Skip Bayless comment regarding Jason Garrett

[Bleu Star]

Jason Garrett’s Cowboys have gotten comfortable with losing close games. He's a Stepford coach who just keeps clapping encouragement.

Wow... Skip tweeted this yesterday.

Anything to discuss?

"He's a hater," or some such thing....

 

[RunDMC]

Skip is right. Garrett is getting a pass because of Tony being out and that's just not right. No coach should get a pass for making no adjustments, to their scheme and their game plan, not preparing their team and getting them ready to play against a division rival, and your team inexplicably finding a way to give the last three games away. That is or should be unacceptable.

Skip is an idiot, loud mouth, shock jock and even when he's right, he's wrong.

 

[Hailmary]

I disagree about being comfortable with losing close games. I agree about the comment regarding Garrett.

Bring on Payton!

Cannot watch or listen to Skip or SAS; they are mind polluters, just serving their own egos.

There seems to be a trend with JG led teams. They start out games strong, then other teams make adjustments and start to take over games late.

I have never seen a team give up so many leads in my life.

Lost credibility with that statement. The team has made adjustments if you've been paying attention. They just have been struggling with a inept backup in Weeden and a QB in Cassel that's only been with the team for a few weeks. Combine that with an inexplicable lack of turnovers and you see the results. I knows it's much easier for fans to start blaming folks but it's not that simple and smart fans understand that.

Maybe Garrett is a dunce, but I sure am not taking a complete buffoon like Bayless' word for it.

To be brutally honest - I think the entire organization got a pass from Tony during those 8-8 years because it's pretty apparent that those were 4-12 teams and if that's really the case we would've been two years into a new coaching regime by now.

That being said, the personnel department has done a pretty good job recently and Jerry is slowing his roll. Garrett has shown he can inspire a 12-4 team. Now we have to see if he can turn around a 2-6 team without losing it.

Completely agree. But he does love his Cowboys.

even when he's right, he's wrong.

He often babbles but a couple of things in this tweet hit home. The words comfortable and stepford. I would like to believe deep down that this team would nevery get comfortable with even losing close games. There are no silver linings in a 6 game losing streak. The stepford thing has been discussed many times on the board but it still bothers me to see it coming from Skip.

He can be a blithering idiot at times but he does love him some Cowboys.

They seem to go prevent on the defense and offense in the 2nd half, Jason would rather lose than remaining aggressive and be blamed for a Switzer IMO.

Captain Clap has gotten comfortable. He knows he'll get another pass, there's no fear of losing his job.

Great analogy. That's about where my mind is too. Perhaps we are on the proverbial cusp. We won't really know until Romo returns to the saddle.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

more people should call out Jason Carrot.

how he gets a pass is beyond me. He isn't a new coach. Newer coaches have more success than him.

 

[Alexander]

The 8 and 8 years could have been 5 and 11 years without Romo. And I can see where the same robotic happy just to fight a fight and lose thing might be a problem. If the message after losing six straight is still that, perhaps Bayless is right.

I'm not a fan of the Red Clapper, but I won't listen to Skip Bayless's trolling about it. I don't even think he really loves the Cowboys, I think it's all for show. I'll never forgive him for his cowardice when he said those things about Aikman, and was run out of town for it.

I hear you man. I'm addicted to their show primarily for the entertainment value vice real substance. Don't get me wrong. Stephen A (IMO) is a beast when it comes to anything NBA related and I suck that up. NFLwise, mostly just entertainment. I DVR it every day and actually watch it on avg 3 nights a week.

Oooh. I don't know the Aikman history. I must research.

Oh ok! That was quick. Yeah. I recall the gay insinuation quite clearly but didn't recall it being Skip. That's hilarious. I do recall saying to myself it had to be some mediot clown trying to gain some street cred when that mess came out.
