A Trainwreck Might Be Our Only Hope

[Cowfan75]

No, I'm not one to hope for a tank out of the gate. I lose sleep over tough losses, cried at a certain age after Emmitt fumbled on the way to the endzone against the Oilers way back when, am constantly worried we won't win another Super Bowl before I die, and I just signed up for an expensive streaming service just so I could watch my team after cutting cable last year.

So no, losing doesn't feel good. Knowing the season is over after week one is not fun. But a true fate awaits us...it gets worse. And it won't get better until 2025 at the earliest, and even then it will have to be by accident, because Daddy isn't doing anything he doesn't have to, and the Son is even worse. The only thing that will spur changes for the better, imo, is a season so bad that fans show up in paper bags. And I mean an epic failure, not some middling season where Rush pulls out one win and gets Jerry puffing out his chest. We have to lose, and lose hard. Even then it might not matter with Honest Offer Stevie waiting in the wings, but the one thing Jerry doesn't want to play with is perception. Now it took three years of despair for him to try something new with Parcells, so we need to do worse than middle-of-the-pack. Much, much worse. And that hurts to say, but it's the only way we aren't in this same position in 2023...and 24.

Rocky will have me wasted by noon.

It’s time for a reckoning sir. The Jones’ will never fix this and they’ll likely own the Cowboys until the day they close the doors for good.

Dak will be back in 4 weeks to save the season and get us to 8-9

They realized they screwed up the offensive line, so that'll get fixed. And if we continue to struggling at stopping the run, the defensive line will get fixed also. But we still need to find that second cornerback to play alongside of Diggs.

So we don't need a train wreck to occur, because a train wreck has already happened. This off-season was a train wreck.

Don't forget gloating, cowards, told you so, and some of the other catchphrases

You're probably right. Besides, anyone who puts a paper bag on their head at a game will probably be beaten and removed by security before they get on TV.

I am hoping when Gallup gets back, and Washington, the offense will be a little better. I think the OL will get better as they play together more.

I do agree that this team could use another draft where they pick in the top 10 or 5. But they will win jusst enough games to be picking somewhere between 12-18 again.

Our only hope is Charlotte Jones.

The seasons not over just yet. The team got punched in the mouth, let's see if they punch back.

How will it get fixed? Through the draft? Then how do we fix the rest of the team since Jerry feels no urgency to spend a dime in FA? Something drastic must occur for Daddy & Son to utilize FA. The offseason was not a trainwreck to Jerry. It's not a trainwreck until the perception takes a hit, until we are no longer competitive enough for the average fan to tune in. Even then it might not be enough. If a trainwreck won't do it, then we need a Titanic event.

By the title I thought it meant a train carrying Prescott and the entire Jones family and any illegitimate offspring of theirs.....

Our only hope is that fans stop showing up for games. As long as everyone keeps packing the stadium and the money keeps flowing into Jerry’s pockets nothing is going to change. Jerry needed to win when he first bought the team. He may want to win but he doesn’t need to win now. He has his stadium and fans keep filling it.

They got punched in the mouth in January and then again in September!? lol A complete embarrassment under a national audience both times. Waiting for a punch back seems like a stretch. Like Jerry, I guess we got to hope for a miracle. See if David shows up with his sling shot?

It's gonna get worse before it gets better, I am sad to say...

A 26 year train wreck hasn't changed a thing.

That's the Jerry way! You expect nothing less from the clowns who run this team. It is very sad!
