Crazy stat! Games given up with a large lead

[Derinyar]

Part is the HC, the other part is not having talent available.

Trading multiple high draft picks for a weak CB. Overpaying for another weak CB. Wasting ANOTHER 2nd round pick on a TE who we don't use. Wasting multiple 2nd round picks on injured players because of their supposed "value".

Great work by the GM. Always hits the mark.

The problem with the argument of not having the talent is this. So the talent on the team is good enough to get the team to a position where it should win the game over 95% of the time but it's not good enough to close it out. If you want to argue about talent and drafting its a valid argument, but not on this specific topic. This is just saying we were in the situation where a team should almost never lose this, and we've lost more then double of any other team in the league. That's the HC not understanding how to close out a game.

The Cowboys are 1-2 this season when scoring at least 35 points. The rest of the NFL is a combined 51-2.

These guys are playing the bookmakers. I'm telling you.

"NFL has only blown 3 home leads of this size since 1999. 3 times, of which the Cowboys have authored 2 of the 3 with Jason Garrett and Tony Romo at the helm. That's right. The Cowboys have done it twice in the last 3 seasons with this loss and the home loss to Detroit back in 2011 (when they enjoyed a 27-3 lead early in the 3rd Quarter before ultimately losing)." by bob sturm

My response:
In 30+ years of watching football, I have never seen anything like this. The munsters meets twilight zone is best way for me to discribe it. Unless Jerry has a sick and twisted demeanor (which might totally be plausible) something drastic needs to go down and I am not only talking about HC change.

How is Jerry jones the blame for this?

So he's a good enough GM to give you a 90% winning probabilty but he's not quite good enough to seal the deal?

A lot of these losses rest at the feet of the immortal signal caller.

Did Jerry blow the jets and lions game in 11? Don't think so

His defense is atrocious this season so he has to take some blame for this season blunders, but Jerry jones wasn't the one who neglected to take advantage of the gifts the defense gave to the offense in Detroit. Take a damn knee at the end and we win the damn game! That's not on Jerry.

These players have it easy. Know matter what, blame Jerry.

Couldn´t have said it better myself, this is entirely on the HC, the talent excuse doesn´t work on this matter or in any other IMO but that´s another discussion.
Garrett flat out sucks.

Please. We should be 3-11. We've only gotten this far because our division is so awful.

We're a bad team. It's easier once you accept that.

Probably true. Look at it this way:

We're 7-7. We're 4-0 against the NFC East. We went 1-3 against the AFC West and NFC North (beating only the Raiders and Vikings). And we beat the Rams. Those are ALL our wins this season. None of them impress me. And only about 2 of them were impressive wins (Rams and Eagles). Yesterday was looking like the most impressive win of the season when we were up 26-3 at the half...

garrett sucks...romo isnt playing as well as hes getting credit for this year - which is funny - bc when he was playing far better he was getting much less credit from the national media...the defense is talentless...that covers it all

At least the Giants are going to get a decent Draft Choice......not to mention the 2 SBs since....19...90....5.
