Someone commented in another thread yesterday that he didn't look like himself during the game. I think you an really see that here. Some sort of intensity or aura.

He knows how and when to take the risks when he's got a team he trusts. We saw that in 2014, and we're seeing it now.

The guy knows what he's doing. It's taken him time to figure it out, and it's taken time to assemble it, but there's no doubt in my mind that he's had the blueprint for what we've seen here the last few years all along.

I'm a Garrett hater, but the man showed a lot of courage last night. My knock on him has always been situation awareness and being too conservative (along with all the clapping).

He will win me over if he keeps calling games like this. There's no shame in losing as long as you leave it all on the field.

I think I'm becoming a believer.

Desperation. It's only so many non playoff seasons a guy can have. 1 postseason in going on 6 seasons would have that seat scorching hot

I don't think he knew when to take the risks before. But he is learning for sure.

The reason his face looked so different in that shot is that, in his heart, he is a conservative guy and not a risk taker. It is majorly stressful for him, and it shows on his face.

He definitely is figuring it out, but it has been a slow process. He doesn't like change or taking risks (they go together), which, unfortunately, have made his evolution take a long time.

I'd rather lose knowing we had the cajones to believe in our team and go for the 1st instead of the FG, than lose by not believing and giving the Eagles a chance to win or tie it. Our offense is our strength. You win games by capitalizing on your strengths. With arguably the best O-Line and RB in the game, the decision was a tough one, but the right one.

The perfect call for the Cowboys at the time. Loved Garrett's decision.

I loved how Garrett coached the game.. We played desperate and calculated. Loved it.

Win or lose I would've been happy with Garrett but upset at Linehan.


We need to get away from those plays we were running against all out blitzes. Too hard for our QB's to get rid of the ball with 30 yard routes.

He has that Danny White 1,000 yard Mormon stare going on.

I also thought I saw that with Dak (he knew he was being exploited and having a tough time). They almost had that look of accepting a loss. This was a crucial game and we won the battle but the war is nowhere near over. Our division is tough and records are deceiving!!!!

That look may be called "Being in the Zone".
