The Cowboys under Jason Garrett are 16-16, including 4-9 since Thanksgiving. Their repetitive errors are chronic and, at this point, they appear fatal.
GM. Coach. Quarterback. Blame for this 3-5 season that owner/GM Jerry Jones himself terms "a disappointment," naturally magnetizes itself to those three spots.
The Atlanta Falcons keep their perfect season intact with a 19-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys Sunday in the Georgia Dome.
"What I want us to do in Atlanta is to take what they give us, without a mistake,'' Jones tells 105.3 The Fan. "And I can predict the score for you: It'll be positive Cowboys.''
The Cowboys are at a crossroads. Their television ratings are down 18% (biggest drop in the league) and Jerry was booed in his house during a Breast cancer PSA. Average is no longer accepted.
"Certainly in 24 years, I've experienced boos," said Jones, who remarked following Sunday's loss that he has been to "boo school" before.
Coach Jason Garrett said Monday there's a tremendous amount of urgency for Dallas (3-4) going into Sunday night's game at Atlanta (7-0), the NFL's only undefeated team.
Don't fool yourself. This game was not lost on the outstretched digitis secundus manus of Dez Bryant. The fingerprints of this defeat were lifted much earlier.
The news from Jerry's Kremlin compound is devastating. Tremendous LB Sean Lee is lost for the season with a toe injury. He is arguably the Former Dallas Cowboy's best defensive player.
In short, the Cowboys losing Lee is akin to the Texans losing J.J. Watt. And even more damaging than the Ravens losing Ray Lewis.
The Cowboys said in a statement that Arminta Jones died Tuesday morning in Dallas after celebrating her birthday last week with her family. She was 90.
With their season hovering on the brink, the Dallas Cowboys turned to inspiration from former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs. No, seriously.
"Felix Jones is one of the most conscientious, hardest workers that I've been around as a football player," Jerry said. "You've got to almost shoot him to get him off of the practice field."
Jerry Jones was asked this week about his goals, and he still believes that the Cowboys can compete for a championship this year. Jason Witten supports that thought.
Coach Jason Garrett is talking about the good things that happened for the Dallas Cowboys. Owner Jerry Jones says they could evolve into a championship contender this season.
The Cowboys are expecting to be without running back DeMarco Murray for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Jerry Jones said that it "looks obvious" that Murray won't play.
Houston, San Francisco and South Florida are bidding for Super Bowls L and LI.
Jones told The Fan "if you look at the pluses Sunday, we're evolving into a team that can be a team that can compete for the championship. Not next year, this year."
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones celebrated his 70th birthday on Saturday, October 13. He was born on Friday the 13th! What would you like to give him for a birthday present?
"I'm disappointed we're not putting more points on the board, i'm disappointed that we're not getting the turnovers - all of that tells me that at 2-2 were are in pretty good shape considering the way we play."
Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr says the team is refreshed following its bye week, and has erased the first four games from its memory.
"Normally you don't want a bye week when you can 'stew in it' after a disappointing game, but in this particular case getting some knicks and bruises cleaned up as well as healed up" said Jones on 105.3 The Fan
"I couldn't be more disappointed, or more frankly surprised that we didn't play better," said Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones on his weekly radio show with 105.3 The Fan's New School morning show.
Good news: Cowboys fixed Jason Witten (13 catches) and sliced their penalties to only 2. Bad news: DeMarco Murray only gained 24 yards on 11 carries.
last nights cowboy game was a lot like a night at the opera...you're all dressed up..you don't understand what's going on..and about halfway through you wonder why you're there in the first place...
