Do some fans not even realize how much this franchise has bottomed out?

[LACowboysFan1]

Oh so getting to the Championship game is a sign of success?

For this team it is!

 

[Doomsday]

When Jerry said they weren't going to use free agency to plug holes in the roster he wasn't kidding.

They haven't signed a single starter in free agency. There have been a few good signings, but they obviously havent done nearly enough.

 

[gtb1943]

Not as many as they used for actual real books, magazines, and all the trash mail I still get my mailbox, I'm uninterested in...

I'd say that that would be the real killer of trees, but if you feel like that was long I feel bad for you man I know maybe your ADHD was kicking in you couldn't get to the end but you could just Passover it next time no need to reply no big deal I speak my mind and I use talk to text and I just let it run....NEXT

naw. I like to make fun of pompous types

 

[KJJ]

the cowboys have been one of the worst post season teams in the NFL. there is absolutely no denying that...and the whole point of competing is not to win your division. or make the playoffs. its to make a run at a championship...and for that, we have to get to CCG first. which we haven't done since 95

There’s teams that have gone a decade or more without making the playoffs or a playoff win. To compete for a championship you have to make the playoffs. The Cowboys have put themselves in position to make a run at a championship plenty of times but they keep faltering in the playoffs. The real good teams they’ve had during the regular season haven’t translated to the postseason. There’s a lot of teams that haven’t been to a conference title game the past 30 years.

 

[KJJ]

Some people can't make a post without making things black and white, or an extreme comment, like "the worst organization in the league the last 30 years". Just like "Dak sucks". They can't just say Dallas has been poor the last 30 years, or Dak's below average, etc. Limited ability to express things I guess...

There’s fans that have made the Cowboys and Dak out to be historically bad. This fan base exaggerates like no other.

 

[Mr_Slicky]

The last few years seen a lot of comments from some fans making fun of our players who leave in free agency and saying it's only about the money.

This year it's Jourdan Lewis and Tank taking the brunt of the homer comments. They're all about the money because they are going to teams like the Jags and Seahawks.

I guess my question for those people is do you actually realize how bad this team has been since 1997?

• Almost at bottom of list of total Playoff Wins in NFL.
• Haven't even come close to sniffing a Super Bowl.
• Never made it out of the Divisional Round.
• Long list of bad Head Coach hires.

This is not an expansion team. Why would any player NOT think he had a better chance to win somewhere else?

Dak was way ahead of Lawrence when he realized he will never win a Super Bowl with this team. That’s why he took the money. I don’t blame him at all. He’s seen how inept the front office has been.

 

[KJJ]

Other teams' failures are not my concern.

My point is our failures haven’t been as bad as some other teams. The Cowboys have been a very competitive team over the past 30 years but the playoffs haven’t gone well, mainly because of our defense. We’ve struggled to stop teams and we’ve had no pass rush. Aaron Rodgers foiled us twice in the playoffs. We better hope he doesn’t sign with the Giants.

Actually there is only one team that has not made it to the Conference Championship game in the NFC in thirty years besides us. Detroit

so once again you fail

If you want to win, you have to be good, which means beating all comers, and not "hoping" for anything.

Our offense has no ability to control the clock, grind down defenses or keep our bend don't break defensive scheme off the field. Our defense was designed this way on purpose and is predicated on the offense doing it's part.
So, total failure on both sides of the ball.
Total mediocrity, built by our GM

 

[ArtClink]

Anyone who equates regular season success to actual NFL success doesn't understand.
And it's obvious by those comments in their lack of understanding.
Sometimes it's just better to ig them than AGAIN try to explain that true NFL success is measured by post season performance.
It's no use in trying to continuously convince the blind of their ignorance.

Just ig 'em.

This.

Where did I say anything about the NFC? I didn’t! So once again you fail. Now go troll and antagonize someone else.

good thing this is on the internet; just how many trees would have died to put this on paper?

We’ve had some success moving the ball offensively in the playoffs but our defense can’t stop anyone on the ground or through the air and we’ve had no pass rush. Not saying we haven’t had some issues offensively but our defense has been consistently poor in the playoffs. Go review the offensive numbers opponents have put up against our defense over the past 30 years in the playoffs.

You lose again

In the past 30 years Dallas, Cleveland, Miami and Houston haven’t made it to a conference title game so you lose again. You must enjoy being owned. lol

Look at the time the offense has been on the field.
Putting up nothing but three and outs, a scant few firsts, a couple of pics, including a pick six in nearly an entire half, now that is pathetic.

Demarco Murray put up 123 yards rushing on the Packers in 2014 and Romo had a solid game but our defense couldn’t stop a one legged Aaron Rodgers. Zeke had 125 yards on the ground against the Packers and Dak had over 300 yards but once again we couldn’t stop Rodgers. Not to mention we scored 31 points. The Rams road graded us for over 200 yards in the playoffs. In our last playoff game the Packers kept scoring TDs on practically every drive. Our defense has been the issue. Our offense would have had more opportunities with better defensive play. Plus we don’t force turnovers in the playoffs.

But we have 4 comp picks.

 

[atlantacowboy]

I don't think the front office realizes it either.

 

[atlantacowboy]

On top of that, our plan moving forward, shows no light at the end of the tunnel.

Who believes GM Jethro's plan, of build through the draft only, is going to translate to success???

I think calling it a "plan" is generous.

There is no plan or blue print. There is no "cowboy way of doing things" anymore. We are a circus and the head clown and ringleader is Jerry Jones.
