Answer the QUESTION, folks:
When did we enter the playoffs with superior personnel? When have the coaches had the most premium talent?

Your post and question makes no sense.

You answer your own question. You can’t have it both ways.

You want to say coaching is good but have no talent. When in fact the coaches has lost us more games than the lack of talent.

In the past 3 NFL seasons here are the NFC leaders in wins:

Cowboys 29
Saints 28
Vikings 27
Rams 26
Seahawks 26
Eagles 26
Falcons 25
Panthers 23
Packers 23

Winning is HARD. And not a single team in the NFC has been better in recent years in consistently winning games than the team Garrett, Linehan and Marinelli are coaching. Not one team.

And what do these coaches get in return for their accomplishments? Endless scorn, derision, personal attacks from embarrassing fools.

It really is cringe-worthy to hear some of you rant like children.
Lol I'll just stick with each teams current coaching era.

Cowboys - 2 playoff appearances with 1 win(1-2) and no nfc championship game.

Saints- 7-5 in the playoffs with a SUPER BOWL.

Vikings- 1-2 with a nfc championship appearance

Rams- 0-1 and the coach just started last year and is responsible for 22 of those 26 wins on just a year and half. Lol

Hawks- 8-5 with 2 super bowl appearances and 1 win.

Eagles- 3-0 and a super bowl win .

Falcons- 3-2 and a super bowl appearance.

Panthers - 3-4 with a super bowl appearance

Packers - 10-8, 4 nfc championship appearances and a super bowl win. And thus dude just got fired after just being in the nfc championship game in 2016.

If you visit other team forums you'll see a lot of these coaches take heat from the fan base just like ours do and all but 1 one have accomplished more than JG has and that one is only on his 2nd year. Lol

I understand why you want to dodge the question. The question was as simple as a razor blade.

When have the coaches under-achieved, based on talent?

We can easily point to 2016 when the team overwhelmingly out-performed it's talent. That squad had no business going 13-3 (which they did) and no business pushing deep in the playoffs (which they almost pulled off). A rookie 4th round backup QB thrust into the starting job two weeks before the season!? That was no less than an epic coaching performance that year.

List for us the playoff wins totals for the last three years.

Further, of that list you posted, how many teams have had the same coach for 8 seasons and only 2 playoff appearances?

There have certainly been some game management issues and overly conservative things we can criticize, but if we were forced to give the coaches a grade right now, no reasonable person could suggest a grade below B-. There's an argument the grade should be an A-.

This year the coaches were challenged with:
-A mediocre QB who could be inaccurate, indecisive and flat averse to throwing the ball down field
-A patchwork offensive line
-What all the pundits described as the weakest set of play-makers in the NFL

Then...against all odds they got this team to gel after all appeared dead. That doesn't happen without strong locker room leadership...and some X'n O's moxie.

There is nothing to answer as it makes no sense.
You are trying to justify the lack of playoff success.

You can’t.

Most wins in the NFC over a 3-year span = mediocrity. Got it. :rolleyes:

You're more than welcome to celebrate your regular season championship. More power to you. By the way, have you realized that Lombardi's and super bowl rings will never be passed out to the regular season champions?

Yeah, I posted something like that once T-RO. The natives got restless and nearly burned down my hut. Well, in the past 3 seasons the Eaglets fans did get a SB. The others are all sniffin the Patriot dog pee.Try this one, 45 wins over the past 5. What does that list look like, and that takes in the abysmal 4-12 season where JG could not possibly be held accountable for losing a starting QB in game 3. Well, he could but that would be nurtz!

A predictable attack-the-messenger post, when people are at a loss to compose a counter-argument. Tells me you got nothing.
I bet your Jason's mom. That's way defensive of you. It's to be from all that pent up anger about Jason being hired as the OC and not doing anything in Miami and then having relied on Romo all these years to make a crappy team somewhat competitive. Do you have red hair? Does he get his clapping from you?

I have to admit Garrett is the MASTER of saving his own butt. Seriously thats not a shot at him. He has had teams literally put him on the edge of his coaching career here and hes always managed to claw his way back. There's something to be said for that. His message has apparently not gone stale either, the team still buys in.

When has this coaching staff had the talent to make a deep playoff run? Walk us through it, please.

Until recently we had Sean Lee on defense and little else. During most of the Romo years we had very little skill up-front to block for him. And these coaches must deal with Jerry's antics and undermining of authority.


Romo, Dez, Murray, Witten, Ware. How much more do you need?

It’s really cringe worthy to read this post. What’s our playoff record the last 21 years? Nuff said.

I understand the point the OP is making, but the Cowboys' storied history is built on playoff success and Super Bowls.

Winning a lot in the regular season is fun. Watching other teams get rings every year for the past 22 seasons? Not as much.

Maybe a defense not ranked near the bottom...

It was Lee and a bunch of nobodies...we all know it. Our starting D-ends that year were Jeremy Mincey and George Selvie, LOL.

Ah...then that year Lee was out for the season!
