I will be completely honest and say that I love the Dallas Cowboys. They have been my favorite football team since I began watching Professional football. No, I don’t care that they’ve struggled off and on the past decade I don’t and won’t turn on my team. I know that we’ve had a dumb ass GM (The Owner) but there have been some really smart football moves made for this football team over the past few years. To not acknowledge that, even for the most ardent hater of the Cowboys, is to say that you really don’t know football you just want to hate a franchise.

Now all that said lets talk about this lunacy that I heard yesterday on t.v. and what’s been generally considered the consensus among sports pundits about Jerry Jones’s recent comments about his coaches and the amount of losses the team had while Tony Romo was out of action the first time with an injury.

Jerry said that we was completely dissatisfied with the job his coaches did in the seven games Romo  missed earlier in the season and that he didn’t understand how his team didn’t win any games while Tony was out. That makes perfect sense to me. As a Cowboys fan I was truly pissed to watch them find a way to blow games late in the fourth quarter after playing well. Look at the Falcons game, the Seahawks game, the Bucs game. Those three games alone, the Cowboys were leading in the fourth quarter and late in the fourth in two of those games, only to lose all three.

Dallas found ways to give games away when they were there to be won. So while that exciting end of game win over Washington kept them in the picture, the reality is they should be leading this division. Look at the second Giants game as well. They were in all these games and couldn’t find a way to get the W. And Jerry was right, that win Monday night was not because the Cowboys out coached Washington, it was because that team refused to quit.

Now I will give head coach Jason Garrett credit for that because it takes the right mindset instilled by your head coach to never quit when things never seem to go your way. But Jones was right, this staff should and could have done a much better job to get W’s on the board in earlier games. Imagine if they had closed out the Tampa, Seattle and Giants game. Instead of being 4-8, they would be 7-5 two games up in the division and looking to put it away down the stretch.

Reference my first paragraph, I don’t agree with a lot of what Jerry Jones has done or said since 1996 as the General Manager of the Dallas Cowboys, but I don’t get these Media slobs. When Jerry says his team is the best in the league and they should win, they say he’s crazy and you can’t take him seriously. When he makes bone head moves you tell him to fire himself. But when he has a solid and sensible draft and makes good football decisions you give a little pat and quickly pivot to the past.

When he tells the truth about his coaches the suck ass job they did in game preparation and execution, the Media says Jones doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But you let ESPN Analysts or Fox Analysts critique the team and they would say the same thing. Sometimes you just have to give the devil his due. Jerry Jones, for once, took a step back after a big win and admitted the truth: This team should not have lost all seven games without Romo. They should have been at worst 4-3 and most likely 5-2. The Carolina and New England games were the only two where they really had no chance.

Be real out there and give him his credit, Jerry may actually be wising up a little…Or maybe Stephen is actually, finally putting his imprint on this franchise and it’s noticeable. Hope it continues.. Go Cowboys!!!
