abandoning the run after first drives
Head scratching calls on 3rd and short
Zone blocking schemes that made no sense when ur trying to pound inside
Having ur best players on the sidelines in critical moments

DL substitions on first drives of games

ST blunders all season

All this coming out, while looking back at what went down this season, now it makes sense why so many players had down yrs.

How do you win games if your coaching staff has their own agendas?

Garrett never had problem scoring with Tony? Defense was the issue?
Still trying to sway the folks away from the real reason we fell on our faces!

80% QB play.
20 % Coaching

Defense was top 10 most of the season so I'll take that as a non-reason.

Where's Xwalker when you need him the most????

And Jerry is proving that good coaching can't override bad ownership/managing. (See Parcell years)

If you truly want to know what ruined the season, don't just look at the last season, look at the last 24 seasons.
Therein lies the answer.

When you just put guys together instead of them hiring their own people, this is exactly what happens. This mess belongs to Jerry.

Yes... we had poor scheming and play calling...

Run when you should pass... pass when you should run...

Tampa 2 with three to four wideouts...

Worst Special Teams in History of the NFL...

FG vs going for it...

I could go on and on...

Now tell me why Garrett gets one more year?

Honestly I finally figured out why Garrett looks so stupid on the sidelines this year.
I believe a part of him really wants out of this situation. Lol

You gotta wonder, would perception of Garrett and Cowboys history be different if refs dont blow the Dez catch, and call the obvious hold on David Irving.
Dez obviously caught the ball. But do you honestly think that we win that game even if it's ruled a TD? There were over 4 minutes left in the game and the Packers would just need a field goal. As a matter of fact we couldn't even get a stop after the bogus ruling to get the ball back for another chance at a score. Brad Schramm pointed out that a lot of fans think that it was at the very end of the game. He also pointed out that "the catch" Dwight Clark made for the 49ers was also not at the end of the game. We still had chances to win both of those and failed miserably.

I agree coaching is a huge part of the problem, as there are far too many decisions or plays that left everyone head scratching.
However, let’s not sugar coat this and point the blame at the coaches and FO only.
Yes with the “talent” this team has the expectations were higher. However, as a player you have to go out there week in and week out and give 100% all the time. Which unfortunately no one save a few names did.
As a player you have to play for winning a game and getting to a championship.
Not for how many endorsements you can get and for showboating on the field.
It’s a brutal sport and it takes its toll on the human body but you have to have the desire to overcome it...

Walter Payton played behind a pathetic O-line most of his career and yet he excelled, as did Sanders, the list is long of examples.
Any of you think our $90 million clown plays with the same intensity?
If you do go watch some old video of Emmitt playing with a dislocated shoulder to wake you up out of your daydreams.
Coaching makes a difference but players talent and heart can overcome mediocre coaching.

There was still a ton of time left in that game. Nothing says we actually stop one legged Rodgers when we couldn't that day if the call is upheld. Imho green Bay wins regardless of the outcome of that play.

All season long this was happening and it just made me sick to see the Cowboys get a team in 3rd and 12 and it became a first down.
