the loss of elliot wasnt the problem today, it was the loss of tyron smith, coupled with the very good defensive line of the falcons. the falcons were able to get to prescott and sack him several times today.
Which I blame on Garrett, after the 1st half he should have moved a TE over there to assist, he didn't that is when he proved once again that he really is not all that good of a Head Coach.
Very bad game yesterday! Chaz Green got lit up and the fact that Garrett/Linehan didn't give him any help until later in the game...and didn't take Green out until it was way too late. Epic coaching fail...gotta make better adjustments and coaching decisions. This is an issue with the Boys and been for a while.
The running game wasn't as good without Zeke...which most of us knew. Morris ended up doing pretty good later on.
Was hoping Dak could've done some more scrambling and making those Russell Wilson-esque type plays with his feet and throws on the run. Cant really accurately evaluate Dak's performance without Zeke with Green getting cooked and manhandled so badly.
It wasn't good coaching, because Jason Garret isn't a very good coach. He's mediocre at best. He's the best 8-8 coach in league history. He'll have big seasons, like the 12-4 and 13-3, but most of the time he's just going to coach an 8-8 squad. Now you have to ask yourself was this just a bad game for the Cowboy's or does Elliott really mean this much to the team's offense?

During the entire game Troy Aikman said they needed to help out Green but Garrett left him alone until the very end of the game. Green was awful but all they had to do was slide a tight end over to help out but for some reason they didn't. This vaunted offensive line certainly has taken a giant step backwards. Even with Smith playing they weren't great, but without him....wow! Just terrible.

Oh I know Garrett is a mediocre coach at best. And yes this was a bad game for the Boys....no Smith, no Elliott, and no Lee. Too much to overcome and don't have the coaching and ability to make adjustments to get over all those humps. Defense was looking good and Woods had a great pick....but when Lee went out....it went from good to awful.

Yes the o-line isn't nearly as good as the previous years. A lot has to do with Free retiring and losing Leary to the Broncos. That's 40%...don't forget Collins switching positions....then with Smith being out...and add in Green's horrible play....recipe for disaster.
What I have been saying all along: Garrett is not that good of a coach.
Sean Lee is a great player, when he is healthy. Kind of like Tony Romo. He loves the game, has a passion for the game, but regardless of Spirit, the body just is not there much of the time.
The Line is not as good as last year's. A smart coach found a weakness and exploited it. That is the way the NFL Works
Eagles will probably wipe the field with the Cowboys next week. Cowboys will finish 8-8
We're' done until Jerry is no longer the GM for this franchise. He will never win another ring in his lifetime while he has that position. He wants to fight the NFL, host concerts, and be the personnel guy for this franchise. He is already killing off many people in DFW from the NFL as it is. He is only going to speed that up.

Jerry Jones is some of the problem and pair him with Garrett, and you have the whole problem. Like someone posted above, Garrett is the puppet on strings being motioned by Jerry Jones. Garrett is not a good coach. Never really has been.
