This is rich coming from a Joe that can't stand my comment that there were other issues on the roster other than a few injuries that led to 4-12. You've done nothing but whine since I said it. Let me say it again. The Cowboys aren't and weren't a very good team as evidenced by the fact that they turned into one of the worst teams in football after losing their QB, lead WR and a slot CB who doesn't matter to anyone with a clue. Never in the history of the league has a Super Bowl contender turned into a top pick of the draft contender in a similar scenario. It's never happened.

This is, like, common sense type stuff outside of this fan safe space. Everyone knows it. The roster has holes.

Scandrick wasn't our "slot corner". He was starting on the outside. Pay attention. The coaches may have "had a clue" and missed Scandrick. I'd imagine some players too. You're really reaching as others have said.

The 2015 Cowboys were viewed, by many, as a Super Bowl contender and the Colts were too. This is a fact that's non debatable. Oh, I know those people weren't super smart people like you. They were Just people who get paid to share their opinion. As opposed to a contender to be paid for not sharing
their opinion.

You faced one thing and I applaud you. We both agree you are a bit of a crybaby whiner.

Now put your delicate emotions aside and face the fact we are a very good team.

This is, like, common sense type stuff outside of this fan safe space. Everyone knows it. The roster has holes.

We also let our top RB go in free agency. So yeah just the guy thats throws the ball, runs the ball and catches the ball. No biggie right?

We didnt play well at any point last year and injuries weren't our only problem. Not sure why you need to minimize them either. They were significant.

Several times in history good teams have become awful over the course of one offseason.

2001 Bears 13-3 to 4-12
1999 49ers
2013 Texans
2013 Falcons

The list goes on but i dont have time to school your ignorance. Also I know you like to put stuff out there as fact and then when you get called out disappear so whats the point right?

I think the expiration date should be checked on that. Romo is now 36 years old with a body collecting social security. We can't just assume he's going to be a top shelf starter if he can stay on the field.

Romo has to stay healthy. I don't doubt he'll stay on the field, barring another broken bone.

The fact that he's playing with a target on his lower back, and that we don't have a backup or a defense that can carry us for a few games -- those are concerns. Even if Romo is a top 5 passer and our offense dominates, the defense is still a concern.

No doubt the roster still has holes, but the bolded actually happened last season to the Baltimore Ravens. They were widely regarded as a Super Bowl contender after giving the Patriots all they could handle in the 2014 playoffs, only to finish 5-11 due to injuries to key players.

At least the Cowboys were 3-1 in games where Romo played. Baltimore was 3-7 in their 10 games with Flacco.

Its happened several times. He pulled that out of thin air and presented it as fact.

 

[Jstopper]

They had no pass rush. They also had zero chance to compete for anything, as evidenced by the fact they turned into the worst team in football when Manning went down. No player will take a team capable of that to a title. No player is that important. This is idiotic fan nonsense.

You are reaching and trying to pass on generalized assumptions as facts. But the facts keep proving you wrong and that's why you're getting stomped out in this thread

Now put your delicate emotions aside and face the fact we are a very good team.

The 2015 Cowboys were viewed by the clueless as a Super Bowl contender. That's what you mean. Most didn't view them that way. Those that were right viewed them as a middle of the pack team at best. Those type of teams are capable of turning into pure garbage with a few injuries not true Super Bowl contenders.

You'd be hard pressed to convince anyone who knows a single thing about football that the Cowboys would have been a different team with Orlando Scandrick. A slot cornerback.

Yes, I'm reaching. The Colts were such a contender that Manning and the team agreed to part ways to start a rebuild. The team was like, let's blow this up and build it again for the hell of it.

Does anybody got any fan repellent?

 

[Risen Star]

Only in fantasy land were the Cowboys a Super Bowl contending team brought down to laughing stock first pick in the draft contention status by a few injuries. This is the sort of thought process that gives fans a bad name.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The 2015 Cowboys were viewed by the clueless as a Super Bowl contender.

Then the world must be full of clueless people. Coming off a 12-4 season and getting jobbed from the NFC Championship game many "experts" agreed they were Super Bowl contenders.

 

[NeonDeion21]

Only in fantasy land were the Cowboys a Super Bowl contending team brought down to laughing stock first pick in the draft contention status by a few injuries. This is the sort of thought process that gives fans a bad name.

I mean... Vegas had them as 10/1 to win the Super Bowl before the first game of the season in 2015. Only four other teams had higher odds. So no, it was more than people in "fantasy land" that viewed them as Super Bowl contenders..

I said it was nondebatable.

You'd be hard pressed to find more than one single idiot that doesnt think are a different team with Romo, Dez, and Scandrick.

They are now a very good team with these players healthy. You will face this fact. And it will hurt.

Prediction:this fact will make him whine more.

Man, Cowboyswillrise really called it. He presented you with facts, as others have, and you disappear. Sounds like it happens a lot. You're really making a very dumb argument but, I guess it's your thing so I'll allow you to carry on.

You were right. He disappeared.

They are now a very good team with these players healthy. You will face this fact. And it will hurt.

What you said is irrelevant. It's not debatable in a room full of homer fans. If you think for a single second that a super bowl contending team falls apart like that based off of three players, you're clueless.

Yes, I'm making a "dumb" argument.

See, it's "dumb" in fantasy land to think a team might have some other roster issues other than the 3 injured players to go from Super Bowl contender to 1st pick in the draft contention.

That is "dumb". Says the peanut gallery.

 

[Risen Star]

Then the world must be full of clueless people. Coming off a 12-4 season and getting jobbed from the NFC Championship game many "experts" agreed they were Super Bowl contenders.

Really?

Name these "many experts". If you need help with this fantasy list, I'll help you.

Do you understand odds and betting? That answer would be no with this ridiculous response.

The Cowboys are always over valued in the odds. Always. You'd see that same thing for the vast majority of the last 20 years.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Really?

Name these "many experts". If you need help with this fantasy list, I'll help you.

Yes really.

Not going to name any. You want to know who look them up yourself. All the preseason pickers had the Cowboys winning the east and returning to the playoffs. No fantasy just reality.
