The Garrett (Clap on Clap off) thread

[NoLuv4Jerry]

The Super Bowl champions were coming off a bye week and had two weeks to prepare for a team that is missing their All Pro WR, veteran Pro Bowl QB, and still trying to fill the gap left by their Pro Bowl RB.

And their HC should be fired if he doesn't replace the 2nd team QB with the 3rd team QB, a guy no team wanted at the start of the season?

Because that could really make a difference?

This perception redefines the concept of Fantasy Football..

Remove Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Demonta Freeman from the Falcons starting lineup. Replace them with Sean Renfrew, Tevin Coleman, and Eric Weems. Put them on the field with the Patriots coming off their bye week.

No doubt they remain undefeated, right? If not, then their HC is unimaginative, unprepared and incompetent....right?

Gimme a break.

Im not asking for wins at this point....I would probably celebrate a 1st down!

 

[Junglist]

I'd laugh, but I know for a fact he's doing this because either our dumb fans are yelling on OUR 3rd down, or its one of those "away" games, at home.

The media doesn't mention it because the narrative has already been scripted - and that the Patriots can do anything they want and the league will help them to win games. Especially against the dreaded Cowboys.

People here voice their disappointment with Williams. However, that guy is getting mugged and no flags. However, when we lay one hand on the other team flags are thrown from all directions. The bias is obvious - especially when the commentaries try to cover it up as though it was good play by the other team.

Williams needs to sell the pass interference or holds better, think it was Troy who mentioned the same about our WRs getting mugged because they are not selling the illegal contact.

A completed pass beyond the line of scrimmage is also on my wish list but don't know if my heart could take it at this point.

Yes thats true. However, so does Garrett. He needs to be in the face of the officials and rip them a new one. But now. He is too polite and kind. Which doesn't bode well for our team.

In fact, the entire team should be making a fuss at the officials. Teams get away with what they do because the Cowboys don't say a thing. Its like their suffering from beaten wife syndrome.

The game plan wasn't to win today. Usually their first couple drives are pre set ones that everyone is in sync with and they do some damage. Today they were unsure right out of the gate, and Weeden provided no confidence. We did nothing that surprised New England, on offence atleast. Trying the same thing over and over isn't going to lead to success in this nfl

you can try something new when you have personnel that can carry it out. right now Lucky whitehead is our 4th WR. street's picture is on a milk carton and Beasley is strictly a slot WR (along with white head). we lost our only other mismatch receiving threat in Dunbar. its very easy to defend the cowboys based on their talent. load the box to stop the run or limit it. double witten with a safety and LB underneath. single up the rest of the WRs. Williams can't beat his man off the line and his route repertoire is very limited. street is non existant. my grandma could cover him. Beasley is also limited because of 8, 9 man in the box. add to it Weeden sucks. I don't care if you are billicheck, chip Kelly or whomever, there is no scheme that can take this group and make them great. you can't take a pile of shiet, put parsley next to it and try to sell it for filet mignon.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

If we had an average offense and an HC that does more than chew gum and clap during the game, that Pats team would have also looked average.

Our defense was dominating them. But if you give them that many chances on offense, they are going to eventually score. Especially with the way the rules favor the offense in the current NFL.

when did this defense dominate? its been pretty craappy defense in the second half pretty much all year. what's their excuse? coming out in the second half, they allowed the pats to drive 80 yards for a TD....cowboys held the ball for over 8 minutes. they pin NE inside their own 10. defense gave up a 90 yard drive. when will the defense step up? we are always criticizing and asking the offense to step up. where is marinelli magic? why isn't he taking these guys and having them play like HOFers. we are asking the offensive coaches to take street and scheme him into a great WR. why not the defense?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

They are the best offense going right now yet our defense made them look average for almost two quarters. Had we had an offense today, I doubt they score 30 points today.

Even with our lousy offense, they scored below their season average today.

come on...there are no moral victories. I bet you can go over every game and say their offense made their defense look average for a couple of quarters or their defense made their offense look average. its about 4 quarters of play, and our defense hasn't shown up yet. why is it that the offense always has to carry this team? Pittsburgh defenses carried their teams. giants defenses carried their team. Ravens defenses carried their team. SF defenses carried their team. Denver defense is carrying their team. seattle defense is carrying their team.

Jason Garrett is what he is. A mediocre football coach. For years we've heard excuses why he failed so epically in game managing situations. No other coach in the league could've kept his job because he's Jerry's guy. Then last year after Dallas had a great season everyone kissed his *** including myself. It's clear watching this season without Dez and Romo he isn't good.

The lack of in game adjustments, the lack of a damn spine to go for it knowing you've got an uphill battle and your scrub quarterback managed to finally get you in scoring position, the vanilla schemes, we don't do anything to make things easier on some of these receivers. See it throughout the league. Don't see here in Dallas.

We've seen average coaches have success because of all time great players. Tony Romo if it weren't for the obvious bias against him because he's a Cowboy would be a Hall of Fame quarterback. Dez Bryant is gonna right there with the likes of Randy Moss and Michael Irvin when his career is all said and done. These two guys are why the Cowboys have always been competitive. Even though those 8-8 teams weren't very good they were always in the thick of things because of the greatness of these two guys not Garrett.

He preaches fight that's great how about preaching a less basic offense. How about putting your players in better position to make plays. Even when Dez is in there he just allows him to get doubled and not try and move him around and soften some of that coverage he sees. Romo has bailed this guy out time and time again.

Remember the Green Bay game a few years ago? DeMarco was averaging 7 yards a carry against an atrocious Green Bay run defense and instead of trying to continue to pound away and help an all time bad defense with a very productive back he got pass happy even though it was obvious to anyone with a brain we should've been running the ball.

The last game we played against the Pats he got conservative and settled for 3 instead of going for the score when you're on the road against the best team in the league at that time. We all know about the Arizona debacle in that same year. Icing your own freaking kicker. Just unbelievable how many times this guy has cost us a football game.

Dallas showed last year they can win despite such a clown for a head coach because of the elite talent on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe he's smart enough to realize we aren't winning a damn thing with Brandon Weeden and starts Cassell and that gives us a spark and we can manage to win a few games and then Romo as usual will save Garrett's ***. It's just frustrating to see Garrett continue to hold this team back.

can't you say the same for every coach? where will billichek be without brady and gronk? lets take Rodgers out and see how competitive is GB. lets take out matt ryan and Julio jones and lets see Atlanta compete. jimmy Johnson was a great coach, he had 6 HOFers and greatest OL ever!!!. he went to Miami and didn't accomplish squat. was he an average coach? bill walsh had Montana and Rice and Taylor and a great OL and copuple of more HOFers. was he an average coach? you can't win in this league without talent. there may have been 3 or 4 coaches in history who could scheme things in such ways to get players to exceed their abilities. the rest , yes all the rest need talent to win. so now you are faulting garrett for winning with Romo. that's asinine. you can't win with weeden (who got booted out of Cleveland for Gawd's sake), or Street or Williams or Lucky Whitehead.

but lets also not put the entire onus on offense. our defense has been average. very average and below average for several years. where is the marinelli magic we keep hearing about? maybe time to move on from him. our defense has ton invested in it and they are way under performing.

this team is not as talented as we all thought they were or we are extremely thin. the difference between Dez and Williams is huge. we are now finding out how bad Williams is and how limited he is.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Gotta say Garrett's use of a TO to save a penalty when the ball was on the one foot mark was another poor game management decision from him. Took me back to some of his earlier coaching days.

Then backed up on our own 15 with Weeden showing no abilty to move the team he throws the ball allowing the Pats to save time outs which eventually gave them a last second fg.

Good job Red.

so dammned if you do. damned if you don't. somebody else said we didn't go for it and played conservative. here you say why did we go for it and not punt it. so in your opinion we should have played not to lose? that was our best chance?

Brady was sacked more in the first half than he has all year. Cowboys hasn't sacked a QB 5 times in the first half since 30 years ago.

When your offense only get 1 first down in the 1st half, it's hard to dominate any good team all game. Watch the game.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I seriously may not watch another game until Romo gets back..


These coaches are awful..

I watch Brady and Brees both do 1 read passes most of the game and we got Weeden out there in a non deceptive offense that is predictable.


What do these coaches expect is going to happen if the whole world knows what we are going to do?

so please tell me how you would come up with a scheme with Street and Lucky Whitehead...those are your WRs.....

I did until I got sick of it. what's the excuse for defense to allow an 80 yard drive starting the second half? what about a 90 yard drive? those were the first two drive for NE coming out in the second half.

Denver defense is carrying their team. seattle defense is carrying their team.

What moral victory? Did Pitt, Giants and Ravens offense only get 1 first down in first half and scored no TDs? I don't remember them winning too many games where their offense only scored 6 points. Especially against a team like the Pats.

All those teams can score TDs lol. Man we cant get 1. I cant remember the last time we didnt score a TD

the reference to those teams wasn't just this past week. those teams had defenses that carried their team. our defense hasn't done that in 6 years. if garrett is at fault for anything is not focusing on the defense. instead the onus is on offense every week to win.

few years back, GB won a game scoring 9 points. their defense held the other team to 3. this year they scored 17 in one game. their defense gave up 3. Denver won yesterday scoring 9 points offensively. this defense allows 42% 3rd down conversion. and is on pace for a 10 turnover year. that's awful. they have completely disappeared in the second half of games. where is the defensive adjustments?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

All those teams can score TDs lol. Man we cant get 1. I cant remember the last time we didnt score a TD

it was in NO game. we scored 20. against Atlanta we scored 28....

I think Atlanta would have had less yards in the second half if our defense wouldn't show up. same with NO game. didn't make a difference 11 or no man on the field. those teams toyed with our defense.

 

[CATCH17]

so please tell me how you would come up with a scheme with Street and Lucky Whitehead...those are your WRs.....

Let me ask you this...

How many times did we see the Saints and Patriots simply get the ball in players hands with basically just pitch and catch passes?

These pick plays make football easy and they are super effective.

They held the Colts and the Titants to 7 and 10 points last year. They held the EaGirls to 3 points in 2013. It's not like the defense hasn't had games where they shut other teams offense down.
