We were Outcoached

[ConstantReboot]

There's about 2 minutes left and we had 3 time outs. Before you let the offense go out there, Garrett should have had a talk with Romo and the entire offense to calm him down a bit and to assess the situation. I don't think he did that whatsoever.

Most coaches talk to their QB and let them know about the situation. He should tell Romo don't throw an INT and don't lose this game. Or he could have sent a play in for a delay draw run up the middle. Chew some time off the clock. But no. No changes were done to compensate for the situation at hand.

Garrett is not that type of coach to make changes during certain situations. He just carries on on the sidelines wondering what to do and let his staff do the work. Thats the problem with this team and Garrett. When you need the coach to lead he doesn't.

I remember what Parcell's said about Romo. That he needs to be coached through certain situations or he will mess things up. Well Garrett didn't do that. He didn't talk things through with Romo and didn't calm him down.

This is the problem with Garrett. He lacks a football mindset. He is probably good at running a business. But when we need a coach to make things happen, he just doesn't know what to do.

Thus I think Garrett is not the right coach for Romo and this team and it showed during todays game.

Aren't we always out-coached?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

What Dallas should have done, in hindsight, was simply let Denver score. Get the ball back down 55-48 and see if you can't force overtime with about 1:30 to play and two timeouts.

What did Garrett see from his defense to make him think they were going to force a quick three and out? Did the Broncos even punt today? NO!!

 

[loublue22]

yes, if only he had simply told him not to throw an INT

We had 2 minutes left and all of our timeouts. Yet we came out with shotgun and spread the field out. Denver countered with 6 DBs. A more logical coach would have probably ran the ball during that situation to just let nerves calm down a bit. But not Garrett. His lack of football sense during critical situations didn't help at all during this time.

I agree, but all game long, Denver couldn't stop the pass. Looking back on the pick, the Broncos made a better play than Romo made a bad one. I could clearly see Escobar in Romo's line of sight and the Denver DB dove right in front of him.

they should have run the ball out of that formation. That's where they are most effective. But on a 3 man rush, Smith gets pushed into Romo's foot, not letting follow thru. Romo should have thrown the check down to Murray, but the whole thing went bad.

I agree, completely outcoached. The genius of John Fox to have Peyton Manning throw an early 4th qtr interception, and the utter foolishness of having Romo throw a late 4th qtr interception makes no sense. If Garrett's strategy was to score 52 points, instead of 48, we would've won by 1.

 

[ConstantReboot]

I would actually call for a delayed draw or a quick slant or even a screen. Yes its easy to say after the game. But there was 6 DBs back there and we didn't take advantage of that situation. NOT taking advantage of that situation is a coaching problem.

More so lack of coaching is what kills us during crunch time. Have you ever seen Garrett win a close game like this? Not me. Maybe if he knew how to coach things would be different but he doesn't. Garrett lacks ability to coach during crunchtime and our record shows it.

AND you hold no players accountable ?

amazing

you do know that the coach does not actually play

Did I say its not the Romo's fault? I never said that at all.

Just saying that when you need Garrett to pull thru during crunchdown, he doesn't come through or doesn't make the right calls. We had 3 time outs and he never used it. Maybe he should have run the ball at that time?

Garrett is not a good crunchtime coach and it showed many times before during other games and especially today.

I've been saying this for past two years. As a coach, it's his job to understand the tendencies of your opponents as well as your own players.

Since when is this news?

We get out coached each and every week.

 

[Chuck 54]

We were not out coached on the offensive side of the ball...ridiculous.
We did all our damage in coming back and taking the lead by spreading them out with no back in the backfield, and Tony picked them apart. Once the game was tied, Tony seemed to have tightened up in taking that coverage sack, and hen he forced a throw that wasn't horrible, but the defender made a great play. They were only rushing three players, and Tony seemed to become a statue instead of moving to find an open guy.

1. That penalty on Allen on the kickoff return was a back breaker.
2. Tony had a great game, but he made the critical mistake at crunch time again...we cannot win without him, but?
3. Our LBs are overmatched in coverage, and our DL is starting to look like what they are.

A great game that we could have won, but the bottom line is that Denver is great; San Diego is playing like a great team right now, and we are slightly above average at best.

when Garrett's on the sidelines we're always out coached.

LOL, Rediculous. I can see that you will try to twist anything to your anti Garrett Agenda. After this post i can never take anything you write seriously.

What makes you think Romo wasn't calm?

 

[Doomsday]

My biggest frustration was on the 2nd and goal from the 14. How do you put a LB on Wes Welker in that situation? Scandrick played him well all game, no way am I taking him off Welker with the game on the line. They went to a prevent zone and of coarse Manning ate them up for it. Im sick of watches coaches, out coach themselves.

 

[egn22]

Great thread, agree completely w OP and whoever said we shoulda let them score. We have the talent, but this coach...
