Normally failure creates change

For the 15th time in the last 26 seasons, our Dallas Cowboys will not be participants in the NFL playoffs. That means since 2000, we have made the playoffs 42% of the time. When we’ve made the playoffs, we’ve won a single wild card game 40% of the time. We can’t get better without first admitting we are not a very good football team. And it was obvious all year.

We are just a few weeks from the start of a very important off-season. An off-season where if this front office does not change its ways in acquiring more quality NFL talent, only a miracle from Lady Luck will prevent us from missing the playoffs again.

In short, if JJ and his sidekick son don’t change their ways, expect the same kind of season next year..

Before the off-season starts, we will be saturated with the usual sales job from our owner/GM, gaslighting us with the ridiculous statement that he is “surprised” we didn’t make the playoffs. Most Cowboys fans are not surprised.

And he will be thrilled when too many Cowboys fans will blame the HC, DC, the QB and whoever else can be thrown under the party bus.

My 9 year old granddaughter apparently has a better understanding of what this team is when she sweetly and accurately said to me while watching a recent game with me, “Papa the Cowboys just aren’t very good are they?” Out of the mouth of a 9 year old comes more truth than we will ever get from our 83 year old GM.

So unless Jerry and Giggles admit that their cheap ways of roster building without serious participation in FA doesn’t work, we will be here again next year. Or realizing that hiring coaches because they’re friends and they make you feel comfortable is not the way to win.

In normal organizations, failure creates change. Because without major changes in how this team is run, we should not expect changes in results.

I'm turning 33 next year. I haven't missed a game since I was 8 - it's been 25 years for me watching every single game since 2001.

I don't think this team will ever reach it's potential. I've soured throughout the years more and more - but these last 5 years were the worst.

Coming off 10 years straight of Jason Garrett I did have some hope we were hiring someone established in MM - although watching football for a long-time you could see why his tenure wrapped up in GB the way it did - lack of running the football and stale offense. Same thing happened here 3 years in, year 1 disaster - then (3) 12 win seasons but as we won 36 games, just like you can see this team cannot compete in the playoffs it was the same mirage with the 12 wins.

Everyone knew deep down inside we had 12 wins but we're not built physically enough to go on the road or win 3 games at home. So that whole tenure of MM was a facade. Worst defense in the NFL history during one of the years. Playoff embarrassments, the list goes on and on. Note that they have been the most undisciplined team in the NFL with penalties as well.

I did also buy into schotty and still do with his x-factor as his time in the game, connection with the youth and also his legendary father. He is an XO guy and is good at it - now you go and see how the FO pushed Flus on him - and you can see why this will never change. How they cannot tell that hiring your own coaches how Schotty did OC and OL coach is extremely beneficial for the staff. He had to baby-sit Flus for weeks - for no change in results. Unless this team fires the DC and gives this 1 HC the automony to do what he needs to do to win on both sides of the ball - I will turn 50 and likely see 5 more playoff wins amount for nothing in the next 17 years the way OP posted his stats.

I'm depressed.

True, but we don't have the playersto fit Flys scheme. The FO needs to decide, and windows is closing quickly, id rather they hire a DC suited to our teams current strengths rather than try and rebuild whole defense to meet an antiquated broken system.

IDK what to say other than we're screwed. My nephew lives in Michigan - I told him to just be a Lions fan and the last 3 years at least he's having a better football experience than me.

We went to the lions game a few weeks ago - he had gotten Rock Ya Sin's gloves and his Jared Goff poster signed by him. Kid had a sick experience, wish someone strayed me the right way a long-time ago.

I value your post.

And i know you know this. But there is no failure around valley ranch. In fact this business operates just the way the Joneses goals are.

I would appreciate more threads that acknowlege the Joneses real self i stead explaining how it should be done and where their failures are.

Accepting who the Joneses are would change peoples behaviour regarding this organisation ways quicker. And in the end that is the decicive factor if you want to have a change at all.

All the explanation about wrong approach and mistakes doesnt help squat if for the designated listener everything is well and ok.


You all should accept even if its really hard to do so that this business is not about football. In fact nobody in a decission making position there cares about that topic at all. And will never do unless he is forced to.

Well we had the highest rated game ever this year. So Jerry is winning in his mind.

Jerry will not view this as failure. He will view as if we had this roster at the beginning of the year we would be 11-3.

Jerry won’t view this as a failure because he had a documentary on Netflix. That type of exposure is why he bought the Cowboys. Winning at this point is an afterthought.

Highest rated game of all time.

Jerry views this years, hangin out at the rim in week 15, at 1% of making the playoffs a success.
 
Nothing changes until you vote with your wallet. As long as they sell merch and sell out the stadium, they won’t even entertain changes.

Ownership would consider this season to be another absolute slam dunk. Just like last season. They are succeeding in every metric they care about. Their metrics do not align with yours.

We certainly agree on that.

I have spent zero on the Cowboys for 5 years.

Used to go to a game once a year.

It’s been over a decade for me.
 
Unfortunately, nothing is going to change. This organization is rudderless, has no identity except for its distant past and absolutely zero vision about what it wants to be on the football field. Thanks Jerrah!

Yes.. Jerry talked about that didn't he.. getting rid of D co-ords too quickly.

What Jerry will do now.. is hang on to this one for too long..

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
