Jones - we will go all out in finale

[32BellyOption]

Slow starts in the playoffs have killed us.

In 2014..

Romo could not get it going early and we ended up losing to an injured Rodgers.

In 2016..

we got cute with the resting in the last game and the next game..

a playoff game we spotted them 20+ points before losing.

DAK stunk in the first half of the game.

Ain't worth the falloff.

Play everybody who is healthy enough to play until the game is decided.

I understand and agree with most of what you said but we’ll just disagree on Zeke. Let’s just get to the playoffs healthy.

 

[Bleu Star]

Sometimes it goes good and sometimes it doesn't. Hard to say what the reasoning is. The NFL is so random sometimes. Could you imagine Dak playing and he gets hit in the knee and done? That is it for us... and for what? To get him more reps against a pathetic Giants team in crappy weather? Dumb man. Same goes for Zeke or any other critical starter. JG needs to motivate the team (I say motivate because he isn't capable of anything else) he is just a talker. Also they need to practice a lot and be ready for that playoff game. If something happens to one of our critical starters, he is going to look more foolish than he already does.

I know what happened last time we took the careful pansy route. Not a fan of doing it again. Play them for a quarter or two so they remain in sync.. then rest them.

BS JJ doesnt control game day decsions..its myth.. he may have input during the week with all staff present to come up with an agreeable strategy but no way hes bothering JG during the game..actually might be Illegal by communications rule..i get what people POV are concerning Jerry but he really wont have input come kickoff and beyond, JG will play them normally but SUB more the first half, and come third QTR he will oull who he can after first series.. it would be asinine to NOT get White and Rush quality snaps, they havent got any as we play to close of games but the Colts game was a mistake I dont they will do that again..let see if White is active and we will know for sure..I would activate white and rush and play them the third and 4th quarters..

For the most part Jerry has reliquished control to the committee but every now and then he pulls rank in a drunken rage, see practice after the Indy beat down...

I said IN GAME LIVE Action he does NOT have ANY Say, even when he comes down to the field late in games, I promise he doesnt meddle...I get as GM and Owner and what President he is bit too much in the media and at practices etc etc may say a ton of things when he shouldnt, but reality is , hes doesnt control who lays and who doesnt and in game decsions ..

Oh, Stephen meddles a bit but mostly before the game starts..

As long as there's no CABO involved.

 

[lurkercowboy]

Has any team ever given less than all-out effort against the Cowboys? I remember several season ending games where Dallas rested players and the other team of course won and celebrated like they won the Super Bowl. The last game at RFK was one example.

 

[CouchCoach]

Weird that Booger would even address this before his HC has the chance to make a comment about it. Is Booger seizing the decision from Garrett by making this statement?

Maybe Booger has seen what the fans have seen? This coaching staff cannot flip the switch. This offense will be the poorest one playing WC weekend and if they wait to try and get some confidence and momentum until that first playoff game, think they can do that?

This team needs a forward lean on offense going into the playoffs or it won't matter if they rest everyone in that last game. Resting players does not get them playoff ready. They're football players, they're paid to play. Unless they have a legit reason not to play, they should play.

 

[DallasInDC]

I just want the cowboys to win next week to give the Raiders a lower draft pick seed

Are you saying you don't think we will make it to the SB?

 

[The Quest for Six]

Are you saying you don't think we will make it to the SB?

NO, the Cowboys will NOT make the Superbowl.....I hope that doesn't burst your bubble!! lol

 

[Don Corleone]

This is a dumb idea... I'm sorry. Practice your horses all you want.. make sure they are extremely ready for the playoff game but don't play them in a meaningless game. One injury to a major star and we are doomed. NYG will be playing their hearts out too. Play our scrubs and let them win in the meaningless game and then week 1 of the playoffs everyone is healthy and ready to roll. It's just one meaningless game.

Go all out. They can rest after Valentine’s Day!

 

[willia451]

Play everybody. Play to win. Nobody on this team deserves a break after the turd it laid against the Colts and barely eking out a win against Tampa at home.

 

[AbeBeta]

I'd take out everyone who's not a rookie (Vander Esch as an exception) after the 1st quarter. This is a good game to see Cooper Rush in what is essentially another pre-season game.

So you'll be playing with just 5 players on the field?

 

[Redball Express]

Dangling participles?? Who knew that poor grammar was one of our weaknesses headed into the playoffs.

I think he must be tututing his grandson's english class for him.

Dangling participles?

You mean hanging chad's, right Jerrah?

Let's be politically correct.

We are the Champs.

We must lead with good Grammer.

 

[ufcrules1]

So if we roll Zeke out there and he gets a knee injury and can’t play in the playoffs you wouldn’t be mad at JG? lol media will have his head for sure.

 

[TwentyOne]

What should a businessman like jj say ?

We rest all of our starters. You need not come to the game . You need not turn your tv on.

He will say everything that will make you spend your money.

I bet Jones is in a diaper these days.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

You tell them Coach Jones.

 

[CATCH17]

I agree somewhat with Jones. The offense struggled mightily against Indianapolis and was only a hair better versus Tampa Bay.

They need in-game repetitions in conjunction with practice. The offense should not depend on the defense to shorten the field to score. They should depend on their own ability to sustain drives into the endzone.

The offense is not going to get any better. It’s week 17 and it’s still not very good.

Might as well rest the guys who contribute to the ground game because they are our only hope.

 

[Bobhaze]

The most important thing about this game in NY next Sunday is not who starts and plays. The most important thing is whoever plays needs to come prepared, play hard and play to win. Backups should be able to come in and play well enough to win or they shouldn’t be on this team.
