Agree, Garrett has to go. This is the kind of loss that has the potential to add rifts in the locker room.

The defense did choke, no question but it should have never come down to that. The D held their own for three quarters and the offense did not help them. The gameplans, play-calling and schemes suck and I don't know how the coaches can't see that and make a change. It is essentially the same every week, especially on the road.

The offense lost this game(includes Garrett and Bill), not Tyron, not Romo and not the defense. The last two offensive series were completely backwards and that lost the game.

Several problems with this strategy:

  • Three straight kneels would put the ball at around a 52-yard field goal attempt. That's not an FG attempt that gives an extremely high level of confidence. Sure, Bailey has been clutch, but a 52-yard FG is by no means something you can take for granted.
  • Picking up a first down TRULY ends the game in Dallas' favor. When you have the opportunity to get a first down, you try for it.

we kneel 3 times and punt. They would have got ball back with 25 seconds and NO TIMEOUTS .

Honestly, the entire offensive philosophy is just whacked. We are not a running team, especially with Murray out. Why in the world do we keep trying to run the ball on 1st down? Thats a dumb idea by the coaches. Garrett needs to play to win rather than try not to lose. That is what cost us the game. Heck, we should have gone for it on 4th down. Dumb coaching all around.

too freaking conservative, how many games have we lost like this now?

I'd rather make errors of aggression, I guarantee they would have more wins in all the close games they lost if they had taken Jimmy Johnsons approach in the 92' championship game with the lead and a few minutes left that lead to Harpers long run.

If Garret had been coach it would have been three and out and no Super Bowl that year.

I'm numb right now, I can't believe they lost another ****in game like this. Actually, I can believe it, I just hope'd they'd finally dodge a bullet, but hell no

Detroit scored 24 ******* points in the 4th quarter. Its mind bending how the Cowboys find ways to lose regardless of the coach , the year, the QB or the players. (insert Jerry jones slam here)
That last one minute ****ed up the whole week and probably the rest of the season

Hindsight is 20/20.

If Tyron doesn't hold, If Scandrick doesn't let slow *** Durham beat him down the sidelines, if the pass rush didn't give Stafford all day on his last drive, we're not having this conversation. I don't know that any of those things are JG's fault.

When its crunch time and when Garrett needs to make a decision he fails. Honestly, the problem with his is that he plays it conservative way to earlier. Even when Detroit brings their safety up to the LOS, and Bryant has 1 on 1 coverage, we still try to run the ball. Thats playing NOT TO LOSE. Playing not to lose is a coaching problem which points back to Garrett. Garrett got his team in a situation to lose the game. Thats his fault at the end.

The sad thing is this has happened many times before and he hasn't taken the time to study how to manage a game.

they take the oc away so he can concentrate on hc duties, but he screws that up as well

I find your opinion comical. coaching was not the problem today. far from it.

Never Garrett's fault. Explain why the offense couldn't adjust? That is coaching. Putting the ball back in their hands that is time management another component of coaching.

Come on guys. If we didn;t have a holding call on third down the Lions would have gotten the ball back with something like 20 seconds on the clock. Not Garrett's fault.'

Also, O-Scan thought and rightly so that he would have safety help over the top and Hamilton was way late making the read. Not Garrett's fault.

Regardless of the TO's if your D is giving up 600 yards of offense you have no business winning the game or even being in it.

Come on. The coach should have to explain to his players that a holding call in that situation would be bad? Or that allowing a player to get behind you on a go route was the one thing you couldn't allow?

The players blew this one. End of story.
We are discussing this single play. Not the next drive.

Our head coach does not even know that rule. Unacceptable. Garrett is a loser and always will be.

Only a complete clueless idiot would blame not only Jason Garrett, but ANY of the coaches for this loss.

Why not a straight up the middle run play? Or they could have spread the field with 5 receivers and one back. Then run it up the middle. You minimize penalties that way.

This was a coaching failure. Bad playcalling and being conservative all gave killed us. This game was given to us by the Lions and yet we didn't even put it away and we let them linger. Its not the players fault. Thats coaching.

It's unfortunate we held on 3rd down. However down's 1 and 2 should have been simple dives or kneel downs. Nothing wide to lose field position which we did twice, on 4th down we should have been kicking a field goal as the clock wound down. We were not going to be able to run the clock out with this run game but Detroit should have had 17 seconds left to drive the length of the field for a TD.

You are mistaken. Dez doesn't want to lose. When he gets 5 targets the entire game and watches his coaches call a conservative game, he feels absolutely helpless. DEZ has seen this story too many times. Heck Dallas fans know its coming. It sickening and the Dallas offense only started to do something when his tantrum was thrown. I will glady welcome a Dez tantrum at the start of every game. ******* sad as ****.

What did Garret do wrong after the penalty? Honest question. Should he have run the ball on 4th down to drain the clock? Giving the ball back to Detroit around their twenty yard line, needing a FG to tie (not win)?

You can throw on 4th since the clock stops if you don't convert.
