So your drinking Jerry's koolaid also huh? It's a free country, but it's obvious you're both wrong. They've ignored both the lines for years. 2 first round picks on the offensive line helps but they need so much more there. They have no depth. Defensive line with Ware is a joke. Naw, no ones unraveling my criticism in the least.

I don't buy your definition of drinking kool aid. But it doesn't matter. Any definition you want to use doesn't get you around the fact that we've been spending significant resources on trench players. It's not really a matter of opinion. It's a demonstrable fact.

The argument you really want to be making is that, despite investing in the trenches, we're not good enough there. Especially on defense. We've long ago stopped having to deal with the silly criticism of this team's OG play.

Just because you say we've addressed the lines doesn't make it so. Jerry's addressed the oline just as an afterthought and after it became painfully obvious that help was needed there. Wow, 2 players in 3 years . It would be a good start, but he stopped there and because of that we're a .500 team with the strength of our skill players on offense. Where's the help on the d line? Where's the depth on both sides? We have none and if you can't see that you need to put Jerry's drink down and sell that swamp land he sold you.

It's not so because I say it. It's true because we addressed it. It's a fact, not a matter of opinion.

And...enjoy the win. I'm not going to play duck-season-wabbit-season with you on this topic again. It's not a subjective question.

1. I can't put posters on ignore, but I wish I could, because I really miss that luxury. 2. Sure. It's not a question of their rights, if that's what you're asking. The idea behind self-censorship would be them choosing not to post if there was a chance it could benefit Jerry Jones. 3. It was just a little joke.

Ok. Gotcha.

Exactly, the facts prove me out.

There's been a lot of discussion here and elsewhere lately on the reasons for the demise of the Cowboys being a successful football team. On the field, the team can do no better than mediocrity. The owner continues to believe he's a football genius and fills the team with a few high priced skill players while continuing to ignore what it takes to consistently win football games, i.e. build from the trenches out.

All the while this embarrassment of a team that gut punches it's fans week after week continues to see those same fans buy tickets for the games, buy jerseys and other merchandise that line the pockets of the Jones family. Those same fans bash the starting QB too ignorant to realize it's not a players fault for this sad excuse for a teams performance but it's the Jones for how they run the team.

No matter what happens today, the stadium will again be full next week for the final. The fans will be putting blame on the Jones, Romo, etc. yet are too stupid to realize that they are ultimately responsible for continuing to support this farce of an organization. They'll leave with arms laden with over priced merchandise muttering how Some player has let the team down.

We've met the enemy,,,,,,and it is us.

Wut?

Oh I get it. Even though we won today, we should boycott next week's game to show Jerry we don't want to get to the playoffs. MMMkay.

I'm guilty and will continue to be.

I'm openly a Cowboys fan, and proud of it, regardless of what is going on. My being a fan doesn't change because the team isn't winning enough like I'd love to see them doing. I've seen this team be the worst in the league, the best in the leage, and now the middle of the road and I'm still as proud to be a Cowboys fan today as I was in 1987-88 and beyond. That's never going to change no matter how much Jerry is an idiot.

That would be the definition of insanity.

I am guilty as well. My brother and I have been flying from Denver once a year to see a game. We usually sit in club seats, we've done the stadium tour and bought jerseys at the stadium. This year is going to be the last one for a while. Im sure Jerry wont miss our money but Im hoping others do the same. We figured we go see some games (non Dallas) at some other stadiums for a while. I love the Cowboys but the way they are managed turns my gut inside out.

There should be empty seats available for you in washington next year

Until we can say, for sure, it's probably best if all you guys who are so unhappy just go into lurker mode for a while. I'll post a thread in the Fan Zone when I can verify 100% for sure, ok? If you don't hear from me, just assume I'm still working on getting the information for you.
:D

I'm fine with that. I don't front run or threaten to quit being a fan or give up just because the Cowboys aren't champions. They've been my favorite team since I was a young and they will until I die. I can't help it if others waiver on that.

Tons I don't like about this team right now and I'd love to see changed, starting at the top with the Owner/GM, but I'm a fan regardless of rather the things I want to see changed are changed.

They're still my favorite team as well. That's why the Jones upset me so much. They've ruined the team and have made them a laughing stock. So I'll do what very little I can to change that. I think that's what a real fan would do.

Do what you got to my man. I'm not here to tell you what to do or how to do it or rather it makes you a real fan or not. I couldn't care less to be quite honest. :)
