Win or go home

[cml750]

Under Garrett we have NEVER won a win or go home game. I hope that changes today!!! It will be the start of me starting to like Garrett as a head coach.

I really expect to win this game. Detroit is an average team overall. We are not.

I don't know if you can call a 11-5 team average. I do agree we're the better team, though.

Time for that trend to end then.

Their defense is better than average, but when you look at other aspects of this team, one could easily argue they are average. They rank 28th in the league this year in rushing yards per game. They also only rank 22nd in points scored per game. The Rams, Buffalo and the Vikings averaged more.

While Stafford threw for a lot of yardage, there were 13 QBs who threw for more TD.s this year.

Their offense is actually below average.

Regardless, they are gonna get handled today.

So, you're sayin' the 53 man roster and the men that play the game don't matter.... whether we win or lose - it's only because of Garrett? lol

Well his bad decisions have cost us the playoffs three years running and we have never won a win or go home under him so yea I do hold the HC accountable. Did Tom Landry or Jimmy Johnson matter? Did Campo matter??

This season the Cowboys have taken revenge/avenged previous problems. Today it looks like it's Garrett turn.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Don't care if we win only by one point as long as we win. So let's go cowboys!

Technically last year's week 16 game against Washington was "win or go home", and we won that. There's also been a number of huge regular season wins that have kept our playoff hopes alive this year, and the last few years. So the whole "win or go home" narrative is simply lame, to put it bluntly.

Question? Tell me the number of good to great calls Garrett made the last 3 years that even got them to 8-8?

tick, tick, tick....

You can't.

Being a head coach is so much more than 2 or 3 on-field decisions made in the mist of 1000's of them - and, that's just on the field when the game is on. How about the 1000's of decisions that have resulted in a TEAM that is focused, one that FIGHTS, one the takes no prisoners, one that uses no excuses, one that executes one play at a time, one that gets the absolute BEST out of every player, one that has changed virtually the entire roster in 3 years while being competitive enough to vie for the playoffs each year, one that doesn't used injuries as excuses even when it is obvious they impact the team (see 20 defensive linemen last year - 20), one that has the BEST coaches that are completely bought into the HC's system, one that has an incredible hope and a future, one that is learning and growing and getting better and better (no 2 or 3 blunders this year - on the field).

Will you guys and those that hate Garrett ever be happy?

Most predicted 3 to 7 wins... We have 12. Can't you just enjoy it and give Garrett the credit?

Enjoy the playoff's. The Cowboys are in them!

Never has been does not mean never will be. Using the "Law of Averages", that just means the Boys are closer to getting it done. Garrett is a keeper.

I can point to at least two games a season, arguably more, that he cost us with bad clock/game management that cost us games. If we won just one of those games we were in the playoffs. We also lost win or go home games to division rivals(ughh!!!) to end the last three seasons. I apologize but I can not forget the mistakes he has made as I am not wired that way. I am happy with the team this year but I EXPECT a win today or I will start calling for Garrett's head again. I hope Garrett finally makes a statement today so I can move on from ALL his mistakes. All he has to do is win and I will be happy. If he keeps winning I might even start singing Garrett praises but it all starts with a win today.

 

[Flinger]

OK cml750....

Calling you out!

You satisfied? Gutsy calls (4th and 6 - are you kidding me? Of course, if we hadn't made it - you would have called it a terrible coaching blunder), never quit, relentless - a TEAM with character.

Start your praises - and, do it here!!!

lol

The Philly games where beat them to get into the playoffs and then beat them in the playoffs. Unless you are talking about that made up stat that only gets brought up when romo loses.

I've never liked the "Win or go home" stat used by the media.

They just used it as a means to hate on the team.
