Many people, including myself blame last nights game on our own blunders. In no specific order 1) Missed FG 2) The fumble before the half 3) Penalties...A lot of us have the mentality that last nights performance was more of a fluke win for Washington than anything else and we will be alright moving forward...
The only real issue I have is that, this team has proven time and time again that this is not a fluke..it has happened plenty of times in the past and it happened again last night. With that being said, if nothing changes, why wont it happen again?
In my opinion, this team plays dangerous football, on offense at least..With the type of defense that we have, this team does not and should not play that way. I have never been one to complain about Jason Garrett's play calling and to be honest I do no think he is the man to blame..However, at some point, Garrett or Wade or somebody else for that matter, has to understand that our approach on offense does not fit our team. When you play the way we play offensively it maximizes the amount of mistakes we are going to make. It used to be interceptions with Romo, then it was porous oline play and oline penalties..It seems as the oline play has improved some, aside from Barron, but the penalties are still there.
Again, this is not so much a knock on Garrett as it is our players. The players continue to fail to execute the way we are trying to play. I believe if we dumbed down our offense considerably it would do light years on the scoreboard. Mistakes would be minimized and while our points wouldn't necessarily be maximized because of the conservative approach, we would be doing better on the scoreboard than we have been. Our guys just can never seem to get out of their own way and in order to ensure that doesn't happen, the only real way in my opinion to solve it is to dumb things down and play more conservative.
