Garrett went 4-12.

Most of his records were 8-8 in that neighborhood . Figures he had a 4-12 in the mix . He lasted too long .

I’m reading the tea leaves when MM wasn’t given an extension at 82 Jerry’s not going a decade with smother coach not close to a SB .

My mistake on the JG fact good catch

I know it seemed that way but Garrett was only 8-8 from 2011 to 2013. After that he went 12-4, 4-12, 13-3, 9-7, 10-6, 8-8. Ironically in each of his 8-8 seasons, the Cowboys needed just one more win to win the division and make the playoffs. Romo getting hurt cost us 2011 and 2013 while Romo's 3 INT stinker against the Ratscums doomed us in 2012. Then again in 2019 we got to enjoy Dak playing a pivotal game at Philly without practicing all week owing to an injured shoulder and hand. Damn just typing that I'm seeing how snakebit this team has been with injuries at QB.

Garrett was hanging by the rim. Jerry said that's pretty good.

So it took a 3-6 start and National embarrassment for several weeks in order for Captain Obvious to step up his coaching game? I dunno, wasn't the refusal to extend TP last year a sign that Rico would be crowned RB 1? You can't make this stuff up. Man oh man

He should have know in April he didn't enough talent to have a committee. Zeke is no good and Deuce is no good, and that was known in April...should've keep Royce.

It’s sad that every non delusional non obsessed with Zeke fan knows exactly why Rico wasn’t the primary carrier all year

Dowdle is actually kinda good.

He just needs opportunities.

Draft a back round 3 and Re sign Dowdle . Your lead back the draft pick needs a partner help handle the load . Plus Leupke mixed in as battering ram and screens I’m starting to like the RB room .

Not only has Dowdle been underutilized but Leupke goes long stretches invisible .

Although the 3 stooges McFraud, Schott & Solari have no clue in how to game plan and prepare an effective 2024 style run game at least this is more fresh material vice the RBBC uh,. that is, run it back by Zeke philosophy.

Man, to think the history of TD, Emmitt and even Murray and early Zeke get love too as bell cow running backs and this franchise's storied run game...
Just to see and listen to lies about the absolutely disgraceful failure this staff represents as run game architects.
Literally they are keystone cops in trying to run the ball.
And then will insult us all by talking
at the podium of committing to run and every other lie known to mankind.
Run game coaching malpractice at its finest.

TRULY PATHETIC.

But, Go Cowboys!

I believe he had 51 yards in the first half and finished the game with 53 yards. It makes no sense.
nope, none whatsoever, was like when Garrett stopped running Murray against the Packers in 2013 and 2014 (although in fairness, he did fumble and cost us the game in 2014)
