Jerry says we were just unlucky this year. Team is loaded with talent. Next year is our year for sure.
Bwaaahaahahahahahahhaa.

If the bold were true, this thread would not exist. They do not learn lessons because that requires paying for one's mistakes and they pay for nothing. They err with impunity and will continue to do so.The Boys have 10 draft picks coming up and perhaps drafting in the 4-8 range.
Offensive line will come back strong after this year’s injuries.
Rookies are getting valuable reps on the field.
Front office learned their lesson in signing over the hill FA.
We'll see.
Love the confidence but troubled by some points...OL comes back healthy? There is zero guarantee this will happen, and even less of a guarantee that Smith and Martin remain healthy going forward. Just how it is with the mileage on their bodies. Second, yes rookies are getting valuable time on the field. Front office learning a lesson? This will never, ever, ever, happen with Jerry in charge. They have so many issues with depth, and refuse to sign key FA in the off season that they will again take chances on vets, or banged up guys to fill holes...some things never change, and there is totally no indication this will happen unfortunately
All Droughts must come to an end and it starts next year.Love the confidence but troubled by some points...OL comes back healthy?

I'd like to share the enthusiasm, but to be honest I can't. Even if healthy, question marks at QB, as well as at RB right now. It will be one of the offseasons where we read.."if everything goes as planned, the Cowboys will compete." We know how that worked for us this yearAll Droughts must come to an end and it starts next year.
The OL will be healthier next year compared to today, meaning players will start out healthy. Yes , injuries can and most likely continue.

in their own stadium --- is 37-35 and 20-20 the past 5 season.
We also thought Zeke and Jaylon were good picks at one time. I'd like to see a larger sample size before saying last years haul was a success.True, but the last draft hall was pretty good.
I know right?!Here we go again.
Good point, but so far so good. Also Zeke and Jaylon were picked at higher draft spots,We also thought Zeke and Jaylon were good picks at one time. I'd like to see a larger sample size before saying last years haul was a success.

…..and the eagerness to get on the injured list.They keep bringing in head coaches that can't put the fear of god in players. Jimmy and Parcells were the only two to have that trait. No fear of being cut leads to no accountability.
So after 25 years the front office has finally learned their lesson? Really?
Wow - that's good to know. I'll write that down.
Folks, look, it's not like the FO hasn't put together a team that can make a run over the last 25 years...
2007 and even recently in 2016, they were the #1 seed. Remember all the praise for drafting Dak in the 4th? The rookie production from Zeke? That heralded OL, including drafting Martin (which was a smart draft move) over Johnny Football (which everyone thought Jerry would draft)?? Yeah, that was Will McClay and the rest of the player personnel staff. It's not all Jerry. I would argue these days it may not even be 50% Jerry's decision.
Can't put it all on them for (a) injuries at key positions and (b) the players not living up to the bill, as in 2016 and 2007 when having the #1 seed.
And let's not forget 2009 and 2014, when they advanced to the divisional game.
I'm not going to let Jerrah and Company off free, but don't tell me that they're incapable of putting a roster together, especially through the draft. What they NEED though is more on defense from the draft..DL, LB, DB, all of the above.

Better to hope they get lucky than smart. The owner hired an idiot as his GM, who hired his son to help him prove incompetency is hereditary as long as they don't pay for mistakes.
Yeah when I'm not in a bad mood about this team and can think rationally, this years draft of CeeDee, Diggs, Gallimore. The emerging Schultz and the development of Conner Williams, Bdz, Gregory. There is hope for the future as far as talent goes.True, but the last draft hall was pretty good.

The annoying, nagging voice on the back of my head that reminds me who the FO consists of is a bit of a downer tho.
I hope we can develop and draft guys that can rise above the dysfunctional organization and win regardless, just like Troy and company did in '95. It can be done, the Switzer years were the height if the dysfunctional culture and we still won, but we had pro bowl players at almost every position. But it can happen.
