Very frustrating off-season

Whirlwin · Jul 16, 2021

I can’t wait for football. Yes even preseason football. I’m not sure if people realize how important it is to these rookies, the Evaluation. I usually try to look for the positive. But again it’s been a difficult off season. I’m sure for many fans . They would be nothing better than to come out of the gate and beat Tampa Bay. At least when it comes down to the fourth quarter. And we have an opportunity to win. Get ready my cowboy brothers , And sisters. it’s Almost time. Go cowboys

Hoping for a good season.

the coordinators are strong coaches this year.

We have a ton of younger players.

Zeke is fit,

the OL is a big question tough.

Hey Whirl, definitely ready for football!
Your post did not reflect your title.
Tell us what was so frustrating about the offseason?

Bad draft?
Injuries?
Bad coaching hires?
Lack of star FA additions?

Fill us in

Yeah I hate this part of the year

Actually the off-season has been decent for the Cowboys. Covid sucks and the wokeness of the NFL is a drag but the Cowboys have had a good off season. Got Dak done. Decent draft. I think Urban and Neal make a difference on D. New DC which is a huge plus. Smith supposedly is healthy again. Gregory behaved. Zeke stayed out of trouble. The off season has been good in Dallas.

Zeke is fit? That is the understatement of the year. Saw a pic of him on Instagram today and he is freakin' shredded. That dude is motivated.

Every off season has been frustrating for me for a long while now. I get pumped the closer we get to the season though. Speaking of pre-season, I used to drive all the way to Waco get a hotel room typically with the wife and kids to watch the game when they were blacked out, early to mid 80s maybe?

How quickly we have forgotten 2020

I use to go to my Grand parents house In Paris Or Sulphur Springs when games were blacked out Both sides of the family are Cowboys fans My Dad played on a Highschool team with Forrest Gregg

"My Dad played on a Highschool team with Forrest Gregg"

That's pretty awesome, Forrest Greg played on 6 different NFL Title Teams, not to many folks can say that. Had that one good year in Cincy as coach though. Seemed like a class guy as i recall him.

Was actually thinking today.....

Is it just me or does it seem like the time we spend not playing games or in camp outnumbers the time otherwise by at least 5 to 1?

It's not anywhere near that way, but the season just flies by and the offseason is forever.

Some more lengthy Januarys may help, but still....

Especially when our team doesn't extend our exacting football interest past the playoffs by not either getting there, or not getting past the 1st game they play in it.

I would like to see our team give me more weeks of football!

Yeah I've about had it with reading people discuss if we should intentionally lose games or not before the leaves are gone in the Northeast.

It's honestly 6 months on and 6 off when you suck....but it still doesn't feel that way.

I don't get your point of it being frustrating brother..

Actually a very quick offseason it’s felt like. Camp is less than a week away.

I’m always excited about not only training camp but the draft, rookie mini-camps, OTA’s, veteran mini-camps and especially preseason games. That’s where the TEAM is made. Just watch the veterans on the sidelines during these preseason games cheering on the draft picks and UDFA’s. Very enjoyable to watch and experience. Less knowledgeable fans say they don’t enjoy watching preseason games. I don’t miss a minute.

Not sure why every post you make, even positive ones, seem to contain a dig at other fans but I can only conclude it's something you need to do for yourself.

For the record, you haven't demonstrated a damn thing to suggest you're more "knowledgeable" than anyone else here.

Im not trying to be a contrarian I thought we had a good off season? Considering the draft class was panned by the media. The Quinn and gang hire was excellent. We'll see about the FA. Next TC come on Wright come Bohanna.
