That's not enough to make me forgive Jerry for the mess he has made of a once proud franchise. His making the incompetent Jason Garrett the HC is one of the worst mistakes he ever made! Dallas lost yet another close game today that they should have won because of Jason's poor clock management and his propensity to play not to lose rather than play to win. He should be fired, but Jerry is too stubborn to admit he made a mistake. That quality about him is starting to remind me of Obama!

I didn’t like the way Landry was fired. Then it seemed like he ran off Jimmy Johnson. Once he hired Switzer, it kind of went down hill for me.

I don’t like coaches like Garret who constantly hide their face behind a play card on the sideline.

To me it’s a clear sign of psychological weakness.

We will probably still disagree about Jerry Jones but I think you're right about Jason Garrett. I had high hopes for him when he was made the coach and I did like him during his days a backup QB for the Boys.

The post-game show on The Ticket (local sports station) dissected the final few moments of the game. One of the hosts, Donovan Lewis, and I were on the same wavelength -- that holding call on third down set things up perfectly for the Lions. I knew it was over then.

Norm Hitzges, the program's main host, opined that a kneel down on third would have been a better, safer call followed by a punt on fourth down. Points weren't the objective in the waning moments -- leaving Stafford (a former Highland Park Scot) with no more than 25 seconds would've been more prudent. Then again, he still may have crafted another fantastic game-winning drive.
