Garrett ripped “soft” offense after Denver loss

OmerV said:

I take it you favor keeping Garrett, and while I disagree with that, I don't get the need for many fans to fabricate nonsense complaints. If fans feel Garrett hasn't accomplished goals - fine, that's a fair reason to think he should be let go. But instead many fans have to twist and exaggerate and fabricate all sorts of other reasons to dislike Garrett. He got mad - he cussed, he expressed his disappointment - a lot of fans have been upset over the years that he hasn't been willing to do that. Then he does it, and they twist that into something negative.

The Cowboys were completely helpless that game! Basically that falls on the head coach not the players!! The whole team had their manhood taken away!

I don't think fans are upset he cussed or expressed disappointment for how they played. It's part of the larger picture where he often refuses to accept any responsibility when things go south. Sometimes he comes close but often kind of dances around the reality.

Look at that Atlanta debacle. After the game Garrett talked about how Green was accountable for his poor play and how they apparenty tried to give him a little help and "maybe" should have done a bit more. Instead, of saying, "You know what? We screwed that up big time. The proof is the results."

He never really accepts blame for much of anything and often skirts around that fact.

I don't think he does that at all. I think that's just what fans want to believe. He talks about the team as a collective - he uses the word "WE" a lot. He doesn't talk in a way that excludes himself and the coaches.

This isn't really different than other coaches do, and in fact, there are other coaches in the past (Parcells for one) that would point fingers at specific players.

Other coaches don't routinely spend press conference time after a loss talking about how he and the coaches failed. That's not how it works. But somehow, because they blame Garrett, many fans somehow think that Garrett should go up after losses and apologize for his shortcomings. That's a ridiculous expectation. Neither the best, nor the worst coaches do that.

The All or Nothing show should be a good one...or at least entertaining.

“The whole thing was soft,” coach Jason Garrett tells his offense after a Week Two loss in Denver, during the opening episode of Amazon’s All or Nothing that focuses on last year’s Dallas Cowboys. “Soft at the point of attack. Soft in the backside. It was soft with the runner. Not strong enough with the ball.”

Garrett, rarely, if ever takes responsibility. The "we" is a classic example of skirting responsibility. It wasn't my fault, it was "we". It's a classic deflection tactic from people that struggle to take on responsibility themselves.

I don't think he needs to take blame for every loss or every mistake or every problem. But he rarely takes blame for any of it, and that's the problem. That Falcons game was a clear example of a coaching mistake and yet after the game, he spent much of his time dealing with that issue by talking about how Green took the blame and how the coaching staff actually gave him help (which was BS, they gave him very little).

There's no clearer example than that game of a coaching mistake and then the coach basically not taking any responsibility himself.

Where does the quote indicate he and the coaching staff were blameless?

If he had said the team played hard, but things just didn't work out, fans would have ripped him for not acknowledging the poor quality of play.

Fans have been upset with him for not getting mad and showing emotion in the past, and now when he does it, they are somehow bothered by it?

We had no answer for the Bronco's offense at all and their defense just annihilated us.

No one is 'bothered by it'
Everyone who had any intelligence and pays attention already knows that Garrett never takes the blame but has thrown players under the bus plenty
The guy is a pathetic excuse for a HC

So Garrett's offense that he has installed and trained the players on for the last 8 years is "soft".

Don't see how this is a compliment for Garrett

No, everyone who wants to believe that "knows it". Aside from the fact the idea Garrett always throws players under the bus is a myth, I would love for you to name all these other coaches that routinely talk about their coaching failures after losses.
