I don't understand why people are mad

It’s not a big deal, until you lose it and everything says “I knew you couldn’t beat them”.

You must be young and accustomed to the losing.

Old enough to have been a fan in the 90s.

I'm mad because we are paying Dak 40M and he is the reason we get eliminated. It happened last year too.

As a young fan, that may be. However, I'm taking it a different way. I think that there are a few areas to fix, but we went further despite less at WR than last year. I think that Maher's accuracy issues changed the course of the game. If he's more reliable, I think 1 we take momentum after the TD, and 2, Dak wouldn't have to force things due to lack of trust at kicker. So, if we can fix that area, perhaps we don't force things too much. Then, at NT. We stopped the run better, but that's an area to add depth to behind Hankins. I think Bland will be better next year. I think we will get a WR in the offseason to help. So, no, the season didn't end how we wanted, but I think this season can be a catalyst for better things next season.

This is dubious. Dak "keep firing" Prescott has been "forcing things" ALL YEAR. Note carefully his TD-INT ratio of late. A brief cessation against Tampa Bay, but right back to it versus San Francisco. He is borderline reckless with the football at times.

I really feel for young fans who didn't witness the 90s team but back then you had a quarterback and a team you could trust in the playoffs. Not so these days. Not even close.

Its sad to say, but I think what we saw last night is Dak's ceiling against the Niners defense. Bc of his contract, the only option is to load up the offense this off season and try again. We get Steele back. Hopefully get Connor McGregor back on the bench where he belongs and upgrade that LG position. Draft a RB, sign some wrs and lose Zeke.

Just stop it. They played a great team on the road that they weren’t expected to beat, and they didn’t. Their defense kept them in it until the end. The other team has a top defense and gets paid also. You people sound more like the Cowboys haters than fans. Only one team can win every week, and this wasn’t our week. You can’t keep putting 27 years worth of hard feelings on this team.

why cant we? Its been the same every year basically. I wouldn't call it bad feelings. I call it the facts.

This was one of our better seasons. We finally won a road playoff game and finally beat Tom Brady. We improved.
Lol.
Seriously though, we do this every time in the playoffs. We face real teams that are run like real teams. What do you expect?
This is as good as it's gonna get for the Dallas Cowboys. Were a team that real teams beat on their way to championships. Were a stepping stone. A latter rung. Something along their way to add to their highlight film at the end of their championship season.
I don't understand how people can think this Dallas Cowboys team, run by Jerry Jones and his family will ever actually win it all.

Great post all true The Cowboys lived up to my expectations which is making the playoffs and maybe winning a game.

I'm always very hopeful for a deeper run but in reality making the playoffs and winning a game is pretty much our ceiling with the way our team is run.

I mean honestly how many times does Jerry have to see the eagles rebuild their team and blast by us they're getting ready to host an NFC championship and possibly go to the super bowl again.

This is because they have a real general manager a real front office that take team building seriously not a family run operation by people that really aren't qualified to do the job.

Tampa was unable to get pressure on him. Dak just ran into the best defense in the NFL. The Niners blueprint is the one we should be using. I've been saying this for years. Dak is not going to pass us into a super bowl. We need a top defense and a dominant OL.

 

[CTcowboy203]

I tend to be a pretty rational cowboys fan and have taken a wide angle lens approach on the season and what it means long term but come on man…..

We had a good chance To make the nfc championship game- not like the rams game and not like a hallow come back last year against this team to make the divisional round. We had momentum and a chance to take a 13-6 lead get a stop and get the ball back at halftime if not for terrible qb play.

Of course people are angry.

He certainly is, but I think I understand why against San Francisco

 

[BrassCowboy]

I think Mike McCarthy is changing it. This team has shown a different attitude than it did with Garrett. I think this team showed more resilience than it used to have.

Well 4 people need to go, ahead 3 of the 4: Dak, Zeke, Maher, and Kellen Moore. Not in that particular order

Dak is probably staying for a minimum of one more seasons. However, I can see the rest of those three being gone.
