I know the forum has discussed this at to a fault but I have to say that after watching every play of that game again a bit ago I came away thinking that our defense was absolutely embarrassing.
Dak had a few bad throws, but watching all offensive possessions I still think he played more than well enough to win. The gameplan that we came out with offensively was just a recipe of failure against the defense the rams were running.
It felt like to me after watching it again that we didn't know how to adjust offensively, and it really felt like the offense was losing confidence watching the defense getting lit up for over 200 yards rushing.
Having said all of that, I really can't believe that this wasn't the moment that got Garrett fired! I'm still a little put off that Jerry had the never to bring him back another year after that performance. There is no doubt in mind that Jerry did what Jerry does best and that is make an emotional decision regarding the Freckled Puppet.
Since you just watched the game again:
Zeke took a hit in the 1st quarter of that game and was never same for the rest of the game. Sort of an awkward hit from the side that truly rocked him.
Also, the coaching staff had nothing to do with our inability to tackle. There was no finesse to the Rams running game, they just bowled us over.
Every playoff game in the NFL has a winner and a loser. That just wasn't our day against the Rams.
Besides, Garrett's gone now. Living in the past is not going to get you anywhere, especially given that your complaint is now gone.
