Jerry Jones: 'I expect success' - Dallas Cowboys Forum

RS12 · 11-22-2012

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jerry Jones has consistently said he likes the direction of the Dallas Cowboys under coach Jason Garrett, but the owner/general manager called that kind of talk "hollow" after the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day loss.

The 38-31 loss to the Washington Redskins dropped the Cowboys to 5-6 this season, putting them in serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

The Cowboys failed to come back from a 25-point halftime deficit against the Redskins, the fourth consecutive home game the Cowboys have trailed by double digits.

"That would be real difficult right now because you would have to point to things like comebacks, and that's hollow when you are not winning the game," Jones said. "Or last week, we win one (against the Cleveland Browns) and we have to come back to win it, but we don't win it playing well. So that's hollow right now."

Jones noted that Garrett had not "lost the team," meaning the Cowboys continue to play hard. That, however, is meeting minimum requirements, not Jones' expectations for a proud franchise that has won only one playoff game in the last 15 seasons and employed six coaches during that span.

"I don't want to be talking about looking through," Jones said. "Our expectations were to compete for the playoffs and then whatever else we can get when you get there, compete for. We know you've got to be playing well when you get there. We've had some setbacks on some injuries, but that's not the difference out here right now at all."

And saying the O line was headed in the right direction if I remember.

Jerry is a joke. A bad joke.

It's bad enough that we have to endure losing and a poor performance week after week, but I don't know how much longer I can endure Jerry's post-game comments. Why can't he stop rubbing salt in our wounds? He really believes the Cowboys fan base is stupid.

I watched that interview on the website, and while he didn't seem angry or overly upset, it's encouraging that he said the injuries weren't an excuse.

Losing to the Skins at home on turkey day hurts. Are you listening Jerry?

Love your O stats with Garrett minus Sparano.

Garrett is clearly clueless as HC and can't even handle OC duties.

Jerry and Garrett.....

If the blind lead the blind...........

i've got news for you

many of our fans are stupid

just read this board for a sampling of the over the top crazy sunshine pumping that goes on by allegedly "football smart" fans

we get crazy statements like

its a process and it is only garretts second year as HC (completely ignoring that he has been OC for 5+ years)

great defences are built through a good secondary becasue 'this is now a passing league'

we dont need a real NT for our 3-4 (clearly bellichick and lebeau know nothing about the 3-4)

out OL is struggling because costa is hurt (a long shot, who has strugled all last season, and has not been on the field for more than 2 games at a time this season)

garrett is a great OC and HC (mistly becasue he gives great PCs and talks a good game in cliches)

and on and on

all you can do is shake your head

Here's yet another serving of BS from our resident spinmaster. Pardon me while I regurgitate.

When you hood wink the fans and still make a killing at the ticket booth and millions at the merchandise counter, you would be smiling too!!

I just wish he would shut up and fad into oblivion. I could go my entire life without hearing or reading another thing from Mr. Jones and be very very happy.

Sadly, there is only one way this will happen . . . . . . . .
