And now you understand why. What an absolute abortion of a game Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett called today. In my nearly 20 years as a fan I have NEVER seen an NFL team look more unprepared, unfocused and unmotivated. Dave Campo had his teams more ready to play than Wade and Garrett did today. I'm officially done with Jason Garrett, the guy was a flash in the pan who is either unwilling or unable to make quality in-game adjustments. Say all you want about execution, our offense rarely had a chance today because of playcalling. Once again, we decided to stop doing things that were working (running, screens) in favor of looking for the big play, even when it was clear it wasnt our day for downfield throws. The ultimate blame however lies with the head coach, who once again looked lost on the sidelines when things werent going his way. I don't know how people can keep defending him, nor do I understand why I was accosted for suggesting he still had to prove a lot after last week's win. The guy has done this everywhere he has been, he's in his 60s, and he isnt going to change. He is what he is, an average coach who gets too excited when things go his way, too down when things go wrong, and is completely relient on his player's skill level to get the job done. Wade Phillips rarely outcoaches people (Garrett never does) and yet people continue to defend him. Green Bay is a BAD football team. They lost to Tampa Bay by 10 points. They have the worst line in football. They were 4-4 without a win over a "good" team. And that team jsut kicked the **** out of us in every phase of the game.
Now, the blame does not lie entirely with the coaches here. Roy Williams...what else is there to say about this guy? He is worse than a wasted roster spot: He is a guy who hurts this team more often than he helps them. A couple of crucial drops today and the fumble on a huge pass play, a play in which he thought it would be fun to carry the ball like a loaf of bread in an attempt to gain 5 more yards. The guy is a very talented player who is as stupid as NFL players. He is clearly unwilling to improve his route running, his hands or his decision making and seems content to try and live on talent alone. That may have worked in college, but you're not at Texas anymore buddy. You're an NFL receiver and right now, you are just awful in every phase of the game.
Our offensive line was just atrocious today, we looked worse than the "worst" O-Line in the league. Zero blame lies with Romo in this one, he never had a damn chance, and when he had time he made plays. Probem was, they were either dropped or fumbled more often than not.
Penalties...Jesus Christ, it just isnt a Wade Phillips coached team without stupid ****ing penalties all game long. We are the sloppiest team in football, and that is directly related to coaching.
Like I said, I have faith in these players (outside of Roy Williams), but I still lack faith in this staff's ability to consistently put them in position to win. I know a certain few posters will come over here and call this undue negativity, hostile will run around all week playing the part of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf telling everyone that everything is ok and we will be just fine, and by next sunday most will show up expecting to see something different. It just baffles me how a guy who has done this EVERYWHERE HE HAS BEEN is still getting defended by a fanbase that has clearly accepted mediocrity. This is a serious problem that will cost us again down the stretch, as it always has and always will as long as he and Garrett are coaching here.
