Game Day ***Cowboys vs Bills post game thread***

[Toruk_Makto]

So what's your point? I don't see that much difference. Eli and Cousins are mediocre and the others are awful. Hasselbeck and Bortles are mediocre and Mettenberger is still better than anything we have.

Ok. We'll have to agree to disagree on your ability to scout QBs.

And that's no even taking his time in Philly into account, where he won 6 division titles, went to 5 NFC Championship games and a Superbowl.

Yeah, he has never gotten over the hump and won a title, but to even remotely compare Garrett's career to Reid at this point is laughable.

I agree and I've always been a huge critic of Reid. Always felt he'd choke when it mattered but he at least competes for playoff spots regularly. He's a good coach.

 

[MRV52]

don't tell me you were rooting for us to win the year before Aikman came out?

YES

The love for Weeden is somewhat comical. He had his moments in Cleveland & Dallas as well, but those moments are fleeting...particularly against good teams/defenses, which the Titans certainly aren't...even less so minus Mariota.

Interestingly, the Titans were a team that made a coaching change and drafted a QB in the 1st round. Despite both, sometimes things just don't work out...at least right away. Currently, they have the worst record in the league.

Guys like Reid & Bowles inherited pretty good rosters. Ironically, Reid wore out his welcome in Philly & now the Chipster might as well. I like Reid though, and he's done a great job this season. Similarly, Rex Ryan wore out his welcome in NY despite making 3 AFC Championship games. Harbaugh had a great run in SF...but they were 8-8 in his final season and that roster was gutted by injuries & retirements, and further hindered by Kaepernick's regression.

Minus Romo...Garrett & Linehan are simply too conservative IMO. They play by the book too much. And yes, situational game management has often escaped Garrett. This has been the perfect storm in terms of a disaster of a season...but I don't blame everything on 1 or 2 people. So many things have contributed to it.

If they made a change to a Payton, etc...so be it. Jerry's gonna do whatever Jerry wants to do.

Jerry on Jason: "We’ve put a lot of effort into training Jason Garrett. I want to take advantage of that. If we don’t have him, we don’t get payback for all the miscues and losses and criticism of sideline management. You don’t get a chance to benefit from the one way you learn - and that is the mistakes you make. So i want to have him around. "

Thanks. That's my new sig.

YES

I always felt a little bad rooting against us that year because it was Coach Landry's last games. Didn't know it at the time but in the end it did work out for us.

Anyone that does not understand the implications of that quote (which this fan base has been living for 5+ years), well... I just don't know what to tell you. As an earlier poster said, the used car salesman has indeed called the jalopy a true lemon. Frightening. Not even ol Danny Snyder has a quote quite like this one.

Actually Bortles is very underrated and has that offense going pretty good with 2 very good and up and coming WR's. He is very much flying under the radar right now.

No, he just needs to collect his thoughts.

That's from 2013. I wonder if Jerry's stance has changed any since then. Probably not. Just more miscues and losses....

Agreed. After Romo he might be the best on that list.

 

[yimyammer]

YES

Well, Im sorry they got stuck with Aikman amigo, winning would have been so much better than having to settle for that scrub

 

[Novacek84]

No, he just needs to collect his thoughts.

We can only hope Jerry is finally fed up with this coaching training seminar and hires a legit NFL coach. He continues to not understand puppet head coaches do not work. Switzer only did because of the overwhelming pre free agency talent on the roster at the time. And then they slid badly when talent left.

Hopefully that means something other than he's too buzzed

This made me laugh. He has to be severely upset for this to happen. I don't recall the last time he skipped an opportunity to open up his mouth.

I didn't see any tv shots to his box during the game either. He's gone incognito

 

[unsportsmanlikeconduct]

And I don't know what the weather was like in Weeden's game, but I live near Buffalo, and it sure as heck wasn't conducive to throwing the ball.

Please don't add facts to the argument.

 

[Rockport]

Jets 4-12 last year, 10-5 this year.

One year turnaround for Todd Bowles.

Coaching matters.

So does a weak schedule.
