Note Jerry's comment "injuries being the principle one". That will always be Jerry's fallback. There will always be injuries and Jerry will always see it as the reason for failure. Jerry's way too attached to Garrett, to the point Garrett is family.

Jerry's way too attached to his own ego.

He ran Jimmy out of town to satisfy his own ego.
He will hold the GM position until death, despite admitting he'd have fired himself years ago if the GM was someone else, to satisfy his own ego.
He has given Garrett almost a decade to justify his "my Landry" comment to satisfy his own ego.

The only "family" Jerry cares about is Jones. Everything else is about his own ego.

Mostly pure love of Dakota. If I had another son, he could look like Dak.....but I would give him a street name like Placenta instead of Rayne Dakota
:lmao:lmao:lmao:


* That one step son I'd raised, had the middle name of "Rain" ,first name of "Jimmy"

I hate to break the news to the 3 or 4 homers left on this board, but no head coach in NFL history has ever taken their team to their first SB after a decade on the job. No head coach sucks for a decade winning just a couple of wild card games here and there and then makes a bowl run, its never happened. Ergo, if Garrett was good enough to take this team to the SB, it would have happened by now.

Jerry may be finally starting to realize this.

It’s a win-win gentlemen, either we go deep into the playoffs or Garrett finally makes an unceremonious exit.

Jerry isn’t pleased and neither are we.

Coaching aside, the big question here is whether us fans have been duped into thinking that this is a great roster. I certainly thought it was.

On paper this offense looks like the league’s best, even with a guard who looks more like a tight end than an offensive lineman. We have a two-time rushing champion at running back, a wide receiving core stacked with top 100 picks from the draft, two (and now three) “war daddies” on the defensive line and three all-world linebackers.

Sure seems to me like this should be the best team in the NFC. So I lean toward it being the coaching, but maybe, just maybe, the talent isn’t what we think it is.

Good points bro.…..I think starting the year 3-0 against possibly the three worst teams in the NFL kinda skewed everybody's perspective.

Tom Laundry made his first super bowl his 11th year in the NFL.

All this Jerry Hate is going to make him sign Dak to a monster contract guys.
You've been warned.
It is going to happen no matter what we say or do. We will be having the same conversation we are having today...Wentz vs. Dak 5-7 yrs from now.

This old drunk is just trying to show interest. He could not care less as long as he is pushing product at AT&T.

He played for the NFL Championship in his 7th season before the SB was even around.

Obviously I was referring to the SB era of head coaches......the fact you had to go back to before the SB was even created proves my point.
I don't like JG either, I'm just being contrary!!!!

The Super Bowl was already around in Laundry's 7th year, it just wasn't called the Super Bowl. GB beat KC. So, Laundry did not lead his team to the "Championship game" until his 11th year.

Fire your puppet coach and get a real one in here Einstein.
Actually the Cowboys are about where I figured they would be. Jerry isnt a bad GM when it comes to bringing players in. His problem is hiring coaches and separating himself on a personal level from the players themselves. It's just like a mom and pop run organization.

That Jets game will haunt us when we lose a nail-biter to cost us the division in December

If the Jets loss keeps Dallas out of the playoffs they weren't going anywhere, anyway. At least that might eliminate some of Jerry's false hope in the status quo.
