The Most Painful NFL Teams to Watch (Cowboys #7)

[DallasCowboys2080]

Cowboys # 7 & I have watched every single game this season all the way thru (even till the rolling credits ended) as probably most of you all diehards have too.
I figured they would be higher than 7. I nearly fell asleep during the Packers game when Cowboys were on offense (and they weren't on offense long LOL). Nearly! If it wasn't for a free shot of Jäger offered by a bar buddy i probably would have fallen asleep.

That's funny, I DID fall sleep during the GB game. Can't remember the last time that happened.

They are the worst team to watch, because of how they play down to the level of the opponent...

lol play down? that presupposes they have an up to play down from? hahah (yeh i know Romo)

 

[JoeBoBBY]

Horrible. Horrible they have been this season. Just ugly, non disciplined, no creativity. -- I know the expecattions were high, so I am guessing that plays a role in it, but I cant remember a worst season....maybe the 5-11 Salary -cappped Campo years...??

I think the defense was the best unit to watch. Why? Their incompetence sometimes turned into competent plays and scrappy players sometimes looked as if they played on a Top 5 rated defense. Sadly, their incompetence usually returned and the secondary allowed big TD plays and receptions all over generally.

The Dallas offense was boring to watch. Predictable, no imagination and SO MUCH futility on third downs.

This team cant be worse next year. that is what is keeping me optimistic.

for the meantime, let's think DRAFT!!!!

yeh true that. if anything it was the defense that brought something even the they are setting up for a record negative on turnovers (which is inversely related to other teams not taking risks against us because our offense cant score).

i enjoyed watching them shut down some good teams this season for 3 quarters + until fatigue set in due to a highschool offense that could only manage to put up FGs for the most part.

This offense is as bad as any one I can remember. And it hasn't been much better that way since 2007.

There's just no explosion to this offense. It sustains long drives that end in field goals.

I've been saying this for years but they would flourish under a west coast offense.

 

[darthseinfeld]

They are very boring, amd not in a Bill Parcells way

We don't play down to anyone. I don't believe there are many teams worse. Perhaps the Browns, but it's close.

That left a mark................good Lord.

This, and we only get as high as #7?


7. Dallas Cowboys

They’ve started Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel this year, and it shows. They have the second-fewest big plays this season and are in the top 10 of getting big plays called back by penalty.

This had been true in previous years, but they're not playing down to anyone this year. They suck.

Lad, I am glad you brought up fatigue. I noticed players gasping for breath with mouths opened in the 3rd and 4th quarters -- on defense And offense. Dez often seemed fatigues though he made little impact on moving the ball and the O line seemed . . . disoriented at times.
The defense seemed to be fatigues EVERY 4th qauarter. It might be as you mentioned that the defense's fatigue owed much to the offense's 3 and out act for much of the year. Maybe a lack of conditioning. Maybe the hurry-up tempo of the opposing offenses took the wind out of the defense.
That is something I hope the coaches (the ones not fired) will look at in the offseason.

They are very boring, amd not in a Bill Parcells way

Bill Parcells was just doing what he thought the team needed to win games. They would play more aggressively when he thought the team was overmatched. In games he thought they were better in he'd do just enough to win. Jason Garrett just tries not to lose or lose that badly against every opponent. I thought he might've been coming out of his shell at little last year when we took it to Washington in Week 17, but that was just an outlier. I think the team was just upset that Washington was playing dirty.

Another 1-3 years with Parcells. Romo is a super bowl champion......

 

[cowboyblue22]

agree they are very bad Cleveland browns bad and yes I have turned them off at half time several times this year.

 

[DallasDomination]

there's only 2 teams more boring to watch than the Cowboys. And that the 49ers and the Rams.

some of those teams ahead of Dallas are much more entertaining.

 

[MagicMan]

They may have placed #7 on the most painful team to watch list.......but I heard from a source that they are the most popular tactic on the water boarding checklist.

Go COWBOYS

Can't we be number one at something.....................geez.
