Jerry Jones says Dallas Cowboys ‘laid an egg’ against Green Bay Packers

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently spoke to the media, where he discussed the future of the team with head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Dak Prescott leading the way.

Jones re-affirmed his position that he believes Prescott is still the quarterback who can take Dallas where they ultimately want to go, and has already announced that he’s giving McCarthy at least one more go-around. But he still expressed some frustration over the recent playoff loss — and not just that it happened, but how it happened.

“Well, I think that we, as a team, laid an egg,” said Jones of the performance against the Packers. He considers it a terrible day for the franchise.

“Specifically, I want to say it and respond that way and you can start here, and I’m not trying to be magnanimous or anything, but you can start here and you can go all the way down the line. That was a bad day for us and manifested and created a lot of of of scrutiny on days long before that and long after that.

“That’s what kind of day it was, and so, it’ll be an impactful day we we’ll do things that honor the fact that we didn’t play well against the Packers.”

What are those things Dallas will do as a result of the loss? Who knows, the changes could all be internal and between the four walls of the Cowboys facility. But one thing is for sure: Jerry Jones is still all-in on Mike McCarthy and seeing if he can push the Cowboys through to that next step in the postseason.

“I thought we made a pretty good move four years ago when we hired Mike McCarthy, and he’s had some in-season success,” added Jones on the current head coach.

“Now, he’s come up short three times in advancing us in the playoffs. But I like the fact that he’s hanging around the rim. And I like what the team has done to hang around the rim.”

In the NFL, all you can do is put yourself in position to win postseason games while starting a quarterback you truly believe can get you to the promised land. Jones clearly still believes in Dak; meanwhile, the team continues to get to the postseason and has even hosted games. They’ve just got to come through.
