Never been this disengaged with the Cowboys during a season

[FaSho]

Right there with you, sadly.

I think the biggest issue is there seems to be no sense of urgency anywhere in the Cowboys organization.

Ownership doesn't seem concerned which means the rest of the front office is not concerned.

The coaches don't seem concerned (what happened to angry Zimmer?). I don't know if that's because McCarthy assumed he was gone when he didn't get a contract extension last season or he simply realizes no one above him cares about winning as much as he assumingly does.

The players don't seem concerned, which is really disappointing as a fan. This is especially true with players who got their money.

Where are the players angrily stating, "We need to fix this now!"? Instead, we get, "It's all good. We will figure it out eventually" types of comments.

It just seems like the only people that care that the Cowboys are playing poorly are some of the Cowboys fans, and even the number of upset fans is declining as more fans are becoming more apathetic to the losses.

The only thing I will challenge here is ownership not being concerned. I think Jerry is panicking because the dude seems way more unhinged than ever. He’s just clueless as to what to do. I think his original plan was to not resign Dak and not resign McCarthy and to make them “earn it” and use their contract status as motivation. And then he blinked on Dak at the last minute and now everything is falling apart and he’s regretting a lot of his decisions.

Honestly, Jerry Jones has made me become disinterested in my favorite team.

I don't even know who's not practicing this week.

Is Micah?

It doesn't even matter.

I already know the 49ers are going to destroy us because they have something called scheme and creativity on offense.

McCarthy's idea of a scheme is to have all the Receivers run 7 yard curl routes.

Jerry Jones is losing me as a fan.

When someone asks me now if the Cowboys are playing, I say, "Who cares"

Just see if they actually want to play hard and coach on Sundays. If they don't care, don't you care all week until they show something in a game.

100% false. This whole "you commented so you care". I enjoy talking sports in general. I am 100% apathetic to this Dallas team. Do I want them to win? Sure. Does it bother me anymore they don't? Not really, it's now expected.

I’m 100% correct. The OP isn’t talking sports in general, he’s talking Cowboys, a team he claims his disinterested in. There’s other forums here to talk sports in general. If you don’t care about something and have lost interest, you stop talking about it. It’s like a guy saying they don’t care about a girl anymore but you know they do because they keep talking about them. Everyone who comes to this forum and contributes or reads has an interest in how the Cowboys are doing or they wouldn’t be here. Being a fan of a team is an addiction that’s hard to break. When things are going bad for the Cowboys you wish you could find something else better to do than get frustrated over the team, but you can’t. You wish you could get out, but you’re in too deep especially if you’ve been following the team a long time. The Cowboys are way of life for a lot of fans.

When the owner is more worried about his actions being questioned by the media than actually admiting that the results so far are disappointing and that they need to do a better job, I see no accountability whatsoever from him which to me means there is no sense of urgency with him or the front office.

I said during the off-season the Cowboys would likely use 2024 as a reset year and that's what they have done.

At some point, the Cowboys will stop getting Game of the Week and prime time games, and when that happens, maybe .. and that's still a big maybe .. Jerry will start to care about winning again.

 

[Shinaoi]

Jerry has just take all the fun out of this team. It’s way deeper than winning and losing, the process is completely broken. Should I have faith he’ll bring in a real coaching staff when he hasn’t done that in 20 years? Stephen doesn’t inspire me either.

Get used to it.....

This is a throw away year, for the jones boys. They dont care about this season.
They may want it to be bad so they can not get any backlash from firing McCarthy who up till now had 3 12-5 seasons in a row.
I think that is main reason they didnt fire him after GB game.

Also it seems they are making it hard for MM to have a good season this season with everything they did and didnt do.
Also if cowboys finish with bad record, that means higher draft picks for for 25.

the no spend this year is I think mainly to make it easy to sign micah for 40-45 mil lol
Will they buy some good FA ?? ........I doubt it lol.
Will they get a good new HC, I doubt it lol.

The focus is for 2025, and this year they dont care what happens..... or about the fans that waited all off season for this mess.

 

[DanTanna]

I'm the same - don't really care what happens to Jerry's Cowboys. These aren't my DALLAS Cowboys!

Jerry has that effect on many of us. This team is like a slow motion train wreck that never reaches its end.

 

[oldcorvetteguy]

Lucky you’re not near old enough to remember the 88 and 89 season. The Cowboys won only 4 games in two seasons. You fans who come claiming you don’t care anymore about how the team is playing are just lying to yourselves or you wouldn’t be posting about the team.

During that time, I wore a Cowboy tee shirt into a store. A guy asked me why I was wearing it. I told him they are my team. He told me that he was going to start wearing his. But that was before Jerry and Son started saving money.

I’ve never felt less about the games. It’s sad we’ve been driven to this, but when ownership is basically openly admitting they don’t care to win, I start to not care altogether.

 

[LonnieElam]

Same. I went to the Mavs game tonight. I had more fun at that than any Cowboys game in a long time.

 

[noshame]

While I'm not a fan of McCarthy, however he never had Aaron Rodgers running 7 yd curl routes. His offense is limited by this quarterback. As was Kellen Moore, and Scott Linehan.
Even Jerry is aware, which is why I cannot understand why he offered this contract, it made no sense at the time, and will make less by seasons end.

I can't help but think Jerry has some large plan, so I'm just watching this season play out.

So for now, I'm taking the Morpheus approach, the answers are coming.

You and me both.
Actually quite a few on here....

 

[cowboyed]

Frustrated fans and cynical media rightfully used to mock Garrett with his "it's a process" comments and the team and coaches have resurrected that modus operandi (MO) even more gloriously with "trust the process" comments. There is no football pulse in those trite responses. Pathetic.

If fans aren't interested, why do they keep talking about them? What am I missing?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

It’s funny that the loudest “Resign Dak! We’re nothing without Dak” crowd are all giving up lolololololol

 

[zrinkill]

The OP is shameless.

2 months ago he starts this thread

Calling out this "fanbase", How can so many of you, who call yourselves Cowboys fans, be filled with doubt and negativity about this team?

And now he is crying?

What an absolute hypocrite.
