I think Mike Zimmer comes back

[Rayman70]

Please no. He's too dated.

I think he's back next year. Despite the breakdowns ,despite all the points conceded,

Don' know who the HC will be (it won't be Belichick) so whoever it is will be 'asked' to work with Mike.

Doubt it

I think it makes sense to give Zimmer time to work with more Zimmer guys.

But also, I want the new coach to have total control over the staff.

So they tried to run a balanced offense and ended up dropping him back and running him a bunch to protect him? He threw the ball 38 times and ran the ball 7 times out of 67 plays. Thats not protecting him.

In the first half, and protecting him means not forcing to come out throwing, has nothing to do with him running. Late in the second half he was forced to throw.

I do remember, in the offseason/preseason ppl saying it takes a chunk of the season for defenders to get comfortable in Zim's scheme...we might be witnessing them gelling.

New HC picks the DC

Not on Jerry’s dime. Jerry the GM picks the staff and force feeds them to the new HC. Why any coach would want to coach here is beyond me.

The Cowboys need a fresh start next year. Hire a new HC and let him decide who stays.

Both our special teams screwed the pooch. They were just worse. Or should I say, more costly. I saw the last missed PAT. I saw that snap being picked up off the turf. I saw it coming.

I played WR most of my life. But I loved kicking FGs. I can tell you it is very difficult kicking a ball when you don't see where it is. When he swung his foot, the ball wasn't upright yet. These professional kickers can do it more often than not. But it is still hard.

With no rush and the ball spotted, kicking a FG is easy. With a snap and rush it gets 10 times harder. If you have to kick a FG where you think the ball is going to be, 10 times harder still.

I agree, the problem with that last kick wasn't the kicker, but the snap and catch and placement, that came late. if it was a round ball, maybe different, but an oval football, placement is very very important.
