2014 Groundhogs day goal

8-8 play for the division in week 17

 

[9of11]

Well....I can say this, the one who should not be named got his "SHOW"....LOL...

 

[Zman5]

Any quotes?

JG: "It was Romo's fault we didn't win. I called the play for him to be the starter but he checked out of it and got the surgery."

Cowboys 2-12 in week 17 since 2000.....wow

 

[Clove]

I wonder what this offense would look like with a young stud QB? I'm not being mean or funny, but think about it for a second. Austin was open on that slant, could have gone for 20 plus. Give Garrett a QB that's accurate and smart, then it's unstoppable. The problem is, his other deficiencies in coaching are glaring.

I think we didn't run enough but when we started gashing them they stacked the box with either a run blitz or just numbers in the box. Then they started stopping the run. You can run against that if you want but it is stupider to do that and hit the wall than it is to call out the passing. The defense is going to want to put the game on Orton's shoulders and they did. They just turned the ball over three times and didn't score TDs in the RZ. That's the tale of this game.

Well, what do we do. The Defence played above themselves but they are just over matched - plain and simple. Offence, tried hard despite the head coach and play calling. If Jerry was mad last year and demanded change, now what will he be. Can't continue this way - Garrett just can't coach in big moments. The RED HEADED IDIOT must go. He just must, I can't stand it if he is here next year .....

 

[Picksix]

As well as our defense played at times, we still gave up 137 yards on the ground and had a defensive passer rating if 124.

 

[Iron_Man]

If Kitna was QB, he would have been over 40 passes as well. Lets not kid ourselves...

I'm sorry but this in on Garrett! You don't have your backup QB throwing the ball 46 times! Especially when the defense played a pretty good game. I just can't believe there's still people defending him!

After we had a couple of negative runs, it wash pretty much a given that we were gonna go pass heavy.

We would have won the division with Rob Ryan

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Difference is Romo may have gotten us at least 6 when we kicked 3 FGs.

For the record, I wasn't ragging on Romo. It should be clear the problems run much deeper than quarterback.

 

[jobberone]

Orton was partially responsible for the first TD and wholly for the last one. You can only ask so much of a player who has been playing on the scout team all year and is a backup QB. The unit that I thought would let us down didn't. That old man played Philly better than anyone else this year and that's the number two offense in the league. And that's not because Kelly is so great. That's because they have the second best player in the league on their team.

 

[Muhast]

We ran on 3rd and 2 once and 3rd and 3 once. But yeah, easy to say we should have run on the 4th down.

Yea, what were the results of those? Just curious? B/c we didn't convert a single one of the 3rd and 4th and short passes

He is a loser, no debating that anymore...................it takes a special kind of stupid to call 46 pass plays for your backup QB.....................what at total idiot.................3 consecutive 8-8 seasons.............lets build of statue of him outside the stadium!!!

 

[jobberone]

Maybe. But Kiffin played one of the best offenses in the league and the defense won both of its games with the Eagles. The offense lost this game.

Garrett presser quotes:

Keep banging away
We'll learn from the experience
Put ourselves in position, but we didn't make plays
We've certainly made progress with this team
We're all accountable
We'll have to watch the tape
I'm proud to be part of the group
This team battles and overcomes adversities
Keep fighting and believing
Lot of obstacles to overcome, guys laid it on the line
Guys played through good things and bad things.

In other words, the same old recycled garbage. This man really has no clue. He and Jerry deserve each other. We all deserve better from this franchise.

 

[Tabascocat]

Clueless head coach presser alert on ESPN now....

I wanna hear from a drunk Jerry, not robotic Jason!

 

[DWhite Fan]

Really? This team played above their heads tonight.

No thanks to the coaching staff...

 

[Beast_from_East]

This game is on Garrett.................the defense played balls to the wall against one of the best offenses in the NFL.................Garrett just reverted back to the loser he is...................should have won this game if managed correctly.
