In case Jason Garrett didn’t hear Jerry Jones’ critique the first two times, allow the Cowboys owner to repeat.

“Let me just say this. I think all of us, including the fans, wanna win a damn football game, OK?” Jones said Wednesday on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”

“Now I know we’ve got a lot of other things to think about. Who’s coaching? Who’s playing? Who’s compared to another player someplace else? How ‘bout let’s win some ball games, folks? We can take that other stuff. I’m not known as a guy who gets hand cramps when I’m writing checks, but I wanna win some football games.”

Jones has showed a lot of patience with Garrett, who is in his ninth full season coaching the team and has yet to reach an NFC Championship Game. But that patience seemingly ended abruptly when the team lost to the Patriots on Sunday with Jones now speaking three different times in four days about Garrett’s ominous future.

Garrett can start to stifle that talk when the 6-5 Cowboys play the 8-3 Bills on Thanksgiving.

“No one in this country has earned the right to say ‘I’m a Jason Garrett man’ more than me. I am his man,” Jones said.

“We want the very same thing and that’s for our players to play at their very best, and we want his staff to coach at their very best. The bottom line is, we get graded. I’m in business, I don’t have to win the Super Bowl in business every year, I can come in sixth and have a hell of a year. But in this business, you’ve gotta come in first… So fundamentally, you’ve asked for something that’s a very narrow window to begin with. I want Jason to get it done.”

Though Garrett has five more opportunities to “get it done,” his seat will continue to sizzle if he doesn’t.
