Garrett's Game Awareness

[WPBCowboysFan]

Gotta give the guy credit going for it on 4th downs, but man that timeout after Witten's catch near the end of the 1st half was a huge mistake. You just gotta know on a generous spot like that you get the next play off quickly. No need whatsoever for that timeout in that situation. Instead of 3 or 7 pts we give the ball back and GB goes and gets 3 pts. As soon as he called that timeout I knew that would come back to haunt us. We were in the driver seat and that timeout changed the whole game.

3rd and 1 shouldve been a run

Garrett kind of reverted back to his old self a little bit in this game. The poor clock management at the end of the half. Not running the ball on 3rd and 1 which wasn't his fault totally but still a bad call.

3rd and 1 shouldve been a run

Yep that too

The problem wasn't calling a time out. The problem was the play call on 3rd and 1.

I disagree. You had a 1st down. New set of downs. Game awareness IMO says you DO NOT call a timeout and give them time to review it.

The stuff where Romo lets clock tick down to one has to go.

Eh...whatever. Great year from Garrett and his staff. Now go get us some more quality players to continue improving this team.

 

[Tabascocat]

the 4th and 2 on our last drive was a stupid call. There is too much that can go wrong on that. It is not like it was 4th and 12 or something.

I liked going for it but there are many other favorable plays to call there when only needing 2 lousy yards. That was a do or die play and we died whether it was a catch or not. They needed a new set of downs, not going for it all IMO.

You guys are funny!

 

[camelboy]

I was gonna create a thread for you Garret haters to have their go…I knew from day one, no matter what, you will come out of your holes after being silenced for months

 

[d_dub88]

Any coach would have called a TO there,

 

[zrinkill]

Eh...whatever. Great year from Garrett and his staff. Now go get us some more quality players to continue improving this team.

This ........... funny how all these gloom and doomers where hard core fight guys last week.

We lost the game to a good team because of some bad breaks and calls.

No use crying about it ...... just regroup and do better next year.

Just stop, this is silly. No one at home was thinking that until after it happened. And they still could have reviewed it even if they hurried. Hindsight is 20/20.

45 yards is not a long field goal. If you want to blame someone, blame LP for the false start.

 

[Cowboyz88]

Give me a break.

He thought we had a first down and was saving time for a score. Geez, the timeout was called the second the play was over, so he didn't have the ability to see the replay or the luxury to think it over.

99.99% of the time, it's the right call.

Your .01% hindsight is prefect.

That did not decide the game. I blame Demarco for his fumble that could have been a TD!

Not necessarily true. You can't say we had the 1st down. You don't know that the refs upstairs wouldn't have stopped the game for review. Again, the problem was the play we ran on 3rd down. Run the ball!!!

Nope, he should've known the play was going to get a booth review likely.............get up an get a play off if possible, if not make them review it from the booth and before GBay could get their heavies in on short yardage.......
