We would be 7-0 right now with Jimmy Johnson calling the shots.

We would have stepped on the Commanders... would have been up 28-0 rather than 13-0 (their last minute heroics would not have happened, or would have been irrelevant)

Oakland (we would have scored 1st and goal at the 2)

Today... is there any doubt Jimmy would come away from 1st and goal inside the 10 TWICE with more than 3 points?! WhoTF runs it 6 times in that situation?! :bang2:

Now we go from the driver's seat in the NFC east to the cellar.

Granted we need a kicker, but again, Jimmy would not have a 'Cortez' type kicker (and whoever the $&%# snapper we have) controlling our kicking game (if you can call it a kicking game).

You will get hammered by many for this post, but I am sorry Jimmy is a better game day coach than BP.

that Jimmy played to WIN and Tuna plays not to lose! I'm sick of it! We had EVERY opportunity to put this game away and didn't!

No, the biggest difference between the two coaches is Tuinei, Gogan, Stepnoski, Newton, and Williams.

Jimmy would have turned a few draft picks into stars too

Miami says hello.

Again, Jimmy with the SAME TALENT as Bill HAS with this team... we are 7-0.

Miami is irrelevant. Mediocre talent when he coached there 96-99.

Raise your hand if you didn't cringe with the 6 running plays called when we had 1st and goal TWICE inside the 10, and didn't wish we had someone like Jimmy calling the plays. Then hammer away.

Football was fun once, wasn't it? 1990 NYG hold on for your life, 3 downs and punt 'football' is not. ie. 7-3 nailbiters (when we should be up 17 or 21-3) when we are dominating Defensively.

I don't get it. We're super-aggressive against good teams like SD and Philly, but we're unbelievably conservative against Washington and Seattle.

I dunno... Wouldn't it be Norv Turner you want when it comes to offensive playcalling?

We didn't run it six times in the goal to go situations, we ran it four, one was a sack and one Bledsoe was running for life, not sure if design run but I doubt it.

Exactly.

Not to mention:

Aikman > Bledsoe

Emmitt > Barber, JuJo, TT, or A-Train

Moose > Polite

Irvin > Key, Glenn, PRice, or Crayton

Novacek = Witten. The only equal talent on our offense we have compared to the Jimmy teams.



Yeah, when you have far superior talent you SHOULD do better on gameday.

We weren't conservative vs Wash and Seattle.

1. Washington's defense is better then any we've faced all year. You're production usually drops a bit when you face better defenses.

2. We simply didn't execute vs the Seahawks. And when we called "aggressive" plays they usually ended up in a sack or loss of yards (flea flicker).


It's real easy to just say "We were to conservative" when you don't know what the F you're talking about.

Agreed. I don't think it was playcalling that lost this game moreso than penalties and mistakes. Every big play in the past few weeks has been negated by a penalty of some sort.

The coaching staff can take some of the blame for that because whatever they're doing to curtail the mistakes seems not to be working but, at some point, the players have to accept the responsibilty.

I don't know if we'd be 7-0 with Jimma, but I do agree that Jimmy is a better gameday coach.
