Dallas one game out from 1st place

[cowboyed]

.... ..This is the thought that Jerry is probably buying. Somehow he doesn't see the panic, most are seeing.

I see the logic in this. Dallas is one win away, with Washington loss. That puts Dallas back in the saddle.

But the losses have been historically bad. That just doesn't happen to good teams, or real contenders.

Deep in the core of this team (coaching). Something is amiss. Sooner or later, Jerry will have to acknowledge it.

It's a thorny saddle. It's not just what the record represents, it's how badly we get beaten and pathetically we rise to the challenge when we lose. Dak can harken back to when we had a 3-4 record and still won our division at 10-7 to get into playoffs but were we getting beaten this bad? The Saints, Ravens and Lions wiped our field with us.

I didnt listen to the radio interview but read about it...

I agree with Jerry completely. No reasonable person wouldnt.

So...all you have to do as an interviewer is highlight some of the good things he has done recently and then ask him about the bad things...in a non-confrontational manor and seem genuine in curiosity.

Not that hard.

Whether scripted drama that Jerry was in on or not...I agree with Jerry..."dont glaze over the good and only talk about the bad"

There was not much good during that butt kicking unless we talk about the field goal kicker, Turpin, and 1-2 guys on defense

The team is about to go on a 5 game slide to 3-8. So buckle up. All I know is that I wouldnt want to be a radio talk show host whose job is to interview jerry.

I’d love that job.

Jerry’s brain analyzing the current state of the team…

He also sees yeah they're gonna probably get what 6 players back buy I don't know one game after the San Francisco game so between now and then that's dead in mid-season they get most if not all the players that have been injured back it's probably why he hadn't added anybody not that I don't agree with it but I find it hilarious that everybody thinks these moves that The Jets and Buffalo made were like big time none of these players have been impactful for a very long time and you don't know how they're gonna fit in on their new teams but let me ask you this isn't Kansas City the cream of the crop didn't they have a run of really bad injuries and they were attached to every trade rumor there was about getting one of these receivers and they didn't get one of them didn't they have a couple of starting running backs get hurt and who did they fill them in with didn't we call these bargain bin basement fill ins ie Kareem hunt?

This reminds me of what the Philadelphia Eagles do every year and go after players during the season and somehow almost none of the moves workout not saying that they won't but for one at least all these moves were made in the AFC it doesn't help anybody that threatens us in the NFC and you're right we're one game out it doesn't look good it doesn't feel like we're three and three I get it but Jerry's looking at this that way he's getting a lot of players back not too long after the bye by mid season with a lot of games left to play..

So when you get those players back you move up to Alvin cook you make a few changes you try to beat any of these players that they're not playing hard enough they're not tackling right their fundamentals are bad which is head scratching to me that you have to teach pro players how to remember their fundamentals...

Who knows who's buying what I just watch football to watch each game and I hope my team does well so maybe we do like Prescott said start out slow like 2018 and then pour it on down the stretch nobody knows what really is gonna happen you're right these weren't just losses these were gut wrenching I mean kicking the nuts type losses especially at home I can't imagine all those people that were at these home games how they're feeling right now the last four home games..

So everybody has a right to be upset no doubt but as much as I'm indifferent right now I'm not going to make any claims that's probably what Jerry sees and he's probably right there's a lot of players coming back and we can bring people up off the practice squad and maybe they can get this fixed maybe they won't either way and it's good for the fans right if we turn this around end up in the playoffs people are gonna say it's not good 'cause Jerry won't learn his lesson but I say that's good for the fans but if we totally tank and we fall apart and we get in the top 10 for the draft that's also a positive in some way so let's just watch the games..

This my cowboy brethren is the Ultimate Team sport is the ultimate reality show we don't know what's really gonna happen other teams could lose key players they can lose their quarterbacks things can happen and the Cowboys can all of a sudden be right back in the thick of things win 10 games get to the second round of the playoffs just like 2018 nobody knows what's really gonna happen so let's just try to stop being so massively Downers you guys are just I know you have a right to be upset and irritated and all this but man the whole praying for bad things that happened to the ownership and things to fall apart to teach him a lesson now that's not why I watch football we watch football to see what happens they have to play the games let's finish the season and then talk about this in the offseason..

There is no “good” to talk about after a 47-9 whooping. Getting into the minutiae of why that happened, why we’ve been blown out at home the last four games, and why Jerry and his son did absolutely nothing to fix obvious weaknesses in the off season is the ONLY thing that interview should have revolved around.

Jerry is a baby.

LOL.

Ok lets talk about the good.

Hiring Jimmy and letting him handle football operations.

29 years. Thats the GOOD.

The last 29 years if the goal is winning a championship have been bad. Heck he couldnt even build a stadium facing the right direction because he cared more about photo ops than the sun affecting games.

 

[blueblood70]

On paper yes

On the field they're contending for clown show of the year

I can see why that would be what it looks like now and you're probably right that doesn't mean it can't write the ship and get this thing moving with all the injured players coming back we have no one lost for the season we have guys we can bring up like dalvin cook we have guys we can demote and sit we got guys we can change...

But I can't be that guy after this last loss and try to say how everything's gonna be good and everybody is delusional and clueless and they don't know what they're seeing it is what it is we now have to watch the games because no one knows what's really gonna happen the rest of these games none of us the other teams we play down the stretch could lose their quarterbacks they could have the bad luck that we had I mean we have starting our fifth string pass rusher literally missing our top cornerback and then the corner that filled it for him got hurt we lost Kendricks who is the leader and that's a lot bigger loss than people thought last week he was keeping things together on the field making sure people were lined up he was the quarterback of the defense and when you have to go from Kendricks and can we lose kendrick's backup and vigil who I don't even really know who he is but this is crazy then we had togo to the guy who's not going to be on this team next year 'cause the way he's playing and Clark he just don't get it he is not an NFL linebacker and I don't even know why he's on the field because I'd rather see that guy named buddy

but the fact of the matter is we're getting all these guys back not too far after the bye they start working themselves back in, and again other teams can start to struggle like this at the turn of a hat it happens I mean didn't you see this happen to the eagles last year they started out looking like a Super Bowl caliber team at 10:00 and 1:00 and then the injuries happen and collapse happens it happens it can happen to anyone we happen to have it happening at the beginning of the season ,

we could end up having the better luck and good things happen at the end of the season...

Is this real? I have to ask because I'm 90% positive this is sarcasm but I've seen some crazy stuff here.

The member has been here since 2021. My suggestion? Research previously posted observations of Jerry Jones. You may end up surprised.

You mean 1 win away, if Wash loses AND Philly loses.

They're also 1 LOSS away (with a Giants win) of being tied for last place in the division.

They're also just TWO little losses away (with Browns, Titans, Rams, Jags, Panthers, etc wins) away from being tied for the worst record in the NFL.

This little "we're just this far away from...." game works in both directions

 

[Creeper]

The answer is simple. We got blown out by Green Bay last year and in the offseason Jerry allowed a bunch of solid players to leave. He replaced them with lesser players. The team is worse. No one should be surprised.

Look at who left. Tony Pollard, Michael Gallup, Tyron Smith, Dorance Armstrong, Donte Fowler, Jonathan Hankins, Neville Gallimore, Stephon Gilmore. Did I miss anyone? I suppose you could argue that Gallimore was no good, but the rest of these guys contributed last year. The only positive addition is Kendricks.

I understand it is a business and you have to let guys go because of the CAP, but when you replace them with lesser players the team suffers. This is what Dallas is dealing with. If Jerry really wanted to win this year, he should have tried to keep some of these players. Gilmore was available after Bland got hurt. Jerry never made the call. How could he not know this season wasn't going to be a down year? He may be surprised by how bad the beat downs have been, but he can't seriously be shocked that they are losing.

You don't have to be positive, but you don't have to be oozing negativity 24/7 like you're on the edge of a Cliff threatening suicide....

that's not what being a fan is yes be upset be angry but there's a lot of football left to play and some of us want to see the rest of the year play out good bad or indifferent... You're right there's nothing positive to talk about right now but there are games to watch and we can debate those games when they come and the worst part is we have a bye week now we have to go almost two weeks off of this loss...

he'll realize it once some people he's CLOSE to tell him that the team is doing bad, otherwise, we could lose 6 straight, and he'd think we're doing well

loooooooooooooool you're a part of the problem then!!! What good has he done except stuff his pockets, he thinks winning 12 games is enough, SIGNING DAK AND CEEDEE make us happy, it made him happy.

If we could only play the Giants more than twice a year......

LOL! Great catch. I have edited my comment.

 

[FanofJerry]

I dont think the Cowboys(the front office) are in it this year.

Im not a fan of Jerry making threats, even if its all a theatrics bit and the whole interview was an act.

I get focusing, to a degree, on negatives so you can iron them issues out......I just think, as whole for society, people/fans/posters are just sick of constantly hearing/reading/seeing negativity all over media.

Cool...being negative or focusing on negatives might make someone or something better quicker....but at what cost and was it even worth it?

Does a teacher that beats his/her students to meet the teachers objective for the student sooner....mean it is wroth it for both parties? I think its debatable.
