Lol those werent 0-16 teams, try again
Cam Lawrence, Ernie Sims, Jarius Wynn, Everett Brown, Nick Hayden, and Corey Irvin were all starters or major rotation players that game. You want to blame Garrett for that?
Same here. I was at that game. How I didn't get kicked out for yelling, "RUN THE ******* FOOTBALL!" over and over (in club seats) is pure luck. I was livid.That was the game I made the final decision that Garrett was never going to be a great coach.
Ahead by 25. Murray had run for over 100 yards in the first half. During the second half, with a enormous lead, Garrett decides to pass only (Murray got 3 carries in the 2nd half I believe) in order to protect that lead.
Unbelievable.
Blowout on thanksgiving will get that seat pretty hotHow isn’t Garrett’s seat getting warm yet?
They start losing to these mediocre teams coming up and look out. I'm sure we'll get a great response from Jerry and more encouragement from Garrett though.Blowout on thanksgiving will get that seat pretty hot
Even with those players we were leading by 24 points after the half. DeMarco was running well in the game. But we still lost because JG thought it was better to go pass happy while leading by 24 points. Good coach do not lose games like that. JG has done it repeatedly.
2011 vs Lions was another game we lost in that fashion. We were leading 27-3 after the first half. We lost 34-30
"We didn't play 60 minutes."They start losing to these mediocre teams coming up and look out. I'm sure we'll get a great response from Jerry and more encouragement from Garrett though.
We scored over 30 points. Meanwhile we had LB who were biting hard on playaction and motionlessly staring down the QB after getting into their drops. Cam Lawrence is perhaps the dumbest football player I have ever seen except maybe Sims.
Further, Romo was given multiple plays each down and picked one based on formation. For all we know he checked into passes ad nauseum. Nevermind the pick he threw on our side of the field.
That's my point. A good HC would tell his QB to run the ball and not give him an option to pass.
I know you think you have a foolproof plan here but we did score10 points in the second half. Perhaps they could have run out the clock or perhaps we would have gotten 3 and outs instead of those points and lost by multiple scores. As it was we won top.
We did run the ball 5 times our first drive of the second half, punted, and GB charged right down and scored the next drive.
The 500 lbs gorilla is the defense giving up 37 points and surrendering TD on every 2nd half possession. That was the worst defense in Cowboys history after all.
Your post was implying we didn't win because we had lesser players playing. Those lesser players were good enough for us to be up by 24 points in the half so your argument is not valid. The players were good enough to win that game had the game been managed better by the coaches.
Garrett is becoming a meme on reddit now lol.
