After yet another brutal loss, dropping the team’s record to 6-7 (but still in first place in the NFC East), Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones openly expressed disappointment in how his team played.
Following the 31-24 loss to the Bears, a very frustrated Jones told reporters, “We did all of the things that you can do that causes you to lose football games.”

“These guys are mentally OK for me, and all these guys are talented enough for me, so that’s good,” Jones also said, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. “I’m questioning how to put together a coordinated one that complements each other, how to put together a team that can win a football game… We’re not collectively getting together as a team and doing the things it takes to win ball games.”
“It’s leveled out here,” Jones added. “It’s losing, losing, losing. I’m not trying to be funny here, but the point is we’ve got to win a football game. I don’t care what the standings are, what the numbers are. We had thought that we could come up here and play a good team, play a fine football game and get our act to where we’re starting to look like a team that could — if we by the slim chance get in the playoffs — where we could win. We can’t do that until we play and start winning the football games, and we’ve got three more to play. When we do that, we can go.”
“We know that the score didn’t indicate how bad they beat us tonight,” he said.
Jones is 100 percent right too, but who is really to blame? If you ask former Cowboys great Troy Aikman, it’s not the head coach. The blame for Jerry lies with the guy in the mirror.
