Will Cowboys fans care next year

glimmerman · Feb 16, 2022

I am A Cowboys fan. I will always root for my team to win. I care, just expect less next year. It’s funny, after the first 7 games there are posts of… this team feels different. Feels different this season. And then the bottom drops out like it always does.. They will have to be playing much more consistent before I start to believe again..

They will care, just a little less about the regular season

This is what it has come to, we are unable to enjoy the regular season success bc we all know that it matters zero until this team learns how to win in the playoffs.

This is the curse of being competitive each yeah...if we were like a Jacksonville or Detroit that suck nearly every year, getting to 11 or 12 wins would be amazing, but as the cowboys who make it to .500 nearly every year and get in the playoffs every 2 to 3 years, the regular season is just losing meaning.

that may be true if not for the fact Cowboys have not had back to back trips to post season in a while. I still get excited about winning even in regular season because the only way you even get a chance to compete for a title is by making the post season.
Before this past season last playoff appearance was 2018.

care next year? lmao, try 15 plus years ago. it's fun to watch now and laugh at the losers crying over losses and their QB.

Everyone of your posts has a QB reference. Along with Pappydog in the shadows giving each of your QB infused posts a like. You seem to be obsessed with Rayne Dakota Prescott.

I wonder how strong the apathy among Cowboys fans will be present next season.
There just seems to be a malaise among Cowboys fans after another failed season.
I think being burned year after year, for 26 years, by this team of teasing fans and flaming out when it counts the most is at it's peak.
The team could start 10-0 and I think fans will be like, meh, we've seen this movie before. Only until they make it past the Wild Card or win a Divisional Playoff game will fans start to believe in this team.

Unfortunately I will be watching next year, how can I not? I've been with this team since their inception, why quit now just because the players do.

...I for sure, lost much faith in this team and Org. I wont even get excited for pre-season, just wait until Sept.

I'll chime in here once in while.

I never stopped caring. I stopped expecting...

If you had a bfrain, youd know Jerry doesnt need to do ANYTHING to sell tickets. Jerry could go silent for the next 24 months and the Cowboys would still have the highest rated games on tv, would still be talked about on all the sports shows far more than any other team, and they would lead the league in attendance... AGAIN.

Mind your own business? lol... again, if you had a brain youd know that every post on these boards is everyone's business.

Jerry and silent should never be used in the same sentence, lol.

Depends on what fans you are talking about.

The casual fans only care when things are going great.

The optimist fans think we've got a real shot every year.

The pessimist fans think we will never compete for a title as long as [insert reason].

The realistic fans understand that it's hard to win a Super Bowl and regular-season success for this team doesn't even mean we're going to win a Super Bowl. That doesn't mean we don't hope for it, but we also don't expect it. There's no reason to believe what we haven't seen for a long time, but without any hope, it isn't any fun being a fan. So we hope that Dallas can somehow overcome the obstacles that we see, but again, we're not anticipating that happening.

I think only the pessimistic fans and the casual fans feel apathy toward the team because one just jumps on the bandwagon and the other can only see the negatives. Both the optimistic and realistic fans root them on no matter what. There's just a difference in their expectations. (Note: You can be realistically negative about some aspects of the team without being a pessimist fan. Being realistic doesn't equate to being rah-rah. That's the optimist fan.)

They've been Jerry's zombie mob for over 25 years. Why would next year be any different?

They will chant his name in camp next year. Like they always do.

I think there are a lot of fans of the team who don't care to chant Jerry's name.

Being a fan of the Cowboys doesn't mean being a fan of Jerry.

For me I don't have a personal problem with Jerry. I just have a problem with his behaviour in and around the team.

Also not a big fan of his behaviour around women in respect to his wife of 57 years. Some **** is just stupid. His pics with the girl in the bathroom was just stupid.

My stance with Jerry is that it doesn't matter what I do, it doesn't change the fact that he owns the team and can do whatever he wants. The one thing I have the power to do is choose to either follow the team or not. I've never let a player, coach or owner affect my loyalty to the team and I'm not about to start now. Doesn't mean I have to like everything, but this is my team through thick and thin ... or thin and thin, as the case may be.

If you're reading or posting in here you care. What normal person comes in a Cowboys forum in the offseason when nothing's going on? We're all zombies.

You get use to it.......like Andy Griffith reruns.......you still watch it.

Yes because we are gluttons for punishment.

Care "next" year? I don't care now. Nothing worse than a lame duck wasted season....with the exception of when the HC actually slips the noose....like The Clapping Carrot did the last 5 to 6 years. Wake me up when Booger and Chuckles decide to put on black NIKE's and go all Marshall Applewhite on us.....that will be the first day that we are finally clear of this catastrophic S storm.

CouchCoach · Feb 17, 2022

Every season is a reset. Takes a little time for the disappointment of the present season to fade but it will and be replaced by new hope.

There is nothing wrong with that. Because you can get excited and hopeful for a new season doesn’t make you gullible or a sucker, you are a fan and that is not based on logic.

I always care, and always hope for the best, but if Jerry has taught me one thing its not to expect anything more than repeat failure.
Jerry has his 3 rings, but those rings were never from his brilliance.
The brightest move Jerry ever made was hiring Jimmy, and I applaud Jery for his one solid move ever.
That one move put 3 Lombardis in Jerrys pocket, and has been enough to keep his "business model" a money maker, and thats enough for Jerry.
