I felt the offensive game plan and play calling was too conservative, like “they are undermanned; we are the best team; let’s make sure we don’t give it away.”
That red monkey with the cymbals.Almost like they tanked on purpose to get rid of.....
Wait...are you saying that showing the team a video of their highlight plays isn't effective coaching?I said it before.
It showed their character. Whether they gave up on Garrett or not, there were plenty of gut check moments that they elected to opt out of.
24 years now with no success. The problem is Jerry and the culture he creates. Year after year it is the same thing.Because of my masochistic tendencies, I decided to fire up this game again.
It is the first time I have watched it since it happened.
It is amazing the perspective you don't get when watching it in the heat of the moment. You see little nuances you missed the first time.
What was so shocking to me was the lack of urgency that the whole team had. It was like they did not care.
Cooper was especially disappointing. Prescott was not on point.
And the defense, well, we know how they underachieved.
I just remember being mad about the game, but watching it again just was depressing.
It makes me wonder if they had no desire to win, because it sure looked like it.
I would encourage everyone who can watch it again do so and then start to decide how they feel about the talent on this team.
The players, by that point, realized that the coaching staff likely wouldn’t be back. No team plays well or hard for a lame duck coaching staff.I know. But you can never learn if you do not revisit the past.
There were numerous opportunities the players, not the coaches, had in that game.
I know it is all fun and games to focus on the new staff, but some of these players really lacked focus in that game.
And it was not the fringe guys. The money players spit the bit so hard.
That's why I started a thread stating, "It's not the coaches. It's the players," right after that Eagles game, and I got blasted for it.I know. But you can never learn if you do not revisit the past.

Here's reality on why we lost to the Eagles.
Can you deal with the truth folks?
9 Pts ain't buying us a donut!
So in a game that means everything, you just do what, evaluate on an average of all of them?
Really? This is one of the dumbest takes I have ever seen on this forum and that is saying a lot.
A PROFESSIONAL also notes how the same team performed in games where they could have solidified their position.A PROFESSIONAL that evaluates players don't do it based on a single play or game. A PROFESSIONAL may use a single bad game as what seals the deal for a player based on their evaluation of everything thus far. If in their evaluation they were at a point where a bad game was enough to swing their evaluation but they don't use any single game as their sole reason to get rid of a player. If using your method and being strictly hypothetical lets say a team was in the exact position the Cowboys were in at the 2nd game against the eagles. Under your thinking of only using that single game to decide on whether or not to keep a player and lets say that Brees or Rodgers was the QB and that QB threw not one but TWO pick sixes and they ended up why that team lost. Now using your logic, if you want to call it that, because that QB cost that team a chance to get to the playoffs and played so bad there no other option than get rid of that QB because basing it sole on that one game.

Not sure where the confidence leading up to that game came from
Yes, but if you don't look back at it, you won't learn from it.You Sir, are simply a glutton for punishment!
