If Dallas loses against Philly, it will be because of injuries. However it should have not come to this as Dallas should have beaten Greenbay and continued running them into the ground. The lack of running is all on Garrett and he should be held accountable if Dallas doesn't pull off the upset on Sunday night.

We did run the ball in the 3rd and it would have been even more balanced had Murray caught the swing pass.

They ran 7 times against green bay in the entire 2nd half. Inexusable anyway you slice it. Garrett is not responsible for the defense blowing but he should have killed as much clock as possible. Running 14 times would have mean Green Bay would have had less time and therefore at least 1 less possession, plus Dallas was still averaging 7 yards a carry.

Garrett hasn't shown enough to warrant keeping the job. Progress is measured by wins and losses not by has he churned the roster, or RKG, because it's meaning less if those roster changes didn't produce results. This defense has suffered many injuries and made it difficult to win games, but we lost too many games by coaching decisions, not just this year but throughout his entire tenure. He seems to make the same mistakes repeatedly, refuses to learn from them. We are 1-3 in 1point games this year, we tied an NFL record for most 1pt. losses in a season. He had the play-calling duties stripped from him because he struggles with situational football. The Green Bay game exemplified these problems. Everyone but JG took blame for the plays down the stretch, but ultimately it's the HC's responsibility to put the team in position to win that game.

In the Green Bay game, the OL was blocking well and getting push all day, just because they stacked the box doesn't mean we wouldn't get positive yardage on the play, maybe even break one with so many defenders so close to the LOS.

From 1:04 of the third quarter until Romo's interception with 2:58 left, the Cowboys dropped back to pass on 14 of 15 plays, while never leading by fewer than five points.

Murray gained at least 4 yards on 14 of his 18 carries and had four runs of 10 yards or more. Murray's only negative run occurred on his fourth carry of the game.

Garrett simply wasn't ready for the job and his negatives far outweigh his positives. While Jerry places a value on moral victories the NFL does not and Garrett simply has not produced results.

No, they're not. They are playing with their previous #2 QB that they wanted to retain but got paid too much as a free agent. He was available because he was not a fit for Seattle's or Oakland's offense.



Fair enough. I just keep hearing he was at home, not in the NFL....??? But, If that's right, my apologies...

Point is. These other teams....they go through injuries too, And, Unless it's at the QB position....should not be used as any kind of leverage or anything to make people "understand" and accept losing.

No. Injuries have been going on a long long time now.....it's part of the NFL LANDSCSPE.....and the smart GMs and franchise and coaches.......handle it better then the ....DUMB ones....

Better drafts.

By what measure? The Cowboys record has stagnated under Garrett, and they haven't made the playoffs in four years. It's not like they're filling out Pro Bowl rosters either. Predictably, your defense of the Cowboys record under Garrett is going to be, "But, injuries!", but this defense creates as many problems for your argument as it solves because it compels the following question: If the talent Garrett has amassed is injured all the time, how do we know the drafts are any better?

Wins after those improbable losses.

So the fact that the Cowboys don't lose every game in improbably fashion is evidence that Garrett is a good coach? Fascinating.

Players playing hard through adversity.

Like what?

The entire Josh Brent ordeal.

How so?

Maintaining a non-losing record through two years of unbelievable numbers of injuries gutting our defense.

The Cowboys have been .500 regardless of injury situation. They were .500 in 2011 when the injury situation was relatively fortuitous. They were .500 in 2012 before all the injuries hit towards the middle of the season. So, once again, we're left with no evidence that Garrett is a good coach.

Yeah the scheme that has our offense 3rd in points, 9th in YPP and 3rd in red zone TD % up nearly 20% from 2012.

Ridiculous.

Dez, Williams, Fredrick and Smith ring a bell?

Players don't play hard for bad coaches, they don't fight regardless of score, they don't bounce back after a loss.

But it is no use. Nothing will ever change.

I am bored with the nonsense.

Gonna decide if I want to go out with a bang...or just go away and take actual football knowledge with me...because there sure as hell is not much left on this forum.

DO PEOPLE REALIZE

...that if not for Garrett, Romo and others are being rest for two weeks as we would have had a first round bye? Think of it this way:

* Garrett is responsible for us being 8-7 with a chance for the playoffs
* Garrett is responsible for us being 8-7 with a chance to miss the playoffs


either way, because of Garrett, we are in a WOGH game...I choose to believe that he has cost us an opportunity to have a much better record

And even if it wasn't always his fault, or that JJ meddles or he didn't get to pick asst coaches, or he hasn't called he plays.......it doesn't matter....

He is the head coach. He allowed himself to be hired into this situation. And the buck stops with him. Althoug we know its JJ. Garret is responsible for ......himself. The buck stops with the head coach, it can be no other way.

Agree we should have ground gb into a pulp , but even with a w in that game we are still tied with Philly.... Now if you throw in the debacle in Detroit.... Well then this thing is wrapped up and we are resting romo this wk and have a Shot for him and lee back for the playoffs. We do things the hard way ..,,smh

I'm guessing you're prepping all of us in case Garrett gets fired. We've seen this martyr routine before do it's nothing new around here.

The Patriots lost both their star TEs, olinemen, WRs for stretches, their NT and their top LB and DB and yet are a top team in their division again

Injury excuses stink. Especially when this same excuse was used last year despite having a losing record with Sean Lee and many others IN games. This team isn't good with or without starters which mean the GM and coaches aren't doing their jobs and that someone on the training staff is bad at conditioning.

Do you realize his nonexistent game management skills have singlehandedly cost this team at least 2 games this year and at least 5 or 6 over the last 3 seasons? We would already have the division locked up with at least a coach with basic game management skills.

The Garrett fanboys (all 3 of them) will ignore this fact like the plague.

Tell me when they have to play 26 different players in their front 7 and we will see if they stay a top team.
