Many of the people who defend Garrett have been here a long time, and were saying the same things about Zimmer's play calling back when Zimmer being too conservative was one of the issues.

I said 'reactionary' because it's fans reacting to teams not winning that gets them second guessing the play calling in the first place. When they win, coaches tend to call mostly the right plays. When they lose, it's the play calling, no matter how many drops or picks or fumbles or penalties had to happen to get there.

It's not the losses that has them second guessing the play calling. It's the play calling that has had a hand in those defeats that's the issue. Screens to Witten of all people; abandoning the running game when you've had a multi-TD lead in the second half; poor clock management; not finding a way to get your #1 WR the ball. We can go on and on and have discussed it here in great detail. These are not reactionary opinions. Many fans were Garrett supporters, as I was. But we're at year 10 of Garrett's offense and what, year 6 of him as a HC?

Also, Zimmer's D was pretty bad here as time went on. We saw players out of position, Ware covering receivers rather than rushing the passer.....just some head scratchers. I'm glad he's rebounded in Minny, but even Jerry didn't consider him when Parcells was out the door.
