  The Cowboys are a team with 10 win talent that has a 4 win coach and general manager.  Jason Garrett see's no advantage to holding on to the football for awhile.  Every play has to be a trick.  If a running play fails to produce a touchdown, the running game has to be abandoned.  If Andy Reid says he lost a game because he took his foot odd the gas, Garrett takes it to heart.  And that dream team is great this year.  But Jerry is making plenty of money.
  The Cowboys will make the worst defense in the league look like the 85 Bears this week.  Dallas will cross midfield once, on the field goal drive, hit 2 long passes for scores and spend the rest of the day on 3 (or less) and outs.  Tony Romo may throw the ball 60 times.  The Patriots will likely start all their drives no worse than their own 40, putting Rob Ryan in awful situations all day long.  But Jerry is making plenty of money.
  The GM puts too much stock in these great talents that are too fragile to play in the NFL.  If Felix Jones gets injured again it will clinch it that he is one of these players.  Dez Bryant looks like it, as do a few others.  Do not put Tony Romo in that category.  His injuries are from very large people hitting him hard and falling on top of him, not simply running and cutting.   But the mausoleum he built will always be filled with his good corporate buddies, quietly making business deals with a football game maybe happening in the background.  What other stadium sells so many tickets that can't even see the field.  But because it's the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry is making plenty of money.  And as long as he is, they will never win another Super Bowl.
