Hello,
Update: In an interview with Bob Costas shown before the Cowboys-Falcons game, Jerry stated:
“The night I bought it, I said I would be doing what I’m doing and that’s GM the team and making the final decisions on personnel,” he said. “That’s the way it’s always been done. We’ve won three Super Bowls doing it that way, so I’m going to do it again."
Jerry has got to be one of the most delusional people in the world. Jimmy Johnson and Jones knew each other from going to school together. Smartly Jimmy insisted he get the right to make all personnel decisions in his contract when he became head coach of the Cowboys. The consensus by everyone, but Jerry, is that Johnson deserves most of the credit for those three Cowboys titles in the 90's. It makes me laugh that he's taking credit for those Super Bowl victories, especially since when he's clearly been in charge the Cowboys have been terrible. Jones has been the GM for the last 15 years and the Cowboys have won one playoff game.
Reading comments on various websites the only people in favor of Jones staying as the Cowboys GM is fans of other teams. What does that tell you?
Another Cowboys game, another loss, Atlanta beat Dallas 19-13. This is the Cowboys 8th straight loss on Sunday night. I wish ESPN et al would stop giving the Cowboys such a high profile. Please stop interviewing Jones or even showing him. He's more concerned about appearing on TV than the Cowboys winning. The Boys don't deserve the attention and haven't deserved it for many years. The Cowboys will be on national TV next weekend, Thanksgiving and again on and the night of December 2nd. On December 2nd, the Cowboys will be going for their 9th straight Sunday night loss.
This season the Cowboys drop to 3-5 and realistically they don't have a good chance of making the playoffs. Even if Dallas somehow makes the playoffs, you know how that's gone for them lately. In their final 8 games, they only play 1 team with a winning record. Dallas will probably have to win all 7 of those games to have a realistic chance at making the playoffs. Dallas still plays divisional rivals Washington and Philadelphia twice each.
Also this mentally inconsistent Cowboys team will find a way to lose at least two or three of the games they should win. Their mental inconsistency is noticeable on many occasions, but one play jumps out at me from last night. The Falcons were on offense and were about to snap the ball. Dallas' defense had no idea what they were doing. When Atlanta snapped the ball, there literally was only one Cowboys defender on the line of scrimmage. No, that wasn't intentional and it was something I hadn't ever seen before. Atlanta converted on a fairly long third down to keep the drive going. Ladies and gentlemen your 2012 Dallas Cowboys.
Too bad this is Jerry Jones' Cowboys. Dez Bryant one catch, although he was targeted 4 times. I watch the receivers drop balls, all the stupid penalties and their many other glaring weaknesses and all the fault goes back to Jones. I've come to the realization that Jones would rather be in charge and the Cowboys be a bad team rather than he give control to someone else and the Cowboys return to their former glory. The fact that he continues to support a head coach who has only won 4 of his last 13 games shows that. Jones claims that Garrett is going to have a bright future. He may, but it won't be as a head coach. Let me ask you a question. When Jones finally fires Garrett, how many teams are going to want him?
If Garrett is such a great head coach then why didn't he stick with the no huddle offense? The answer obviously, he's not a great head coach. The Cowboys only scored one touchdown, that was when they were running the no huddle. Watch the Oregon Ducks play a game to see what the potential of a no huddle offense is. Now some of you will tell me but Oregon has better coaches. And I'll say well you got me there?
Why is the Cowboys offense so inept? A NFL team isn't going to win many games when they only score 13 points. How bad would this Cowboys team be if they didn't have a solid defense saving their butts so much? The Cowboys defense looked good in preventing the Falcons from scoring a lot, but still gave up 453 yards.
I've long been a Tony Romo hater, but last night's loss wasn't his fault. He completed 25 of 35 passes and some of the incompletions were drops by his inept wide receivers. When you have wide receivers like Ogletree and Bryant, I don't blame him for throwing so much to Witten. This is Romo's second game this season in which he didn't throw an interception. In fact, I can't blame this loss on any one player, this was clearly a team loss. Again most of the faults of this team goes back to the dictatorship of Jones and his clumsy handling of the Cowboys.
Congrats to Jason Witten for breaking the Cowboys all-time record for receptions. Too bad one of the best Cowboy tight ends ever has been wrapped in the mediocrity of the last 10 years of this Cowboys team. It's so bad Witten is playing in the era of Jones senility. Witten passed Michael Irvin, who finished with 750 receptions. More importantly Irvin also won 3 Super Bowls when he was with the Cowboys. Super Bowls they won in spite of Jones.
Jerry before you completely ruin your legacy you must get Sean Payton as the next Dallas head coach. You owe it to Cowboys fans everywhere who've supported your team. We've stuck by you through thick and thin and now we demand a real head coach. We also demand a winner! Keep Rob Ryan as defensive coordinator and let Garrett be your official glasses cleaner. Jerry, I know you like him and that's one job he couldn't mess up.
Jerry it's time for you to move on, before Cowboys fans continue to move on.
Unless some big news breaks my blog tomorrow will not be about the Cowboys.
