The worst part of all this is having to watch Philly fans celebrate and make fun of us and there's nothing we can do about it. I just don't get why Philly fans are always rewarded
Because they don’t have a owner who sold his soul to the devil as rumors say, does that help you feel better

Player acquisition and player development flaws reared its ugly head all year. No sane fan can expect anything better.
And it's gotten so bad that many on here actually believed better was coming.......after watching the offseason.

We don't have a good TEAM.......and it's because of one.........The GM. And the ones around him that simply say Yes Sir.

Been saying it all year......the players called out on here aren't the problem, they are the result of the problem. The problem is one Jerry Jones.
Dak for the requirement to be perfect & flawless (irrational expectation), Zeke for being back for a reunion (not his or Dalvin Cook's fault), Cooper for being hoisted way beyond his talent (not his fault)
Derrick Henry not being called (travesty), replacing 9 starters with just the FA addition of Kendricks (bad math), hoping our OL is just plug & play (mistake), signing Dak & Cee Dee late (market value miscalculation and chemistry disruption)

We're a vehicle on the side of the road waiting for the tow truck. Thanks Jerry.

I thought the offensive line was pretty good today. Dallas needs another RB and a WR.

The defense was in for a day facing Barkley and that o-line. Some dumb plays like the 3rd-down hold on Osa. Some really bad secondary play from guy(s) that probably won’t make the roster next season. Jeez - I sure hope not anyway.

Philly is a very good team. Four turnovers on the road at those guys… that was the game.

we would have still lost even if we had not turned the ball over
Did you not watch them run RIGHT DOWN OUR THROATS when everyone knew they were going to do so?
By the time we started getting real yards on the ground we were out of the game.
They beat the crap out of us with their backup QBs
think about that

This is what happens when you have a de-facto GM who cannot be held accountable by anybody within the organization.
Dallas has had pretty much the same weak position groups for several years with little to no improvement.

This FO certainly talks-the-talk, but fails to walk-the-walk; they are so arrogant that they think they are getting one over on the fans with their inane buzzwords and flimsy excuses…they talk in terms of salary cap and the constraints it poses, while other teams are constantly re-tooling their roster to make them more competitive.

Jerry throws away draft picks on players who either aren’t starting, or not given the opportunity to start…for a team building through the draft, this is a bad strategy.
Jerry is at his core a businessman, not a football guy; but since he writes the checks he can be whatever he wants to be, at the expense of the franchise.

This was a dismal year, no doubt; injuries didn’t help, but all teams have to deal with them…I’m looking for Jerry to double down and keep the same lame HC and DC; the same QB whom you signed for a record contract, coming off a surgery to his leg, while not giving him the help he obviously needs to take this team to the playoffs…assuming he is capable of doing so. I think the jury is out on that because Dak, in his prime, failed to do so with a premiere OL, a stud RB in his prime, a future HOF TE and a good defense.

I don’t understand those who think Dak is suddenly going to exhibit a jump in talent to the next level after being in the NFL for nine-years with two surgeries…great signing Jerry.

Sorry guys…rant over. It’s just that I’ve seen the teams Dallas had in the 90’s and have witnessed their descent into mediocrity and you keep telling yourself the next year will be different…but it never is, it is more of the same indifference and excuses.

Although Jerry and his son have long been the problem holding back this team, this may be his worst GMing job of any year. So many easily recognizable mistakes were made ... ones fans knew from the start were destined to turn out poorly.

Jerry coming out and acknowledging that starting two rookies on the OL may have been a miscalculation is just the tip of that iceberg, when usually there's just one or two clearly boneheaded decisions each year.

Your comment indicates that you do not understand the business model. Winning is not the priority.

I noped out with 3 minutes left. Not because I was angry, but because it was boring. Felt like Philly was grinding Playstation trophies in Madden.

Trophy earned! 2K in 2K24 - You rushed for 2000 yards in one season!

I wanted to see Lance in the second half for entertainment. Even if he threw 5 picks again, at least that would have been more interesting than how it went.

I personally called the Zeke, Zimmer, and Dak Contract disasters before the season even started.

Pickett and McKee looked like all pros lol. Micah was invisible. A liability. We need wholesale changes.
Micah had a zero game. Was invisible. Even when he knocked out Pickett he was taking the play off when Pickett ran into his view and then he reacted and hit him. Kind of like a fat bass who finally hits a worm dropped on his nose.
