I'm at a crossroads as a fan

[Section446]

Section 444? What does that cost like $20 a game? Cmon man. Youre basically paying to watch the big tv.... Cant see the field, they look like ants

$3,600 per year for two seats. When I got them, they were pretty much my only choice, as most of the seats were gone. Now, we've considered upgrading to club level seating, as they are now available, but I can't justify spending the extra money on a losing product. I actually prefer sitting higher up, as you can see the plays develop a lot better from up high, but my wife begs to differ, and would prefer to sit down low. Where are your seats?

I have been telling my son for a few years now. Things will not change until this core group of players is gone. These guys have no heart. Can't blame the weather, the Bears had to play in the same conditions. This is the worst defense I have seen in my 40 years of being a Cowboys fan. Even when they were 1-15 back in 89 they fought and didn't give up. They had free agents and Plan B guys fighting to stay in the league and never quit. The more important the games become, the worse they perform. I am embarrassed at what I saw last night. Did the Bears even have to punt? I know Jerry wants to win but a purge is needed and they need to start a rebuilding process. Starting with Garrett. I know injuries have played a part on the defense but everyone has injuries. The Bears lost two Pro Bowlers and although they weren't great by any means, they were still outperforming the Cowboys. It's just very hard to watch.

It's not the "core players" There are no core players. We only have 2-3 guys left over from Parcells. It is the Owner, President, and General Manager.

 

[Bleu Star]

How flattering.. But what did I do to become so esteemed in your mind? I don't let a loss get to me the way I used to. It doesn't make me any less of a fan there Mr. Call Out..

Please leave this franchise as a fan then and take BleuStar w you. If you could also take idgit, ufcrules, and Romo2Austin too....

My friend I've been calling for this core to be gutted since 2010. They should me their true character that season. Fast forward 3 years and the team led by the same stale core is doing the same old disappearing act in December.

I just laugh now, and hope more pain and anger forces Jerry to do something.

the sad reality is he will not.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I'm embarrassed to admit this but there was a time in the past when I'd get so upset after losses that I would call into work or skip school on Mondays, that's how wired into the team I was. I'm still emotionally invested into the team (not to that extent), I still watch every game to the bitter end, every Talkin' Cowboys, every Cowboys Break, every Legends Show, every video on that stinkin' site and every tweet or news clipping I read. But after last night, I think its time for me to take a step back. I felt ashamed last night. Not because of the Cowboys performance necessarily, but because I was putting off important stuff in MY LIFE to watch millionaires give half-*** effort in the 4th quarter. Not anymore. I've felt the apathy creeping on me the past year, I've tried to ignore it, but I think its time to accept the fact that my fandom for this franchise is waning every day that passes with Jerry Jones as GM. I'm going to take a step back as a fan of this franchise. I still enjoy posting here as CZ is a great forum, I'LL ALWAYS BE A COWBOYS FAN but I'll be making personal changes starting this week. Time to focus my energy elsewhere throughout the week b/c being a "fanatical supporter" of a Jones led franchise just isn't worth it anymore.

Dont worry bro.....................only 3 more games and Opie is out the door.............just focus on that and it will make the losses more tolerable.

I cant believe we have wasted almost 4 years with this noob..........prime years of some of our best players just pissed away while Opie learns on the job...............freaking disgrace.

pretty disgraceful to say the least.

jerry will give him an extension though.

you know, i find myself fighting this exact thing .... sucks

well, what is the difference if we get rid of red or not really? Jerry is just gonna get another yes man like he has since Jimmy. He will not do what he really needs to do so until then, we are going to get more of the same

 

[theebs]

I feel your pain.

I think most of us have suffered this in some form or fashion since they threw in the towel against Jacksonville in 2010.

That is the day it changed for me. I couldn't believe what I was watching in the stadium that day.

The reality is right now we are going through the campo years again, the only reason we are not 5-11 or worse is because of Tony Romo. He is the difference, he overcomes the poor roster, the poor coaching and poor play around him at most times and wins us games. Its hilarious that he has any detractors.

anyway. Campo didn't have a franchise qb, we do now and I never thought the jones family could find a way to screw everything else up if they had a qb, but they have.

oh well. I guess we will just have to sit and take it. Nothing is going to change.

except for romo, witten and ware retiring in a couple of years and who knows when the next time is that we will get players of this caliber around here again.

 

[ajk23az]

This is the type of thread that gives CZ it's reputation and Cowboys fans their "fairweather" moniker. *smh*

That's a lot of money. I'm not sure why you would have to defend yourself for it.

Well it's been awhile since I made that trip but I think I still remember the directions, in case you get lost.

 

[theSHOW]

Put me in the apathetic category, also. I still watch every single game, but I simply don't care, anymore. A few years ago, when San Antonio was mentioned as a possible landing spot for a football team, I swore that I'd still follow the Cowboys even with a team in backyard. Now, I'm praying that SA gets a team (SD or Jax) so I can have a reason to jump ship.

Just jump now. You are a sorry fan that needs a new team. No need to wait for a local team with the internet you can follow the jaguars now.

Goodbye.

 

[Don Corleone]

I used to be emotionally invested until my twins were born about 9 years ago. As they've gotten older, I find I have less time to be down on the Cowboys because others are depending on me to be at my best at both home and work. Soccer, baseball, piano, scouting, and other kids activites consume most of my free time. I also find age has done a lot to temper my emotions. I was in college during the 90's Cowboys Super Bowl run, and it was a great time to be fan. I do purchase the Sunday Ticket package, but not for the sole purpose of watching the Cowboys. My wife is a Saints fan, and my son is a 49ers fan, so they get some use out of it too.

 

[Miller]

I'm in the apathy crowd. I'm 43 and starting watching around when a kid really got into football..5 or 6. So 1975-1976. I lived and breathed Cowboys. I expected excellence and they rarely let me down even when losing some SBs to Pittsburgh. I remember "The Catch" and how I flung my TV tray across the room. I remember being so upset after losses that winning the lottery wouldn't pull me out of a funk. Then Jerry 1996-Present happened. At first my fire didn't waiver and I found ways to convince myself that Campo, Gailey and whomever was the right fit. Even if they weren't I had faith Jerry would go get a Deion or TO or someone to shake things up. Now Jerry does nothing. Now Jerry holds onto players and coaches who don't get the job done. Now Jerry feeds the public so much b.s. that it makes me mad. It makes me mad that a man can assume everyone is so dumb. It makes me mad that expecting excellence is no longer an expectation and that just making the playoffs at .500 is. I no longer get mad after Sundays despite cheering. I just shrug and go play with my kids. Do I secretly want them to lose....no. But do I think a losing season that implodes might wake Jerry up? Maybe. We sit at .500 and he makes comments like we are always a few plays away from a SB vs realizing that we are players, coaches, a GM and other things away. The more he is interviewed, the more frustrated I get. Now I'd rather go to the park with my 3 kids than watch a game and hear Jerry's spin.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I like football. I will pretty much watch any game even those Utah State vs Montana U games that show up on cable at 2 am.

I've always liked the Cowboys but when Jerry does interviews saying he's doing a great job & oh by the way I'm going to do this till I die so take that it's easy to turn on the Sunday Ticket & watch other games.

It does make me less of a fan than others I know but the Jerry Show has finally worn me down.
