It turns out NFL fans are addicted to watching the Dallas Cowboys fail

[JohnsKey19]

Thanksgiving numbers will be interesting. Will the new golden child (Detroit Lions) of the NFL have better rating numbers than Cowboys this year?

No chance. Not even close.

I think most levelheaded Cowboys fans saw this season coming a mile away!

I am not surprised at all.

I wanted them to tank this season and start rebuilding.

The 2 major problems with that scenario is that Jerry would be doing the rebuilding and Jerry extended Dak!

Its going to be a long road back to respectability!

Tank, lose on purpose. What kind of example does that set for the locker room, people who were trying to make a name for themselves. Never tank if you’re going to lose you lose. I can’t stand this mentality of lose purpose to get somewhere.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

What a bunch of losers, find new friends. Anybody who wants to lose is a loser. They don’t understand that will drive to Jerry deeper to his hold.

Ok WINNER..................oulalala...........I mean anyone who supports this circus and its clowns has WINNER written all over his face.

They aren't losing on purpose, they are losing because this is not a talented team, no matter how much Jerry Jones and ESPN tells you otherwise!

They need to restock this roster and by having low draft picks that gives you a better chance to rebuild.

I am sure the players and coaches are playing and coaching like their careers depend on it, which they do!

They just aren't good enough!

Turns out the GM of this team also loves a train wreck, even his own. Jerry eats this up.

Fans are just frustrated and want to see this team turn around quickly.

Their mentality is, if you ain't going to go to the playoffs, just lose out and get draft capital.

I am not saying it is right or wrong, this is just how some fans feel.

I still believe in Mr. cowboy, I’m military, I believe in the star and what it represents. This is America’s team that’s the future. You don’t have a future without a past. And I feel sorry for fans like you. Win or nothing, that’s not how the world spins. Nothing is handed to you. Unless you’re a millennium, lol

Look dude I have been a Cowboy fan "since day one." I go all the way back to 1960. I have seen them play in two NFL championship games, eight Super Bowls winning five. I have been in attendance at three to those SB. The Cowboys are almost as a big a part of my life is as my children. I am big supporter of my kids but when one goes off track I let them know about it. I criticize them and come down hard on them until they get back on the right track. I certainly do not enable their bad behavior. Folks like you are as much of the problem as Jerry Jones. You enable ineptness. I love the team and I want them to succeed.

 

[HungryLion]

I’m pretty close to joining that club

I’m
Not rooting against the cowboys. But I literally just don’t care right now.

I watched the eagles game this past weekend and had zero emotion. I was playing games on my phone half the time.

Zero excitement. Didn’t care if they won or lost. Nothing.

 

[Praxit]

....peoples hopes ride with Dallas winning. Dallas winning is positive domino affect.

Losing is as much concern as winning. Minds hinge on, "How does this team turn it around?" .

It makes for interesting story.

Even when the Dallas Cowboys are terrible, people still tune in to watch.

No team in the NFL moves the needle quite like the Dallas Cowboys and for that, you’ve got to give Jerry Jones credit.

Despite being one of the worst teams in the NFL so far this season, the Cowboys are still setting new viewing records. Even when they’re losing by nearly 30 points on national television. According to Sports Media Watch, the Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles game on Sunday had more viewers than it did during its national window last season during Week 10.

This year, the national broadcast had an 11.9 rating with 24.61 million viewers. That’s up from last year’s national broadcast which was on FOX between the New York Giants and Cowboys, which had an 11.0 rating with 21.73 million viewers.

The Dallas Cowboys are always relevant.

that is flawed, eagles are going to draw more than game with the giants.
Getting beat bad, will have its appeal, also seeing a different qb is interesting, but this may drop off after awhile.

Also ratings are just estimates.

 

[DoctorChicken]

They like seeing us lose because of all the overwhelming success we’ve had recently.

 

[DillusionalFans]

Already knew this. Same w/ Yanks and Lakers.

I wouldn’t put the Cowboys in the same league as the Yanks & Lakers. The “hate” for the Cowboys is due to Jerry Jones, whereas for the Yanks & Lakers it is because they have won in the last 30 years. The hate for the Patriots a few years ago was due to jealousy — NO ONE IS JEALOUS OF THE COWBOYS!!!

 

[DallasInDC]

Already knew this. Same w/ Yanks and Lakers.

Jerry realizes this as well...and once he figured that out, he knew he didn't have to be successful as GM to rake in the billions. His business model succeeds when the Cowboys succeed, and it succeeds when the cowboys fail.

Actually, people like you that are more of the problem

I understand that, but you lose all integrity, what about the players that are trying to make a living? Should they quit?

This is why they are America's Team. Everyone has interest in them.
