Cowboys SB Drought - 2025 Assessment

I think this is a reasonably fair assessment of the Cowboys in 2025. I disagree with some comments about the 2024 defense though. It was not just the Micah Parsons injury. They were banged up at CB and were playing some pretty awful backups to backups that really hurt them. And it wasn't just losing Quinn either. The Cowboys defense got pummeled by the Packer with Quinn.

The one thing I think is that every year no one knows what any team will look like when the season starts. Like the Cowboys in 2024, teams will suffer injuries and have to play backups. That changes everything. If Washington loses Daniels to injury, does anyone think they won't lose some games as a result? Also, some players who had career years in 2024 will not be able to repeat those years in 2025. Will Saquon Barkley rush for 2000 yards again? No player in NFL history has rushed for 2000 yards twice, let alone in consecutive years.

One thing we can be certain of is not everything we expect will come to fruition.

The NFL is the hardest sports league to look at a schedule before the season starts and accurately predict what’s going to happen.

I think everyone is confused on the defense. They were bad but got better with familiarity and guys getting healthy. So it’s tough to say what they…..

Amazing opening line of the article: “When the Dallas Cowboys won their third Super Bowl of the Jerry Jones era, Jones was 53 years old. Jones is 82 now…”

Yep. Especially the NFC. Cowboys, 49ers didn’t even make the playoffs who saw that coming?

Remember folks, this franchise is closer to 50 years of no NFC Championship appearance let alone a SB win.

it went from really bad to mediocre at best
and that was against average teams
look at what Philthy did to us

Honestly this team is nothing more than a very very average team at best. You don't win playoff games with average teams.

Yeah, I caught that too. I was 42 and living life!

You forgot to put "drought" in quotes!

Yeah...we were ALL younger...and probably skinnier.....than we were back then!!

Championships don’t matter.

Jerry is having fun working with his kids and being a celebrity.

Nothing else matters. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I signed up for this as a kid.

Did I like “those Super Bowls?” The answer is getting real close to “no” if this was the eventual cost.

I don’t live in the past because every year the team is different so the teams could be better or worse. I’ll leave living in past misery and expecting more of the same for others. It’s not healthy.

maybe. maybe not. we did play Panthers, Giants at the end of the year. that contributed a lot to defense looking better.

but trends matter. and the trend has been you know what.

why? because it shows the way things work and the way things will tend to continue to work.
we have seen Jerry just be complacent and not caring with no long term plan and only short term one year plans.

50 years, a bit dramatic.

Unfortunately, its not hard to predict how the cowboys will do, which is mostly on Jerry.
