How will this season end?

[pacy]

7-9, and if that's really the case I hope Garrett and Kiffin get the boot. Get some new coaches in here and try again next year.

 

[T-RO]

It could end in pain. More likely it ends in apathy. We could be out of the running for the division before long.

How will this season end?

Badly by the looks of it.

I really don't have any confidence in this team. This is a team that must be carried by its offense and so far they've shown no ability to shoulder that responsibility. That's the reason for the Underachievement this year. The defense is a MASH unit. It is what it is. I believe they beat OAK only the rest of the way and go 6-10. Not sure if that even gets JG fired though he should be if that's the teams record.

 

[Prossman]

End up with 9-7 and win the division.

this and we will win 1 playoff game

However emphatic you may be, RS, the fact is neither of us know how the season will turn out.

Yes I do. The Super Bowl will be played weeks after the Cowboys season has ended. Like a month after.

That's what makes the NFL fun.

The NFL was a lot more fun when the Cowboys were a contender.

And LOL at your assertion that fans of either stripe are 'allowing' anything. We're fans. We root for our team because it's fun to watch the games and because we really want to see them win. Or because we have a masochistic need to watch and then complain about what we just saw. I'm not here to say either objective is better than the other.

Certainly fans are allowing it. Jerry can't do what he does without butts in the seats and merchandise flying off the shelf. If everybody was like me there'd be an immediate change. But unfortunately there's enough of you in the fan base, people willing to accept mediocrity as some test of team loyalty, that allows Jerry to micromanage this team without it ever hurting his bottom line financially.

He's got no reason to change thanks to your Go Cowboys! tattoo.

The reality is, though, that this team is still in contention. And anything might happen in 7 weeks in an NFL season. All of us who've watched the league as much as every member of CZ has know that to be fundamentally true.

And playoff berths aren't ever meaningless.

They're in contention. For the competition of worst ever NFC East champion. They're not in contention for anything after that. Spare me the any given Sunday nonsense. There is a 0% chance this team wins anything noteworthy this year. They're mismanaged and they lack talent.

So when you scoff at the fan "giving up" while tied for the division lead you seem to not understand what he's saying and why he's right. He's not giving up on the division. He doesn't care. Because he knows it's meaningless. Congrats, you're the chubby chick surrounded by fatties. Who cares?

I posted this in another thread but it applies here as to why I think Garrett should be out if this season continues to spiral downward:

Garrett was brought here for his offensive "innovation and expertise." The offense during his tenure as coordinator/ head coach has had one consistently explosive season- 2007. For that reason alone he should be fired if this team falters again. If the offense can't be consistent and produce points then Garrett being here is pointless. He's had more than enough time to make this thing go and has plenty of offensive firepower. That's the issue as I see it.

What's the point of the 'let that sink in' stuff. It's just marinating in frustration. The Steelers held Megatron in check. Let that sink in. The Eagles beat a bad Commanders team at home. Let that sink in.

I think we all knew going into the weekend that PHI might win this game. It's not really a concept we have to struggle with to understand. We get to play them again directly, so let's just see how it goes instead of trying to upset ourselves about other teams winning games during our bye week.

You sound a little chippy this afternoon...................whats wrong, the USS Garrett is taking on water and listing bad?

its the truth and its not about giving up. Its about the jones family talking a poor coaching staff and making it worse and making the offense even less effective with the insane playcalling setup.

Now we the fans have to pay the toll for this, last night Stephen jones said the team would get better because they are looking for an identity on offense. Think about that, the guy who is supposed to be a top level executive is citing
the fact that we need an offensive identity as a positive going forward....week 10 of the 7th season the guy in charge of the offense still doesn't have an identity....but he still has a job? why?

Stephen also cited Claiborne coming back and said he thinks lee might play against ny...

he is just doing what his dad does and he is now a marketing person.

this organization is about to bottom out. Once we hit January the slide off the ledge will be in full force.

There is not a single person in the building who knows how to build an organization.

The parallels between this team and the 1999-2000 Cowboys (stagger into the playoffs at 8-8 despite doing everything they could to give it away, get destroyed by Minnesota in round 1, have the bottom completely fall out in 2000 and wind up with something like one third of the cap in dead money in 2001) are positively staggering.

Then, as now we had people deluding themselves into thinking the team was talented enough to make one more run.

It's right around the corner.

I guarantee the season will end with a loss for the Cowboys.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

The season ends in one of two ways:

1) Home playoff win, or

2) Art Briles is mysteriously absent from Baylor's practices during bowl week.

 

[Coy]

8-8 once again, 1 game behind the eagles and out of the playoffs. The only positive is that Garrett should be fired.

Meh. You've got it all figured out, so I'm not going to argue your future outcomes with you. Not even when you keep trying to bait me by misusing the word 'meaningless' on purpose.

How can the season end with a home playoff win?

Nah, BfE. You should know me better than that. If Garrett ever takes on water, I'll probably say I think firing him was a mistake, and then I'll try to get behind the next guy, unless I absolutely hate him the way I hated Rob Ryan or Deion Sanders, and then I'll say that I hate the hire and deal with it then.

I don't let the fact that a handful of fans on a message board are on a tear against the HC affect my mood one way or another. I'll argue with them for the appearance of turning belly-up prematurely, though. I'm always down for a good debate.

 

[Idgit]

How can the season end with a home playoff win?

Good point.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

How can the season end with a home playoff win?

I should've qualified that comment with "Garrett is retained because the Cowboys won a home playoff game."

It's right around the corner.
