People need to realize this game is largely meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

If we beat the Rams but then lose in Philly, we likely can't make the playoffs unless Philly spits the bit against the Skins or Giants, which they likely won't.

People also need to realize that getting trounced again just reinforced that this team is done for regardless of how awful the NFC East is.

That week 16 game against Philadelphia is also meaningless because neither of these sorry teams deserve to be in the playoffs.

Won't matter much either way, your credibility is already zero.

Not with anybody with a clue. If it’s the likes of @stasheroo and @visionary and @Hennessy_King who want to take issue....I think I’ll be able to safely ignore it for the background noise that it is. I’ve had good farts that make more sense than you guys can manage at your best.

Your act is one of delusion at its finest. And it's finished, like your hero.

I definitely agree with the sentiment about people losing jobs and being displaced.

I will say that I won’t be losing sleep for JG. He could never work again for the rest of his life and have no issues for how much he has earned over the last 10 years as HQ and the few as the OC.

JG is far from broke even if he doesn’t find another job but he more than likely will get hired somewhere despite how much he may or may not suck, depending on who you ask.

Yeah, it's a weird dynamic with me. I very much know that this failed era needs to end and part of me likes watching the guy stand on the sidelines for three hours with no answers. After all, he's collected about $50 million in salary and wasted plenty of careers "in the process".

But I also feel for the human being twisting in the wind, knowing the ax will soon fall. I'm happy that they will move one, but it's never a glorious day when someone gets fired and families are affected. Garrett might not have kids, but I'm sure those on his staff soon to be out of work do. And it's never great when those families are displaced and have to look for work elsewhere.

It's a conflicting series of emotions for me.

I can see the original post's being a valid view.

It's the short view vs. the long view, basically. The long view is that Garrett, Marinelli and the special teams coach need to go to move this team back to contender status, and more losses will add fuel to their funeral pyre, so painful as it might be, more losses add to the cause.

The short view is that the season's not actually over until the last loss, whether that be the last regular season game or the Super Bowl. Until then you root for the Cowboys, just because the fat lady hasn't sung.

Who's then the "real" fan? There's not a textbook definition, I can understand and respect either view.

Myself? I just watch the games, I have no expectation either winning or losing. I think they will lose, but that won't keep me from watching...

Oh gee. Here comes the glee club to tell people who real fans are.

:rolleyes:

And I love the false accusation that I am saying I’m rooting against them. I simply said I can’t root for them. Big difference mental midgets.

You started this thread to get a reaction and then get mad when people react to it.

Rooting for the Cowboys to beat the Rams is not a difficult thing to do. Believing it will happen is where the difficulty lies. The Cowboys aren't playing good football these days. I will root for them on Sunday. I still don't think they will win.

Garrett personally after all of this is over? No. He owes me 10 years!

But, given how the team has moved on and is contacting replacements, they should at least have the decency to fire him first. They can say whatever they want, but they're publicly emasculating and humiliating the guy. Does he deserve to be fired? Absolutely, years ago in fact. But I'm not sure about this public humiliation. Even a well known anti-Garrett like me thinks that's a bit classless.

Rest assured, they are. Not openly or honestly mind you, but they are.

Garrett is getting the Dave Campo treatment and worse than what Ron Rivera got. Rivera actually got his walking papers before the Panthers started their search. Garrett gets to squirm, staring the inevitable in the face. I actually feel bad for him in that sense.

Naw- unless his Ole Lady's a money-shredder JG's got enough bucks in the bank for you, me and him to retire and never hit another lick at a snake ...

This is perfectly said. A perfect middle ground.

Yeah, no doubt he's gotten rich during his time here. Totally undeserved.

None of us “want” them to lose. I’ve just lost faith they can beat the top tier teams.

I hope for a miracle but know that’s a long shot.

I'll be the first to admit we're looking at a team that is down and out of their element these days! Being a diehard fan, I'm still hooked on this team and will be 'til the day I die. I can't help myself but to watch them anytime they play. That won't change this week, nor any week to come! ;)
