Audibles are a thing. This wasn't playcalling

Wow ....... Shows how little you really know.

FO
So you missed Romo's time here? He changed protections, routes, formations, everything. So do a lot of quarterbacks.

Football is cool. You should try it.

No he did not change the entire personal and lineup in an audible ..... He would put the tight end in motion and move the RB, same thing Dak does.

Stop desperately lying to try and save your ridiculous point.

Your thread is being ridiculed just like this sorry coaching staff ....... And just like them there is no saving it

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

No, he can't change the personnel obviously. But he can turn a run off right tackle into a play action pass or a screen pass or a run off left tackle or a pitch or a whatever he wants to. He can literally call the play at the line of scrimmage just like Peyton, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, and a number of other guys do all the stinking time.

There's a natural audible built in, but there are dozens of other plays that can be gotten to with all sorts of other commands.

I'm surprised you do not know this frankly.

I honestly don't understand the desire to defend the unequivocal worst coach in the NFL.

It is not even close. These are the same problems that have run rampant for A DECADE.
It's Stockholm syndrome.

I don't know that he's "the worst" coach in the NFL but he has consistently shown that he is not a great or even "very good" coach. I would think you'd have to be one or the other to stick around for a decade. Not here though. Here, complacency reigns.

He is absolutely the worst.

It might be like a 6-7 way tie, but there is not one JG-specific thing you can point to that makes this team better. They aren't motivated, organized, well-prepared or innovative. There's no culture or identity to speak of and they collapse with every injury. On the flip side, you can look at every single week and point to glaring, dumb decisions by the head coach that hurt the team. Every single week.

I'm less interested in determining whether or not Garrett is the problem than I am finding a coach that is the solution.

Dak has been doing that too.

It still doesn’t mean that the coaches don’t share the responsibility to call plays and personnel packages to put the team in the best position to win.

So the point is, not blaming coaching or playcalling at all is nonsense.

of course if the QB audibles or if somebody just makes an amazing play, things might work.

but people saying it’s not about playcalling, is ignoring 8+ years of historical context, in which Garret’s offensive system has been a detriment to the team.


Playcalling matters. Any insinuation that playcalling doesn’t matter is just flat out wrong.

I understand that being wrong this entire time has been a tough pill to swallow. I wish you all the best.

You completely missed the point being made. Reading is fundamental. Don’t have to wish me the best either. Me and others will be here ALL season critiquing. Let’s see how the season ends before you run your victory lap

Anyone who would put Presgoat as a username for a guy who hasn’t won a thing is delusional. Can’t wait to see how the season ends! That’s the important thing. We ain’t goin nowhere

Romo had to run the whole Offense.... The plays Garrett would send in were garbage. There was a big point On Talking Cowboys 5-6 years ago that on the 2 minute drills Romo received more autonomy & that is why Dallas would always move the ball so well and move it so much better than the rest of the game. Romo was allowed to play with more freedom without Garrett screwing it up. One game Romo audibled and threw a game winning TD.... it might have been the Giants game in 2015???? But Garrett was pissed because Romo did not run his play.

The head coach is ultimately responsible for the on field results, to try and remove him from the equation just doesn't work. Head coaches routinely tell young quarterbacks to go through their progression and if they don't get what they are looking for throw the ball away. Fact is Vikings head coach Zimmer said their game plan was to stop the Dallas running game, and they did that all night. Running Zeke at that point in the game should have never been a option, that's on the head coach. Zeke could have been a safety valve or outlet, but we all know Dak should have been throwing the ball or running it himself if it was open to him. The Vikings main objective was to stop the run, they did that all night, however for some reason the coaching staff continued to run when it had failed all night. There are times in every game when the head coach oversees what is called on the field, it appears that Garrett doesn't do this. Garrett has history of not taking responsibility for the on field results.

This audible thing is a way to let someone off the hook who many not deserve to be off the hook. There are only so many options you can audible to and clock time needs to be considered.

The 3rd down run itself would have worked if Connor Williams blocked the right man. Zeke would have had the 2 yards. Instead C Williams was blocking 8 yards downfield while the guy he was assigned to combo block was on Zeke.

I don't like the calls at all on any of those 3 plays. But I don't believe we need to shirt the blame away from the play calls by saying the QB can change the play. That logic can be used to never hold coaching accountable.

Our offensive line has been awful in run blocking and only ok in pass blocking.

Running the ball to Connors side is a play that should not be called last night on 3rd down.
You are spot on, running the ball there should not have been a option.

OK, well, the playcall was an RPO that gave Dak the choice to hand the ball to Zeke, keep it, or throw.

He chose Zeke.

And he could have audibled to something else entirely.

And yet you want to blame coaching. Because, of course, that's convenient and takes no thought whatsoever.

Yeah. Why should we expect the coaches to call plays that will actually work?
Except that the coaches don’t know what the defensive alignment is when the play is called. They can make assumptions based on tendencies, but I’m pretty sure it ain’t like Costner in Bull Durham telling what pitch is coming. NE pimp-slapped the Rams in the Super Bowl because they changed defense after communications were shut off and golden boy didn’t know what to do.

I didn’t like the 3rd down play call at all, but the rampant criticism is based on the result as is always the case. That play goes for a 1st or even a TD and it’s a great play all. And going one step further, let’s assume the don’t drain the clock and the Vikes come back and score (all they would have needed was FG to tie), the complaining would be we left too much time like against Green Bay.
