Todd Archer: Jerry on the Patriots game

[Risen Star]

Jerry Jones is looking at Sunday’s matchup against New England as a measuring stick game for his 6-4 Cowboys. “This isn’t just my town against your town. It’s obviously a big one for us in how we make our way to the playoffs, so everything you play football for is riding there against New England and the challenge is with us,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. “I think it’s an opportunity to take a step up in the opinion of it, not only from within but without.”

The first sentence is very un-Jerry like coherent.

What the hell does that last sentence even mean?

I'm going to be physically ill when I wake up Sunday morning in anticipation for this game.

Is it me or has Jerry been very blunt about the playoff success he expects to see this year?

 

[Joe Realist]

Sorry Jerry, there will be no playoffs this year. Focus on the draft and the 19th pick in round 1

There will be a new coach next year

If it wasn't so wordy that would make a great t-shirt.

Picture the Cowboys logo as the background. Sweet.

It means he should not have had that last JW Red on the rocks.

What the hell does that last sentence even mean?

He took a few shots between the first sentence and the last sentence.

Jerry Speak 101 at the local community college is being offered, but no one signs up. So no one can interpret, not even the instructor shows up.

Garrett will find a way to make it fit.

ambiguity 101. it means how we see ourselves and how others see us will be determined by this game. sort of an ode to a louse theme.

 

[aria]

They must have edited out the 20 “uh(s) and “well(s)” or that wasn’t Jerry they quoted.

even better, these words bouncing off sky mirror and forming above the stadium in the shape of clouds.

To me Jerry is indirectly telling Jason Garrett this game is the difference between your getting another contract or coming to the end of your Cowboys coaching career.

While the Pats, imho, are on their "last legs" as far as their run of being the top team in the NFL, as far as being considered EVERY YEAR as one of the favorites to win it all, they are STILL the measuring stick for determining how good you are, if you consider yourself to be a contender for the ring.

Win, and you, (if you're a good team, I'm not talking about some freak game the Pats lost because they didn't take their opponent seriously or just simply had a bad game) stamp yourself as a team that needs to be given serious consideration for the title.

Lose, and you're "not ready for prime time".

I expect a Cowboys beat down, like 35-13, but if there's one thing about the NFL, the saying "on any Sunday" is certainly true. Wouldn't be TOO surprised if Dallas won, but it would still be considered an upset, at least to me....

Wow ....... This guy is an idiotic snake oil salesmen.

I wonder if he even knows what the truth looks like anymore.

 

[BigStar]

What the hell does that last sentence even mean?

Jerry speak for, we can earn more respect inside and outside the org. if we win against a NE type team.

 

[Stash]

As diplomatically as he can in Jerry-speak, but yes I think so too.

Garrett makes the NFC Championship Game or Jerry makes a change. Seems clear.

And what is also clear is that Jerry certainly expected a better record than this. And now this is one that he expects Garrett and the team to 'make up' for in the win column.

If we win. We will win the division. But that's a big IF...
