CFZ Biggest embarrassment in Cowboys history- and it won't matter enough to Jerry

[Bobhaze]

I’m old enough to have watched all 67 Cowboys playoff games. All 36 wins and all 31 losses. That was the most embarrassing loss in Cowboys history. To be trucked at home by a 9-8 #7 seed is beyond inexcusable. It’s actually what this organization has become: A lazy embarrassment when it matters most.

As I watched that colossal failure tonight unfold into a 27-0 deficit with 2:00 left in the first half, I could not help but think that there is no other team in the entire playoffs who would have stunk it up that bad at home with everything in front of them. To lay an egg of that proportion in front of millions is not only disgusting, it is gutless.

But my fellow Cowboys fans, I can guarantee you one thing: It won’t change things much at the Star. Nope. If you think Jerry Jones is as mad as we fans are or is angry enough to make major changes throughout this organization, don't get your hopes up. I will predict it right now- there will be no Bill Belechick or Jim Harbaugh “to the rescue”. Because this ship sinks every year regardless of the HC.

Since our last SB, we’ve had 6 different HCs, and 8 different OCs and DCs. And one GM who won’t change. Promise you. He will be smiling this July at his putrid “State of the Cowboys” presser in “Ox-nerd” selling sand to all us fans in this 28 year desert. And most Cowboys fans will buy it again. Oh and expect Mike McCarthy to be seated with JJ and “Giggles” next July. Because JJ likes being comfortable more than he likes to be hungry.

This is the only organization in the NFL that would still keep its GM after this colossal collapse. Name one team in the league that would keep the same 81 year old GM with a 4-10 play-off record since 2000.

Bob there is a point where kids wont want to be Cowboys fans. I am 30, i have witnessed zero winning. My nephew who is 7 only knows the cowboys to be epic losers - any kid that age who is a fan get’s the works.

In 10 years, kids will look at the cowboys like the browns and the old fans will be dead. This is a crucial point for the franchise

The last time the Cowboys faced a home deficit as big as today in the playoffs the game was in the Cotton Bowl.

Cleveland won that game, then lost to the Vikings, who then lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs.

Agree! My first thoughts after it unfolded besides my horrible thoughts of a comeback were “we are going to change things” but as the evening goes on I realize Jerry isn’t wildcatters Jerry anymore. He’s content to be close and will stay his course of safety

Biggest embarrassment in Cowboy's history, and it won't matter enough to fans who will still spend hundreds, and even thousands of dollars on game tickets, airline tickets, jerseys, parking, food, etc. The same ones will be there in the preseason, regular season, and playoffs. The same ones will still be spending hundreds of dollars on some package to watch on tv.

Biggest embarrassment in Cowboy's history, and it won't matter enough to Dak especially, and all the other players. Win or lose embarrassingly, get paid.

Biggest embarrassment in Cowboy's history, and it won't matter enough to many fans as they will worship the ground these players walk on and seek their autographs.

Boy do I know. I have three sons who are all in their mid to late 30s. They watched all those 90s teams with me. Now they see the Cowboys as a joke.

And Jerry knows it as he has publicly admitted he sucks as a GM.

All I keep hearing everywhere now is...WE HAD A BAD DAY!

Do ya think so?

Everybody came in and said..."WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD DAY!" and then we saying now "WE HAD A BAD DAY!". Okay, cya.

My son is in high school now (yes the one on my avatar) and he tells me all the time how most of the kids hate the Cowboys. We live in DFW.

 

[ShiningStar]

You guys allowed it.

Only ones to blame.

 

[Bobhaze]

And Jerry knows it as he has publicly admitted he sucks as a GM.

Imagine having an owner of a supposedly serious sports team willing to keep an 81 year old GM who had a 4-10 playoff record in the last 24 seasons. Name any other owner who would keep that GM?

Seriously? Super bowl contenders don't have "BAD DAYS" against 9-8 teams at home in the playoffs. If that's the way the players feel, then it's time to make some changes.

 

[Asklesko]

As long as Jerry Jones is in charge, you know what you're gonna get

How about this: The packers have won more playoff games at AT&T than the Cowboys have! 3. (Edit: the Cowboys have won the same amount as the pack) 3. Still embarrassing.

The 1998 loss to the Cardinals was basically the same thing, getting blown out at home by a fringe playoff team.

And I think you’re crazy if you believe this loss hurts you or me as much as Jerry Jones. We all get to go back to our jobs, families and other hobbies after this. The Cowboys are his job, his hobby and the thing his entire family is centered around. Hes in the last decade or so of his life and the ONLY thing he cares about anymore is one more ring before he dies.

We may not agree with decisions he makes but you’re kidding yourself if you believe you will lose more sleep than Jerry over this. I certainly won’t I know that.

In ten years Jerry might also be dead and not see how he destroyed this once-proud fanbase.

But will it result in the kind of changes we all know are needed? No. He’s not bothered enough to do that.

It's garbage. If that doesn't register with Jerry, NOTHING will. If he hires a re-tread, we'll know he doesn't care IMO
