Personal prediction for rest of the season

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I am not holding high hopes. I wasn't even happy with our win. badly played game. very sloppy. despite defensive performance. again, crucial time. end of the game. they played great the whole game, but last drive they couldn't make a key stop. same thing as other losses earlier in the season.

So here is my prediction for rest of the season. I think we have a good chance of going 0-4, at best 1-3.

GB - Loss again in a close game.
Buffalo - Loss
Jets - Loss
Commanders - Loss or win, depending on the mind set of the team and where the Commanders are at that point and how motivated.

we end up 5-11 at best. 4-12 more probably. Jerry is already setting the table to excuse himself and blame coaching. he is somewhat right about coaching. but then again he is the GM and is responsible for scouting and players. Why did he have Weeden on the team? why not a plan to have a back up QB. then scramble to get Cassell, mid season. a QB at the end of his career. weaker arm. trying to learn a system mid season and become the savior? that's idiotic. and as evident can't be done.

so now jerry is pointing fingers and saying he is not happy with them not being coached up. if we got 1-3 or 0-4 with several close losses, he will have the ammunition to let the coaching staff go.

i agree with your win and loss but I don't think he fires garrett he is to comfortable with him.

Thanks for...sharing?

there is no way garrett is going to get fired. he is like a son to jones we are stuck with garrett for another five years. we kept campo for three straight 5-11 years before he got fired so no way garrett gets fired after one 5-11 season.

Jerry'd fire Garrett in a heartbeat if he didn't like the job he has been doing. I know people like to believe there are other reasons the coach is still around, but the people who see him work most closely like him. The players like him, the staff likes him, and Jerry and Stephen both like him. It's the fans who don't like him, and they don't like him because the team is not winning. When the team is winning the coach has miraculously come around. When it is not, he hasn't. You can see that in any team in the league in any era, because that's how mob mentality works.

You never see a mob with a sophisticated interpretation of circumstances. Mobs look around at everybody else for direction, and then go the way the majority seems to be going. In this case, the QB is hurt and the GM is going nowhere, so it's the coach who's got to get it.

Well I don't agree with you on many points or your use of periods (sorry, I'm a dork). I don't really think we win out either, but I appreciate when someone lays out a case with some of their ideas of causes like you have. Jerry has pointed the finger at himself (Stephen even more so) but that won't change anything, so let's just let that legacy continue on as it will.

I don't think he will fire Garrett and I don't think he should. Continuity around Romo while trying to build talent around him should be the name of the game as long as he's playing, and since it sounds like the Jones boys project that for multiple years we should keep Garrett unless next year is a dumpster fire.

I still haven't heard many sane suggestions for what we should have done at backup QB, but maybe I've missed them.

If we beat GB I think we go 3-1. If not, 2-2.

Well said! Too many over react like teenage girls. Once the team start winning it becomes a forgotten issue.

My personal prediction.


Get ourselves into a win and in scenario.. Lose in that scenario and end up out of the playoffs and totally destroying our draft position.

I think Jerry is clearly disappointed with Garrett, I think that Jerry was hoping he would have been like Sean Payton

That does not mean Jerry is going to fire him, but the idea that Jerry and the entire organization just loves him is a reach given Jerry's comments this week

I disagree. I think you're reading too much into what was actually said.

It's the coach who couldn't muster a single win with a QB another coach got 10 wins with. That's definitely a coaching problem. Garrett deserves all the blame he gets.

Unless you are Jerry, Stephen, a player, or part of the staff, you don't know that they like him for sure.
No different than me saying they all hate him.

And there were plenty of fans who didn't like him when we were winning. Because some of us knew he had very little to do with us winning games.

disagree with the firing of Garrett and the continuity angle. I submit that Sean Payton could come in immediately and establish a very good rapport with Romo and install his offense effectively. At this point there are literally no pros to keeping Garrett other than if Payton does not become available after this season.

 

[Bullflop]

Jerry will often do what it takes to divert responsibility away from himself. That's basically how I see his recent criticism of Garrett coming about. I'm quite confident JG didn't coach McFadden to go out of bounds as he did late vs. Washington, even though his own clock management hasn't been impervious to criticism. If Jerry were inclined to be totally up front about the state of his team's problems, he'd be obliged to assume his share of the responsibility for the Cowboys' demise this year. His failure to address the backup QB issue in an efficient and timely manner has had a crippling effect upon his team's chances for success in 2015.

Pointing a finger in the direction of others is irresponsible, by way of diverting attention elsewhere. JG surely isn't the poster boy for ideal coaching but under the circumstances, ideal coaching isn't readily approachable with extremely poor backup QBs in place. Jerry desperately needs to take an objective look in the mirror if he honestly wants to place the blame where it belongs. He simply isn't disposed to being objective, however, when he's steadfastly in denial of his own incompetence as a GM. Essentially, there is plenty of blame to go around within the confines of Valley Ranch in 2015. It all begins structurally at the top and filters down to the coaching staff and players as well. Unfortunately, it's more of the same old thing that has been bugging this team for far too long now.

If you're comparing this team to a Patriots' team way back in its glory days, with much greater team support for Cassel, it's hardly a fair comparison to hold Garrett at fault for.
