Horrific beginnings to games

[erod]

Truly disturbing trends the last four games.

Miami
New Orleans
Green Bay
NY Jets

In those games combined, the Cowboys have managed only one TD in the first half.

They've managed only 19 points in those four games before halftime.

And in a half plus, they've been outscored, 52-6 the past two games.

Horrible, horrible offensive starts.

No one is listening to the HC anymore. Going through the motions

Our Tight Ends are not doing the Job on offense jeez Cut them now!!!

This trend is a giant blinking arrow pointing directly at Garrett. It just screams of poor preparation.

Hey!!! One of you guys help unclench my fist so I can clap.

Not understanding the problem here...? Isn’t this what the Cowboys want? Mediocrity and disappointment?

 

[cowboyec]

one is an accident.
two is a trend.
three is a problem.

these slow,un-inspired,lifeless,listless starts are a problem.
don't know what the fix is.....but Id love to see them come out....and on-side kick......or a reverse on the return....or start in hurry-up/no-huddle.
something....ANYTHING....that gets them LOCKED IN AND JACKED-UP FROM THE START.

It’s the defenses fault!!!!!

I propose using an electric cattle prod. It has always worked well for making stubborn cattle come around to your way of thinking.

It is pretty telling that the scripted plays are the failures......

Sorry, this absolutely falls on the feet of the leader.

and since Jerry Jones can't be fired, Garrett is "next man up" (sweet, sweet irony). He's got to answer why this team has been such slow starters.

And this narrative that we "fight back" in the second half is totally laughable.

Teams run up a big lead on us in the first half and then start going conservative in the second half to bleed the clock and prevent quick scores. It allows us to come back, but we burn most of the second half doing it and that is why we just come up a little short as time expires.

JG's "clap" has lost its magical motivational powers. JG clapping like a lunatic isn't working anymore.

Wonder how many of those drives started with a run on 1st down?

 

[black label]

dak qb rating will save us

 

[StarBoyz83]

The offense has showed up 11 out of 24 quarters. Its unreal.

Not new. Garrett era # whatever for these little gems of beauty we’re all forced to admire. It’s his template. Det playoff game with Romo...same ugly constipated offense for a half. Saw a lot with Romo teams. I don’t know by how much it is right now,but that’s his little thumbprint alright, His signature on the canvas. A real piece of art. And he is an artist at creating the most elegant dumbfounded abstract losses I’ve ever seen on one team,during this whole time of NFL. Think about it...we make 62 yarders,but miss 40 and have some wacky goal line play to lose scenario where you’re all going ...”Why? What? Who?” He’ll defy any boundaries the game has pre set. Example : NYJ defense...53 red zone trips by teams for at least a FG..before Dallas did them a favor by showing up. That stuff is soooooo Garrett games.

Never forget his team went down 21-3 in a home playoff game. Home. Playoff. Game.
