Jerry's Actions Do Not Align With "Win Now"

So you must like participation trophies huh ? Losing by just 3 is a badge of honor ? You inadvertently undercut your own point: those teams are in the championship game that we haven’t seen in almost 30 years. They win and we lose at home in the first round.
The Cowboys could have easily won in the first round too. They were inches away from Wilson catching the ball on the 11 yardline and would have had 4 plays to take the lead from there.

Jerry’s a buffoon and his “win now” mentality has killed this team. Plus he over rates and over pays everyone.

Its Chuckles that keeps us from ever making big moves....I've been saying for years, that he treats FA like its money being taken out of his inheritance.

You don' think that trading for Cooper was a big move? lol

Then how in the Hell did they go 12 and 5 and have the number 3 spot in the playoffs?

And are still sitting home! Got rolled in their own stadium. Could’ve been hosting a championship game right now but let’s just forget the divisional round even exists. 12-5, division win, 3 seed and the same outcome. How’d they look stopping the run?

When he traded a first round pick for Amari Cooper.
Do fans have selective memory?

This was a desperation move, not a win now move. The FO had egg on their face after they scapegoated Dez and sold us the "Dak friendly" narrative all off-season. The offense wasn't functional, we were 3-4, and had just lost to Alex Smith and 150 year old Adrian Peterson the week before.

Jerry was forced to make a trade because he failed to field an offense that could score points.

He made the big move trade because he was trying to win. One of the moves that gave them a chance to win this year too,

You either make the plays to win the game or you dont, there is no coulda, woulda, shoulda involved.

Like Aikman said, if you do jack in the playoffs there is really no difference between the Cowboys and the Jags.

1. Highest attendance in the nfl
2. Most valuable franchise in the world

Winning.
The sad part is that Jerry Jones could have accomplished both and stepped down as general manager after the Jimmy Johnson era ended. Heck. Jones would have still ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as an owner.
