How’s everyone feeling about the team as of right now?

Personally speaking, I am still finding it really hard to be excited about things. Usually I’ll get pretty amped up for the draft and find a sliver of hope as to how the team can/will be good during the upcoming season. Right now though, I just don’t have it.

I’ve never been this emotionally detached from the Cowboys. I thought the dejection after the 49er game catastrophe would subside, but it hasn’t.

I’ve religiously watched the Cowboys since I was 7 years old, and that won’t change. But I just can’t find it in me to me excited about anything concerning the team or organization. I can appreciate when they play well during the regular season, but at the end of the day, I (and any reasonable fan) want/need more. And as currently constructed, a few good regular season performances is the absolute best we can hope for from this team. Because once January rolls around, we all know how the script plays out.

I don’t know. I guess I wanted to do a general check in with you guys and see where you’re at. And maybe some of you can help me find something to be optimistic or excited about.

The Rams, the Bucks and the Packers. They all are better than us, according to some, but they all are one injury away from being worse than us. We won't have to face all three of those teams in the playoffs. Our division is weak so we will be making the playoffs. Which means we might have to only best one real contender to make it to the SB.

We just need to stay healthy and have a bit of luck.

I have become, "comfortably numb."
For the first time since the 89 season, I have low expectations.
2021 ended with a whimper, we lost some key players without replacing them (they needed to go), and all I hear the past few seasons are meaningless platitudes from the team 'leaders.'
I hope the team does well and advances in the playoffs, but until this team can consistently compete with the big dogs, I have a sense of inevitable disappointment. Gaudy regular season statistics just don't cut it.

Jwoot..this team is just beating my enthusiasm almost to irreparable status and I hate saying that because I love the cowboys..it's sad .

I am as depressed as the Campo years...reason being, we could have made ourselves a VERY formidable team, but Booger and Chuckles chose to put us even FURTHER behind the big boys. We have been totally lapped. There is ZERO chance of an NFC Championship appearance by us next year, no matter how well the draft goes. So why be excited. There is NO WAY that Duk Pratfall will be able to adapt to this many changes at WR....he is going to be VERY average at best!!!

Gonna hear a lot of postgame..... "I need to be better.....I will be better."

New chapter in the Book of Platitudes - Cowboys Bible verses.

Bad ownership is hard to overcome.

I appreciate these posts. The NFL and Cowboys were the sports tops for me for decades. Jerry and the league have taken the joy out of it for me. For the Cowboys it’s just more of the same. I actually don’t hate the moves this off season. Gregory was unreliable since day one. Collins was an enigmatic flake. Cooper was out of shape and inconsistent. My issue is that they got next to nothing for Cooper and cut a former pro bowler in Collins. Just horrible asset management. With the Jones family in charge nothing is going to change. I am a fan but I have zero expectations.

this is where i have been at for a long time

You and me both, brother. We’ve been drug through the dirt so many times that it doesn’t even phase us anymore. Feels like an eternal wheel of disappointments. Entertaining disappointments, but disappointments nonetheless.

Why does my team have to suck and do stupid things that obviously make them a worse team?

12 and 5 doesn't suck.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

I will always be a fan but if my lawn need watering this coming fall I will be tending to that instead on a Sunday. In years past it was cowboys and nothing else! Now it's everything else then the Cowboys. My spirit is broken.

I'll just admit that the lack of any real effort coming from the Dallas FO has left me unenthused for the upcoming season.

Could the Dallas Cowboys' FO be any less inclined to drum up real encouragement for a successful season? Not lately!!

This organization actually appears to be totally complacent, in terms of drumming up real interest for their followers. It's sad.

It is quickly becoming increasingly obvious that Jerry, Stephen and his family business partners are only inspired by wealth!

I've been an avid and enthusiastic fan of this team since their inception into the NFL. That scenario is now coming to an end.

That blockchain announcement got me pumped up!

Me too!!!!
I am trying to figure out how many more games were gonna win this season,?!?!?

 

[Pantone282C]

One and done sucks.

One and done sucks.

That it does!
Repeat performance coming up

 

[john van brocklin]

Excited !!! Yes I am. I have been a Cowboys Fans since we lost t the Colts in the Super Bowl.

I'm Jacked about Micah , what 's he gonna do for an encore? Ditto Trevon Osi and Neville

I think the WR corps will be a little more exciting actually. I'm excited about the Draft. Will we get an OLineman that will be a player, Another LB, A run stuffer?

It's off season Hope springs eternal

I will have what you're drinking my man!

Yep we have amateurs running the team.
We are at a tremendous competitive disadvantage
