Updates and bits

Good Post, Hopefully the Culture Change will bring with it some much needed disapline, penalties killed this team during the McCarthy era.It is hard to be successful is this league if you lead the league in penalties, this must improve.

MM said the same thing when he was hired. people don't remember 2 years back much less 5 years back. same thing with Garrett. how many times did we hear culture from him. then during Wade, it was Jerry who talked about culture change. and parcells did the same thing.

Jerry counts on people not remember 4 years ago to be able to re-sell the same thing. over and over.

that stupidity still gets on my nerves. even if they won the game there shouldn't be a party. the only party comes after superbowl win. otherwise go back to the drawing table. and that single act explains how jerry thinks.

Couple that with the fact that there were zero repercussions for being a knuckle head.

What if the missing piece all this time was a ping pong table?

My money's on the paintball.

Next week its the "Trust Fall"

You sound more hopeless than he does.....

I am far from hopeless. Unlike the constant whiners.

It’s a piece that has nothing of substance. I’m not buying into anything until these players perform.

This is absolutely the best time of the year for the resident homers.

They have crawled out from beneath their rocks and won't even recognize the fact that they were wrong last season.

They have their FO acquiring jags, busts, and rookies and can now make the same unbased proclamations they did last season, just with different coaches and players.

As the season progresses and reality sets in, they again start going back into the shadows and vow "we'll show em next year", lol

 

[jazzcat22]

And therein lies the problem. Great teams are cohesive units that all operate on a single wavelength. Not this subculture within a culture nonsense. The latter is how you end up with Sam Williams planning a victory party before the GB game.

So that is Jerry's fault too?
In your eyes, probably yes. Then again, you never have anything positive to say.
And then Balme it on 30 years battle cry.

Jerry seems to be doing better in some areas, he seems to be letting the Head Coach make decisions and It looks like things are improving. The Parsons contract could have and should have been done by now however. It will be interesting to see what Schottenheimer's staff can do with the culture in Big D.Looks good early on though.

 

[jazzcat22]

True.
Haters will hate no matter what.
Homers will homer no matter what.

Then there are those of us, like myself, that are in between. Can look at the bright side, and also see the things are are not so good. However, we get the brunt from the haters and hammers because they do not agree.

It’s Jerry’s franchise. He sets the tone for it and he alone is responsible for 30 years of this cancerous culture. Not sure how you blame someone else for this.

What positivity should anyone have looking at 30 years of just utter garbage? Whatever pride this franchise had to its name has long been spent. We are a sad punch line.

Do you not realize that you constantly whine about others whining?....thats not being " in between"

Confucius said, "Do not impose upon others that which you yourself do not desire"

I'd be happy with a NFC Championship game first. It is kind of sad that the furthest we've gotten since the glory days is 2014, while we continue to see other teams win around the league, and see other teams in the Metroplex do better in their sports than the cowboys do in football. Don't get me wrong, I've been to two Cowboys Superbowl parades, A Dallas Stars Stanley cup parade, a Dallas Mavericks parade. I love seeing all the local teams here having success but I am a Cowboys fan first and foremost, and it hurts seeing no progress being made, that the team can't even get to an NFCCG. Culture is what is most wrong with the Cowboys, but can we honestly say the new coach isn't another puppet? I had hopes with Big Mike, but I don't quite feel we upgraded either with the coach.

I understand both sides but what I have seen so far gives me hope for the future in Dallas.

Its easy to say the right things now, lets see how the season goes.

Well if they wasn't saying the right things now you guys would be feasting and killing them on it

After years of hearing the same thing I think I’d appreciate some candor for a change.

who is whinning. the problem with folks like you have sunshine up their rear end 24x7, is when they see somebody speak reality, they call it whining and negativity...

you are like that character in lego movie. ...."everything is awsome"...

he always always always does that after a disasterous season. if we had a decent season, then he meddles, he tries to tweak things and he always does the wrong thing. but when shiet hits the fan, he steps back. seemingly showing he has changed. he doesn't like being called out, even last season when he was, he becamse combative....
next season he will be back meddling again. if we do good, then he meddles to take credit and tries to tweak again. if we do bad, he will justify it because he is the GM and he as to meddle.

its going to turn into shiet sooner or later. its jerry.

 

[phildadon86]

Fans: culture sucks. Change it

Team: we recognize the need to change the culture so we’re trying to do that

Fans: only suckers think culture change means anything

You guys are the most miserable lot imaginable

Ummm.

https://insidethestar.com/stephen-jones-claims-cowboys-do-not-have-a-culture-problem-at-nfl-combine

The team denied a culture problem. Nice try though.

 

[phildadon86]

Yep, on cue as usual, the negative Nancie’s chime in.

LOL.

30 years of failure will create more negativity then positivity.

Imagine if you were at your job for 30 years, seen 10 different supervisors but the same President, and the new Supervisor comes in and says "I swear things are going to be different this time."

Would you be apprehensive and want to see it instead of hear it?

 

[pitt33]

Yup. Cant do anything other than complain.

I get what you’re saying, but so many years of coaching, so-called culture and training camp slogan changes with the same end result can make fans jaded.

It’s not easy being a Cowboys fan.

In a sense, I now know how the Lions fans felt all those years.

 

[Havic]

But yet you still chose to rag about it.

Show me. Don’t tell me. Talk is cheap.

 

[Rockport]

lol on ol’ Schotty changing the culture. To impact this teams culture, you must possess full authority to hire and fire your staff and hire and fire players. Ol’ Schotty has no authority over either one. Explain to me how a toothless figurehead “head coach” establishes a new culture when all players and coaches answer directly to Jerry.

I would but it would obviously be over your head.
