It does. But why??

To me, it seems more depressing because Jerry will NEVER fire Garrett so the ineptitude will continue, Zeke has crap judgement and WILL do something club-relatedly stupid in the near future, and the officiating has been very obviously biased against Dallas.

Hard to be upbeat when you know the future is going to suck and you have to fight the other team AND the refs every game.

Because of the way that they lost these last 3 and the ridiculous poor performance of these coaches. It looks like a high school team playing against a pro team. There is seemingly no hope for the future until they bring in a new staff. Couple that with a chief rival having the leagues best record and yeah, sorry times right now.
yea I think the collapse is the surprise.
there's several problems depth number 1

That is probably because even the moderation can't reconcile what is happening.

They are in a state of shock just like the team is.

Usually board moderation can steer discussion. And they will in times of distress.

Thankfully, there seems to be a laissez faire approach so far.

And that is pretty cool.
Just to add to this ..

Despite what everyone thinks, the staff is not all pro-everything Cowboys. Some of the staff like certain players and coaches that other staff members don't care for. We have never been against complaints about the team including the players, the coaches and the owner.

Where we step in and clamp down on things is when the negativity gets out of hand, especially when it's an over-reaction to a single event. In this case, it's not a single even though, and the negativity is warranted if for no other reason than the results of the last three games played.

It's not that the staff is in shock or does not care. Instead, we all understand that things are bad right now and the widespread negativity is justified and expected. When you combine that with the fact that the staff are all fans as well, none of us are happy with the team right now either.

I will be posting my thoughts on the team soon, but it will just be yet-another-fan posting as it will carry no more or less weight than anyone else's. I just wanted to let everyone know that this is not a positive only site. It never has been despite the claims. We just don't want it to be a completely negative site either which is why at various times in the past we had to clamp down on things.

That said, there is still a need for the Drama Zone for some discussions :D

It is because we went 13-3 last year and had young upside with visions of Super Bowls dancing in our heads...

Super Bowls? I had us going 9-7. We lost several veterans from last season who were better than some wanted to believe, but I still thought we might make the playoffs.

For me this season became depressing when the BS Zeke suspension was announced. Even as he got stays in court it was always hanging over our heads. Once he ran out of options it has come crashing down, big time. :(

I agree, don’t want to turn this into a Romo vs Dak thing, but I honestly believe that although Tony messed up at times we all knew we always had a chance with him under center. That is not the case right now,
We stink right now and the thing is, we are stinking with our QB 1 at the helm and that’s much more depressing. JMHO

To me, it feels different because the NFL is going down the toilet as a whole, not just the Cowboys. The NFL is no longer entertainment. It's a political protest platform and people are sick of it. I know I am. I have NEVER watched so little football in my life.....

THIS x 1,000. Anyone who believes this feels different because of anything Cowboys specific is delusional. The combination of an awful season as well as the mess goodell has created is why it feels different now.

3 losses by 20 points or more

A clear picture that our coaching staff is over matched

And an owner who thinks every thing is hunky dorey

Yep a good receipt for cowboys blues

Actually 4 losses of 20 or more. ;)

Until the staff changes I don't know what we have to look forward to. I mean it's a blast watching Zeke play, and when Dak is trucking along that's fun too. But outside of that until Jerry changes, we won't feel any different.

I just can't trust the current FO and Staff anymore.
