CFZ My Opinion about "27 years"

[CCBoy]

I'm still glad I've been a Cowboys fan since their birth and can still share with true fans as well!

I feel the OP has a point. I’m one of the guys that complains about the 27 years pretty often. I own that. Here’s how I look at it. The post Aikman years really shouldn’t be held against Jerry due to every team struggles when losing a franchise QB, especially a HOF QB. What I’m resentful about is from Romo till now. The Romo years we had good rosters, and the Dak years we’ve had good rosters. So what’s the problem. My opinion the problem is culture and responsibility. In the last 15 or 20 years it seemed like the team played to the personality of Jerry. Just happy to be famous and rich. If we win then great but if we lose then we’re still famous and rich so who cares. That’s my frustration.

This year is the first year I’ve been excited about in a while because of Micah Parsons. His mentality is I want to be the best. I’m hoping this team takes on that personality. Just like the teams in the 90’s took on the personalities of Aikman, Irvin, Emmitt, Haley and Woodson.

Dependable at playing to standard always, was the problem.

As to Jerry not committed to being a winner...that is so completely wrong with this man.

.

We missed something here...

 

[CCBoy]

Sure , but we haven’t been that franchise for decades . Only in name .

In the Army, it took us 10 years to completely rework the NCO Corp. Redone from top to bottom. Some only wanted to go to war and kill. That changed.

27 years

Someone must have another 27 years to spare. I do not.

I hope one didn't have children, but if there were, I hope they were the smartest, biggest, fastest and most competitive in the school environment, because your knowledge of achieving here would have punished them instead.

Fan of sport...naw. Not in the same sentence here.

I take it your a fan of Garrett's?

No team can go backwards, and rectify their past performances. The best they can do is prepare for the season ahead of them, and then proceed to play as well as they possibly can. Also, since the real issue with the Cowboys is the lack of playoff success over the past 27 seasons from 1996 - 2022, the reality is that not a single team can address past "playoff failures" until January at the earliest. So, if this were MY forum (which admittedly it is not), I would ban any comments about the 27 years of playoff failures during the season, and only allow such comments once the playoffs start - or after the Cowboys are eliminated from contention to make the playoffs.

There is simply no way to "argue" against the "27 years of playoff failures" while the season is in play, and certainly not at the beginning of the season. Arguments about "27 years" are a complete waste of everyone's time. It's like listening to your wife complain about her mother. There isn't a dang thing you can do about it, and it is beyond tedious to have to listen to that crap. Well I'm not married to any of you, and I don't have to put up with it. I'm aware of the issue, and don't need to talk about it. If "27 years" bothers you so much, I invite you to "divorce" the Cowboys so you can find a new team to love.

So, my personal policy henceforth this season will to be to place any and all forum members who want to argue about "27 years", no matter which side of the argument you happen to be on, in my personal ignore list. Reading people who "defend" the Cowboys for 27 years of fruitless efforts is just as tedious as reading the insulting comments. It just isn't worth my time and frustration to even read those comments.

I would encourage other Cowboys fans who are as disgusted with fruitless arguments and endless complaining to do the same. Maybe, if we all ignored those members who INSIST on bringing up "27 years", they'd get the message and just stop. If not, let them be their own echo chamber. Leave those of us who want to look forward alone, and let us enjoy the upcoming season, win or lose, without the noise or negativity.

You will never win this. How about you just accept it and move on?

The Chicago Cubs went 108 years without a championship, fans brought it up all the time, and no one ever told them to shut up and just move on like you are trying to tell us to do.

Until we break through we are what we are. And the pressure is twice as high for our players in the playoffs because of the last 27 years.

I bring up the 27 years because you don't get to two decades of playoff failures, without noticing it comes down to a culture of losing.

Why? A convenient stereotype?

Leave if that was your only response over a lengthy period of time. You been a fan for your stated 27 years?

 

[Hardline]

The 27 year drought IS the Dallas Cowboys. It’s what defines them at this point. Embrace it.

Until they win a Super Bowl that yearly drought number increases. And that will be what defines them.

Time to pop the top on an ice cold Budweiser. Back to you Steve.

He didn't recognize the Cowboys aren't Chicago where the Mafia dominated the whole city previously. Recognize the word Gambinos? The President was shot in Dallas...when we got the Cowboys. We all have moved on.

 

[Captain-Crash]

This is the same guy who said he was through with the Cowboys when they all got weak-kneed at mid-field. Can I get an ignore?

 

[Mannix]

More than one third of the league has never won a Super Bowl.
