Sure, but no one is arguing that.

Reminds me of that saying, the guilty fleeth when no one pursueth!!!

I probably wasn't as up on the conversation as I should have been when I posted.

Raise your hand if the FO owes you an apology for extremely dumb decisions that have consistently kept us from competing for the big one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so amazing that fans who never spent a single second in any capacity in the NFL always think they have all the answers. First the "game plans" are done early in the week BEFORE the game. Second, during halftime there's not an abundance of time. The teams have about 10 minutes before they break and go back up and give the players a few minutes to warm up again. Also during halftime there are players that need to get retaped and/or be checked out by the trainers all while the coordinators are making their adjustments.

Here's a little something I know you didn't think of. Your example of the falcons game with Green and Bell, if Garrett did what you said and just moved say Witten of to the left side on every play to help out that now takes a receiver out of the pattern which makes the defense that much easier to defend the outside receivers. Now if Garrett only puts Witten there on passing plays then that is just a huge tip off that a passing play is coming. If Garrett leaves Witten over there on all plays that also has a direct impact on which running plays will work so that limits that too. I've sad it many times before. If these fan wannabe coaches were so skilled in coaching some team would have heard about all of their great talent and they wouldn't be here playing wannabe coaches but would be actual coaches.

Dont make me laugh! As it stood Dak had no time to throw. The oline gave up 7 sacks. And that doesnt account for the pressures. Trying anything would of been better than doing nothing. Of course the game plans are made during the week leading up but in case you didnt know Garretts offense doesnt gameplan for specific defenses they run the same offense week in and week out. The only other team that does that is the Steelers. You can do that but it requires an extreme amount of talent. Most teams have to put together a game plan.
Do you actually think that adjustments cant be made or do you think Garrett doesnt have the time to make them. There is something called an alternate game plan its kind of like a plan B. And that can be done the week before too!!! Look around the league my friend and you will see many teams come out in the second half of football and change things up!

On the contrary...they owe me one. There was no need to have security escort me out the facilities like that. I can find the exist just fine on my own.
I have found, stadium ruffian, that, once banished from the premises, an array of disguises help. I sometimes use a rabbi disguise, but me low-class south Manchester accent and throwabouts give me away. If the need arises, I will wear me sheihk disguise on Salute to America Day.

It is embarrassing in that it illustrates that the luster and allure of playing for the dallas cowboys is gone. We are no different in the eyes of this generation of NFL player than the Bengals, Lions........or Chiefs.

Be careful. The last time I went down that road I was told about our TV ratings and jersey sales. :muttley:

Never mind that Sammy Watkins was 2 years old the last time Dallas won a SB.

Brainless in YOUR eyes. While I'm dissatisfied with the team through much of the last two decades, I personally don't think it's wise to be too judgemental about someone who's better at it than I am. Do you actually think you could do a better job?
Umm... I don't think I'd do worse.

Seriously? Apply for the job then! Help us out, and get rich! How long do you figure it would take you to get up to speed?
Oh yeah... just like that. You should apply with me! Or maybe you should apply as a poster consultant. That should be just as easy to get into. Maybe pays more too.

I mean... what a stupid retort. Hey, go be a GM then! Everybody is scrambling for one! Certainly Jerry will hire you!

If there's someone better for the job, why not? Of course, convincing HIM might be kinda hard....

What's a Poster Consultant? Talk about your stupid retorts!

You really think the Real World acts like that?
I know some genius writers. Genius! And they just can't break into Hollywood. Why? It's not because they're inferior talents to what's currently employed, it's because it's a good old boys club with exclusivity and it's a fluke for a newb to get in. Not the norm.
It's not as easy as telling someone "I have the talent you need to make you..." - you know what?

I don't even think you'd get it and I'm wasting my time here.


Edit: Nice edit. You can't fathom what a Poster Consultant could be...

Ummmm I hear in order to break into Hollywood you gotta...well how do I say this....perform acts that involve satisfying a man behind a desk that someone like John Travolta would approve of.

Don't get frustrated, pard! I get what you're saying. I just like to entertain folks that are consistently unhappy. I don't agree with a lot of stuff I hear about the FO, but I also know that they know the details a helluva lot more than I do.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! I've seen a few things...
I'm glad I moved out of town and work remotely. Things are much nicer now.

Less money, but I really don't care.

But, you see, I'm not consistently unhappy. I'm pretty cool, most of the time.
You should read my stuff sometimes, instead of making assumptions.

No doubt! Who do you write for?

Assumptions? Yeah, I'm guilty! I've seen so much negativity here it's become more of a natural reflex!
