News: Garrett Wants Playoff Loss To “Fuel The Fire” For Team’s 2017 Motivation

[SlammedZero]

I've been a Garrett defender for a few years now but if we don't make something happen next year I will be the first to jump ship. I'm usually a cheerleader for consistency and longevity but we need to see results.

I do think the guy has an eye for talent though and I can see his gameplan, a good one, but he needs to show us something.

This young team did come back 18 points against Green Bay in the playoffs though. That does say something.

We've had plenty of playoff loss (es) to fuel the fire (s)

 

[MileyDancer]

Has he ever not? Why would you assume he doesn't?

I'm asking. I don't get the feeling he has.

A prepared and rested team that everyone knows was more talented playing at home should not have gone down 18 points

This team had everything, every single thing going for them and the HC could not parlay that into a win

He's made his share of mistakes, but I disagree that his teams have underperformed in his tenure as a whole.

I'd argue instead that fans aren't always realistic about how good their teams are or about how hard it is to get to the championship games at all.

So it wasn't "realistic" for fans of a team that had a week off, was playing at home, was completely healthy to win against a team that was tired, had played the week before, had traveled to play, was dealing with multiple multiple key injuries?

I'm used to your usual double talk but this post is utterly moronic

Yeah I get your point, but that Packers team were no slouches expecially with Rodgers playing like some QB god.

Make Garrett HC of the Packers and they lose this game

"The biggest thing you have to do is you have to learn from your experiences,” Garrett said

This is spoken by the coward that was around for 2007 and followed that same scared approach to the same result in 2016.

If he truly wants to address why his team isn't still playing he needs to conduct this speech into a mirror.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

"Fuel the Fire"? They should "Fire the Fool".

I don't agree, but that's a good one.

 

[plasticman]

Okay, Im back. I just don't know if Im ready to watch football again, though. That loss really hurt. You would think that I would be able to deal with it better after 46 seasons, but damm!

I really felt the Cowboys were the bettter team but Rodgers makes an impossible throw, Cook makes an improbable catch and the season is over.

How many times now, three Super Bowls losses, all by 4 points or less, the "Catch" game, the 94 NFC championship loss, the Romo field goal fumble against Seattle, the Non-catch in 2014 and now this, I wont lie, it hurts but I can't do this to my family any longer, its lije my best friend paased away.

The closer you get, the more it hurts if you can't finish......damm!

Garrett wouldn't be HC on any other Club. He is only in Dallas because the Owner/GM can control and coach through him. He is an NFL coaching Flyweight. Too bad. This club was rvety bit as good as Green Bay. His decisions killed the clubs chances.

He's still in training

Wonderful, another teaching lesson. From inspirational NY speeches to field trips at Duke........they are not working Jason once you reach the post-season. I got one, have the team ready to play from the start and maybe they won't have to come back from deficits. That should reduce the number of those teaching moments

 

[TheCount]

Oh, is that what he's been doing since 2007? Stoking the fire with loses?

 

[Everson24]

Finishthefight, finishthisfight, FueltheFire, Wedidntstartthefire. Stop with the slogans. New slogan same ****. Its not motivation dude. The team just needs to be better, especially in his department. I just don't think he'll ever have it. He's been "learning on the job" for sometime now and he makes the same poor clock management mistakes that cost us big games. I won't be surprised when I see fuelthefire shirts next year. The players are motivated to win. If it came down to just motivation to winning a championship we'd be there. The remember this feeling stuff isn't going to make our D better.

If he doesn't have any postseason success soon it will all just become white noise. These players will soon lose confidence that we have the right guy to lead them against the best in the NFC.

De ja vu, Garrett wants playoff loss loss to fuel fire for 2015 season. Drop a pair and challenge yourself and your coordinators. Spin master needs to go into politics.

Nah. I think he tried in 2015 to act like it was a new year and last year didn't matter. I think that was a huge mistake. He should've used the way 2014 ended with dez's catch as fuel for 2015.

Glad to see him using it to drive them in 2017

Teams in the NFC with the longest championship game appearance droughts:

Commanders: 25 years

Lions: 25 years

Cowboys: 21 years

Every other team in the NFC has been to an NFCCG since the turn of the century with the exception of the above 3 teams.

We all know its hard. But...................damn.

this season is a bust. you cannot have the best record in the NFC....and fail to win a playoff game.

Only for a strong fan...and thanks for sharing. Had some of the same, here.

If you had credibility your assessment of the post would carry weight, but it doesn't. All you do is make up statements that can't be proven and throw turds at other posters.

To your point though, this was probably the first team we've had that was favored to win its playoff game and didn't under Garrett. And we weren't favored by much. You're trying to make it sound like GB didn't have a legitimate shot to advance, but they obviously did.

I do think we were out coached in places in that game. The substitutions were an obvious mistake. Getting Lee so far downfield in coverage was a mistake. Like most games, there are plays and decisions you'd like to have back. That's not an argument for firing the coach that got you where he's gotten us.

All you guys have complained each step of the way as the team has gotten better. First we couldn't draft OLs. Then we couldn't draft overall. Then we couldn't get over .500, then we couldn't develop a QB with the staff on the roster. Now we can't win playoff games. It's all noisemaking as far as I'm concerned. Meanwhile, the team gets better, the coach gets extended, wins the coach of the year award, and I'm stuck listening to you demonstrate ironically that you don't understand what utterly moronic actually means.
