Just done with Football

[SoBlue128]

Losing always sucks and this year will sting a little bit more because how good this team looked early on. I’ll be back next year as will most of you. It was an emotional rollercoaster ride this year which can be exhausting so take your time away from the boards and all Cowboys related info for the time being if you feel you just. Do this and once free agency and the then the draft rolls around you will be ready for the fun to begin all over again. Hang in there Cowboys Nation!

I think I’m done. It’s just too much, year in and year out. There’s no fun in it anymore. I can’t become a fan of another team, but this team YEAR AFTER YEAR fails. It’s tiring. It’s just not worth it. Constant failure. Doesn’t matter if you believe it’s the refs, ownership, coaching, players, whatever. Just consistent, constant failure. It’s like being a fan of the Lions. Except worse because the team hypes up our expectations during the regular season (which we shouldn’t fall for anymore).

At least your favorite team is still in. At least for one more game

Just Trade Dak for Russel Wilson.

Yeah, except the Seahawks are much too smart for that

No trade clause in his contract is where I feel the cowboys got screwed more than his salary.

The players want to win but don’t really care if they lose. There is too much money involved even for the average players. As long as the checks cash is their main concern. Prime example is Stephon Diggs being at game one week from their next playoff game during the “pandemic”. There is lots of other examples but that is just the first one I thought of.

Yup....time to go build an ark.

 

[Jipper]

Waking up this am there is a lot of truth to this...the regular season wins have become meaningless, and the playoff wins have become unobtainable....kinda feels like what's the point?

 

[ShortRound]

The older I get the more precious my time is. I need to spend it more with my family. This is starting the feel like a waste.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

I said this elsewhere. But I’ve been a fan for 40+ years. Went to the Super Bowls in the 90s. But because of the recent history of this team, I just don’t watch the games live anymore (just watch replays of wins without commercials). I get 3 hours of my Sundays back, lowers my blood pressure, and allows me to remain a fan. Otherwise it’s just the definition of insanity to let this team ruin my Sundays over and over, especially during the playoffs.

 

[Starforever]

This is just a mentality weak team. The qb hands the ball to the center and not the ref first?….weak

The ref only needs to touch the ball, he doesn't have to place it.

 

[lukemartin79]

What Trent was doing was not a false start (at least the ones that Gregory kept jumping off for were not). You are allowed to move (hence why Centers are always bobbing there heads) but are not allowed to make twitching motion that could be construed as well starting the play.

Very well said - so true. Every year they have us believing in them at the end, and they don't show up. Doesn't matter the coaches name or the names on the back of the jerseys- the results will always be the same. I agree, at least LIONS fans don't get the expectations up, only to be let down. Great post AmariChill

 

[chagus]

I can agree with you but i also blame myself. I, like most of you, already KNEW this was a "one and done" team especially after the loss to Cards.

But... i had hope. I thought "what if" only to be let down YET AGAIN.

What a sucker i am.
WE ALL ARE.

 

[Section446]

I was there 10 years ago, I used to get so mad when they'd lose, so happy when they'd win... Now, I'm void of emotion and I just accept them for what/who they are... a piece of **** organization.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I feel the exact same way. 25+ years of this. I'm tired of it. I'm exhausted. I can't keep defending this team when they're clearly never gonna win. I wish I could have my memory erased and forget I was a Cowboys fan. Head injury anyone?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I would join you but I get bored. Ah..I need a hobby, besides playing skin flute.

There's always being a furry.

The ref only needs to touch the ball, he doesn't have to place it.

agree,,,,,so why not look to hand it to the ref first instead of handing it to the center instead and lining up ready to snap?……it was a brain fart of epic proportion’s

Oh, I agree. I am surprised that Dak didn't try to run over the whole defense.

Yup, I was thinking we might win towards the end. Yet, it was the same old story.

 

[ksadler1]

I took the year off last year, l can't say why on here, but it did me a world of good and helped me get through this year. I just don't take it so seriously anymore. Quit buying Cowboys merchandise years ago...
