Let's not forget that Garrett couldn't get his offense to play to their potential all season. Now all of a sudden he has to motivate the offense and defense and miraculously they make a complete turnaround against a really good opponent.

I'm not one for conspiracies but there was definitely some collusion to get Phillips out in Dallas-Ft. Worth.
I don't think it was collusion so much as players just quit. Particularly on defence. The offense had struggled all year and lost games they should have won, and wasted a couple very good defensive performances. After about 1-5 and Romo going down, players on defence just started mailing it in. They could get no pressure in the last 3 games whatsoever. But then again, collusion wouldn't surprise me.
