No disagreement.Okay, even factoring in that the defense was still more to blame, Garrett is the HC and ultimately responsible for both sides of the ball.

Um, no.That's basically the definition of punitive. Punishment for faults, his fault being all the things you say make him not good enough like clock mismanagement and lack of dedication to the run.
That's absolutely true.Okay, even factoring in that the defense was still more to blame, Garrett is the HC and ultimately responsible for both sides of the ball.
I wasn't arguing. Booze said "Schmitty?"Then why is it part of your argument?
I didn't disagree with that. Though I'd also note that there were positives on offense as well as negatives.I think the point JJT was making was, the offense a problem too, even if the numbers might appear otherwise. And I'd agree with that.
My point was about the play the media gets from aiming its criticism. Here, JJT is blaming the offensive staff and players, but in the end the only criticism that gets any response is blaming Romo.So basically he is blameless?
If he ultimately is the dumb shit responsible for abandoning the run in games like the Green Bay debacle, then he deserves every bit of it.Watch, this article is setting Romo up to take the blame for not handing the ball off.
He definitely called out of a run on his first interception in that game, but you see how easy it is to fall into the trap? No one in the NFL is more polarizing than Tony Romo.If he ultimately is the dumb shit responsible for abandoning the run in games like the Green Bay debacle, then he deserves every bit of it.
Yeppers.So basically he is blameless? I think Jerry Jones is the Anti-Christ, but until someone proves he actually tells Jason Garrett what plays to call, I fail to see how you can blame every little fricking thing on him.
It is different when you have a 5-11 team.
Bad is bad.
But when you end up 8-8 and a couple of those losses are arguably on the idiotic playcalling when the team was ahead and in control, what then?
And when you kill two games a year on a team talented enough to go 8-8 despite that, you're screwing the team out of the playoffs every year.But you refuse to acknowledge the problem outright and you fricking know it.
There is always the "well, it is not the biggest problem". Just like "oh, I think he's an average coach, but....".
Jason Garrett, in practically every season since he became the full time head coach, has had a minimum of two games per season where you can directly pin a loss on his ineffectiveness. Period.
We can bitch about Jerry over and over again, but this is just a simple fact that most people acknowledge.
Except you.
LolwutThe notion that the Cowboys kicked FG's instead of scoring TD's too often is not true. It may have been true for one or 2 games, but the Cowboys were Top 5 in the NFL in redzone scoring. The biggest problem with the Cowboys offense was the failure to convert 3rd downs, but make no mistake: the Cowboys had a very good offense. A mediocre offense doesn't score 27+ points a game:

Perhaps more important than the success of the offense in 2013 is the fact that they are a work in progress, and a team that shows a significant amount of positive changes since the Garrett regime took over:

I like JJT quite a bit, but he is over overly negative, like he is intentionally trying to be a counter-balance to the kool-aid drinkers at the Mothership.
Garrett has been in charge of just the offense for 7 years now. How long do they get the "work in progress" excuse?Perhaps more important than the success of the offense in 2013 is the fact that they are a work in progress, and a team that shows a significant amount of positive changes since the Garrett regime took over.
Yes, I'm sorry. I forgot to leave this in my last post when discussing Garrett's offensive coaching style.Deuce...please post a counter point of an article you wrote at another site.
