Is anyone else just indifferent with this team anymore?

[RS12]

The losses bothered me in my younger years. Now I am just numb to it. If Jerry was going to build a true contender it would have happened by now, if even by accident.

Fine. Keep Shotty. A clueless coach. I honestly don’t care none of it matters it seems.

I didn't say that either. What I'm saying is firing him is going to lead to another coach like him or worse coming in. Nothing is going to change until the boss changes

 

[Ozymandias]

This team hasn’t been serious about winning in decades…why should I be mad when they lose? I’m a fan, I’m gonna watch, but let it ruin my night or day? Nah, we off that.

I see that it’s the Jones boys that is keeping this team in the mud, I can’t even be mad at the players and coaches anymore…(I’m kidding, but only half way lol)

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Ever since that GB playoff game. This team will never win à sb as long as Jerry and his puppet coaches are in charge

Is anyone else just indifferent with this team anymore? I used to get highly emotional and let the game ruin my day/night. Now I just shake my head and go to bed. I think it’s been a decade since I was really invested.

I tuned away

 

[Captain-Crash]

You're cowboydak; what do you expect? LMAO

 

[dagreat1_87]

Sorry to say, but i go into each game expecting a loss, and hope to be pleasantly surprised. trust me when i say it's completely changed my mindset. Have low expectations and you'll never be disappointed.

In a word: yes.

In a few paragraphs:

I’m foreign born and raised; have never lived in the US; wasn’t brought up with gridiron football; I chose the sport 20 years ago, and I chose an AFC team that I still follow. After a year or two of being accused of glory-hunting (you can guess which AFC team it was), I decided I would also follow an NFC team, and I chose a team with a proud history who hadn’t won in a while. I chose the Cowboys.

Now I’m choosing to say goodbye. I nearly made the decision after last year, but I got re-motivated by this offseason; not sucked all the way in - just intrigued enough to keep going.

But this is the final nail. There isn’t one phase of the ball where they’re remotely well coached.

When I fell in love with this game from half the world away, I fell in love with the fundamentals being done well; with professionalism; with winning football; with a team that had identity and self-respect.

The Cowboys - in all the time I’ve followed them - haven’t had a jot of any of the above, and I am so beyond done.

I might check in here every now and then, because you guys have made this such a fun forum to be part of, but I will spend the remainder of this season weaning myself off of the Dallas Cowboys.

I mean I agree but the boss ain’t going anywhere and I just because he’s not doesn’t mean we should have to sit through incompetence

I'm numb to pretty much everything Cowboys. I don't get emotional anymore. The Jones' have sucked the enthusiasm out of me over the last 10 years or so. I used to be so passionate about Dallas but I just can't bring it anymore. How the heck can i care when the people IN CHARGE OF THE TEAM don't know or care about building a winning team. It's not even pathetic anymore. Its apathy.

31 years of futility will make you that way

I just don't like this team. I love the Cowboys, but not this iteration. The defense is somehow even worse than last year. I don't like the play calling, I don't like the attitude. They seem woefully unprepared every single week. You just never know which version will show up. And yeah, I kinda just don't care as much anymore.

 

[offlimits]

What some call indifference, I call being “Jones-sober”. I know the man behind the curtain and he’s proven after three decades that he’s a football idiot. Btw, I’ve been Jones sober for 15 years now.

Jones sober?

Yep!

 

[Old'Boyfan]

It's not uncommon for me to lose interest by halftime.

 

[stuckindc]

I became convinced JJ really did sell his soul for SB30 after the 2007 Giants loss in the playoffs. I still get mad sometimes but I try not to get emotionally invested too much anymore

That 07 year, 2014 and the final for me was losing to GB on 2016 After that I detached myself. The 2024 GB playoff game was over quickly so it wasn’t as bad
