[perrykemp]

Jerry has come up with a great idea for getting the Cowboys into the playoffs:

LOL and then he can claim Garrett as his next Tom Landry.

lol.. maybe our sad 8-8 butts can make it in now. Only to get eliminated in the first round.

 

[Risen Star]

He's an absolute embarrassment.

Lol.. So not only is it the fault of the defense, it's the fault if the NFL rules committee with regards to Garrett...

lol.. maybe are sad 8-8 butts can make it in now. Only to get eliminated in the first round.

Maybe if we can play a team that's 7-9. lol

 

[TellerMorrow34]

This is an absolutely terrible idea. It's not the worse thing he's ever said but it's a stupid thing to say all the same.

 

[khiladi]

Jerry, three years in a row you blew what was effectively your play-off game...

 

[Corso]

He's an absolute embarrassment.

Truer words never typed.

Maybe the school systems around the country should drop the pass/fail threshold by another 10-20 points also.
More kids will gradumate. They no feel as dumm so self esteem will go up nationally two.

Wheeeee!

 

[diehard2294]

He needs them to expand it so his standard 8-8 team can make it in

 

[Setackin]

Im embarrassed everyday by him

Even if 2 more teams per conference made playoffs, Cowboys wouldn't have qualified the last 4 years. http://es.pn/1lFjxxL

I knew Jerry had plan to get this team over the hump and into the playoffs.

 

[DallasJ7]

Of course he is. He's obsessed with selling the idea of making the playoffs as a mediocre team and getting hot a la the 2011 Giants. Cowboys fans are losing hope with this poorly run organization, but hey, if you can make the playoffs at 8-8, then we've got a chance!

By the way, if there were 4 wild card teams in the NFC, we still would have missed the playoffs the last two years. That just tells you crappy the NFC East has been. In 2011, there were 4 teams with an 8-8 record that missed the playoffs, so I'm not sure how the tiebreakers would have worked out - I don't really feel like working that out.

EDIT: well per MacMahon, we would've missed in 2011 also.

He was asked a hypothetical, he answered it. He wasn't lobbying for it. You people are either purposely acting stupid.... or

And I am no Jerry apologist.

Which shows that his idea(which I don't like) isn't just about getting his team into the playoffs.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

It's not even about getting his team in the playoffs. It's about money. Jerry would be for 26 teams in the playoffs if he could get away with it. He couldn't care less about the quality or the future of the game.

[cowboys1981]

8-8 would have had us out. If they added two teams to the NFC Arizona and Chicago would've made it over us.

That is pretty awful.

But Garrett is making progress. We really have a bright future.
