Trolling: ***Post Game Thread***

[ScipioCowboy]

The Jason Garrett era should never have started to begin with. You don't learn on the job in the NFL.

I don't agree with the bolded porition. I think it's always a learning experience--especially with first time head coaches. If you want someone "young and hungry", there will be growing pains.

Having said that, it's year three. It's time to show something. If the Cowboys were to drop the next game to the Rams, I wouldn't be opposed to cutting bait with Garrett right then and there and seeing what it would take to get MNF to release Gruden from his contract. Maybe I'm overreacting. I probably am. But I've seen this movie before, if you know what I mean.

Good old CZ
despite a pathetic offensive performance the usual suspects are out in full force in Garrett's defense

Dont worry, no amount of smoke and mirrors can save Garrett if we dont make the playoffs.

No more excues at this point.

You mean the Internet attracts people with wide and divergent opinions? Color me shocked.

Garrett was unqualified to be an offensive coordinator, he didn't deserved that position to begin with, nor did he master it once he was there. You don't then further elevate an unqualified subordinate to a superior position and expect him to learn on the job.

That chiefs drive said a lot. They wanted to pound it and finish the game, we played like we had one foot on the plane

Garrett was unqualified to be an offensive coordinator, he hadn't deserved that position to begin with, nor did he master it once he was there. You don't then further elevate an unqualified subordinate to a superior position and expect him to learn from there.

It's tough to argue against the points you're making. I still say there's room for "on the job training" in the NFL, but I think Garrett has used up all his excess space.

I dunno - maybe it's just me - but if I'm a GM of an NFL football team, and I need a headcoach, I'm going to choose someone with at least SOME head coaching experience. This team especially doesn't have the time to see if we

Precisely.

I agree, and in Garrett's defense, I think that he got a series of (mostly political) battlefield promotions and couldn't maintain pace with the incremental responsibility. Tough to learn at that rate. He might have been better served falling into Wilson's role for a few years and then making the step to OC. He's rich now and probably more risk adverse than hungry, IMO.

I didn't get to watch the game. Sounds like a tough loss. how did spencer and waters look and did they play much?

On the job training is fine in JAX, SD, Buff, etc, etc but not in big D. I thought that job was too big for him then and I still do. I still maintain that Garrett would make a better GM than a head coach. I wouldn't even mind him being our GM. Suffice it to say, he is history if this team under-performs again no matter what JJ tells us.

Waters didnt play that much.

Spencer looked well overweight.

Thanks hoof
Sounds like they are not quite ready

Waters will probably be ready soon.

Spencer, I dunno. He looked really heavy.

 

[TX_Yid]

Spencer's run containment was abysmal.

Spencer was also up to his inside move allowing the QB to slip outside

Things I'm tired of

Murry always tripping over something or running in molasses or some other thing that prevents him from busting a decent run.

Our tight ends who fall forward the moment they have anyone around their ankles. Can we mix in a high step or shake loose?

Things that I thought were better

O line except the last quarter
Interior D line getting more push

Things that killed me

The almost 7 minute drive that led to only a FG at the start of the 3rd quarter. This was the game changer for me. Dez one on one but we go wr screen to williams ? Trying to get cute instead of going to your best athlete on the field

The Dunbar fumble. He is our Darren sproles with a David Wilson problem.
The Claiborne penalty was garbage.
The pass to Miles that he caught but was way behind him...out inn front and he is gone.

absoluetly spot on post.............

 

[unionjack8]

Hanna looked slow to me on the few touches he got

beacuse he's getting the ball on a play where his route calls him to stop, he should be running down the seam and stretching the D and forcing a lber to struggle in trailing him.
Another player not being utilised correctly

 

[jdogg33]

If only romo threw the ball to Dez on the 9 yard line

If only romo could throw it ahead of the receiver

If only we had plays designed to go more than 5 yards

BINGO!! He is not good at throwing the crossing route where the receiver needs to keep momentum.
He has never been good at this.

Some people think Spencer played great. I'm just wondering what game they were watching.
