When people blame Jerry it's for a reason. Jerry's here to make money. He's achieved everything a living owner could possibly do....3 World Championships and he's enshrined in the HOF for eternity.

Players come to Dallas and it's current culture tells them, they've arrived! They get the best facilities, first class accomodations, premier exposure, and historical presence from a storied franchise. They immediately get this without ever putting in any effort.

This entitled culture must end. This team was loaded with talent yet they were one-and-done in the playoffs.

Culture over content.....your thoughts?

Jerry wants to win but on his own terms so he gets all the credit. He doesnt care about money. He will spend. In the 90s when there was no salary cap Jerry spent more than anyone and they bought championships.
You cannot do that in today's game and so his MO doesnt work

Switzer winning the SB set this in motion. Anybody remember Jerry and Barry holding the Lombardi and shouting we did it our way baby. Jerry wouldn't let go of the trophy and they basically were having a tug of war over it. He wanted credit , he wanted to be in the limelight he wanted to be a "football" guy. So not only have some of our coaches been traing on the spot with no previous experience so has Jerry Jones and he hasn't gotten any better in the bubble that is the Cowboys front office.

The culture here is a no-accountability, excuse-making machine, starting at the very top and dripping like maple syrup down a stack of pancakes. The owner/GM makes excuses for himself and his kids not putting a product on the field that wins in the playoffs.

He just hires and fires the wrong people over and over. Since the last time we were in a conf championship, we’ve had 6 different HCs, 7 different offensive coordinators, 8 different DCs, over 70 different assistant coaches…and 1 completely unaccountable GM.

There’s a very simple truth behind all our problems: Just because you are rich enough to own the Cowboys doesn’t mean you and your kids are qualified to be “football people” running the Cowboys. If he didn’t have Will McClay helping with draft, this would be a contender for the worst franchise in football.

I thought people came here to see the Jerry World Art Museum and could care less about the game going on inside.

It sure feels that way....I've been to two games there and had great club seats both times....when I got up to scream on a 3rd down I was one of only a few in the sections and got looked at like I was nuts....

So odd after living in Baltimore for a number of years and seeing that stadium

So true. We got the stayjum our crazy owner wanted. A shopping mall with streams of sunlight.

He has to pump sunshine to sell his product.

This is often in direct contrast to what a GM should be doing in certain situations.

He either doesnt understand that or thinks since he has done so many things in the business world that he can overcome it.

This is why.....just shut up!!!

But he is only here for the attention, so it's not going to happen.

When I had my season tickets, in the Silver Club Level, 1st row. It was a mixed bag each game. I never seen the same people twice that sat near me.
The people each time sat on either side of my seats said they bought them from the season ticket holder. But all were Dallas fans. Never had an opponents fans but once a few rows back.
Same thing, many sat there and did not cheer much, once in awhile, or just clapped. Other times many cheered and yelled the entire game.
But it was never constant cheering and yelling every game as we seen in other stadiums. I would say more were loud, than not though.

However it is pretty loud, or was when I went to games, from other sections filtering down noise. Fans are mistaken that it does not get loud in there.
Now of course I have not been to a game since the 2015 season, so it could have changed.

The chain of command is broken so the players show lack of respect for their coaches..they might listen to them but deep down they know JJ is the final one

It's like when Dallas cut Dez, Jerry was saying it wasn't him. Really? Aren't you the GM? Act like it.

While I agree with the culture problem, the talent on the roster is not special compared to legit title contenders. It has strengths and weaknesses like everyone else.

QB, coaching, and not beating yourself wins playoff games. The Cowboys didn't tick any of those 3 boxes versus San Fran.

But it doesn't matter in the lives of the players. They'll still be treated like rock stars regardless of what happens (or doesn't happen) in January.

We are not too far removed the luliness from the JG decade. It's going to take time to turn it around. No excuses next year.

Day one Dak and this entire team should be stating "it's not about the journey. It's about a championship."

Unfortunately, this team had been floundering for more than a decade before head coach JG. He wasn't the cause, just a 10 year symptom of the disease.

Still recovering from that experiment.

Watching the playoffs this weekend I haven’t seen a team we would have beaten. Not sure why so many fans are upset we didn’t go further in playoffs?

I have 8th row seats behind the Cowboys bench. This has not been my experience. All the fans in my section are loud and up all the time. The stadium was loud at all of the games I went to this year, except the Broncos.

Don't know why this myth is parroted on here all the time. Jerry has his faults on the sunlight part of the stadium, but he has not run off good fans that I can see.
