The easiest pregame speech of Jason's career

[erod]

Jason needs to look these guys in the eye and state the reality.

"Here's the deal, boys.

Win this game, and you won't get on a plane again until after the season except for a one-hour flight to Houston for the Super Bowl. You'll basically have three weeks to heal. You'll play in 72 degrees inside for the rest of the playoffs no matter what.

Lose this game, and you might not see this stadium again until August. You might be playing in 0 degrees in Green Bay as a wild card team, with hopes of going to Seattle and New York the following two weeks. That's 26 hours in airplanes in January.

Now, go kick these guys' butts, and let's stay home."

There you go.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

The team needs to stay hungry even if they clinch what they want. Can't lose focus now.

 

[Playmaker247]

Agreed

 

[Sportsdude360]

Right on!!

 

[bayeslife]

They get on a plane to Philly

 

[erod]

They get on a plane to Philly

For a meaningless game. Not the same thing.

 

[cowboys1981]

Just win at home one more time so we can stay in Texas in January and February.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

For a meaningless game. Not the same thing.

Wasn't a matter of it being meaningful or meaningless. You had Witten say that the team wouldn't get on a plane AT ALL, til the Super Bowl. He just pointed out an inaccuracy.

 

[DenCWBY]

He might throw in tune, "In the jungle, the mighty jungle the Lion dies Monday night".

I couldn't think of a more inspiring speech. Seriously.

Witten..........?

I was thinking Garrett............

 

[ksadler1]

Yea, I'd sit half the team for that one if we beat Detriot.

They'll all be headed to Vegas during the week off, too. You want to include those flights?

It's either....meaningless game-off week-Dallas-Dallas-Houston.....or Philly-Green Bay-Seattle-New York-Houston.

That's the point.

 

[erod]

Aweembaway, aweembaway, aweembaway, aweebaway....

I get the point. He was still right. Just say "Oops". Not a big deal.

 

[bayeslife]

For a meaningless game. Not the same thing.

Well now unless they are hypothetically boarding a plane, that speech would make Jason a liar. And I don't think the locker room chemistry could handle it.

 

[Bullflop]

It'd be good thinking from the coach. It's about as compelling as any psychological motivation could likely get as crucial factors to consider.

Of course, I'm reasonably sure the extra money that would be sure to follow from being successful in the playoffs likely won't hurt, either.

 

[Doomsday101]

I think Garrett has been saying all the right things to the team and doing what needs to be done to get them ready

 

[erod]

Well now unless they are hypothetically boarding a plane, that speech would make Jason a liar. And I don't think the locker room chemistry could handle it.

Then, just add the word "playoffs".

Hopefully, they have enough intellect to get the point of it all. Philly becomes a PR event if they beat Detroit.

Won't be necessary. Eagles win on Sunday.
