JG has none. Yesterday it was more apparent than ever and was right in JJ face. Hence him leaving the stadium quiet.

JG played that situation as if the he was going for the game winning FG attempt. As if the game was already tied and he wanted to minimize the chance of a mistakes. As if OT was guaranteed. Again with a conservative approach.

He took the ball away from our Offense. Took the opportunity away from our players to win the game.

JG had in his back pocket.

1 - When the clock mismanagement started he had 50+ seconds.
2 - A time out.
3 - A Offense that was moving the ball very well in the 4th quarter.
4 - A Defense that was playing well and he didn’t need to fear losing the coin toss.
5 - A pretty good kicker that’s made 16 straight.

He could have very easily and should have ran at least 1 more play. A simple dump off over the line with Elliot would have gotten him closer or a big play. Could have ran the roll out and hit Swaim like he had done every game. The deadskins were trying to take away the end zone and sidelines away. Leaves the middle of the field open. He simply was not aggressive at all. Now the refs screwed us and if they called it correct and the ball was at least in its original spot then even though the kick was off it would have squeezed through.

JJ has to know that JG has been the HC for 8+ years and has seen these situations multiple times and continually makes the wrong choices. And he will continue to coach with the same conservative manner.

We are apparently going to have several close games this year and it will come down to these coaching decisions. JG has already cost us 2 games or at the least 2 games that he has taken the ball away from the Offense and players to get the win. If he tries and fails then JJ can deal with that. He is a gambler and needs a HC that reflects that. Our Offense has no swagger or confidence because they are a reflection of our HC.

JJ could possibly save this season by firing JG. Put Richard as interim HC. He has a aggressive approach. Look at how our Defense is playing.

All of you wanting us to tank or lose games to have JJ fire JG will get there wish if he stays our HC. Yesterday did it for me wishing or expecting JG to learn from his mistakes.

At some point soon if it hasn’t happened already is the players give up on JG.

Just do it JJ. He has to be thinking about it. 2 games this year he has left the stadium and without a word. 1st Gabe our HC didn’t have our team ready. Yesterday he wasn’t aggressive at all and it cost us. Another game again he wasn’t aggressive and it cost us and JJ eluded to it. No way he can stand by him anymore.

We've repeated this same thing for 8 years but the wrong people are listening. We need JJ to hear it.
 
And then what?

What up and coming young HC prospect would be willing to commit career suicide by relying on Jerry's infinite knowledge as a GM to help build the team and make the right personnel and cap choices? Who would be willing to watch their plan for success repeatedly disregarded, their authority constantly undermined, and their locker room contaminated by Jerry's latest reclamation projects?

Jason Garrett isn't the problem, he's just another symptom.

We aren’t getting rid of Dak or JJ so we have to start treating some of these symptoms. Lol.
