Anyone else having trouble finding any enthusiasm about the Cowboys right now? After the Packer collapse, confirmed lamb duck coach status and lack of meaningful FA activity there’s not cause for hope, much less optimism. The window is shut with CD and Micah due big extensions. The front office isn’t going to mortgage the future to build around its stars. Meanwhile the Commanders might be formidable pretty soon and the Giants probably tic up as well.
I don’t believe Dak is good enough to win with in the playoffs at his price tag given the organization’s philosophy. A full rebuild or retool would be more interesting. If Dak gets extended at 55 million+ it just extends the purgatory.
Even the draft, which I always look forward to, is just kinda meh. So many holes on this roster and let’s face it McClay and the boys whiffed big last April.
so ?!
and NO..
You realize the last three offseason most of the same people have said the same things about the offseason about they don't spend enough money in free agency, how the rest of the division is catching up and then we're going to be left in last place... historically bad off season they said, and somehow the last three years we've been top six in the league, we've won 36 games two division titles by the way I've been to the playoffs three straight years actually been to the playoffs 5 out of the eight years that Prescott's been healthy and standing..
So, if you're not excited I frankly don't care matter of fact 75% of the posts are all apathetic ,everybody's negative, nobody has anything good to say, everybody thinks that offseason it's over and that our rosters set and it's all doomed!!
yet we haven't even got to the draft yet, that's the only thing different about this year than any other year is literally the angry negative doom and gloomers, Debbie Downers, apathetic fans like you have come out earlier and earlier... you're dooming the season when there's lots of free agents to be picked up after the draft and some trades, FYI they made good enough trades the last few seasons to get us to what I already described above and we may not be slotted to have the best success and win a Super Bowl this year but to act like it's all over before it starts when the games are the only way to prove how the offseason went..
Let me give you a big tip here literally nobody wins when there aren't any games played paper champions are only that lots of teams who win the offseason like by the way go back and look at the last three years in this division the spending on free agents and how the divisions have weight or completely upside down literally the giants in Washington have spent more money than the Eagles and the Cowboys and yet somehow the Cowboys are in last place and big names brought in and yet we won the division twice in the last three years...
Getting the big name free agents in the first few weeks of the season that starts technically March 14 so we're one month into this process with five months left to go and already everybody's off the bandwagon predicting terrible things that happen just because you didn't get your way with your list of free agents and you don't think they have some plan...
They in fact do have a plan I'm sure and no they're not one of the most aggressive teams in the league and neither is Kansas City and neither was New England and I'm not trying to compare them I'm just saying there are a lot of teams out there that spend a lot of money and get some of the biggest names and they do not end up with the trophy..
I get it it looks like they're not going to do anything but with five months left before game one and lots of options for them to go and build this roster up... I have not made-up my mind I'm what they call a person who likes to see results so we need to see the games but at least we need to see the final roster before we make all these bold claims and it's just all over before it starts....
I will judge this year like any other year I take it one game at a time every year is a one off it's a week to week league and have an expectations are the biggest problem fans have.. We have no control sitting behind our desk or wherever you're sitting while you're writing all this nonsense it's a sports team that we are passionate about our team but to call it a disappointing season before it even starts is the most ridiculous thing I ever saw this is a weird league...
All the predictions and the rankings and the ratings and all that nonsense that happens along sports it's ridiculous you just gotta play each week the teams in front of you and lots of things can change with injuries the expectations for the other teams players that they picked up they didn't fit in right they don't actually produce... There are a lot of factors that go into winning in football and that's why it's week to week and there's just no way to look at a schedule and look at a roster 5 months before game on and say it's all over..
And why does a lame duck coach any different than a player who's in a contract here you know that term contract year where players usually have one of their better years because they trying to get paid well don't you think coaches are trying to keep their job they're gonna coach just as hard I mean the last time we had that with Garrett they went to the playoffs they had a winning record..
