The coaches aren't to blame

[FLCowboyFan]

You would be even more upset with Garrett if he had gone for it and didn't make it.

But they would have respected him for trying. Right now it feels like the coaches aren't willing to take any risks.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

at this point its just the entire team/organization.

I dont care who is to blame. offensive, defense, Running game, coaches. special teams, refs, injuries, salary cap, bad contracts, management, bad drafts, the easter bunny, miley cyrus and the taliban......

go ahead, just make up another excuse...pick one, anything....it will work.

Its another L. so, now we go through the emotional false hope wishing well, and say, ...... if we beat TB, and Romo gets back ,, NFCE is bad....maybe we could.....

even if we do win the NFCE, its one and done. But I dont think we will have to even worry about it.

Next year......

Dave Campo never lost five games in a row.

If Campo was our coach today he would have lost 6 of the last 5 games. Be careful what you wish for.

I agree with a lot of the OP.
The players that you have out there have to make plays

Lucky on the misdirection has a hole as big as Texas and inexplicably keeps running to the sidelines instead of taking a big gain .

Dez smoked Sherman on a go route and cassel underthrows him by a mile

Even the gadget play had a chance. Hanna had a step but the blocking breaks down and dmc gets blasted just as he lets it go.


Three plays where the players failed to make a play that was there to be made

Hey, you know who never lost five games in a row as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys?

Dave Campo.

Im optimistic every week and even on Sunday when we are going into a game. I cant remember ONE time in the past 40 years where I wasnt optimistic and confident we would win any game we played. Every season I think a Super Bowl win is a real possibility. In spite of my optimistic fandom, I cant for the life of me understand how the Red Kool Aid drunks are so hell bent on exonerating him for EVERYTHING and consider him blameless in every aspect related to the team and wins and losses.

Its amazing really. It truly is. Its like they're under some spell.

If Red were, I mean would have been coaching any one of the other 31 teams in the league he would have been collecting his unemployment checks for several years now.

To many think he's the next Landry. He's not even close, and some just won't admit the were wrong to even think he was.

 

[Rockport]

So, if you were a coach of a team and someone asked you who was ultimately responsible for your team's losses, what would you say?

Dumb question. Good coaches never call out a player.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

He did threaten deep. Maybe you missed that. Good coaching gave us a chance in this game. Bad QB'ing lost it.

We didn't threaten to throw past the first down markers. Especially on 3rd down.

It's a joke to watch out there.

Garrett is like everyone else. TONY---SAVE US.

Weak.

Hey, you know who never lost five games in a row as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys?

Dave Campo.

Sad but true

 

[Joe_Fan]

The Cowboys lost this game for one reason and one reason only. Ineffective QB play. Not coaching, not lack of a RB, not defense and not special teams. Cassel just isn't getting it done and Weeden before him.

Who so you think calls the plays? When both Weeden and Cassel are having the exact same gameplan called for them it's coaching.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

If Campo was our coach today he would have lost 6 of the last 5 games. Be careful what you wish for.

I'm not wishing for Dave Campo.

I am merely pointing out five-game losing streaks are a rarity, especially for this franchise. Even the dregs of the NFL find a way to win one out of every four or five games.

 

[Kaiser]

We gained a total of 220 yards, our starting RB averaged 3.2 yrds/carry, and our QB averaged 3.9 yards per pass. I'm not sure what light you're seeing.

We have almost no passing game and Seattle is tied for 4th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per attempt. We weren't playing Commanders today.

I respectfully disagree. We are a much better and different team with Romo....or any competent NFL QB that can read a defense and throw the ball accurately for more than 10 yards, for that matter.

 

[Joe_Fan]

Not the coaches.

Can I please have what you're smoking?

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

He did threaten deep. Maybe you missed that. Good coaching gave us a chance in this game. Bad QB'ing lost it.

This qualifies as a contender for funniest post of the season.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

serious question here, If Romo has to sit out the rest of the year, and retires, do you think Garrett will ever win a game again as a head coach?

 

[Satchel89]

And it will go to 6 after next Sunday. The Eagles on Sunday night at home. That's really pathetic for me to say that because I absolutely hate the Eagles but they'll win. And they suck but the Cowboys suck more. What a horrible season

Speculation is a weak retort to an undeniable fact.

I say this even though I share your preference for Garrett.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

I respectfully disagree. We are a much better and different team with Romo....or any competent NFL QB tha can read a defense and throw the ball accurately for more than 10 yards, for that matter.

were better. this is true. Romo gives us a shot... but I have that 8-8 feel to this team. Last year I thought there was more purpose. Like the players played with and for each other......I dont get that from these guys. hope i am wrong.
