My goodness folks, this isn't rocket science

[CowboyinMD]

1) Dallas is without their best player on offense (Ezekiel Elliott).

2) Dallas is without their best player on defense (Sean Lee).

3) Dallas is without their best lineman, on either side of the ball (Tyron Smith).

That's NO EXCUSE for the team to quit, but if we the fans or hell even Eagles players expected the same team that beat KC, y'all are just going to be sorely disappointed.

It's not just the fact that we still don't have the quality depth to make up for these losses (same old same old for over 20 years). You're talking about taking away our BEST contributers on offense and defense, and the numbers back it up. It is what it is.

We didn't have Murray out for an extended period in 2014...what if we did? Do we coast to the division title with our backup RB? Same as last year -- what if Elliott were out six games? Do we win as many?

Face it-- the way this team is structured, one or two or three key injuries and/or suspensions and we're done. It's that simple. Much like in '15 with Weeden filling in for Romo. Especially someone like Zeke, who accounts for 40-50% of the offense since our WRs scare no one.

Actually it's easier than that.

Our coaching staff isn't good enough. End of story.

Our coaches have no ability to scheme over weaknesses. Sean McVay has made the Rams overnight contenders with nearly the exact same roster they had last year. His schemes are so good that even without a significant upgrade in talent, he is getting significantly better results.

Jason Garrett brings the opposite - without top level talent across the board, we effectively become the Cleveland Browns. In what world is that remotely acceptable?

That is a very simple way of looking at it. I'm sure Garrett does the same thing.

Who needs the team that beat KC? We just needed the team from the first half that was UP 9-7.

No one has an answer when you ask them exactly what is it that Garrett does?

He doesn't run the offense or the defense and acts like he has no input in it. His slogans and speeches that he rips off from Saban and Coach K mean nothing to the players. He chews gum and claps and turns more red when he is constantly humiliated out there.

 

[ShiningStar]

its simple but complicated. you have to take a flame thrower to the top, and until the Jones boys stop seeing it as a playground and realize its a football team nothing will change.

so we can go the rest of the year without a TD drive....and you would be understanding because of all the "challenges" we are facing?

Leadership starts at the top. Here is our leader.

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

We could have a team littered with healthy all pros and this coaching staff would choke in the playoffs. Just look at packer game last year , substitution errors , terrible play calls , wrong defensive schemes .
Players wouldnt over come Garrett in the post season anyway .
This is not an opinion but a factual statement .

 

[jazzcat22]

And Jerry, don't forget Jerry. He has his built in excuse to keep the staff in place.

Agreed. After the Packers game last year, I had a hopeless feeling that no matter how good our current core is we'll never be able to overcome the weakness of our HC. It's even more hopeless when you realize the puppet master isn't even close to done pulling the strings on this ventriloquist doll.

 

[CWR]

Add to that Dak couldnt hit the broad side of a barn last night and Our WRS couldn't catch a cold.

Nonetheless we were the better team for 30 minutes.

We lose in the second half every game. It SCREAMS coaching. You field a tough competitive team for one half only to get dominated after halftime. Only thing happening during halftime is ADJUSTMENTS, which we arent making cause hey we are doing fine.

 

[noshame]

Once again, there were plays that could have, and did work, but if it's working Linehan goes away from it. Half our running yds came on a handful of plays outside, yet we never forced them to adjust to it. In the third quarter we ran outside and had a 2nd and 2, Scott threw the damn ball. then we came back with a run inside on third down and the eagles were waiting for it. Where is Jason, on second and 2, I'm calling a TO and ripping my OC a new one right there. We could have made a game of it, but we were out coached again.

Once again, another great post. I don't understand why people can't get this!

 

[Yakuza Rich]

The issue is that Garrett can build a good team, but if something goes awry then he has no answer for it. This isn't looking Romo and Dez in 2015...but even in 2015 the adjustment was horrendous.

Now we have our starting QB, Dez, etc and we actually ran the ball well, but once again...the adjustments are horrendous. Meanwhile, the Eagles lose their Pro Bowl LT and MIKE and continue to just steamroll thru the league.

This is why Garrett just isn't the coach we want. We're banking on us to stay perfectly healthy and that's not likely to happen, particularly with a terrible S&C coach like Woicik...who is a Garrett guy.

The team that beat KC appears to be a mirage, once the Gents beat them yesterday.

 

[noshame]

Raise your hand if you felt in your heart we'd fold in the second half? I did, I said so in the game thread, I also hoped for a miracle, it didn't happen.

WHEN YOU LOSE GAMES IN THE SECOND HALF, THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE TO POINT A FINGER. hint, it's not the players.
