I saw some examples early that Dak and CD were not getting along

He just said if MM needs to be held accountable for the lost so does he. If he is going to be held accountable, the only way is through the negotiations of his next contract, or to let him play it out/cut him and not resign him to a new contract. Given the latter is a low probability the former has to apply.

Wow. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Dak definitely needs to help out the team with his contract.

There is something more fundamental going on with this team than the need for better players. For the past 20 years, the Cowboys have had better players than at least half of the teams (probably more like 75%) in the playoffs yet we continue to fail 100% of the time. In 20 years we have made the playoffs 10 times and we have only won 4 games (and never 2 games in a year)...that's out of 38 possible win opportunities. Even with pure luck we should have won twice as many as that. To be that bad with different coaches players and era's should nearly be impossible. I know the common denominator is JJ and I credit him with 75% responsibility...but there is something else not right...maybe it's the pressure of playing the most high profile team in the world...maybe there is some truth to the casual manipulation of the game to influence outcomes (I know, I know that's tin foil hat territory...but with sports gambling where it is today and that post someone put up about the impact of the Cowboys merchandising contract has on the rest of the owners and the fact that NFL is a multi-billion dollar business that seems to do great when the Cowboys are almost good but not good enough...keeps Cowboys fans motivated and Cowboys haters, which there are 10 times as many holding on ti witness the great implosion. And by manipulation, I don't mean ensuring the results, I mean minor manipulation that tips the scales in favor of the outcome you want and let the results be what they are...i.e. tilt the scale in favor of the house and they will win a majority of the time. I know I digressed and I will get roasted for that last thought, but back to my original concern, this is way bigger than players in any given year on the Cowboys, the coach at any specific time, or The bumbling GM. All of those do play a major part in the final results, but something else is there and I can't quite put my finger on it.

You’re right. This makes way more sense than our players are just mentally soft and entitled. Who then get rolled in the playoffs by teams that want it more than they do.

Just venting lOL I thought I was gonna stay away from all sports related Cowboys related topics for a couple of days but I just needed to get it out.... I was thinking we could just bring this back once again before the game thinking there's no way we should fire Mike McCarthy or push Dan Quinn out but there was one factor that I told myself if we're not in this game if we're not competitive if we look unprepared then I am willing to say it's time to bust it all up and start over..... We've seen it before I mean over in the San Diego Chargers they finally got tired of losing in the playoffs and let a coach go that was 14 and two that year... It's not unheard of but if they're gonna do it I want them all gone I don't want any pieces left over I mean where are we gonna need about 17 new players and we need to keep the core players but the as far as the coaching staff goes if you're gonna get rid of one you need to get rid of them all....

The first pick was not really on Dak. But of all the times to have this type of games.. was a team lose. Defense was terrible..

I could buy that if it was the same core group of players...but we are talking hundreds of players, 4 different HCs with at least 10 different coaching staffs over 20 years. Again something else is behind it. And not just saying it's the conspiracy theory stuff...that was just one (of many) alternative suggestions.

You would love that.

Thankfully, Jerry is not as ignorant. Dak and CeeDee will be returning.

Jerry is ignorant that’s why it’s 29 years and counting and next year will be more of the same beating the dregs and folding against the better ones. Dak choked worse that he ever did and put up those garbage stats against the 2 and 3 stringers. There is no defense for Dak at this point he’s just a liability when the pressure is on. Love took his lunch and milk money and GB is still laughing as well as the rest of the football world at jokes the Cowboys call a QB and HC but americas Karen will be here cast blame on all the other players. No excuses this time 48-16 and Dak gave 14 of those points to GB.

I never said they didn't. They did choke. they're not taking up the cap room Stats Prescott is. If he wasn't so grossly overpaid, I wouldn't come down on him as hard but he had to get paid and then not perform when it mattered. He's not the only one that should get tossed to the curb either.

So keep tossing players and rearrange chairs on the Titanic, because as long as Jerry has final say. These are the results we get. It’s unfortunate because there is nothing we can do accept acknowledge where problem numero uno lies.

99% of us know the problem is Jerry. But there's not a single thing we on the forum can do about it. We know what doesn't work. To keep trying with the same players and methods is insanity. You have to hope for something if Jerry won't do the right thing, so yeah, rearrange the deck chairs. What else can you do?

It’s the culture of the organization those players and coaches are brought into.

It’s the front office. It’s the people constructing. The team.
