Consequences? Are you talking about consequences? Sheesh...

I have been a Cowboys fan my entire life.  (So much so I drove to Dallas in 1989 for the Tom Landry Day Parade!)  Now the Cowboys have hit an all-time low.  What an embarrassing season.  Firing Wade Phillips will only mask the problems.  This is arguably one of the most talented teams Dallas has had in years... and yet, we stink :-/

Jones called the loss to Green Bay a " setback".  A setback is when you lose your keys and can't go to the gym, or when you spill coffee on your pants before a meeting or even when you fumble the ball in the snow and MIami recovers and scores a touchdown.  Let's call this what it really is... a stinking DISASTER!  

Jerry Jones: 'Consequences' will follow 1-7 Cowboys' latest loss

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones vowed changes on Sunday night after his team fell to 1-7 following a 45-7 loss in Green Bay.

Jones, who has consistently expressed shock each week recently as his team has fallen further out of the playoff hunt, did not indicate that anyone would be safe.

"There are a lot of people here who are certainly going to suffer and suffer consequences," Jones said, via ESPN. "I'm talking about within the team -- players, coaches who have got careers. This is certainly a setback."  The Cowboys entered the season as a team many analysts saw as a Super Bowl contender. And Jones admitted those aspirations have made the fall to 1-7 especially sour.


The owner, who said as recently as Friday that coach Wade Phillips would remain in place all season, held off specifically targeting Phillips' job after the loss to the Packers.  "We have so many things that we need to correct and address, as this game so vividly exposed and previous games have," Jones said. "I've got a lot of work to do, got a lot of decisions to make.  "And it's not just one, two, three or four. There are several decisions. I think everybody in this country would agree that there's a lot wrong with this team that we've got to address, and I'm certainly the one to address it."


Phillips didn't speculate on whether he could be fired. The Cowboys have in-house candidates -- such as offensive coordinator Jason Garrett or and secondary coach Dave Campo, the team's former head coach -- they could turn to if Jones fires Phillips. -- Sean Leahy
