Cowboys obliterated other teams in 2018 attendance

You guys are on crack if you dont think Jerry would give his left nut, 1 billion dollars, and trick his wife out for another SB.

While that might be true, neither of those would actually improve the team. Getting rid of an incompetent HC and GM would be the place to start if he wanted to show people he's really interested in winning.

Can't say I agree with this Omer. As long as fans show up at capacity and as long as ratings are at the top of the charts and the apparel sales are up, that translates into profits and that is the name of the game. As long as the team is profitable, it won't matter what the product looks like. Fans are basically giving the nod to Jerry for status quo.

At least, that's my opinion.

Stop being blind.
Jerry is so old that he doesnt care about just growing his bank accounts. Have you not yet figured Jerry out? He wants to win a SB more than anyone.....with the caveat that he gets credit for winning the SB.

Stop this nonsense about Jerry only caring about money. If this was true then he wouldnt have fired Wade Phillips. Rating were just as good and people bought just as many tickets.

Garrett has a new excuse — Jerry has proclaimed the offense belongs to Kellen Moore. Meanwhile, Garrett has nothing to do with the defense.

As long as JG doesn’t throw a public snit-fit and slag Jerry and Stephen (won’t happen), he’ll remain the HC as long as KM’s the OC.

That is just not true. The reason that JJ and SJ wanted JG to give up playcalling to begin with is so he could be as involved with defense and special teams as he was with offense.

Uh - - - - - no. They took play calling away because he sucked.

They sell out every game, home and away.

There will be 40-50 of us in Detroit this year. Can’t wait

You mean your group alone with will be that big? Wow. Have fun.

Nah we were really productive on offense but not so much on defense. Cowboys fans remember....its the excuse they always give why Romo never won.

Fans were showing up when Phillips was fired. Think there are two ways garrets tired. They bomb this yr ir like Phillips the players turned on him

Well, Phillips was set up by Garrett and the team to fail. I have always believed that so I don't really see any way that the two situations could be the same, unless you are thinking that the Moore deal is the same kind of deal. Either way, if Garrett were to go .500 this year, I am not convinced that he would get fired. I mean, he's done that before with a better QB and he's still here. I'd have to see it to believe it I guess.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I see what you are saying about Jerry understanding that the fans are coming and buying merchandise etc ... while Garrett is the coach, but I don't think that means Jerry believes they are coming and buying merchandise etc... because Garrett is the coach, or that they would quit coming and buying if Garrett weren't the coach. My guess is Jerry believes the way he markets the team is why they come and buy, and I doubt he would be worried in the least about them not coming if Garrett were replaced. For that matter, I'm sure he realizes a large number of fans want Garrett replaced.

I agree with that but, it doesn't move the needle. As long as there is no pressure, monetarily or otherwise, on Jerry to make a move, he will not feel as if he needs to make one. What you are explaining above is pretty much the point I am trying to make.

Stop trying to give advice. You don't know Jerry any more then anybody else. If Jerry were really trying to do what you say, he would have hired a real GM years ago, regardless. Winning is not and has never been the most important thing to Jerry. If it were, he would have never allowed Jimmy to walk out the door.

Wade was always a stop gap. If this were not true, then Jerry would never have made Wade Phillips accept Garrett as the hire for OC. Who hires a QB coach, with two years experience to become your OC? Who does that, except Jerry and why does he do that? It's certainly not because you are interested in winning. I don't buy that.

Want to take a guess at which fan base is showing up to their home games? Some may guess it may be the Atlanta Falcons who famously lowered concession prices to a historically low amount. Others may say teams that went deep in the post season like the Kansas City Chiefs New England Patriots or New Orleans Saints.

The team that put the most fans in the seats is also the team that also draws the highest TV ratings: The Dallas Cowboys.

this gives Jerry all he needs to know that he made all the right "football" moves and thus its emboldening him to do more jerry-meddling....that's all he cares about, that's his measuring stick when it comes to managing a football team. the real on the field outcome doesn't matter.

Take your own advice. You dont know Jerry any more than anyone else either.

Its well known that Jerry and Jimmy's rift was over Jerry wanting to take credit for winning. This isnt a secret.
Jerry doesnt hire a GM because then he doesnt get credit for winning. He only gets credit for hiring a great GM. Not the same thing at all.
Jerry has been trying for all of these years to prove that he is football man. He isnt just trying to prove he can die with the largest bank account.
Here you go. Educate yourself.

What exactly is that film clip supposed to teach anybody? All it shows me is that all of this crap about Jerry wanting to win is just that, and on a side note, we've all seen that interview. If Jerry really wanted to win, he never would have let Jimmy walk out the door, which is the point I made earlier. Help me out here, what is it you see there that I don't? Jerry is about Jerry and everybody knows that. This piece isn't teaching anybody anything we all haven't known for 20+ years. You can't have it both ways. Either Jerry wants to win and if that's the case, then you do what you need to do to win, which is bring in a great GM. You can't say that Jerry wants to win if he still insists on doing it his way after all these years of failing. To me, that doesn't show a person that wants to win above all else.

I would also say that anybody who thinks that Money isn't the driving force behind Jerry is kidding themselves. You don't have to agree but posting stuff like this isn't going to do it. Again, we've all seen this before. Nothing new here and nothing that really changes my views on Jerry.

Not exactly true on the bold. I went to the game against Det back in 2011 and their fans had a very good showing. Nowhere close to what you will see when Green Bay, Chicago, or Pittsburgh visits, but it was still quite a few of their fans.

The very best turnout of opposing teams in Dallas for Hockey games are those from Detroit. They take over the place....or at least they used to. So what you say doesn't surprise me about the Lions.

 

[DFWJC]

Normally, the Giants would be a much closer 2nd, instead of 4th. The fans there feel hopeless at this point though.

 

[Jipper]

i love how jerry is getting criticism by this forum because of this....honestly, would you rather be the team at the bottom that has the fewest fans show up? Seriously...we had good reasons to go to games this year, because it was a good product on the field....keep up a good product, more people will come....simple as that

I'm glad we've developed a home field advantage again. That's a big plus from 2018.

This is Jerry's Super Bowl. Bragging rights on attendance.

Well the point is that fans have always shown up. They were pretty much near capacity under Campo, too.

That’s a a lot to thinking of that situation. I don’t but it was the defensive players who were doing most of talking in that Phillips firing yr. so I don’t see how Garrett would control that.

That team was full of entitled guys esp on defense.

Also I don’t think Jerry is the same owner he was back then. I seem as a better more informed owner who has guys around him that give him information that’s the majority. Not where coaches and scouts battling on who is right and who is wrong.

One thing you’re right on is Jerry believes on Garrett then I think any coach he’s ever had. I like the attitude he teaches the team, I just think they haven’t had the right assistants around him. I really think this team lost a lot when Callahan left. But I think they got it right with Richards. Now we get to see what they got in Moore. I will say he seems to have a good rep in the n coaching circle as a lot of media have said coaches like him.
