Jerry Jones was right about the Cowboys' terrible decision during the 4th fall

I will say something that people who cover the NFL have no reason to say for a long time: Jerry Jones was right.

In an overtime loss to Texans on Sunday night, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett opted to beat the striker in fourth and first place on the Houston 42-meter line in the first possession of the extra frame. . This unnecessarily cautious decision made the ball in Houston, who rushed for 72 yards to score the winning goal.

After the match, Jones called his coach.

"We were being downplayed. It is time to take risks at this time. "

He is right.

Why did not Dallas go?

Last week, the Colts were in a similar situation against the Texans. They won the fourth downhill in overtime. Unlike the Cowboys this week, the Colts were still on their side, their 43-yard line, 27 seconds from the end. They did not survive and it cost them the game.

Garrett did not say anything about the Colts' decision last week as he defended his decision after the match. He did not need it. It was not applicable anyway.

But, hey, this job was really long, not a matter of a quarter of an inch.

"You know, we had a third and two goals and we did not do much about it, we felt as if, at this point in the game, our defense was playing, the idea was to nail them there, "Garrett said after the match.

Dallas's defense was playing pretty well, but it still yielded a lot of yards, including 462 in the night. They were also on the field 76 games Sunday night, including 69 before the last possession of Houston. And in a situation where the Texans only needed to reach their goal, putting the ball back into a gas defense was asking for trouble.

That's exactly what happened too. DeAndre Hopkins got the ball and pushed at least five contenders in for a 49-yard win, just four games after Dallas hit.

Dallas also had numbers

Houston had done a good job limiting the current Cowboys game. They failed to run at least 100 yards for the second time this season. Garrett highlighted their inability to get the first try in the third and second previous match.

But you must always play the odds. And the HEAVILY figures have favored the Cowboys in this situation.

As Blogging the Boys pointed out, SB Nation's home for Cowboy fans:

The Cowboys have one of the best back of the NFL, they have a quarterback running, they have options in this situation. Instead, they made the inevitable. They pushed the ball and lost the match.

This season, the Cowboys converted 66.7% of their fourth game. The league average is just 56.8 percent. So, even with a strong offensive line, Dallas is ALWAYS better than most NFL players in converting their bottom four.

Hell, they did it in a similar situation a week ago.

That's not all Jerry had to say

This Garrett seat has never really heated, despite the hot head of its owner, which is one of the greatest mysteries of the NFL of this century. Garrett is in his eighth season and has only twice taken the team to the playoffs. It's not that he's a bad coach, like a Marc Trestman or such a person, but he's become one of those very disappointing and very mean types of Fisher-esque.

Jones's comments also included his disappointment.

Of course, he's not guessing right after that. Maybe he should not be out of the game either.

It's early, but the Cowboys do not feel like making a third playoff appearance with Garrett this season. We'll see how much Jones guessed in January.
