Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones again expressed confidence in his team, saying that he doesn't see a 1-4 team and added -- once again -- that he trusts head coach Wade Phillips and his staff. "A lot of people say the old saying, 'You are what you are,' when you look at 1-4," Jones said Tuesday on his weekly radio show on KRLD-FM in Dallas. "We are not that. Our team is doing some very good things." It was a departure from Jones' comment that he was not optimistic right after Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Cowboys are third in the NFL in total offense and fourth in total defense, yet have won just one of their first five games. "I believe we can turn things around," Jones said. "While the odds are against us, we can make all the things happen that we wanted to do this year." Jones said the 1-4 record was "improbable" and that his team has had some bad luck, and to get back to being competitive in the NFC the Cowboys need to "reel off six, seven ballgames in a row, and we've got to start against New York."

Only way it works Jerry is if you sit in your office (with your son) and quit meddling in team affairs. Just sign the checks...
It's possible. But I doubt it in a tough division. Why did everyone write that division off after two or three weeks? Just because there's not one dominant team doesn't mean there aren't three pretty damn good ones. The Eagles are looking great no matter who's at QB. The Redskins have been a bit inconsistent but beat Philly on the road and are 2-0 in the division, and the Giants have really turned things around after a disastrous start.
