Our undisciplined nature came back to bite us yet again.

Another season of could-have-beens and what-ifs.

To quote Denny Green, the Dallas Cowboys are who we thought they were. A talented, but underachieving team.

Until they prove us wrong, we have no reason to expect or hope for anything better.

Hater or homer, this was a terrible way to end a season.

On to the draft, I suppose. I’ll see if I can muster up enough hope for 2022 success between now and September.

Guess the talking heads were right ....for not giving this team much credit for their victories in the season. And then folding like a cheap tent when up against a respectable team even with home field advantage. Truth hurts sometimes.

I know Dak is taking the brunt of all this (and I'm not going to debate if it's warranted or not here) but this entire team let us down. How many penalties did we have? 15? Come on. And the defense was supposed to be getting hot down the stretch, yet, they can never be depended on when we really need them. *cough* 3rd downs *cough*

This season did nothing but further reinforce my opinion that the Cowboys are a team built for flash and absolutely no substance.

When the tough teams show up, they crumble early and try to make a valiant, but unsuccessful comeback.

I mean its obvious they have moments of brilliance , and a lot of the time they are able to come back, but they can't win the tough games by playing stupid football and playing undisciplined.

Dak is not the only problem that is true and he is a good QB, but he is not a 40 million dollar GREAT QB.

ABSOLUTELY perfectly titled OP.

It's called sizzle. Jerry loves him some sizzle.

Kinda like even bad publicity sells.

And even THIS embarrassment in his eyes, still sells. And that's what matters. To him anyway.

What a sad joke.

It's a huge issue when your team leaders are players like Randy Gregory who shrugs and laughs off every idiotic pre-snap penalty or inexplicable 3rd and forever personal foul or defensive holding call.

That was the theme all year. And with teams worse than the 49ers. My expectations were not high.

Bro, don’t bother. They got beyond exactly what was needed this year and got nowhere. Don’t put energy into this henceforth. You can do so much more.
