Romo dealt with it and now Dak is dealing with it

The 4th quarter hiccups are surprising considering how cool Garret was under pressure when he played. He didn't drop that clip board once no matter how close the game.

New Orleans 12 Cowboys 10, we still lost can't ask for from a D than to hold the opposition to under 14
New Orleans nearly had 40 minutes time of possession. They knew they couldn't put up many point with that QB so they played keep away. I'm just saying I don't recall a moment when it really mattered when our defenses ever made that crucial stop. Ever.

Not putting all the blame on defense tho.

If you hold a team to 12 should you not be able to score more? And time of possesion for the Saints was 36 minutes not near 40

Last 3 plays of the game, but Garrett had nothing to do with that
If he didn’t, and you very well may be correct, have anything to do with it then what does he do, exactly?

Organize team dinners, pep rallies?

He gave up play calling because he couldn’t handle that and manage the clock(among other reasons), but in crunch time he needs to know what’s going on and have a positive affect.

That’s hard to do when he’s staring at the field and rarely speaking to anyone.

If he’s an average coach he sure as **** can’t allow those two runs nor the fair catch.

Not that it matters anyway. This team gets in its own way whether it's defense, offense or (not so) special teams. It's been the same ol same old for almost 10 years. :(

I just hope and it finally feels that it's the last year of "it". This coaching staff mainly the HC has lost way too many close 4th quarter/last drive games. We have lost every way you could possibly lose a game under him. Freezing his own kicker, poor clock management, not having the balls to close out a game (at NE last time, why give Brady the ball back with a terrible defense), not knowing when to sit on a lead (Detroit game all he had to do was run), the Jets opener in 11 was horrible, losing 3 straight win or go home games in consecutive seasons against all 3 division rivals was pathetic and enough for his job to have been gone then. So many other head spinners that he's done in loses and even done in wins at the end of the game that we forget just because of the outcome. It's one thing if we lose because a guy on the other team just made a play and our guy didn't, it's another thing when our guys aren't prepared and our poor clock management.
Now he froze our punt returner, or the worst assistant on this team not named Rod put the order in and he didn't override. And for those that will defend and say how would he know, if Im the head coach I go over to the special teams coach and say, hey lets go all out for the block or hey, lets set up for a big return. No matter what that ball doesn't touch the turf to kill time off our clock, OK! I never heard and don't understand the hey, lets save 3-4 seconds by not returning the punt. This way we can run a 5 yard out that will take 5 seconds. I mean really, how does that make any sense?
I just don't want to see Daks years wasted like we did with Romo. It was pretty sad to see. Team needs a guy who can lead and close out games, not cave when it's the ending. No more learning process, get ahead of the curve and always be prepared for anything. That's what the good ones do. Bill adds 2-3 wins a year in NE on coaching alone, Garrett takes 2-3 a year away on coaching. Thats the difference between an 8-8, 9-7 record that misses the playoffs and a 12-4 record that gets a first round bye.

Gotta love fake narratives. Dak has never had a defense when it matters like the Packer playoff game or last year vs Rams. Hold either of those teams under 25 points and Cowboys win.
Yup. Our D sometimes looks decent by the numbers, and now and then we'll unexpectedly shut someone down(Seachickens, playoffs last year), but then we give up enough rushing yards for a couple of trips round the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
