Stephen Jones is out here saying the Dallas Cowboys are “close” to getting things right, even after that absolutely brutal overtime loss to the Cardinals where they coughed up a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. You’d think a meltdown like that would make them rethink everything, but apparently, not in Dallas.
Another One Slips Away
Seriously, blowing a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter and then losing in overtime? That’s the kind of loss that crushes a team’s spirit, the kind that makes you question everything from top to bottom. For the Cowboys, it happened against the Cardinals, and it absolutely did not inspire confidence in anyone watching. Yet, the internal vibe in Dallas seems to be… different.
Trade Talk Isn’t Dying Down
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been pretty consistent that the team is always looking to add to the roster via trade. And guess what? Executive Vice President Stephen Jones hopped on 105.3 The Fan on Monday and straight up said Sunday’s gut-wrenching loss has not changed their thinking one bit. “We think we’re close,” Jones said, as reported by Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. He added, “We think we can get this ship righted and that we can have success.” Talk about an unwavering belief, even when the evidence on the field is screaming something else.
The Big Question: Can One Player Fix This?
After watching the Cowboys for eight weeks, it’s tough to see how any single player they could bring in via trade is suddenly going to be the magic bullet to completely change their fortunes. The Jones family, however, appears to see things way differently. This means you can bet your bottom dollar they’ll be chasing a trade right up until the deadline. They’re convinced they’re just one piece away from righting the ship. Let’s see if that belief pays off for them.
