Mentality is just something fans get to yell about.
They scored 35 points. The Rams scored 35 points. The Broncos scored 42 points.
This isn't about Linehan and JG. Our defense is brutally bad.

Yes I agree but yesterday the 2 idiots cost us the game. If they would have ran, it burns Green Bay's last timeout. Horrible coaching.

Is someone saying it isn't? But does that fact absolve the offensive coaches of their own mistakes?
The last 3 weeks we have scored 28, 30, and 31.
Choosing now to complain that the offense wasn't perfect enough is just goofy.

Im to the point where we just need to blitz the guy every other play.

Especially when we have a lead.

Bend but don't break will not work against this QB.


Man, Press, Blitz... Rinse and repeat.

When you are asking your offense to go on a 10 minute drive with 10 minutes left in the game and score the go ahead TD then I just cant feel right in blaming them for leaving a minute on the clock. Lets be honest with ourselves.. If GB kicked the field goal do you think we would have been able to stop them in OT? We let Geoff and Trevor Simein look like hall of fame QB's in the last month.

Its a really bad reality when watching a game to feel a genuine surprise when our defense makes a stop. We let some running back no one has heard of have a career game. We did this with Anderson in Denver also. This is a bad defense that will cause every game to become a 'who has the ball last wins' team. Luck runs out on those teams.

Well for starters, Garrett is the head coach. So if the offense or defense or special teams suck, it's on him. He's been the ********* head coach for 8 years now.

Two, the offense has issues and just throwing out the point totals is such simplistic thinking that is probably done just to try to hide the realities of this incompetency of this coaching staff.

So a pass in your mind in this situation was okay? Glad your not the coach. The national media has blasted the Cowboys for that call and we are the laughing stock of the NFL today because of it.

Oh... so now we are back to pretending JG hired Marinelli?
Are we also pretending Wade Philips hired Garrett?

While we are playing pretend lets pretend that our offense didn't score everytime it had the ball but twice.

And yet, the Cowboys offensive staff sure acted like they knew the realities of the situation. Instead of running a regular offense with 8-9 minutes to go, they went totally methodical there. Heavy doses of inside runs, short passes and letting the play clock wind down. They made no attempts to stop the clock or catch the Packers off guard with a quick play or anything like that.

Garrett knew he could leave Rodgers with enough time to mount a drive, or at least he thought that for like 7 minutes. Then with 1 minute to go, the two dipwads on the sideline decided that was the PERFECT time to call a play that has a very high percentage of falling incomplete and giving the Packers a much needed free time out.

So sit there and blame the defense all you want. They stunk. Marinelli stinks. But you expect your ********* head coach to understand his team's shortcomings at that moment and not make decisions that directly feed into having your weakness be in a position to do something they are probably ill equipped to do, especially against a QB who just did the same ********* thing to you 10 months ago.

This entire coaching staff needs to go. They are in over their heads.

When Joe Buck is calling out the pass to Dez being stupid how could anyone miss it?!? I hate that play not even trying to kill the clock. Dez can't out jump anyone anymore.

I will say this however. That drive was a thing of beauty. It really was. Zeke was a beast and that got lost in the defeat.
Just last week on the first drive of the game Dez had an amazing jumble reception for 40 yards.

LOL.

So are you now admitting Garrett is just a figurehead who really has no responsibility at all?

No, let's pretend that our offensive coaching staff didn't make a boneheaded decision with just over a minute left to go in the game.

"Goofy" is ignoring the mistakes being made on that side of the ball too.

Nobody's asking for "perfect". We're asking for football smart.

This isn't an either/or vacuum here.
"Goofy" is holding an offense to a standard that is unrealistic and will allow you to moan and complain after every game.
We can look at Mr Perfect Rodgers and find crap to complain about if they lost also. You have to be able to look at the production of the units as a whole and evaluate from there. Not cherry pick imperfections and try to blow them up into the reason we lost.

Great.

What's that got to do with that play at that time in that situation at that spot on the field?

Nothing. This isn't about what Dez can or can't do. It's a low percentage play regardless of the WR.

And guess what? The outcome of the game tells us just how dumb a call it was.

LOL, I didn't realize expecting your offensive coaches to not go brain dead at a key moment in the game is "unrealistic".

What funny about admitting what is obvious?
Do you think JG has the power to hire and fire his DC and OC?
Of course he is a figure head. This isn't breaking news.

I'm not sure we all agree. If the issue is the fade route on second down, yeah. If you're saying Dak should've gone down at the one, nope.

It's one thing to not score when you only need a FG. But you can't play that game when you need a TD, and here's why: "False start, offense, number 77. Five yard penalty, remains first down."

But of course, our line never gets called for a false start. Just take a knee and punch it in as time expires. Easy peasy. :rolleyes:
Or a hold on a 2 point conversion...never have seen it. lol
