Jerry on Lions game: This was a shocker

[DandyDon52]

About 80,000-90,000 ticket buyers week in and week out are.

so true

 

[DandyDon52]

He was fired.

no he wasnt

 

[khiladi]

Jerry did what the Dak fanboys asked and gave him a billion dollars. Don’t blame him now…

 

[atlantacowboy]

I beleive him when he says he is shocked. He has no idea what he's doing and is completely unable to look at his team objectively and his players objectively. So, it makes. a lot of sense that he can't explain losses like this one.

 

[DandyDon52]

Didn't fix the run defence (an issue all last year). Didn't fix the rushing attack (an issue most of last year. And he's shocked?????

DOES ANYONE ELSE NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I'M AS ANGRY AS I AM? DOES ANYONE ELSE NOT SEE WHY HE NEEDS TO SELL THE TEAM? JERRY! YOU ARE SINGLEHANDEDLY MAKING BEING A COWBOYS FAN A TORTUROUS EXPERIENCE! I HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY WAS THE WORST EVER! GET OUT! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jerry isnt selling the team or stepping down.
This would have to happen every week for years , and even then he would think it is about to turn around!

This guy is an idiot.

It’s just that simple. To pretend what he saw was shocking to him means only one thing - he’s dumber than dirt when it comes to football.

And the funny thing is, the outcome of this game doesn't change one bit if Jerry's squad was 100% healthy. They were out coached, out played, and most definitely out gm'd. 3 home games so far this year and 3 embarrassing butt whoopings. I've been a diehard Boy's fan for 40+ years and this was the first time I stopped watching before halftime. And once again, there seemed to be more Lions' fans than Cowboys' fans. That would infuriate every other owner in the league except for Jerry. All he sees is $$$'s. And since this is a 'family approved' message board, I'm going to end this right here even though I have a lot more to say. #&#%@%#*#&@^#&$*@;!!!!!!!

I hope the entire NFL is laughing at him tonight.

By the way, Jerry made a similar comment about Wade Phillips back in 2010, then fired him a week later.

No he’s not.


Jerry was waiting to pull the trigger for Jason Garrett and looking for any excuse to get rid of Wade.

Jerry has nobody like that and he’s not going to pay MM for sitting on the couch, especially since he has 1 year left and so does Zimmer.

Jerry was well positioned for a rebuild until he balked and decided to pay Dak, with 1 year left. Imagine Dak having any leverage with this sort of play…

 

[DandyDon52]

Jerry did what the Dak fanboys asked and gave him a billion dollars. Don’t blame him now…

yep lamb too, and he will give another 40-45 to parsons.
All the little guys all get low balled deals and 1 year deals.

As an older fan, I think I understand your displeasure with Jerry and his mismanagement of a once proud franchise. I remember when Cowboys ownership was virtually silent, and NFL professionals ran the team (Schramm, Landry, Brandt). We all recognize that the most pressing, serious problem with the team now is its malignant narcissist owner with advancing dementia.

It's also a situation where I have a mentality that doesn't seem to be present on this team. I said this the other week or so.

I can accept a loss where I feel the team gave it their all. Had we lost the Steelers game last week, I wouldn't have been angry because I felt the team gave their all and gave great effort. I was angry at the performances against the Saints, Ravens, and now Lions because I didn't see effort. For me, it starts with Jerry. I saw the weaknesses I laid out. If he wants to still be a GM, then I expect him to give the effort required of such. However, I knew he wouldn't give effort. I knew from the previous year's that he wouldn't do anything in free agency. The not signing of Derrick Henry angered me heavily and still does because I felt it would have been an effort to fix the run game. If it didn't work, I wouldn't have been angry. I would have appreciated that he at least tried. The lack of effort is what has me so angry. On top of this, he also gaslit us all offseason with the all in stuff. We all knew it was a lie. He knew it was a lie. Yet, he said it anyway. Then, he and his son basically talk about season tickets and give gaslighting responses in their TC press conference that showed they don't care. So, all of that combined has me where I am being so furious with him.

Then, the players are in a situation where we suck, and I knew we were probably going to be bad. But then I see the players almost check out when things go poorly. I was always taught to give my all until the game ended. I know people will blame Dak, but it's a structural failure with the team. You can't win when all you can do is throw. The interception in the endzone was heavily based on the fact we can't run the ball. I think Derrick Henry would probably have changed the dynamic of this game and the Saints game to where we'd be better balance. We are so imbalanced that it's almost unbearable. It's humiliating knowing that we all saw it, and Jerry didn't lift a finger to fix it.

When I go to cons (especially MFF),.I always try to give every bit of energy I can give. I'm selective when I wear the head of my suit, but I literally train for at least two months getting myself ready for how hot I can be in my body suit when at MFF. I train as best as I can do that I can have the most fun I can have have, and, in turn, be as entertaining as I can be for my friends who are also in suit and such. My goal is to give every ounce of energy I have to the point where I am almost unable to get up the next morning after getting home from a con. When I sit my tail on the plane seat coming back from MFF, I want to know I gave every bit that I could at a con. I have been told at conventions that people love the energy I bring to cons. I explain that I love being there and part of the fandom, and it's my responsibility to be the best I can be and bring as much energy as I can to the convention. I typically have blisters on my feet following the cons. I do that because, as I learned when playing football, I want to give everyone there my best. I'm not the best furry, and I'm far from the best fursuiter. But one of the things that I think people have grown to respect about me at cons is my effort at cons.

That's what I expect out of everyone in the team from Jerry down to the waterboy. As a fan, I try to be the best fan I can be because it's my responsibility to try to cheer on the team as best as I can. But ******! I want to be able to be proud of the team. If I'm not seeing effort, then it bothers me. It angers me. And seeing Jerry not even try to fix our issues infuriates me.

ok there is nothing jerry can do about who buys the tickets,
The psl owners are the ones that dont want to go , so they sell them to opposing fans for top dollar.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Step back from the roller coaster ride. I did and I am better off. Love me some Cowboys but emotional devotion has greatly been reduced and my blood pressure never rises from football anymore.

How? I don't know how to do that, much less if I'm able to do that. I'm a horse. I'm stubborn, and it takes a lot to drag me off a spot when I don't want to leave that spot.

 

[cowboyec]

wish we had an owner who would fire the gm.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

This would have to happen every week for years , and even then he would think it is about to turn around!

I know, and I'm even more angry at the fact that I see no effort from him. Football is about effort, first and foremost. You can have all the elite players in the world, but it doesn't matter if the effort isn't there. Jerry's the leader, being the owner. He's shown no effort, so why would the players?

 

[NumOneQB]

Jerruh can’t be that stupid? How did we all know this was going to happen but he didn’t? Thats what happens when you don’t improve your team during the offseason.

 

[TheBigEasy]

Technically, Jerry CAN control who buys the tickets. Put a product on the field that actually competes and those psl owners won't be selling them.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

It was a shocker, considering g he went all in!

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

This guy is an idiot.

It’s just that simple. To pretend what he saw was shocking to him means only one thing - he’s dumber than dirt when it comes to football.

Right, I mean the question should be how did you not see this coming. It took a last minute miracle just to beat Justin Fields LOL. He and the nepo baby are jokes

 

[Runwildboys]

Shocking that your way isn't working, eh Booger?

(That one's for you, Couchcoach!)

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Jerruh can’t be that stupid? How did we all know this was going to happen but he didn’t? Thats what happens when you don’t improve your team during the offseason.

Because he's just gaslighting and trolling at this point. He knows damn well that this team can't compete. He's saying that to try to say, "hey, it's not all bad. Come back next week and see the improvement". It's gaslighting and he knows it.
