Success Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 In the '90's, I dreamed of this day. Now, if the Pats could just have a similar 25+ years of disappointing play and heartbreaking playoff near-misses or 1st round exits. 1 Quote

T master Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Jerry's meltdown has a lot more to do with how he is perceived as a football guy & the questions that surround his decisions to that than how the team does this guy has a ego that needed Jerry world just to fit his head in the door . He has always been that guy that's why he fired Jimmy and he will always be that guy !! I just love it when he's complaining because that means he's losing & that just makes everything all better !! 1 1 Quote

That's simply NOT true lol. I can list at least half a dozen teams that you couldn't list 9 players that would start on Buffalo. More importantly, the names I listed aren't just upgrades to current Bills players, they are stars. Some of them are superstars. More to the point, we can't have it both ways. We can't laugh at Dallas for underperforming and choking when they have a great roster, AND say their GM sucks at team-building. It makes us look petty and stupid, instead of brilliant and right.

I always said if they knew they were going to have the chance to draft Lamb they would not have extended Coop. I have never seen someone check themselves out of games at the most pivotal times. Quote

We have nowhere close to 28 guys that would start for Dallas lol. Quote

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Cowboys already had a very good group of receivers before drafting Lamb. He was a luxury that they really did not need. Their o-line had gotten old and injury ridden and could have used an infusion of talent. Some of Zeke's best runs this year were to merely get back to the line of scrimmage. As always, Jerry went for the big splash and it didn't pay off. One of the earlier posts pointed out that great coaching prospects avoid working for Jerry and that may be very true. It may also be true that Jerry will only hire coaches that will tolerate his incompetent meddling in team operations. When you look at some of the consistently under performing teams, bad ownership is a common characteristic. Bills fans lived through it with Ralph's last few years. In addition to Dallas; Washington, Detroit, Chicago, Miami, Jets, and Jacksonville are living that nightmare now. 1 Quote

It's not a great team building strategy, which is why his W/L results aren't where he wants them to be. They were #1 in points scored and #7 in defensive points allowed. This is just flat out incorrect lol. You can't find any piece of data to back this up. They even went 12-5 this year. They are chokers with a bad coach. That's what they were with Garrett, that's what they are with McCarthy. Romo was a great QB who imploded come postseason. Dak, after his hot start as a rookie, is now plaing AWFUL in the postseason, and honestly against some of the better teams in the NFC this season. Dallas' problem is not that their right guard or their defensive tackle is a JAG. Hell, we have JAGs at those positions. Their problem is that their stars, particularly their star QB's do not elevate their game come post-season. Not only that, they don't show up to play. And their coaches, who are handed great talent and superstars, can never make them more than the sum of their parts. THAT'S their problem. Throw Sean McDermott and Josh Allen on the Cowboys right now and I believe they go undefeated. Maybe 16-1. THAT'S the difference. Edited January 22, 2022 by FireChans Quote
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 As far as X's and O's go and the technical aspects of the game, Jerry Jones may be the most knowledgeable football owner in the league.

galept Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 I believe in an interview he was asked if owner Jerry would have fired GM Jerry by now, and the response was a chuckle and a yes. He is not that great as GMs and he knows it, but he hates not being in control. Dude needs an intervention for the sake of that team. Quote
