Apparently your predictive abilities are no better than your analytic ones.

Doubt it. The real tell will be our 6 game stretch following that. Vikings, Lions, Patriots, Bills, Bears, Rams.
If you can't do at least 3-3 in that stretch, you have no chance of the playoffs. And you should probably be gunning for more like 4-2, and then finishing off the Eagles and Skins to end the season.

I think it has to do with how we practice and prepare our players. We clearly don't prepare the backups to step in. Or when we do we don't know how to adjust for their talent or lack of talent. Plus we love keeping backups who are versatile but maybe not a very good backup. We'd rather a center/guard/OT combo as opposed to a guy who is a really good tackle. Or your backup WR is Tavon Austin who is really more of a gimmic guy and less of an actual WR. So when guys get hurt you're stuck playing a gadget player in a real WR role as opposed to having guys who are just really good WRs.

I think it's your latter argument. The staff seems to stress "next man up" and all that, but they just don't have good backups in some places. I think the other problem is probably lack of adjustments.... because of "next man up," they want it to be seamless, but then they don't give Chaz Green enough help and adjust their protections. And then it results in a disaster.

for some reason I cant post in the "Game Day Chatter Thread | Week 7 | Eagles at Cowboys | 10/20/19
thread" so I''m gonna try to reply to one of those posts here:
I cant wait to see a new coach just so we can see the inevitable weeping and gnashing of teeth (but with a deferent set of gripes like replacing the clapping with lip smacking or something similarly non-consequential) when he is unable to overcome the organization albatross jeri & spawn have erected

Bingo, I've been pissing off Dbair for years telling him this very thing.

Jerry Jones is "looking for reasons" to keep Jason Garrett
Posted by Charean Williams on October 21, 2019, 3:06 PM EDT
The Cowboys front office repeatedly expressed public support for Jason Garrett last week in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Both Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones said Garrett's job was not on the line in Sunday’s game against the Eagles.
They weren't lying.
The Cowboys owner, in fact, said he wants to keep Garrett beyond this season after Garrett’s contract expires.
"I am looking for reasons. I'm looking for reasons to keep him," Jones said. "It's merited here. It's hard to get an effective coach and get it locked in with all you have to do retool and redo. I'm comfortable. We have established some security apart from the won-loss. He represents the organization well on and off the field. You don't have to wake up in the morning reading about it."
Jones said no one in the organization and not even his wife, Gene, tried to change his mind after the Cowboys lost back-to-back-to-back games to the Saints, Packers and Jets.
"No. No. No," Jones said. "I'm not pushing back. No one, including me."
The Cowboys responded with a 37-10 victory over the Eagles on Sunday night. They are back in sole possession of first place in the NFC East with a 4-3 record, including 3-0 within the division.
Jones has fired only one coach midseason, and that was Wade Phillips when the Cowboys quit on him during a blowout loss to the Packers in 2010. Since he replaced Phillips as interim head coach after a 1-7 start in 2010, Garrett's players always have played hard for him.
"Head coach, right there beside him the offensive coordinator, the play caller, they're going to get a lot of shots from time to time because we all know it doesn't go right at all [all the time] so get ready," Jones said. "But I've seen him, and I've seen him handle it, but I
ve not seen a concern, and I've experienced it to where players, key players, have an issue with the coach. I haven't seen that with Garrett."
Jones said last week that Garrett "would be a very sought after coach if he were out here in the open market." If that's the case, Jones was asked Sunday night, then why not extend his contract now?
"Do you need my health examination as well? Or my health record?," Jones said. "I'm not going to talk about that, and you know I'm not. Really, I'm not."
Jones also would talk about Urban Meyer's comment that the former Ohio State coach "absolutely" would take the Cowboys job if it were offered. Jones, though, did acknowledge he had seen the Meyer’s quote.
For now, the job is Garrett's. The rest of the season will decide whether he will keep it beyond this season.
Garrett is 81-62 in the regular season in his career, but he has only two playoff victories in three postseason trips and has never advanced beyond the division round.

Yep.
"Also, look at that last sentence. You don't have to wake up in the morning reading about it."
Right, because with most NFL coaches are such outlaws you have to worry about them showing up on the police blotter.
Such a weak reason to keep a mediocre coach. He just doesn't want to admit that he likes things the way they are whether Garrett is actually a good coach or not.

Yeah it's sad because Garrett is confortable to Jerry. They are buddies and he never has to worry about him rocking the boat.
