I got a Fantasy update on Gallup, his status has changed from Out to Questionable so it appears he is close to a return. Let's see if he practices this week.
I understand that Garrett isn't Sean Payton, but he gets zero credit for wins and all the blame for losses from some of y'all.
He is a known quantity. If you want to see cartwheels and high fives for winning 8 games, you're going to be disappointed, because that isnt how the internet works. A decade in and he hasn't sniffed a conf title game, let alone any thoughts of actually winning a super bowl. That is the goal and he isnt good enough to come close to achieving it.
Heres a little red meat for the 6 of you who run around making dozens upon dozens of posts on this thread complaining about how underrated and mistreated poor old Jason Garrett is - last year in the playoffs he outcoached a guy with a
super bowl ring. Sure, the next week a 10yr old coach and a 77 year old running back dominated him, but still, for that one day he coached circles around pete carroll.
Here's some facts for ya.
- Only one other coach has more wins since 2016 than red. (I'll save the math for ya, that doesn't equate to 8 wins a year)
- 10-1divisional record in his last 11
- 3 division titles in the last 5 years.
The rams were a better team last season. Is Garrett the best coach? No. But he's certainly not a bad or even average coach. His coaching record is proof of that.
When you have 5 super bowls already, all that really matters is Super Bowls. Garrett got owned twice by McCarthy and Rodgers in the divisional round, he got owned by mcveigh and Goff in the divisional round. To go even further back, Phillips got owned by coughlin in the divisional round. Notice how I keep bringing up the divisional round?
It's all about championships and going to the super bowl. We haven't done that since the 90's. If we don't make it to at least the NFC title game this year, the Jones family needs to go in another direction at head coach.
Most cowboy fans are probably a little uneasy this week. We just got beat by a superior coach who was fighting with one hand ( his dominant hand) tied behind his back. Our game plan was pathetic and it didn't even come close to actually working. Should have been more aggressive from the get go. Too many runs on first down. Look familiar? The Scott linehan special.
If you want to celebrate division titles then go be a fan of the Houston Texans.
