I have serious issues with Jason Garrett and his coaching/playcalling because I honestly feel like he coaches to the level of the opposition.
You look at the past few years, and we've been very competitive against the "elite" teams we've played against. Maybe not Seattle and Chicago last year, or Green Bay in 2010, but the 49ers game in 2011 (we won), New Orleans game on Thanksgiving when Roy Williams fumbled the game away, last year vs. Atlanta, last year vs. Ravens, the Patriots game in 2011 where we should have won but Garrett got super conservative at the end and gave Brady the ball back with 2 mins left. The list goes on. Point being, we've actually showed out very well against the upper echelon of teams.
Then you look at games like Cardinals in 2011 (icing our on kicker)
Browns last year (we won, but in OT, 23-20)
The Jets game in 2011
The Dolphins game in 2011 on Thanksgiving (barely won, 20-19)
It's pathetic. You see the REAL coaches out there doing shyt like this? You ever see Jim Harbaugh or Bill Belichick or even Sean Payton struggle against teams like the Browns, Dolphins, and Cardinals?? I'll give you a game here and there. Team loses focus or is fatigued from travel/MNF/Thursday game. But the issue with the Cowboys, is that we "shock the world" when we play good teams and either beat them or play them close, then we lay total eggs against bottomfeeders ALL THE TIME.
I wouldn't be surprised if we lost to this KC team by 2 scores. I also wouldn't be surprised if we beat them by 2 scores. This is the state of the Cowboys, and it's infuriating. Every year you hear the players and coaches talk about having a "sense of urgency" and "the window is closing," but all we see is garbage playcalling, coaching, game-planning, and execution.
