thank god people like you don't call the shots.

the run play on both downs was a solid all. Garret can't force a back to stay in bounds. questioning those play calls says more about you then it does the coach!

That's called coaching. Situational awareness. Huddle Up "Guys, stay in bounds, the clock is our friend here."

We've seen Garrett for 5 years make the same basic clock mgmt mistakes at end of games and halves. He gets no benefit of the doubt. He didn't even act surprised or mad when DMac went out of bounds the first time or scored needlessly.

As usual he dodges the bullet though.

no, we have seen fans without commons sense make ridiculous claims for 5 long years.

Silly reply.

Garrett botches time and game mgmt way too often for an NFL head coach. You can throw out silly insults most of his mistakes are pointed out by fans when they happen not later.

But sure defend him with insults

I don't think your opinion is worth a damn

What it means is that we'll have a new OC, DC and ST coaches here next year, more than likely.

A lot of fans still love Garrett obviously. some of it is borne from blind loyalty, some from blaming Jerrah more, some from liking his speeches.

One day everyone will realize he is not a good HC. Sadly it will take years and years. Thankfully our owner is starting to get a little fed up finally

and you have no idea if that was or was not said.

so do you always argue from a position of ignorance?

Do you always argue from a position of anger where you name call? You said it isn't on coaching. I answered that coaching is part of it so he should have been instructed. You come back with a "who knows but you are ignorant." See how that went?

I had no problem with McFad going out of bounds on first down....he didn't go out of bounds on a play strung out...he picked up 8-9 yards...that's worth it.
I had no problem with scoring the TD when we did. Scoring a TD means you cannot lose on the next possession. Kneeling down and making the Skins use their timeouts and then kicking the FG means they don't have to score a TD.

So we kick a FG, we cut their time in half and use up their timeouts. Now the one horrible special teams play of the game--they had a great return and a penalty, so they're only one completion from kicking the tying FG and we're wondering why we didn't go for the win....worse, imagine another SpT meltdown like vs. NYG and a TD.

Worst that could happen was a great return, a penalty, and a long TD pass---all three happened, but thank goodness we had scored the TD and were only tied. And then we won the game...end of story.

Maybe another coach would have done it differently; maybe another RB would have picked up the first down and dropped at the 1 or 2. But this entire game we'd been playing a little outside the "play it safe" box, something we all complained about not doing all season. I have no problem with scoring the TD, taking a 7 point lead, and counting on the defense and kick off team to do their jobs...neither did...big surprise.

There is no excuse for going out of bounds.

You give yourself up after 7 yards.

If there is change then I believe that is the type of move it will be. That also buys Garrett at least 3 more years because evidently that is how long it takes for the Cowboys to process any bit of new information.

cowboyszone is held hostage by Jason Garrett right now.
