You keep stating the obvious and what everyone knows. It's got nothing to do with what happened, IN THAT SITUATION. It's just deflection via excuse making.
In the end the head coach decided to TRUST THIS DEFENSE to keep GB from getting into FG range. And he didn't have to, he could have left...
Ahh yes, the "risk averse" loser mentality personified. Meanwhile you cannot square this with Garrett's pregame preaching about "always being aggressive." If you're a attack team, you attack. You don't give their defense what amounted to a free time out.
Can't argue with the bolded. But what...
The playoffs expose and amplify ALL of a team's flaws. And that is exactly what we saw yesterday - ALL of our flaws exposed including the poor run defense, the poor pass defense, and the horrid, idiot head coach.
Can't really argue with any of this, but surprised to see you post it. It could merely be that Romo is a victim too, a buy-in to the Ivy League Ginger crap like Jerry and so many others are, they can't see him for what he really is.
Not only that, but you NEVER think about lining up like you're going for it on 4th and 2, and getting the defense to give you a free first down by using a hard count to make them jump offsides. In fact, you don't even practice it. It's not even on your radar.
People blame Romo for bonehead Romo plays, not for the losing. Bonehead Romo plays were just a continuing symptom of the Ginger disease. Fortunately Dak doesn't commit nearly the number of bonehead plays Romo specialized in.
It's a pattern now, right? 2 years ago at Lambeau, 5 wide and throw long on 4th and 2. Instead of getting the fucking first down. Then now what we saw today. It's a fucking disease.
Well. This fucking hurts. Same feeling I had at the end of SB 13. Pride in the effort and the class, the never say die attitude, the hope for the future, but really sad at the result. Whatta game though, one for the ages.
