BTB: Cowboys weakness of Halftime adjustments

[Jake]

The last time the Cowboys had a championship caliber defense was 2003. Unfortunately, Quincy Carter was the QB.

Romo labored trying to outscore everyone and the trend continues with Dak.

When opponent scores over 30, Cowboys are 0-4.

When they score less than 30, Cowboys are 5-1.

In two of those 4 losses the Cowboys offense broke 30 as well.

Oh, and how did we go out of the playoffs last year?

34-31. Opponent scored over 30, again. What a surprise.

You know its bad when BTB is calling out the coaching.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah. He's still the best OL in the game imo. He's still got a few good years left.

If he can't go out there...he's useless to us.

Shanahan doesn't look very good since not having Julio and co. though.

Coaching is a problem no doubt. I guess my stance is.....the talent isnt' good enough for these coaches. That's on both sides of the ball.

The talent is good enough to be better than they are if they had competent coaching.

Shanahan took over one of the least talented offenses in football in San Fran. He's a much better offensive coach than Garrett and company.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Agreed. Which is my entire point: if you need your team to be stacked and healthy to be even remotely competitive, you are inept as a coaching staff.

Pretty much...and the sad thing is? Probably can't do much better. No one wants to coach for Jerry.

Well I guarantee you there are 31 other teams willing to take him off your hands.

Is this some sort of defense of Garrett?

Because in reality, the offense let the team down tonight too. The defense played their guys out in the first half and the offense spit the bit drive after drive after drive.

Fire the entire coaching staff.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Now you are just being silly to provide cover for Garrett.

It's simple. There is enough talent on this offense to not be as putrid as they have been recently and at times all season.

Just admit it. We need a new coaching staff. Once you accept that very basic and accurate premise, your life will become easier.

I guess you haven't read my posts in this thread. I said the coaching staff isn't good enough to coach this "talent".

We aren't even bringing a knife. We are bringing a plastic fork to a gun fight.

I would say a spoon. At least a fork has a pointy thing

I'm speaking hypothetically if i'm a GM. As a Cowboy fan i'm not saying get rid of him. But it is some red flags when you are in your mid 20's and are having back injuries every year.

 

[links18]

This coaching staff actually played for the FG to end the half. Pathetic.

 

[flosho]

It took us 47 minutes last week to realize our LT was getting beat like a drum. We dont have good coaches.

I watched the packers get dominated and hundley got beat up and sacked 6 times... meanwhile dak is sacked 6 times by THE SAME ******* GUY! How did we not have a fight end helping on every pass play is beyond me.

 

[mardwin]

cowboys don't make adjustments. They keep running with the same gameplan into the ground...

Sad part is that the front-office doesn't recognize that.

 

[Austin 3-16]

In spite of them not because of them. That's our administration for you.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Embarrassing.

I saw this coming tonight. Becoming a disgusting trend. They aren't that much better than us talent wise. We just get outclassed by even rookie coaches.

 

[flosho]

Sad part is that the front-office doesn't recognize that.

The front office doesnt make adjustments either. Just ride Garrett into back to back losing seasons and make escuses for him.

Actually just one chopstick.

But in the third quarter the Cowboys are a much different team. They’re outscored by 0.6 points per drive. That’s 6.6 points per game or 106 points in a season. That’s a really bad team.

So the meme is accurate. The 2017 Dallas Cowboys are a good team with really bad third quarter problems. Why the team struggles on both sides of the ball after the halftime break is a mystery but it’s definitely a real thing. This is an area that must improve if the Cowboys’ have any hope of making this season a success.

A mystery? Yeah right.

It's the coaches.

I think we are now the record holders on scoring 30 and losing

Investing so much money in Dez has really hamstrung the team.
