Adjustments (Or Lack There Of)

[Whatever]

During the game, Tony Romo said that with a new OC you're usually good for a game or two just because there is no tape for teams to gameplan against.

Well the Packers shut our offense down in the 2nd half. So either Lazor totally changed his gameplan...or the Packers reacted to what they saw in the 1st half on both sides of the ball.

When you get to the playoffs or big primetime games, generally teams have equal personnel to us...so strategy comes into play more. We generally always get out-adjusted by the other team.

Thoughts?

The 2nd area where I think our coaches fail is developing young players...and I don't necessarily mean in games. I mean in practice too.

In fairness, Lazor was limited in what kinds of adjustments he could make likely because he only has a fraction of the playbook installed.  

I don't know how much it would have mattered, because Marvin ALWAYS seems to stick his nose in the Offensive game plan when we get a lead and goes ultra conservative.  He's the epitome of a "play not to lose" coach.

Still, given the circumstances, 17 points out of the offense was a good effort considering the change of coordinators a week ago.  We had a 7 point lead with 3 minutes left, and you'd like to hope the D(the strength of the team), could hold them out of the endzone.
