Does anyone know who is actually calling the plays?

Does anyone know for sure?

Watching that last game was truly unbelievable that anyone with Pro Football experience was calling the plays...

Running up the middle on 1st down, every F'ing time - gets so freaking old! My god, that is when we should be passing, as the box is obviously loaded 8 and even 9 at times. (Zeke for 1, Zeke for 0, Zeke for -1, Zeke for 0 - that was our first 4 first downs)... Loosen them up, get them on their heels... then start running it down their throats... get Zeke some momentum. When he has momentum, he is unstoppable. When he gets shut down early, he loses confidence.

We passed on 1st down against the Rams (more often), then hand it to Zeke on 2nd, even 3rd down (then later when they didn't know what to expect, we hammer them with Zeke on 1st down... but to always have 2nd & long, 3rd & long in certain games gets old really quick. Why do we regress like THAT?! And to rarely use play action? W*F
The play call mix has you pulling your hair out? What in the H*** are they thinking?

How do you go from a near perfectly called game against the Rams, to whatever THAT was against the depleted Egirls practice squad?!

Shattered 2 remotes on Sunday. F***

But seriously, can anyone DEFINITELY say who has been calling the plays all season?

My 4 you old daughter.

You can't tell me Garrett hasn't had his hand around Kellen's throat for most of the year....yesterday on first down...screamed of us running play action....yet....it was a Garrett game plan to keep it close all the way. You can't convince me different. Everybody keeps saying...we run 2 different offenses....well duh. Garrett's outdated crap that we have run for 12 years...still manages to keep this offense down. Yet people will blame Kellen for being a rookie. Well...this rookie is leading the league in yardage w/ a broken down QB and WR....and a RB that is wearing down quickly.

Jason Garrett when asked what happened with the offense:

I believe the game plan is drawn up by Garrett and Kellen throwing darts at a huge board with all of their plays on it.

It wasn't Garrett. That dude was off in outer space the whole game.

My sentiments exactly... well put

an idiot who doesn't know what the hell they're doing.
Yes, half the time it feels like that... then half the time, genius creeps out (which leads to our #1 Offense / #7 Defense, and we have a losing record!!)... it's like they have a leash on K Moore. And when we face tough adversaries (teams with winning records), they tighten the reins and the gameplan goes basic/vanilla, and we suck... instead of trusting the talent and letting us run loose and play to our strengths... they go to the gameplan that all the DCs in the league know very well, and can obviously shut down with relative ease.

This! Exactly this! We came with the right “plan”. Attack a horribly weakened Eagle secondary. Our coaches did, uncharacteristically so, and our receivers were open all night. Unfortunately, they were overthrown, thrown behind, and 6 times chose to drop 6 beautiful passes all of which led to a farce of a passing game.
The “mistake” I suppose is not having a single coach on that sideline realize the passing game was off and say: “You know what JG/KM with our OL, Zeke, we can beat them with the run too. Let’s trust the ground game. Don’t give up on it just yet...”
It’s hard to be a fan when you keep feeling like you are getting provided proof week after week that there are fans in the forums that are wiser than the coaching staff, FO, etc.
Let alone what some of the talking heads in the media are saying...
:facepalm:
Hard to be a Die hard Fan these days but I still wore my silver and blue all day today. Had to. Made myself. But I did it. I love my team. But it’s hard...
good post, they had a plan to attack secondary, but as you say it was obvious early on that it wasnt working good, and dak and receivers were off.
And at one point they were getting big chunks with elliot, and then he took himself out, and they had 2 passes on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1, which was just crazy.

Had they just went run heavy they would have wore down eagle defense, and use pollard and EE .
But once jason has a plan he doesnt change it, even though I know sometimes you dont know what will work until your in the game. So then they
need the good common sense to change the plan. But they dont lol.

Your too emotionally involved, and this team under JG is just not a good team for that, they will always let you down.
Who calls the plays, all we really know is kellen calls them to dak.
But there are people in the booth, and my question for awhile now is why does JG carry the play sheets around in his pants???????
Every game they are in his pants, so what is up with that? does he sleep with them too?
He could call them to the booth especially run or pass, then the booth people call it to kellen.
Who knows, but it does seem like at times it is very different.

The thing that boggles my mind, is the game plans, how does a team that had 2 100 + yd runners 1 week decide hey lets not run much
the next game lets pass 44 times!!!!!!! Sure dak has 2 bum fingers, and now a shoulder injury but we cant run 2 weeks in a row!
It is insane the way this team is set up , and it shows in the game plans, and play calling.

Do they run or pass 44 times again against wash ?? who knows, I dont know what type of logic they are using.
Since dak is semi hurt, I would run the ball 40 times with the 2 rb's and mix in a few passes to Jarwin, yes I would be starting Jarwin lol.

Moore probably went heavy run against the Rams, because of Dak’s finger and wrist. And then he supposedly hurt his shoulder in the first quarter on a Clay Matthews tackle.

of course that benefited us, because we actually ran the ball.

Apoarently, they wanted to sell Dak to us again, so instead of running Zeke like mid 20s, they decided that throw like 44 times to watch Dak throw duds and lose to scrub defenses
