Hard Pills to swallow as Cowboys fans

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Nothing we do will hit him there. even if we all stop watching or what have you, there are enough opponents and haters of ours that will more than make up for that. He showed he's sensitive to criticism, so maybe there's something we can use there.

That's the only other thing he cares about

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

That's the only other thing he cares about

Well, exactly, and that's the easiest way to get to him.

 

[pacy]

Stephen does not have the cojones to tell his father anything.

He took away the Manziel card out of Jerry's hand.

 

[ICP]

You know what makes those pills easier to swallow? The smile that should be on our faces every time a broadcast cuts to Jerry's dejected old wrinkled lost looking stupid face while he's watching his team getting their rear ends handed to them.

 

[ICP]

Don't really agree with #1 and I find #2 laughable. The players should be firing the fans up by playing great football and showing heart on the field. Even Michael Irvin said the Cowboys players looked like they were checked out by halftime and thinking about their vacations.

 

[ShortRound]

"We" is just marketing, there's no we or loyalty from ownership lol.

 

[ArtClink]

Our beloved fuhrer will no doubt continue to give the finger to every fan while strengthening his resolve to never stop strangling our team to death. He will never stop being the GM until he is dead and lowered into his gold plated casket at the 50 yd line at AT&T stajum. Fan outcry will only produce a new big name head coach that the fuhrer will micromanage to death. Dallas is where NFL head coaches come to kiss their hc career goodbye.

Oh and this just in, the fuhrer will be named father of the year later this year in a teary eyed ceremony and only one more season to go to hit 30 years of no nfc championship games.

I, like many of you, love the Cowboys. This is the team that I've pulled for since I was 6, and I always plan to do so. However, every fanbase comes to that moment where they need to understand certain truths. In other words, there are hard pills to swallow as fans. Here are some hard pills to swallow as Cowboys fans. I think the sooner we understand these and take these pills, the sooner we can understand the reality of our situation. Then, the sooner as fans we can do something about it.

1. Quitting on the team and not filling seats won't fix Jerry. For those of you who think that not going to games will take money away from Jerry, that's not how it works. Most of the seats are sold to corporate, and those that aren't bought by our fans will go to other fans. That's why there were seemingly more Lions fans than Cowboys fans on Sunday. It may seem like a slap to Jerry, but he's getting paid regardless.
2. We are a soft team because we are a soft fan base. Do you think, as I tried to point out in a thread earlier this week, that our division rivals would be allowed to quit mid game like our team did? Of course not! The other teams, even if they're not good like the Giants, at least give their all. Why? Because you can't quit in Philly, New York, Buffalo, or Boston. Their fans will never let you hear the end of it. Instead, the team in Dallas is soft because we are more willing to quit on them and let them do what they do. What we should be doing is going to the games and getting as ruthless to them as our rivals would be to their teams if they give the effort the Cowboys have at home in 2024. Dak said he wanted the vibes, let's give them the vibes we feel about them. If we can rattle the players, there's a chance it rattles Jerry.
3. We are not America's Team anymore. Nobody outside of the Dallas Cowboys fan base or organisation actually thinks that anymore. And that's okay! It puts an unnecessarily large target on our backs. I know where it comes from, but it doesn't change the fact that nobody actually sees is as that. We need to actually win to re-earn that nickname if we want it back.
4. The Dallas Media is soft, bought, and paid for by Jerry. You saw in the way Jerry treated "The Fan" how he was quick to point out that he can replace them. He tripled down on it recently. Part of the reason he's allowed to exist in his world instead of of reality is because he's surrounded by an echo chamber that only tells him what he wants to hear.
5. Part of the reason we fans are disliked is because some of us think year in year out it's our year. It's not! We are not always going to be contenders. Especially not with the inactive offseason we had. The fact things are going badly for the team should be the least surprising thing this season. Maybe, if we fans can be more honest about our team and realise that we are nowhere near a championship as some might think, then, we can approach things with clarity.
6. Jerry can't handle true criticism, and it showed in his recent media interviews. This isn't exactly a hard pill, but it's a pill that is surprising. However, this is the best pill of the 5. Jerry is desperate. He can tell that we aren't happy. In his desperation, he showed his true colours. He's a narcissist who can't handle criticism. We, as fans, can use this.

When you take these 6 pills, you actually realise that there's something as fans we can do about our situation, and it needs to start in Dallas as many of us are outside of Texas. Jerry showed he can't handle criticism, especially when he's desperate. What we need is to flood Dallas media with our frustrations. At games, we need to be as loud as possible. I'm talking "Jerry sucks" chants, billboards to troll Jerry, signs at the stadium, the works. There are more of us than there are of Jerry and his boys. They can't ban all of us. The reality of the situation is that, we are 3-3 and have a brutal schedule ahead. If we miss the playoffs, it's on Jerry for his offseason inactivity. However, as fans, we can demand more, and it's time we take a leaf from our rivals and learn how to actually show true passion about the team. Not the deluded idea that everything will work out and we will win the SB. That won't happen anytime soon. When we look at the reality of our situation, we can approach things with honesty and clarity. In so doing, we can actually approach the games by holding our team accountable more. We can tell the media what we honestly think about our teams.

In other words, we can give Jerry an honest offer.

The stadium will always sell out. Part of the reason the Cowboys are America's Team, is because anti-Cowboys fans love to watch us lose. Our ratings are not just from our fans.

 

[plasticman]

Sadly, it's not so hard to swallow a pill when you've been taking that same medication for 28 years.

Exactly my point about why walking out doesn't necessarily work.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Don't really agree with #1 and I find #2 laughable. The players should be firing the fans up by playing great football and showing heart on the field. Even Michael Irvin said the Cowboys players looked like they were checked out by halftime and thinking about their vacations.

I get that the players should be firing up the fans, but I mean they don't have to worry about us as much as our rivals. Do you think the fans in Philly would let their team check out by halftime?

 

[blueblood70]

Oh, no doubt. Zeke was phenomenal with what he did his rookie year. I'm just wanting to try to find a back that can last a long time too, but yeah, Zeke's rookie year was amazing.

It wasn't just his rookie year he was really good for the first four years and had he not been suspended he would have had three straight rushing titles right out of college back-to-back 1800 yard games in college people under appreciate this man.. His numbers as they are right now are better than Terrell Davis numbers in his career so when you say you want a guy with a longer career that doesn't usually last that long for most running backs Derek Henry is an anomaly most running backs do not last that long Emmitt Smith was the pillar his face is next to the picture of anomaly for running backs playing as long as they did...

But like I said I'm just pointing out there's a lot of these running backs with these names coming out of college recently the top five are not as impactful as Ezekiel Elliott you gotta hope that the one we get can at least have a four or five year career like that that's what you need you can do that every 4-5 years right if you don't wanna pay the running back you get a new one every four to five years you anticipate you give him his first contract and then the year before that contract runs out you go get another one that's what you should be doing in this day and age the Derrick Henry's paying guys like saquon Barkley I just don't think you should do it they should've never paid Ezekiel Elliott and I agree with Jerry Jones why would you go get a guy who might fall off a Cliff yes Derek Henry made me look like a liar he's an anomaly I didn't think he had much left but here I still not sure Derek Henry could have done what he's doing there with the threat from the run game and the way they use their run game with Lamar Jackson freeze up Derrick Henry an hour run game looks like a high school run game art offensive line coach and the play calling and the lack of commitment to the run game I thought I think he would be a waste of $9 million here I could be wrong but I'm not upset we didn't get Derrick Henry yes it looks like it was a mistake like we should have got Bobby Wagner these are two mistakes that are wonderful GM made but we've had great run game before why do you somehow think that the greatest run games that we've ever had​

where did that get us DeMarco Murray had one of the best single season ever hear from as the Dallas cowboy set a record that gets into the Green Bay game and fumbles with a very costly fumble but he was one of the best running backs in the NFL it got us nowhere remember we're talking about 28 years of utility yeah I didn't how great Barber remember you need a tough guy matched with the two Jones guys those are some pretty good running backs those were good running games back then and then you get Ezekiel Elliott his first four years in the league he was the best running back in the league I know Derek Henry got a slow start because he was splitting carries with ironically, DM..

But we've had great offensive lines and great run games and it always seems to not get us anywhere and everyone thinks that seems to be the key to why we're losing this year and I'm saying there's one clear cut field issue is mental mistakes throughout the whole entire team our coach is getting out coached in the big games but defense you can keep going back and say how close it appeared to look in some of those games like the 8 point loss with the Rams but they gave up 276 yards on the ground two 100 yard backs is why we lost that game if you look at the one San Francisco loss it looked like a close game but no they gave up 10 yards per carry and ate up a **** ton of clock kept the ball away from Prescott in our offense it doesn't matter when I run game is gonna be their defense remain fresh while their offense was running roughshod over us just because they didn't give up a lot of points does not mean the narrative was not that defense really lost that game yeah that one game where it might have been the same game but the two San Francisco losses in the playoffs the defense appeared to play well but truly they did not if you look deeper you had Trayvon diggs Mr. interception drops an interception that clearly could have changed the game Trayvon diggs Mr. I don't know how to tackle should have broke up that pass to kittles..

I can keep going but you look at the Green Bay losses both in the Romo years and the Prescott years in the playoffs it was the final drives it was defense look at all the games we lost last year what was really the key to those it looked like bad defense to me in the bigger games the two blown leads and Dan Quinn era and Jacksonville and Green Bay in the regular season that was defense Miami Prescott gave them the lead with four minutes left and what happened the defense again could not hold all this hate on Prescott in the offense and praying for a better run game and a better offensive line we've seen that before it got us nowhere..

How about one of these big games the defense literally shuts down a team gives them nothing never lets them breathe from the first snap to the last snap you know like the big time defenses that we've seen with the Ravens in the past and we've seen it with some of the old bears team the Chicago Bears Super Bowl run when they came out in games when they only gave up under 13 points a game there are many games teams couldn't even get 2 field goals on them you know how easy it is to play offense and those types of games I'm not even asking for that but how can we at least have a defense that takes control of a game from the beginning to the end it can hold a team let's just be fair here can we get 16?

So yes I'm just still on a rant like you this is an off week we don't have any football except today my Longhorns play I'll be biting my nails on this one big time matchup with Georgia but we've had the strong run games we've had the big offensive lines we've had the quarterback we've even had the triplets we've had great wide receivers one thing that we're missing in some of these big games is a truly shut down defense a stingy defense that came in the game with some attitude and literally did not allow the other team to set the tone our defense in the last 20 years most of them in the playoffs and big games in the regular season has let the other teams set the tone...

Rant over LOL for now

 

[blueblood70]

I get that the players should be firing up the fans, but I mean they don't have to worry about us as much as our rivals. Do you think the fans in Philly would let their team check out by halftime?

What do you mean let I still don't understand what you think fans have control of something you mean Howie Roseman in the great Philadelphia Eagles that lost five of their last six games down the stretch last year that literally lost their locker room look like the last two seasons late in the year I don't see Philly fans backing off they're still filling up stadiums and guess what they only have one total super bowl since 1960..

the Philadelphia organization that's one little measly trophy in that case on their wall. they are waiting on #2 we are waiting on 6... so all these teams you speak of not allowing their teams off the hook. they all have choked away games and seasons far more than we have... how many do i need to do the math for you 1960-2024 -1 sb win.. that means there's a whole lot of disappointing endings to years...

 

[blueblood70]

I haven’t spent a dime on the Cowboys since 2007. I went to dozens of games at Texas Stadium and remember those times fondly.

But I realized once the new stadium was built, that Jerry had different priorities. Jerry has been committed to keeping the stadium at the forefront of entertainment and building his philanthropic empire. Winning another title has taken a back seat.

Until Jerry decides to assign a worthy GM, I’ll spend my money elsewhere.

you do realize that jerry's not the first one to build a stadium like that nor was the last and like every single billionaire in the NFL they all have money first , you can keep acting like jerry some isolated case of an selfish ownership with money on his mind and marketing and making more money, you would be WRONG all 32 that is priority number one for every business on earth!!!

And I don't care and I don't think Jerry cares about where you one lonely little fan spends his money.. this about the big picture. I'm not saying you don't have a right to feel that way but you all act like Jerry is like special case and yet he pays his stars BIG$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ he spends the cap like all 32 teams. i mean there may be an isolated one or two teams here and there I mean there may be an isolated one or two teams here and there every now and again to blow up their future cap years and go "all in" but MOST nearly ALL NFL owners are more like jerry and less like these few..

I realize we're angry and I'm not saying Jerry's a top NFL executive.... However, what I am saying is there's no way we'd be a top six regular season team in wins if all Jerry was worried about with money because he simply never pays his stars.. if he wanted to be truly bad, we'd be in the bottom 6 not the top 6in Regular season wins. literally would just keep the team full of jags but you forget that would not go hand in hand with marketing ie they work both ways , fans maybe upset with playoff losses but they could be more upset if they were full of losing seasons with no division titles and playoff appearances,, the reason hey are still E# 1 in media coverage, prime time games , and the teams net worth is THEY ARE STILL LOOKED AT AS ONE OF THE BETTER TEAMS IN THE NFL. Not the best but a top team top 6-10 is way above average and it keeps the interest. I mean, if that were untrue why are you here talking about the Cowboys not spending money, you're spending your time and your time is more valuable than money IMHO​

​

I realize our expectations are more than that but that's a fact, undeniable FACT.. those accolades are winning, its why hes getting away with these things you complain about, you could never do that being in the bottom 16 of the league nor the bottom five...​

​

Again, not claiming Jerry some special executive but somehow, he's kept his team in prime-time games not because of marketing, because he's winning, yes it's just the regular season but when you win 36 games, two division titles, and you've been to the playoffs 5 out of the last eight years ,that 100% counts as winning, for sure there's a core part of the fan base that come in here and are very disappointed very angry and they think we're losing and that we're losers and clowns and part of a circus and a laughing stock BUT that only because of the payoff disappointments and different expectations.. The reality is the Dallas Cowboys are still one of the better teams in the league they have been for a better part of a decade now... Just look at the last three years I realize it's not enough for some of you but that is the reason Jerry's filling stands and people are still buying gear. It is exactly why we're still content kings people will have to mention the Dallas Cowboys all over the Internet all over their sports media shows they lead with the Cowboys the Cowboys are in the mouth of everyone the haters, the fans, and those are just simply indifferent, but they all talk about the Cowboys.​

​

But yes, not being able to build a team for the payoff long haul, hes fell on his face. i get that part of this narrative. But this whole Jerry doesn't care he doesn't wanna win that doesn't work he has to win enough to remain relevant enough to market his brand you have to be winning the Dallas Cowboys are winning just not to the tune of a certain core of the fan base who remain disappointed because of the futility in the playoffs but those playoff losses are better than not making the playoffs at all and there are many teams that don't even sniff division titles or playoffs and that is why he has to win and winning makes money because that is what businesses do you market your brand in order to sell your brand you have to stay on top... Truly bad products go out of business they don't sell they don't stay popular people forget about them,..​

​

That is not the Dallas Cowboys they may be a playoff failure and a huge disappointment to a lot of you and to myself at times yes a kick in the gut like these last four home losses but they are far from being a bad team and this runoff is this far from being a bad front office they just aren't one of the front offices that doesn't make them bad that just makes them just who they are.​

Well, and I'll go one step further. I think the league sabotaged us in 2017. The fix was in. The league's own investigator thought Zeke's accuser was not credible. I think, if not for that, we had a shot in 2017, and that's what I think led to Jerry leading a coup against Roger that next offseason.

I think, if not for that, we had a shot in 2017, and that's what I think led to Jerry leading a coup against Roger that next offseason.

The only reason I know that Ezekiel Elliott was going to win another crown because he led the league in rushing yards per game like over 100 and he'd have been here all 16 games he literally would have won another Rush crown and the Cowboys would have been better....

But I'm just trying to remind you we've had some of the best run games over the last decade or more it is not got us any further in the playoffs... What just drives me crazy because since the loss last week on Sunday all we can talk about is the offense we need another wide receiver we need a better running back and blah blah blah know what we need is a defense... I realize there's some small issues on offense but I think what we have on this team given the coaches doing a better job getting the offensive line to gel a little better and actually commit to the run game will be fine have guys stop running into each other on the field or going off script and running their routes like Troy said it isn't that Sadie lamb doesn't know how to run routes he goes off script he chooses when to think the ball might not come to him 'cause he might not get open so he changes the route and he goes rogue he needs to stop doing that he's making no effort to get back to some balls he knows about to get picked up because he ran a bad route.. I believe those things are gonna get fixed or they can be fixed within but the defense that's the shambles right now I don't care how many of those guys come back which should help but before they all got hurt I mean the back-to-back games against the Ravens and Saints most of those guys were there and we got our butts kicked the defense is where we need to focus not just in the future right now they need to figure this out because without a defense that can hold a team under 17 points you're gonna lose a lot of games especially when they take control of games and eat up the clock and keep the ball out of the hands of your offense and now you're asking your offense to play perfectly don't make Bing don't you dare have a bad series or have a drop or a fumble or an interception 'cause now we're gonna lose 'cause we're depending on you to be the whole team..

I believe that's the biggest problem we've had for decades and it's been a problem last year and it's a problem this year i don't know how that gets fixed but it has to start with the defense.. We have the pieces on offense for the most part I think a coaching staff can get this thing going or any coaching staff can take these core players these younger players on our offense you add a running back in the draft or whatever we're gonna be fine but somebody needs to figure out why our defenses can never stand up against the better offenses the better offensive coordinator minds the guys who can look over and go hey I know what you're doing and we're gonna eat your lunch today and they make no adjustments during the game it happened with marinelli it happened with no one it happened with Quinn and it's happening again somehow we need to get that philosophy fixed. And I realized Trayvon diggs and guys like him they're not tackling machines they don't have that mindset I mean our own Deion Sanders said it's a business decision he didn't go tackle people either but we need those guys to at least be a little better at it at least want to do it better.....​

I think we need to get defensive minded leader(s) ,I think we need the head coach to be a defensive head coach like they have in Houston right now we've had our fill of offensive minded coaches that's not what we need I think our offense could run with just your normal offensive coordinator we need a physical demanding defensive minded head coach and let him hire his people from top to bottom Yep that means even if al Harris has to leave I don't care I don't want any remnants of the old team I want the head coach to bring in his type of guys.

I couldn't agree more. I personally want Vrabel or Glenn. As for OC, I want a Callahan-type coach who demands a physical rushing attack

What do you mean let I still don't understand what you think fans have control of something you mean Howie Roseman in the great Philadelphia Eagles that lost five of their last six games down the stretch last year that literally lost their locker room look like the last two seasons late in the year I don't see Philly fans backing off they're still filling up stadiums and guess what they only have one total super bowl since 1960..

the Philadelphia organization that's one little measly trophy in that case on their wall. they are waiting on #2 we are waiting on 6... so all these teams you speak of not allowing their teams off the hook. they all have choked away games and seasons far more than we have... how many do i need to do the math for you 1960-2024 -1 sb win.. that means there's a whole lot of disappointing endings to years...

The only Super Bowl trophy Cowboys fans, Eagles fans, Steelers fans, Chiefs fans, all NFL teams’ fans care about is the next one. The old ones don’t make it ok to fail now. Not for the Cowboys or any other team.
