It’s not ineptitude. That Giants team won it all. They were hotter than we were when it mattered. Playoff games are often close. The Eagles probably ought to have lost to the Falcons but for the goal line stand. When it doesn’t break your way, sometimes it’s not incompetence and is only a small sample size instead.

That 2014 SEA win over GB was insane, too, btw.

I agree about these games individually in a vacuum. When you look at all of the failures over the past 22 years, however, there are some pretty noticeable trends, particularly of late. To win 2 playoff games with elite level QB play over the course of a decade is inexcusable (2006-2016). Truly inexcusable and embarrassing.

Which Garrett supporters are you referring to? From what I’ve seen there are zero on this forum

There is about three of them that actively post.................if you surf the threads regularly, you will be able to pick them out.

Pretty much the main reason they give for still supporting Garrett is that the defense is not good enough. However, when you ask them why Garrett in eight years has not fixed the defense.....................you usually get crickets and no response to your post.

Tonight must have been pretty devastating for them, watching a division rival with a backup QB and a backup LT with 2nd year head coach advance to the SuperBowl...........virtually flies in their face every excuse they have given for Garrett over the last 8 years.

But there are words.....its called qualified Coaching!!!

Ehhh. Our bum *** coach just won COTY. it’s roster construct. Howie Roseman knocked it out of the park this year. Damn near every move paid dividends. I’ve had madden seasons like that as well. I have to override the computer though at times. For whatever reason the league was complicit for him. Think I dislike the Vikings and Dolphins more than the Giants currently. #MeToo

Garrett
Written
Jerry

Common denominators wit those teams

what did witten do wrong? In fact last year he was tackled at the goal line and it should have been P.I. and first and goal but they let it go and we kicked a field goal on that drive in last years playoff game. Those other 4 points would have been nice

Are there any media types in this city that have the balls to ask jerry these questions?

He’s in front of a microphone enough for someone to point this out.


They are complicit.. they were Garrett-lackeys for years. The only ones that raised issues about Garrett was Breer in his limited stint here and Sturm at times..

Dallas and Garrett still got lackeys in the media like Archer.. these guys are in Jerry’s pocket. Guys like Clarence Hill made enemies with guys like TO and Dez, so it made the pro-Garrett propaganda more easily palatable to neutral people.

thats not true. The stadium has been good. Win and will continue to be. The playoff games in 14 and 16 were as good as anywhere in the league.

The Cowboys have stunk at home for the last 10 years. In the years they were 8-8 or better, their home record was:

2005: 5-3
2006: 4-4
2007: 6-2
2008: 6-2
2009: 6-2
2011: 5-3
2012: 4-4
2013: 5-3
2014: 4-4
2016: 7-1
2017: 3-5

And it's not all about Jerry World because some of that goes back to Texas Stadium too. Home field doesn't really make much of a difference for this team like it does for most of the teams in the NFL. A REAL contender should never lose 3+ games at home but that's been the case for seven of those seasons listed above.

Archer is no lackey. he is the best writer in the market and the only one that avoids all the nonsense and generally keeps it about football on the field. Rarely is he pulled offsides with girlfriend stripper type nonsense.

Sturm works in radio and has had plenty of opportunity to ask people here hard questions on his show and never does. He has had garrett on plenty of times and usually tries to impress him with how much he knows about football and the response is usually crickets like it should be.

Guess which one seed is not like the others.

Defensive rank (points per drive)
2017 NE 6th
2017 Phi 3rd
2016 NE 2nd
2016 Dal 16th
2015 Den 1st
2015 Car 4th
2014 NE 8th
2014 Sea 2nd

Dallas needs an offense stuffed with all of our talent to be serviceable, so it's going to be impossible for us to have a top notch defense and an offense that doesn't look atrocious.

You know radio shows better, so I would not question your POV. I’m not in the Dallas area.

As far as Archer, he’s horrible and always defends Garrett.

When I refer to Sturm I was referring to his pieces that criticize the offense, including Garrett.

By being lackeys, I refer to defending Garrett specifically.
