Anybody remember the fan base and franchise being at this nadir?

[big dog cowboy]

Can’t think of worse time. Even the campo years the guys played with heart. This team has overhyped talent, mental midget players, terrible coaching and F/O, injuries to boot, and does nothing well. Very boring team and I wouldn’t even feel confident saying we beat the Jets.

Hard to believe it was just a few months ago some were picking this team to represent the NFC in the super bowl.

Injuries and no offseason just killed this team. They will be back.

 

[CWR]

Take your time. Look up the word nadir.

Ahem. Some of us want us to tank, mates.
The others have delusions of playoffs and ... yes, the Super Bowl.
Still, others, want us to win with this collection of scrubs, underperforming "stars" and has-beens. Win for the sake of winning. But win what? A win for Jerry's ego? Merchandising? For your $5 bet with that annoying neighbor with a Norm Hitzges brogue? (Yes, he is not fond of me Leeds patois.)

Low Point in Cowboys' history. The franchise is weak and indecisive, coddles players and perpetually gits No. 15 and trades down if Jerry is feeling like "a football guy."

On the fracture inglamorious sector the belief has been an 7-9 or better record will get us, kind chaps, into the playoffs. It could happen. Frightening.
Do you look forward for quick gain? Do you care about draft number?

Hollah.

Aren't you the same guy who said football season would be canceled all together? If I didn't know any better I'd say you're a tad pessimistic. We aren't going to make the playoffs, we will net a nice draft choice, and it won't take 5 years to rebuild. I know that's a sturdy number but its complete and utter bs. The NFL is fluid and a team with a franchise qb and actual talent on at least one side of the ball can get right quickly.

What anyone here wants means jack bleepin' bleep. The Dallas Cowboys have major obstacles between them and championships, and here they are:

I didn't even read the OP, but I still have questions

I'll save people some time...

na·dir

1. the lowest point in the fortunes of a person or organization.
   "they had reached the nadir of their sufferings"

I need to know something - what's wrong with using normal words? It reminds me of a supervisor who sent me to get fitted for a uniform but used the word 'fitment' rather than telling me to go get fitted for some new threads. He only did stuff like that because he thought he was smarter than everyone else.

No one talks like this.

Gimme is an acquired taste, unusual fellow, but is a good guy.

At the very least, not the same regurgitation of nonsense that has been discussed 400 times. He brings a little animation and color to the forum. I appreciate his posts.

 

[Rockport]

Hate losing but I believe the best thing would be if they lose the rest of their games and get the best draft pick possible. At the same time we can only hope that some type of realization dawns on our egotistical owner and he finally hires a real football GM. Yeah I know that's a pipe dream but it's my dream all the same

He’s only the GM in title. He doesn’t go out and find talent. That’s Will McClays job. Jerry just tells all the players how great they are and lavishes them with a country club facilities and atmosphere. That therein is the problem.

 

[Ranching]

It's funnier when you have the audio to go with it.......

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh"!

That sounds nasty....

 

[Corso]

How clíché, "Saved by the Bell."
And I'll wait for some TV zombie to correct the title. Wait for it ...

I thought it was Jersey Shore this whole time!

I don't think anyone should ever apologize for being polysyballic.

Dennis Miller is an idiot. I can't stand the cretin.

YES, THE NFL'S love of money triumphed all. But many college games and pro games have been cancelled. But I underestimated the steamroller the NFL is.
Yes, riser bloke, I can be pessimistic after a quarter century, yes?
Answer! Hollah

ohhhh, I just hate it when he alludes to vatican 1300s rituals in making a joke.

I had a slight infatuation with the chubby short girl in JS. I blame the malt liquor.

Yes ... go on ...

 

[Vanilla2]

I think this fan base has been at this point for quite some time now. The delusion of Garrett’s departure being the fix has worn off some and I think reality has set in and the picture ain’t pretty, but hey we can still win the division and that’s a shirt and hat I’ll buy.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Uh, yes.

Things have been worse. Lived through them.

This isn't as bad as the mid-late 80's.

Also not as bad as the Campo years.

Nadir? Hardly. Maybe just how some of the modern fans see it but there were 100% deeper lows.

Fortunately, we aren’t winning the division. The beat down coming Tuesday night will officially put those inane thoughts to bed. Time to tank for the good of the team.

 

[Hadenough]

Losing like this will do absolutely nothing if they don't plan on drafting a QB. What I do fear is the lowly Commanders with a fierce defensive line could be in the QB sweepstakes.

Yeah dude I hear ya. Unfortunately seems like every year we’ve been saying how good this team is and results never actually changed
