ARLINGTON, Texas -- Here's guessing Sean Payton had one heck of a happy Thanksgiving.

The suspended, soon-to-be free-agent coach's leverage keeps getting stronger. The likelihood of his good buddy Jerry Jones making a high-dollar pitch to hire Payton away from the New Orleans Saints increases every time the Dallas Cowboys perform like a poorly prepared pee wee team in Jerry's $1.2 billion football palace.

Matthew Emmons/US PresswireJason Garrett is giving Jerry Jones less and less reason to keep faith in him with the Cowboys' continued poor play, particularly at the start of games.


The rest of the Cowboys' season is really about Jason Garrett justifying his boss' wavering belief that he's the right guy to coach this team.

Can you come up with any good reasons right now?

Jerry couldn't after the Cowboys followed the normal format of digging a huge hole at home and fighting hard in a failed comeback bid.

It continues to be all process and no progress under Garrett. It reached the point after a 38-31 to the Washington Redskins on Thanksgiving Day that even Jerry had to admit any talk about believing this mediocre team is headed in the right direction rings hollow.

Thanks of posting. Some of those are pretty funny.

JJ isnt optimistic about the playoffs? lol No kidding.

I wish everyone would just stop talking about Payton coming here to coach. Hes not coming, and the last thing this team needs is some bounty, dirty coach calling the shots.

Didn't we trade up and give up a second round pick to get Mo and avoid being burned on long passes? Didn't we spend $50 million to upgrade the other CB to avoid being burned by long passes?

It's just a lame excuse for why his D let them score every possession.

I agree, both he and Garrett seem to heap praise on the opponent after a loss as though they just played the '85 Bears, '99 Rams or something. As if to say that they are so great that they would've beaten any team today. It's a cop out imo.

They're just getting an infinitely better ROI and Rob is starry eyed.

Interesting comment about Garrett being judged on playoffs.

Hadn't heard that before, but that's pretty telling.

That's the one that jumped out to me as well. It's almost like Jerry is saying, "If we don't make the playoffs, Garrett is gone."

I'm good with that.

That one is on the safety. Completely blew the coverage.

......its becoming apparent, can have all the CB-power ya' want, with no safety help or coordination its worthless, especially when pass rush is inconsistent

Saftety and OLine offseason... Church will return hopefully, would've been nice to at least see Johnson with some limited game action to evaluate, apparently practice evaluation lacks with coaching staff.

You are right, we better stick with Garrett, after all he is a hell of a coach with his 18-17 overall record and his 6-10 record in the last sixteen games, (which by the way, 5 of the 6 wins came against teams with losing record with the other one being this year’s opening game), but I get you who would want Sean Payton with his 62-34 record, with 4 playoff appearances in 6 years, reaching the championship game once and winning a super bowl on another but hey, to each his own.

Can we also add completely resurrecting a terrible franchise in there too?

Yeah man. Is he bringing Drew Brees with him?

He most certainly won’t, but we have a good QB here and with good coaching, play calling and leadership could be one of the game’s best IMO. Do you remember Brees in SD, what could have changed him into one of the best QB´s in the league I wonder??
