News: Jerry Jones on Cowboys' loss: 'This was a moral victory'

[coult44]

I completely agree with Jerry. I was really proud of the Cowboys last night. They played against what people were calling the best football team in the NFL. We were supposed to get destroyed yesterday, and we were right there until the end. If We can produce that offense week in and week out, we're going to win most games this year. We have Detroit, New Orleans, and Green Bay.... Outside of that... no team we play is going to be able to do that. We could very easily end up 10-6, 11-5, 12-4 range.

San Diego did that....this team won't put up these numbers again for ten years.

Oakland just beat the Chargers.

True! Even though I said that it's still making my point that none of these upcoming games will be a cakewalk.

 

[Denim Chicken]

I don't believe in moral victories, but this game showed me that it's possible for this team to go toe-to-toe with any team in the league. IF we can grind it out and make the playoffs, then anything can happen.

 

[Doomsday101]

I hated that we lost but yes I agree with Jerry about this offense and if they can play to the level they showed they can make a run. I also liked the fact he is backing his QB. Critics can say whatever they want

 

[Galian Beast]

And we can lose to any team. Just like we got manhandled by SD in the 2nd half last week and then they got hammered by Oakland last night.

It's not the end of the world. It's the continuation of the one the Cowboys have been in for several years now.

I hope people realize that San Diego isn't have a terrible season either. Rivers is actually doing quite well this year.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

Losers talk about "moral victories and how hard we tried", winners go home and____________the prom Queen.

 

[Sarge]

I can just imagine Michael Irvin or Charles Haley, back in the day, being happy with a "moral victory." My, we've come a long way. Long doesn't = right.

 

[punchnjudy]

Tell that to the defense.

 

[NeonNinja]

There is the main problem with our team, Jerry.

Who cares about a moral victory, doesn't show up in the win column and that's what matters.

He never said he was happy with the loss matter of fact called in sickening but yes there are a lot of good things that came out of the game. This loss is going to hurt for a few days not a single person including Jerry said otherwise but they have to get past this and try to correct some mistakes but also look at the positives that came out of the game and there were a lot.

They're 2-3 and almost certain to miss the playoffs. You have a QB as good as Philip Rivers and don't make the playoffs, that's terrible.

They're very much like Dallas. Porous defense, QB who puts up big #s, just as likely to beat a good team as they are to lose to a bad one.

 

[morasp]

I was proud of them when they went on the road and beat the Saints the year they won the Super Bowl when many considered them unbeatable at home and Payton wanted nothing more than to show Jerry what he lost.

 

[17yearsandcounting]

Sounds like papa Jerry took the boys to DQ after the game because they tried hard.

Or 8-8.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

We're going to "Moral Victory" our way to another 8-8 season.

I can't call a moral victory giving up 517 yards..
I can't call a moral victory getting zero sacks.
I can't call a moral victory giving up 4 sacks.
I can't call a moral victory getting 52 yards total, on the ground.
I can't call losing and going down to 2-3 a moral victory.

Maybe that's just me. I'm pissed we lost.

 

[CATCH17]

Jerry Jones needs to shut his stupid mouth.

We're the Dallas freaking Cowboys. There is no such thing as a Moral Victory. Go buy the Browns or the Jaguars if you're into Moral Victories.

I'm pissed that we lost as well but I'm not going to lose sight of an offense that played to that level. Call moral victory or whatever but to ignor what this offense did how guys like Williams and Beasly played and how the Dallas OL played is something I see as a major positive for the team. Yes in the end it was a loss and there are no good loses but there are performances that you can learn and build from.

Jerry does not have to do a damn thing It is his team like it or not. Don't watch the damn games. This crap of hissy fits over every single thing Jerry says is beyond stupid it is his fricken team
