Jerry's message to team: We got to win. This is the Dallas Cowboys

[KJJ]

no the head coach should have

I’m sure the HC gave a message and it didn’t work. Nothing the HC’s say work with these players Jerry brings in because all he does is coddle them.

well that got me fired up

This is the same "leader" who announced how nervous he was about the playoffs. Great message to send to your team.

I thought the same thing.

That game was over after the opening drive.

You could see it in the players and coaches faces.

They ALL were nervous.

They became just like their owner leading up to the game.

Whole franchise is full of damn losers

Only Dallas Cowboys would be losers for losing a playoff game.
Why can’t fans just accept that we are not one of the best teams in the NFL. We cannot run the ball; we cannot stop the run. Those are the very basic fundamentals that anyone must do to win.

We have a flashy pass rush sometimes; we sometimes get turnovers.
We have a flashy pass offense with some playmakers.
We have flashy players who love mics and podcasts and selling themselves on social media.

Besides that, what DOES this team have? We don’t have a run game that scares any team in the league; we don’t break long runs; we can’t grind it out; play-action is therefore a waste of time, and we can’t eat up clock with a lead or wear down a defense Unless it’s their pass rushers who get tired.

Against weak teams, our defense can hold the score down. Against weak QBs, we sometimes get big INTs. But we cannot dominate anyone. We seldom get 3 and outs; we can’t stop a team when we have them pinned down deep on their end; we can’t push the pocket back in the QBs lap from the interior.

We do not have a physical presence on either side of the football. The Dallas Cowboys are a finesse team on offense and defense.

Besides Miami, who runs the ball better than us and has a much higher ranking against the run, name me a team in the playoffs less physical and more finesse than the Cowboys. We have spent the last 3 decades blaming every coach, every QB, and Jerry Jones. Today all the blame is still being thrown on the wrong people. The players play hard and try to win. The coaches sometimes crap the bed with inexplicable game plans like last night on defense. Last night we were out-coached on both sides of the ball, but that happens to all teams. When you are one dimensional on offense and one dimensional on defense and have the inability to smack anyone in the mouth or shift emphasis or style to make the defense do something different, you lose.

GB sold out to smother Lamb and blanket every receiver with man coverage backed up by zone matchup so no one, not even the TE or RB, ever got off the line without someone in his face with help deep. They dared us to run, but we couldn’t. Mike tried to force it to make them change the defense, but they controlled our run without any help. Light boxes and we still couldn’t run.

GB came out running the ball down our throats, and when we brought the safeties down, they laughed and stopped running, instead throwing to wide open receivers because without safety help, our corners played way off everyone, never pressing them. The pass rush never got home because without pressing receivers they were running free immediately.

The Cowboys have built a soft team that’s fun to watch when they win and impossible to watch when they play tough teams.

My grandson is 8 months old. I am sure his kids will see Dallas in a Super Bowl some day.

Oh, super bowl at JerryWorld again?

Pretty much sums it up. The individual talent is there. I'd definitely say the players and coaches failed.

Not at LB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or Rb. Or 3 tech. Or FS.
