***Rip Garrett Thread***

[Pokes12]

Let it rip on Red and his players

With a twenty four pointbleadand the ball in the third quarter you run the clock. We throw two pick sixes.

Yuo cannot be that stupid!

Earlier in the thread from AdamJT13...We built a 27-3 lead by passing 28 times and running it 14 times. We had to pass seven times (plus a sack) on the final drive. So, in between, we passed 12 times and ran it 10, which is fairly balanced. Unfortunately, three of those 12 were intercepted, and two were run back for touchdowns.

You mean, the defense is actually stopping someone?

The Cowboys defense was phenomenal for 3 Quarters.

They gave up 124 yards, had an INT and surrendered 3 points through 3 Quarters.

The lone drive that they were responsible for a TD started with 40 seconds left in the 3rd Quarter.

Before that, they had done nothing.

Before that, 5 punts, 1 FG and an INT.

(For whatever reason, ESPN is missing a 40 yard TD drive at the end.)

I don't know how anyone can look at the defensive performance today and be upset.

I just think Garrett should be the HC and not the OC/HC.

Personally, I like the direction we are going, but I'd LOVE some new strategy.

We pulled out one new wrinkle today that I was impressed with. That play where Ogletree went in motion and looked like a reverse, and then planted and cut back outside was a thing of beauty.

Garrett calls some plays that look like he is a genius, and then calls plays that leave you scratching your head.

I'm not going to blame him on the loss, but the passing call that became our 3rd INT was stupid IMO. Just run the ball, waste time and force them to blow their timeouts. Put the pressure on the Lions to make the stops and leave them with the choice of saving time but having no time outs, or hoping the D can force a 3 and out. Make them gamble instead.

The first Romo int was almost identical to the play against NYJ that Revis caught, only it was a LB this time so that is 100% Romo. The 2nd play I'll blame on Romo and Robinson 50/50. The third in my book is 100% on Garrett. You HAVE to run the ball in that situation.

Romo was at fault for the first two. The third(even though you should be able to trust your QB not to throw off his backfoot in double coverage) is on the Coach for even allowing that option.

Then again, if Felix catches an EASY completion on the last drive, we may still win. If Frank Walker doesn't hold, we may still win. If our first round pick RT doesn't get blown up by a small DB we may still win.

My whole point is: Romo HAS to do a better job protecting the ball and the lead. No if ands or buts about it. And Garrett HAS to run the ball with only a 3 point lead.

Well...the middle part should have been about 4-22 instead of 12-10 in pass vs run. Make them win the game with their run defense and offensive scoring power. Not by gift wrapping points to them.

It's almost like Garrett just sticks to his gameplan no matter what the scenario in the game is. He might be the worst in-game adjustment coach I have seen in Dallas. Even with the cadence issue last week. Why didn't he adjust to help Costa out? Instead...he let Costa get thrown under the bus. Romo is gonna get fried these next two weeks. The coaching should not have put him those situations to begin with.

I think these players would benefit from an experienced coach. Garrett is learning as he goes and the team is losing because of it.

It's not just how many passes and runs we had that matters to me. It's when and the types of plays that is as important if not more.

Why pass on first down from our 27 yard line when we are up 24-3? Why pass from the spread shotgun on 3rd and 2 when we just got 7 and 1 yard on two run plays?

sorry bro, the organization has been filled with awful garrett cronies. Look at his brother. Utterly worthless.

Why does Garrett call a lot of the plays he calls in given situations? Hell if I know.

 

[Beast_from_East]

LOL!!!! Man did you just prove everything I accused you of. So youre changing how long hes coached to suit your argument? Official? LMAO!!!!

How could he win a play off game if he's only been the "official" HC for 4 games?

So when Romo hands 2 games over by himself youre calling the HC out but not the guy with the ball? Ooh big man!

Wade at least won a playoff game and a couple of division titles.

Defend Wad much? I pegged you.

Go ahead and cheer for your boy Red, when we are sitting home in January watching the playoffs on TV I will see if you are still have the pom poms out for him.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

I hope that Garrett learns his lesson if you have a 3 TD lead in the 2nd half run the ball and let them prove that they can stop it the run and get your O off of the field, don't help them out by passing.


If they stop the run then play field position with a D that was playing excellent in the first half. You run out some clock and make it harder for them to come back. Time for Garrett to put his pride aside but calling Pass plays up in a Big lead.:bang2:

 

[Beast_from_East]

while your wishing, wish for a knowledgable fan base so we wont have see all the blame it on Garrett posts when Romo goes brain dead.

Nobody is saying all the fault should go to Garrett, Romo is just as responsible. Romo threw the ball, but when your HC/OC wants to implement the "run n shoot" with shotgun 5 wide, empty backfield while sitting on a 24 point lead.................He is not above fault himself.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Why no rip Rex thread?I know there were two pick six but the D gave up 20. I said a couple of weeks ago the D needs to hold the teams to under 16 for this team to win games.

Romo two pick sixes D makes a stop late in the game, just for Romo to turn right back around and give the Lions the ball in Good field position trying to deflect Blame off of Romo when you take away his two TD's that he gave the Lions Dallas wins.

You make a stop and the QB turns around and gives them back the ball yet it's all on the D?

I think this sums it up nicely.

Maybe we need to combine both 'Rip' threads so we can give both of them the grief they deserve?

Garrett needs to hire a real Offensive Coordinator. One who actually calls runs. I feel like Mike Martz Jr. is calling plays out there. You're up 27-3 in the 3rd quarter. You're playing a team that's allowing 4.8 ypc for the season and 4.2 ypc in the game. Your defense is playing well. RUN. THE. FOOTBALL.

Sometimes I think Garrett puts Romo in position to lose. Yeah, Romo made some bad throws out there. Bobby Carpenter made a nice read and came back underneath on the first pick. Laurent Robinson needs to get better position on the second pick, although Romo shouldn't have forced that throw. And Romo just threw off his back foot in the play to Witten and underthrew it. If he leads Witten, that's a BIG gain.

Romo definitely wasn't perfect out there, but Garrett needs to stick with the running game. This is ridiculous out there.

 

[landroverking]

stupid dude. the d is ballin, the o is the same old.

The facts are it is still a team sport. The D had one INT & 0 sacks and came up short on the last lions drive.

Also JG needs someone in the booth to help him make the needed adjustments, they didnt respond well to the coverage changes Detroit brought out for the 2nd half.

So Romo is the only one who has to play perfect from start to finish? For everyone else, it's okay if you fall flat on your face at the end of the game as long as Romo also made a mistake and you played well before that.

Really they played great for 2 quarters. They barely played in the 3rd quarter and sucked in the 4th. That 151 yds and 17 pts in the final 15:37 is NOT negated by a great first half.

 

[28 Joker]

Garrett is Romo's responsibility, and Romo is going to get Garrett fired some day if Garrett doesn't get control of him.

How does a team up 24 points in the second half end (playing at home) up passing 47 times? How? Only in Dallas could that happen. That should have been at least a 40 attempt rushing game for the Cowboys. The rushing attempts, alone, probably would have won the game. Long runs happen in the 4th quarter when teams get tired and desperate. The Cowboys were starting to open up some nice holes and cutback lanes, but Dallas abandoned the run with a big lead. Why? I guess so Tony Romo could play Tecmo Bowl.

Tecmo Bowl is not winning football.

Felix Jones had 155 total yards against the Commanders and had 115 yards rushing and one long run called back... Most of those yards came in the second half. After Romo's second pick six today, those holes and cutback lanes started to close, because the Lions had new life and were back in the game.

The Lions looked ready to be run all over, but the Cowboys got too pass happy with a big lead. Unacceptable, and the defensive coordinator can't be happy.

Buddy Ryan would be looking to punch an offensive coach in the face.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I'll just say this. Anyone that faults any part of today's loss on the defense is a........., well I won't say it so I won't get banned.

Yeah but who was putting them in a position to fail...the offense. You can't keep turning it over and having 3 and outs when the the D did enough to win when it was 27-3. If they eat clock and call the right plays then the D isn't defending a short field the whole 2nd half. It goes hand and hand. Garrett, Romo, whomever..they all failed the team when it counted.
