the anti-Garrett contingent is largely writing off 2009 in January.

I mean seriously, why watch or follow the team then?

I watched when Campo was coaching and I knew the likely outcome, why would I stop now?

homers should ask themselves...

why is there and "anti garrett contingent"

it's not like anyone WANTS to dislike him you know.

When the offense was healthy, the offense looked fine IMO. I think Garrett definitely screwed up the first Washington game, but other than I think it is hard to lay all the problems at Garrett's feet.

This should be the thinking mans conclusion. Garrett has a responsibility to get the most out of this offense, and I don't think he did, so he does own his share of the problems. But Garrett is hardly the only person on this team not performing up to expectations, from the tip top of the organization on down. And while I suppose it's possible he isn't up to the task, the evidence is just as weighty that he will be. Not everyone wakes up after their second season rolling away the stone and ascending into heaven...

I think he got completely solved midway through the season. I mean when the other team is sounding off how simple your offense is, much less your own players (even if one is TO), there is probably something to it. Even Jerry alluded to a lack of creativity after the season.

I can chalk it up to inexperience, but one has to ask themselves why we are letting someone learn on the job when we only have a limited window with some of the talent we have? This isn't a rebuilding team.

He may have all the potential in the world, I have no idea. But we seem to banking an awful lot on it.

Maybe because we are Dallas Cowboys fans? Did that ever run through your mind?

The "thinking man" would QB sneak on inches to go plays rather than fail twice in a row calling lower percentage plays that we hadn't practised all year.

The Ravens certainly did not look like they had an answer for our offense when Romo woke up in the 4th.

The Giants the week before certainly did not have the offense solved.

The Steelers did not have it solved until Romo took a mental vacation.

The Seahwaks certainly did not have it solved.

Ditto the 49ers.

You can say the Eagles solved the offense, but I am going to alledge the team did not hear the whistle blow. I dont think that whippin was on offensive creativity.

For vindication purposes, silly.

There is a faction of fans who find some sort of validation in critizing how other fans choose to react to bad play and losses. Its the first thing they do after a bad game. Rather than vent on the team for failing, they vent on the fans that show any kind of unhappiness over losses.

Why do they do it? I really don't know. It may be an inferiority complex. Maybe they have some sort of self entitlement to exclusive Cowboys fandom? Who knows.

No argument from me brother, I am on record as being entirely pissed at his tendency to get cutesy on short yardage... but it seems either he carries the sins of the world, or is without sin - I want him to be held accountable for the offensive production on this team, nothing more. Last year was wanting, flaws are there, and we expect better. I don't think it's unreasonable to think he can do better. Because if not, we can do better...

There exists a faction of fans that relish in the teams failures just so they can say "I told you so".

I am critical of the team, but I won't cry woe is me and the 2009 season is essentially over when FA hasn't even begun.

Nicely done, sir. Very good post.


Why I think they do it. They think they are better fans for it.

King of the reactionary bunch right here.

Just speaking for myself, I just get sick of the crap the "venters" spew.

Half the stuff they don't mean, so I don't know we have to be subjected to it. A little maturity in the face of disappointment would help.

The Ravens certainly did not look like they had an answer for our offense when Romo woke up in the 4th.

When Romo went no huddle and play calls were based more on Romo's pre-snap reads.

The Giants the week before certainly did not have the offense solved.

That was the week Plax had his incident, but more importantly the Giant offense was terrible. 20 points is nothing special when 7 were a late run on a worn down Giants D.

The Steelers did not have it solved until Romo took a mental vacation.

That 13 point explosion was impressive.

The Seahwaks certainly did not have it solved.

I'm glad we could roll on a 4 win team.

Ditto the 49ers.

The same team who decided single coverage on TO was a good idea?

You can say the Eagles solved the offense, but I am going to alledge the team did not hear the whistle blow. I dont think that whippin was on offensive creativity.

Agreed

I love how the anti-Wade contingent is writing off the season.

Which means about 90% of fans are.

Me, I think we have a pretty good team and I'll count the days until training camp starts.
