Can You Admit You Gave Up On The Season?

[RoboQB]

Nah they're the second best team in the division. Giants and Commanders still need a franchise QB, neither of them have one.

"Hey! you! Get off of my cloud"... lol/jk.

 

[8FOR!3]

It's still difficult for me to believe in this team. But I'm going to give them credit where it's due. I don't feel GREAT going into the playoffs even though today was the best case scenario, but I am obviously hoping for the best and I'm not going to be negative either.

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

The only time I felt worse than the Miami game this year (in the last decade ) was the dez catch. So yeah it got dark.

 

[zeroburrito]

beating detroit and washington means nothing. those teams are going nowhere. back to back losses against buffalo and miami was bad.

 

[windward]

No one? Didn't I tell you that the Eagles could lose to the Cardinals and the Giants?

There were literally people saying this could happen and all the “realists” insisted it wouldn’t.

Ugh. It’s you.

Ii never gave up on the season but I did give up on the 2nd seed and clinching our division. And I was ok with 5th seed. Even thou I knew that would be much harder route for us.

 

[ConstantReboot]

It wasn't the loss to the 9ers, or even the Eagles, but there were a few dark moments after the back to back Bills and Dolphins. I did settle for 5th place.
But this team weathered the storm clouds and grabbed the East.

What's your story.

It's all about resilience, isn't it? Watching our Cowboys navigate this season was like riding a rollercoaster of emotions. The losses to the 9ers and Eagles stung, but it was those back-to-back defeats against the Bills and Dolphins that really tested our grit. Yet, here we are, standing tall as the champions of the East.

Our story might have its chapters of adversity, but it's the comeback that makes it a classic. They say it's not about how you start but how you finish, and our boys finished strong. The Eagles, on the other hand, let victory slip through their fingers when it counted most, allowing us to swoop in and claim our rightful place at the top.

Now, we look ahead with our sights set on bigger goals. How did your journey with the Cowboys go this season?

 

[windward]

i.....i just

yall couldnt sit in the bar with me or go to a game with me

cowboys sitting there at 10-3 and yall talking about "i give up man"

yall would kill my buzz and make me hate football

It’s like they haven’t watched the evolution of a football season. This ish has twists and turns.

 

[ak47kaehu]

I never give up.......but my hopes weren't high.....

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

It is what it is

If you can't deal with facts, that's on you

I can deal with facts, what I will not deal with is wusses like you. No facts, no insight , just constant limp wristed bs, disguised as football talk..C'mon little fella, back up your be with facts. Bytchass be like you always spout. Leave me alone, MITCH

 

[rambo2]

I am still not convinced.
Did we win the east, or did the egirls gift wrap it for us?

Lol, you are convinced that the Cowboys will never win with Jerry as gm. You say it all of the time. It's ridiculous. The Cowboys are very good and just might win the whole thing. I told you to enjoy the ride, but you just wouldn't listen.

I gave up when we lost against the Cardinals. It took a mighty Eagles collapse to make the 2nd seed and a somewhat competent Cowboys team but I’ll take it.

Hopefully the teams that fell short in Miami, Buffalo, and SF don’t show up.

 

[Pantone282C]

Kiss off Eagles!!

 

[rambo2]

I thought they would win the division and contend for the championship the entire season. I thought that they had a better team with better depth than the Eagles the entire time. The Eagles got lucky and won a game or 2 that they shouldn't and the Cowboys caught them in the end when the Eagles luck ran out.

Now the Cowboys are in great position. They should beat the Packers at home and I think there is a good chance that the Rams beat the Lions and they might beat the 49ers as well which would give the Cowboys all 3 playoff games at home. Enjoy the ride.

 

[Streifenkarl]

I never went onboard the hype train and see no reason to do it now. That doesn't mean I can't be hopeful for the outcome of these play offs, because I am. They're looking good so far, let's hope everyone will be onboard next game.

Those wins against the Eagles and Detroit meant a lot to me as they proved we can win against contenders (and no, wins against the Rams or Seahawks don't fall into that category imo).

So throughout the season I was chilled out, not too critical but not too enthusiastic either. Alot of good games this year wouldn't allow the former but so many broken hearts in the past prohibited the latter.

So as far as I'm concerned it's all cool. I'm thankful for some great games this season and excited about the game at home against GB. Really really dislike them lol, so if we can send them packing I'll be a happy camper.

I think that, for most Cowboys fans, we say a lot of things when we are disappointed or disgusted with results. Many say they are done with the Cowboys and that typically lasts for about a week.

No Cowboy fan ever "gives up" on a season. They may say it but, deep down, they are looking at scenarios, no matter how unlikely, where the Cowboys can pull it out. They do it during every loss and they do it for the entire season.

The Cowboys might be down by three TD's with 5 minutes left and there is still a part of us that imagines a quick TD followed by a turnover, followed by another score, followed by a successful onside kick.......I don't think we can help it. Fans use different coping mechanisms, blame somebody, accuse refs, or just announce they are done with it.

The same is true for a season. We can still make the playoffs if........

It seemed highly unlikely earlier in the season, that the Cowboys could win the division but if anyone thinks this is the most unlikely scenario in which the Cowboys could prevail, then think again.

As I have discussed in earlier threads, the "miracle" season was 1970 when the Cowboys were in 3rd place in their division with five games left at a time when there was only one wildcard team in each conference and only three divisions in each conference.

Therefore, the Cowboys were not even in contention for the wildcard with five games left. In order to win the division they would have to win out the last five games and hope the other two teams faltered

That's exactly what happened.

That's how a 5-4 team that had lost earlier in the season 54-17 and 38-0 ended up playing in their first Super Bowl.

A lot of things can happen in the NFL and you have to wait until the very end before you can get the whole story.

 

[jaythecowboy]

I never gave up on the division. I actually predicted the losses to the Seahawks, Cardinals and they would split with the Giants.

 

[The Fonz]

I have enjoyed the season so far regardless of the outcome.Now I will be very disappointed if we don't reach the SB .

The diggs injury was my lowest point
