First off I want to say, this is not a Garret apologist, I think it’s time for a new coach but you will see some facts in this post.
This franchise is the most unluckiest franchise in the NFL(besides maybe the Lions). Jerry must’ve sold his soul.
Yes we are even more unlucky than the Browns.
The Browns have had one winning season in the last 15 years and it was the year we had their first round pick. That’s sad.
At the end of the day, you always want a genius at coach and a master technician at QB but does that always matter?
Really?
I firmly believe a lot of luck comes into play.
Mike Zimmer was staring a 0-2 playoff record in the face after watching his team collapse in the second half at home. He didn’t coach the Saints defender to whiff on a tackle. Instead, Zimmer is now a genius and Case Keenum is a hero by pure luck. Sometimes the better QB and coach are helpless while the ball just bounces the other way.
You can find lots of instances in the NFL where luck and a hot streak wins out over talent or strategy. Look at the Ravens a few years back, the Harbaugh/Flacco connection got on a hot streak at the right time and had a little luck go their way. I don’t think Harbaugh is an amazing coach and Flacco is trash. If they were any good, they would be a little bit more competitive regularly in a weak AFC. They got lucky.
Even the great Brady/Belichick connection can credit at least a couple of their rings to a little luck..not a dominating strategy or overwhelming talent.
Despite his failures as a head coach, Garrett very easily could have had at least two NFCCG appearances if a little luck went our way. I’m not saying I want him as our long term answer at head coach, I’m just stating facts. If Dez “caught it” or if Cook didn’t get the last foot in bounds, our entire analysis of him would be different. If we had a little more luck with Romo, he’s a hall of famer.
I want one of these crazy wins that we can overexaggerate and remember..instead we just get a lot to bad luck and disappointment.
