Did people really think this team would make a run?

Anybody who watched this team play in the second half of the season could have told you this team was one and done.
Fans must have really bought into the SB hype earlier in the year to be this disappointed with the outcome.
I expected this team to get blown out like the Eagles did so I was pleasantly surprised to see them fight.

I didn't. I wasn't sure we would lose to Garrapolo, but no way we were beating Brady and Rodgers.

I was 50/50 on the SF game, didn't think we would win two.

We hoped. Once again we were left disappointed.

I was hopeful. Especially against the Niners. Really all you can be. The NFL is a tough place to win. The silver lining with losing yesterday is I had pretty much zero confidence we would waltz into Lambeau Field and beat a well rested Packers team. At least now I don't have to worry about it all week. lol

I thought we were winning the next 4 Super Bowls but I’m kind of a half glass full type of guy….

The owner did. I didn't.

I thought they had a chance yesterday but that was it.

They could go 15-2 next year and get the bye and I’d still not be confident

Oh, yeah.

Jerry, Stephen and Charlotte Jones.

That's about it. Except the folks in the asylums, of course...

Expected one and done.

Then when I saw we got the Niners...was thinking 50-50 to get the first.

I'll admit I fell for it, mainly because of our defense. When Dlaw and Gregory came back, combined with Parsons and an improving secondary, I saw the potential to finally have a defense to get you through some tough playoff games.

But they couldn't even get out of their own way with the stupid penalties

I felt they had the capability to make a long run but being capable and actually doing it are separate things.

They could go 17-0 and make it to the NFC Championship game and I'll still think we're doomed. Thanks Jerry

That’s me. I saw how they can play and the potential. But they once again came up small when it mattered most. The sky is blue and water is wet.

I just want to see progress which to me is making it to the NFCCG.

Win or lose doesn't matter I would have been satisfied after waiting 25+ years.

I do not believe this team capable of beating 3 to 4 playoff level quarterbacks, defenses and coaching staffs in a row.

So simply put, NO.

53 year fan here.



Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.

Levity aside, while it pains me to say it, I've reached my limit. While I have said all year I had zero expectations, either good or bad, even that has now fallen by the wayside. While I'll still post here, as far as being a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, until they win another SB, or until Jerry Jones is no longer the gm, I am resigning the position.

All my Cowboys clothing, vehicle license plates, yard signs/flags etc. are going in storage. I'll need to get a new cell phone case, some new hoodies and new coffee cups to use.

And before anyone says if I come back to being a fan I'm a "bandwagon" fan, no sir! (Or Ma'am, whichever fits). I have EARNED THE RIGHT to take a hiatus. I've stood by the Can't win the big One days, the 3-13 Landry-type season, the 5-11 Campo-type seasons and the 4-15-Garrett-type seasons.

You want me as a Cowboys fan Jerry?

SELL THE TEAM OR HIRE A GM.

Until then, kiss my grits...
