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

[b0xZZ]

The major change that needs to be made is the one change Jerry or Stephen will never make. It's not in their DNA to be a silent owner, they have to be psuedo "GM's" also so they can say that they know football and they built a winner. It all stems from the feud between Jerry and Jimmy and who was responsible for building that dynasty team. It's as if Jerry has something to prove and the only thing he has proved is that it was Jimmy not him.

The ONLY hope is that the Jones family is run out of town and the team gets sold to an owner(s) who allows it to be run like a real NFL football team.

Yep. Totally agree.

Its to the point where we need BOTH the absolute extreme best uber talent at the HC and QB positions in order to overcome Jerry to ever win anything.

And Im not sure that type of HC or QB even exists.

In this situation in any sport, the GM would have been fired ... except Jerry.

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

Good insight
Jerry is running this team into the ground and doesn't even realize it.
The crazy is , he probably won't be around to see the results of his actions.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling people. If yesterday was the worst day in your life then you are truly blessed!

Get lost.

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 was a spectacular embarrassment. They stiffened up and choked under the pressure. We can't go by the final score. Because the game was already lost by the time they were scoring. So they loosened up. What was the defense doing? They looked like they just awoke from a coma. That team could not have been more ill prepared. Considering who we were playing, have we had a worse playoff loss?

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

He's sober on football knowledge now, and there is no hiding the truth. He has failed with his greatest pride, beyond family.

He better hire Bellichick and hope that he can pull it off for him...or get a real GM. Able to handle all the real heat.

Fans born in the 60/70's don't believe and warn us on this board. Prior to this is the same thing.

Fans born in the 80's have seen greatness and still hope for another shot at it 1 more time.

Fans born in the 90's have the internet to relive the Dallas Cowboys Jimmy Johnson Dynasty. A connection felt because they were born during these years.

Fans born in 2000 and and above have nothing, absolutely nothing other than Youtube. Now the 2/3 of the other fanbase will join the other fans who warned us.

This is the outcome of the 2023 season of the Dallas Cowboys. Franchise is at all-time low.

 

[CCBoy]

Get lost.

That is his view...because you are disappointed what you are doing isn't class. You should have seen us when we got back from Viet Nam and all the NCO Corp wanted to do was go to the bush and kill. Talk about real world nose to noses.

Show a little class when through unwinding...you are NOT right taking your feelings on a fan who is just a fan.

 

[youngjerryjones]

I do think there is a point where the organization loses its mystique and it’s close. Think about it… the Cardinals and Jets have more playoff wins over the past 25 years. The Panthers have twice as many playoff wins as the Cowboys have. Titans have more. Bengals, Vikings, Falcons have more. Dallas in reality is a league bottom feeder. They are a punchline. This is all true despite the spin of the Jones family. I think this loss will be a big problem for the Jerry Jones marketing team.

This is an epic collapse. Something people were wishing for to truly cement Jerry Jones legacy as a terrible owner.

This is a big loss for Jerry, some are overlooking it like it isn't.

This loss made all of the "jokes" and "memes" actually come true.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling people. If yesterday was the worst day in your life then you are truly blessed!

do you love football or not? I love my team and unfortunately this was epic failure.

to be emotionless is your own approach

 

[CCBoy]

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

His tendency to stick with his chosen Head Coach is unconditionally broken and he can't hide his current failures...being CEO doesn't cure his current failure...as a man. Change can really provide hope for top level changes. He just doesn't trust in gambling a sense of control in that focused arena. He has no choice now.

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.

I can 100% relate Bob. My sons are 30, 27, & 25. Only my oldest was alive the last time we won it all, & he has no memory of it at all.

My sons are ashamed to be Cowboys fans.

 

[Diehardblues]

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.

And that disappointing loss to Browns and public fallout and criticism is what drove Meredith to retire early. Next Year Champions became our moniker costing us another solid QB in Morton until we finally got over the hump with Staubach.

 

[IslandCowboy]

It's the same story as last year. Last year was the "biggest embarrassment" and on and on. Until people actually start hitting them where it hurts (financial) then. Othing will change.

 

[CowboyoWales]

Jerry hasn’t been the primary, or even secondary, personnel decision maker for a decade. Will McClay is the GM when it comes to the draft in all but name and Stephen makes the vast majority of the final calls on extensions and FA signings. I don’t love that set up but it’s just wrong to claim things would be substantially different since 2013 if Jerry dropped the GM label.

The best thing he could do would be to give McClay de facto GM authority over all personnel decisions and relegate Stephen to keeping the financial records in line.

But Jerry has Stephen's ear. Jerry pulls the strings, which he presumably wouldn't be able to do with McClay.
But you're all right, this won't improve until we have open accountability, rather than pseudo decision makers running the team with one hand tied behind your back as the decisions are made by an underqualified GM who looks at money/PR and high profile players as much as he does SB's.

You sure about that? How about that loss to Philly with all the Cowboys royalty that was on hand for their celebration? That was a playoff game with Romo wasn't it? Can't remember it exactly.

 

[CowboyinMD]

If Jerrah's going to act on pivoting to a new HC, he needs to do it now while BB and Jim Harbaugh are available. You don't think Philly (Jeffrey Lurie) won't pivot ASAP once the Eagles lose, maybe as early as tonight?

Colin Cowherd actually brought up a great point yesterday. Good GMs and HCs aren't afraid to make the unpopular move for the betterment of their team. Green Bay saying adios to Aaron for Jordan Love, or even knowing when to let Favre go for Aaron Rodgers. SF pivoting from Garappalo to Purdy. Jerry falls in love with his players and pays them all too well.

This is the GM aspect he sucks at. He's got good people (McClay) that can help scout, draft, and sign UFAs to build a good roster, but after that.....

 

[Diehardblues]

Part of the problem is our organization along with much of our fanbase weren’t concerned heading into the playoffs how we had played to finish the season.

The red flags were out there after losses to Buffalo, Miami and gift by Detroit.

The Egirls collapsed down the stretch which basically gifted us the division and 2 Seed. We didn’t earn it by playing our best ball down the stretch.

But yet after locking it up after Wash blowout against another bad team it apparently provided this false hope again. All the while this 9-8 team was playing it’s best ball heading into the playoffs.

And no one seem to be concerned. As a matter of fact there seemed to be more interest or concern about who’d be our next opponent. I wasn’t surprised yesterday except we couldn't even give them a game.

But the script was set. If our offense gets off to slow starts and gets behind , we struggle. Had all year. And if our defense doesn’t get turnovers they struggle. Packers scored TD’s on 7 of their first 8 possessions.

As it played out all season long against playoff caliber teams, we are or were an over rated team. Our record was inflated from easy wins against lesser teams. Similar to Miami. But yet somehow we expected us to suddenly flip a switch in the playoffs.

Our front office , coaching staff, players and many fans all bought into the hype. And it was our undoing against stronger competition all year with lone exception an Egirl team which was reeling.

Our top offense was over rated. Dak was over rated. Our 5th ranked defense was over rated. Micah was over rated. All stats beefed up against poor or reeling teams.

Truly embarrassing to be a cowboys fan. What else is there to say.
