Lost by one point to a two-time Super Bowl winner with a rookie QB.

If Dez and Beasley don't choke on touchdown catches.......?

Is that Garrett's fault?

Given the majority of NFL games are decided by one score or less and it's year six of his regime and he has all of one playoff appearance, yes. He does start bearing some of the blame for circumstances in which he finds himself.

Oh, and that two-time Super Bowl winner has a rookie head coach and hasn't made the playoffs in four years.

Jerry could hang some tarps over the openings . He had to have those end zones open for his Party Pass tickets.

There doesn't appear to have been enough room with the major side street( Randol Mill Rd) to have built it the other direction. I'm sure that would have cost Jerry millions more in eminent domain . He was already sued by a few residents in that area.

True, and Dallas started a rookie QB and two vet receivers choked. Dallas should have won, but it wasn't on Garrett. It was on Dez and Beasley and a defense that failed against the run late. And Williams possibly, although that would have been a long field goal.
I agree it wasn't on Garrett. I just thought it was odd to present NY as 2 time SB Champions. Not much left from that team besides Eli and Pierre.

I beg to differ. The Dolphins stadium does.
Texas Stadium did as well although it came from the roof as it was not built in the same direction.
If you recall Tv cameras even struggled with the glare. And we stuck the visiting team on sunny side so they'd bake in the heat. It was considered a home field advantage .

And they have end zone seating to block the low sun. Dallas doesn't. No other stadium has a situation where a receiver looks back toward the QB and is looking directly into the sun.

Tired of this stadium...the hole in the roof that is open once every two years is also pointless.

DAL has curtains.......they aren't allowed to open and close them after the game starts.....they either have to stay opened or stay closed

I can't believe JG chose that side of the field for the 4th quarter....and he calls out TWill........do they practice the coin flip repeatedly?

Im not one of these guys that blames everything on one or two players or coaches. But the offense was conservative and check down and Dez once again was taken out of the game all too easily. And I think saw one designed run for Dak on Sunday. Much more creativity and open play book in preseason then we saw last night. NOT ONE screen pass. For that mess, yah, I blame Garrett. Cant blame him for the defense.

I also think multiple receivers wasting time and staying in bounds has to be some kind of reflection on Garrett. Stupid players, stupid coach.

Then you watch the Steelers last night and they change receivers nearly every year and Bell is out. EVERYONE in the building knows the ball is going to Antonio Brown. And the Commanders have that great corner they signed away from Carolina. Yet they move Brown all the around all over the place and make sure he isnt on the corner all the time.

Just watch next week when Dez is lined up play after play on Josh Norman.

They ran a couple screens that were blown up.

You see dumb mistakes by players all over the league all the time.

Brown is a football Einstein compared to Dez.

Ultimately, Dak throws the ball where he decides to. Lineman calls it, but the QB audibles and throws it. Roethlisberger, like Romo, audibles to what he wants.

Seasoned QBs are basically their own offensive coordinators.

So what does Garrett do here?

Why do you continue to defend the guy at every turn? Does he do anything wrong?

He is 1-12 with backup QB's the last two years. Does that bother you? Does any of that reflect in Garrett? What are we going to do if Romo never plays again or one more year? Should we even expect Garrett to win anymore?

NE can go into Arizona the first week and play well enough to win without Tom Brady and Gronk? Why shouldnt we expect the same from our head coach?

When are you guys going to learn. Jerry is all about the show and who wins is not
all that important as long as the Benjamins keep rolling in. The Star is his latest
masterpiece and the dough just keeps on piling up.

I'm actually not defending him. I just know that coaches are castrated the minute they take this job, so the alternatives are worse than him. He at least has some say, and players believe in him so it's the best were cam hope for.

Jerry doesn't pay coaches because he doesn't want to empower them.

That's just our reality. Garrett understands how to work Jerry, and he's close with Stephen. I have no doubt they plan in the background how to manage around Jerry.

Everything you just said has nothing to do with actually being a good football coach. He is likeable and he kisses Jerry's butt.

And its pretty sad you think he is the best that we can hope for. Which also has nothing to do with the fact that he is a terrible football coach.

He's a good manager of men. That is critical. He needs a defense, and we're a year away from that. I do question his clock management at times. I appreciate his youth commitment.

And we were cheering Linehan two years ago, when all he did was run the ball more.
Romo calls the plays, just like other elite quarterbacks do. A healthy Romo solves many ills.

I'm just giddy that we have Dak to develop. The future looks good now after Romo. It looked awful before.

Good manager of men? Who cares? So he should be the head of the union or something or be a foreman. But he stinks as a football coach. AS an offensive mind he is nothing but a copy cat with no feel for the game.

I want a REAL football mind running the team. Big deal he gets the players to like him while they lose. LOL

:facepalm:

Linehan is running the offense. Jimmy never called a play.

Again, your alternative is Houston Nutt or the ghost of Joe Avezanno. Careful what you wish for.

Linehan runs the game plan that Garrett tells him to run. Its Garrett's, general offense and general conservative nature. We have seen it time and time again.

Linehan had Calvin Johnson all over the place and in motion so no one could do to him what they are doing to Dez.
