Can we not eat the cheese for once?

I think Garrett benching Zeke and putting Morris in to finish the game shows his action which should be greater than his words to the media. Jason will likely always be a guy who tries to build his players up instead of berating them in front of the media but again his action show he and his staff are holding players accountable be it Zeke or other players like Claiborne or Bruce Carter when he was here.

Leadership is about action not words
I think a lot of people think Garrett talks to the team like he does to the media. He doesn't use the media to berate or motivate. He keeps it all in house.

As others have said, this team has no reason to even think cheese would taste good.

Despite having some weapons on offense, there are no trap games for Dallas, just like there are no trap games for the Rams, Titans, etc.
We aren't good enough or even dominant enough in any area to have trap games. On paper, every game will be a dogfight due to our lack of resources on defense, and we all know from history that there will also be games when the offense doesn't show up and execute.

This team could literally go 11-5 or 5-11. We have to show up and ball-out every week just to have a chance....trap games are for teams that think they're too good for the opponent.
Hoping you are right.

This team just has a history of having a little success and then overblowing in the media what was successful like its that way going forward.

They relax and think they accomplished something only to lose it in the next game.

It's weird but it's how this team plays.

They need adversity to show up and they only seem to get it 50% of the time.

That's where all the 8-8 seasons came from.

It's their baseline.

12-4 was an aberration. It had as much to do with the Iggles being up by 2 games with 4 to play in 2014.

Only to lose and fall out of the playoffs.

4-12 was the pendulum swinging the other way. Adversity flatlined the team.

As Parcells used to say..

"you are what your record says you are".

So we will see.

If they eat it, they'll find it's just pasturized cheesefood. It's not real. I don't think they falter in the face of adversity, they're just severely undermanned on defense. The best effort out of the guys we have is just not enough sometimes.

Channeling our 3rd greatest coach Bill Parcells these days.

Like to see Garrett issue warnings to the players instead of the pablum he always does with smiles and claps.

This team needs him to lead and set the tempo and expectations instead of the passive resistance he uses.

More needs to be done if this flawed team is going to survive.

We are not going to be sneaking up on anybody and every team is going be out for us with all the injuries and suspensions.

The media is laying down a tale of whoa for the Bears and Cutlers injury..

its no time to relax.

Come on Garrett..

Anybody have any ideas here to get us to 2-1?
When TWill did not go out of bounds and left us with 4 seconds to kick a field goal, Garrett patted TWill on the back.
That encapsulates Garret's reign.
TWILL, HAD JIMMY JOHNSON OR PARCELLS BEEN COACH, WOULD HAVE NEVER GONE NEAR THOSE COACHES!

Other than that, we need to stop treating ANY team like patsies because we are patsies, too!

I get what you're saying, and I'm as much of a Debbie Downer as anyone on many team issues, but part of being a fan is getting carried away with things that really have no impact on our lives. It's an escape. I say fall in love with Dak and watch this multi-championship HOFer start from just a pup and grow into his legend.

Because he knew people would blame twill instead of him. Garrett knows it was his fault Dallas lost.

That is not reality, blokes!
Blimey! TWill lost the game. Garrett immediately let him off the hook with a literal pat on the back.


JG would be a great summer camp counselor. He is not NFL COACHING MATERIAL IN TEMPERMENT NOR IN GAME PLANNING .

As the Manster said down here in Corpus Christi, yesterday...can the media just get off the Prescott has the most consecutive non-interception passes for a 'rook!' He's going to throw one as sure as we are discussing Cowboys right now. He'll be fine, and we all really don't need that can of beans...
