I’m not sure if I am.

we truck walked two teams the Vikings and the colts in a really fun show boaty way.

we looked pathetic against inept teams like the Texans and the packers.

blew leads to the Jaguars and the packers.

lost our quarterback for a few games and the backup managed the team to a sturdy record.

we get our hall of fame tackle back just in time for us to lose our starting corners.

we have two electric players on offense but at times our offense can’t just kill the clock.

we’ve known our first round opponent for weeks now and could barely care about these regular season games because of it.

12-5 tho whoda thunkit
Been a roller coaster of inconsistentcy....

It’s been a fun season because the Cowboys have been a lot better than everyone thought they would be. However, it’s starting to look like previous seasons with the team flaming out in December. The first half of the season looks promising then the wheels start coming off the second half of the season. They always peek early then begin to fade.

It becomes more enjoyable when you level set your expectations. Once I realized we’re likely not going to win big with the Jones running the show it’s been more fun.

Enjoying the wins. Watching the young players develop. Watching the media make fools of themselves ranting about the Cowboys.

I am actually enjoying the heck out of this season as long as I don’t focus too much on Philly.
The Cowboys had lots of questions. I loved the winning streak with Rush at QB. I loved the winning streaks and watching Dak get the offense going. I loved the total demolition of the Vikings. I hate losing games, so I’m not always happy, but my team is 10-4, already in the playoffs, and has time to fix some problems, get some players healthy and new receivers up to speed.

I don’t think I’ll be happy on Christmas Eve, but the Cowboys just made the playoffs two years in a row for the first time in a while.

Some thing about this franchise robs us of joy. For example Detroit and Jacksonville probably are elated right now
And they are, also seattle and nyg's.
Those teams that rose up and over achieved have been the most interesting thing of this season.
Other wise the whole season has been a flat not exciting season, and at times quite boring!

I say that as a nfl fan, not just cowboys. I always follow and root for some other teams, but this season has just been too weird.
It seems like there are not any dominate teams, just some fairly good teams, and the rest are avg .

Maybe playoffs will be better.

The media and nfl like to hype teams and players, but it gets old after awhile.

I just wanted cowboys to make playoffs and they did, so that is good for me.
Been rooting for giants to make playoffs too, and it looks like they will.
was rooting for seattle, and they may still do it, but have a tougher road.

Yea. I didn’t expect them to win this many games this year so they’ve already exceeded my expectations lol.

Who knows, maybe they’ll get a little lucky and hot in the playoffs.

This season is a miracle after Dak went down. The problem is that most fans dont understand what they are seeing and think the Cowboys are better than they are. Or they dont pay attention to all the injuries mounting and get false a sense of the team.

Nope. I gave McCarthy a chance in 2021, I didn't blame him for 2020 due to the injuries and the circumstances. But the way that SF playoff game went showed me that he doesn't have it and this team doesn't have it. Yes, they are not the same from the Garrett Era, which is an improvement I guess. But they are still not good enough to do anything in the playoffs. And so far, that has not changed this season...they still have the same weaknesses and now a QB who turns the ball over more.

That's why losing the SF game felt like a funeral, it hurt more than any of Garrett's playoff losses because it proved that there is no one saving this thing.

See there is a PERFECT example of a poster not understanding what he is seeing and blaming a coach for that inability. The Niners game should have taught you 2 things.

1. The niners are a hell of a team
2. The niners are better then we are

In Rush's "wins" the team had 10 sacks in the 4 games average 2.4 a game.

In Dak's "losses" the team had 3 sacks in the 2 games, 1.5 a game.

I sense a trend here. Sure Dak could have played better, but Rush had the benefit of a better defense. Not to mention Rush's 4 wins came against the Commanders, Giants and the Rams. Dak can't beat but weak teams? What do you call the Giants, Rams and Commanders, currently cumulatively 19-30-2. Yes, he beat the Bengals, but they were 0-2 at the time Dallas played them, and Dallas' defense held Burrow to 199 yards passing, the Bengals ran for only 89 yards. 6 of Dallas' 20 pts came from 2 Maher fgs, both 50 yards or more. Burrow didn't have but 1 td pass and that with 3:45 left in the game, and Dallas with a 20-10 lead.

Yes, Dak hasn't played well, but to think just putting in Rush instead of Dak will result in a string of wins against the Eagles, Titans and Commanders, the last 2 of which are consecutive road games, is wishful thinking at best.

Have to face it, with Lewis, Brown, Steele, and possibly LVE, out the rest of the year, this team has too many exploitable weaknesses to win more than maybe one playoff game. Replacing Dak is a band-aid approach, it doesn't address the real issue, which isn't going away anytime soon.

And no need to name that person, we all (at least any real Cowboys fan) know who he is...
