Our fanbase is too entitled

[Momanpr100]

To be brutally blunt this is a post a loser will make when he loses. It does not matter how often he loses he still thinks he is a winner.

You do realize we don't affect the outcomes of the games right? How are we losing lmao. I see it now, you are living vicariously through the players so you feel like a loser and come to project

 

[Momanpr100]

It seems like people don't understand the definition of ENTITLED. Cowboys fans looking remedial again

 

[Momanpr100]

While this is true, you also have to acknowledge that Dallas has now set the all time record for most consecutive divisional round losses and most consecutive playoff appearances without reaching a Conference Championship game...so we are setting the bar for playoff failure even though we don't currently have the longest championship drought.

You're setting an imaginary bar

Aren't you embarrassed trying to be this clever to take a shot at Dak?

After seeing the two noodle arms play against Seattle's developmental players, Cowboys fans better pray nothing happens to Dak. Last year was a fluke with Rush.

Actually I think entitled isn't a strong enough word. i read some of the comments and the word crybaby comes to mind. Wondering how awesome it would be if the moderators could trade some of these safe space crybabies to the Eagles forum.

We have no patience to let players just develop anymore. Players like Parsons, Tyler, Diggs, Dak, Zeke, etc that were immediately great players have skewed peoples perception of what a rookie development looks like. Settle down and let players develop.

thanks Dad

Posts like this are so distanced from reality. 30 years between championships is nothing in professional sports.

Chiefs - 50 years
Patriots - 40 years
Jets - 50 years (current)
Packers - 29 years
Steelers - 29 years
49ers - 28 years (current)
Dolphins - 51 years (current)

And that's not counting the dozen or so teams to have never won one.

To think that Cowboys fans "deserve" more than what has occurred is ridiculous lol.

All, Steeler fan here. New to the board. I swear I am not coming to troll or be a jerk. I only joined to talk football. I like Micah (PA guy) plus I think he is smart and a great player. So when I saw him on a draft show he discussed how he wanted Mazi. I knew nothing about Mazi so this has led to me following the Cowboys a little this summer (but not real close). I originally came to talk about the Mazi debate to see if he really is doing as poorly as I am hearing or is just a work in progress. Judging from your front page...I see that is still a highly debated topic so I guess I won't really get a consensus answer on that right now.

But i did see this post and I can't help but wonder if you are talking about Championship appearances or wins. Our win drought since the merger was 26 years not 29(1979 - 2005) which I still think serves your main point but it was slightly incorrect. In terms of appearances we have droughts of:

* 16 years (1979 - 1995)
* 10 years (1995 - 2005)
* 3 years (2005 - 2008)
* 2 years (2008 - 2010)
* 13 years (2010 - 2023)

And you better believe that we, as a fanbase, feel like we need to be getting back to our championship ways. I love Tomlin. He's managed us through some real challenging and unique situations over the years so patience was needed. But now is time to get back to winning some playoff games and getting back to the dance.
As Cowboys fans, I can't tell you guys how to feel but "entitled" is not necessarily a bad thing. Our 13 years feel like an eternity especially when we haven't even been in the AFC Championship since 2016. 7 years is a long time. We need to be back in the thick of things. So I don't blame you guys if you pressure your front office for better results.

Most of us have been patiently waiting for over 25 years.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

There are 32 teams in the NFL. Everything else being equal, you should expect a championship every 32 years.

Entitled is definitely the right word. This is why you do not spoil children because most will expect the same for the rest of their lives.

It has been 28 years.

Every team you listed has been to a more recent conference title game than the Cowboys except for the Dolphins.

Excusing bad with examples of other bad is poor reasoning. You don't win championships excusing failure.

Demand excellence.

Lol.

Why the heck should we?

Stephen Jones is entitled. Cowboys fans are trapped. It is hard to come to grips with the fact that you are cheering for a team that is run by an incompetent dictatorship. You realize that there is no possibility of change. The cycle will continue for eternity. Pretty depressing.

 

[MyFairLady]

Win a superbowl every 32 years. Play in a super bowl every 16 years. Play in a conference championship game every 8 years. These are the goals of an average NFL team. Our management has fallen so far short of these goals we will soon be threatening historic levels of failure. Not to worry though. I am sure the senile drunken child molesting clown that runs the show is gonna turn things around any day now.

If the Dallas Cowboys had a board of directors they would have voted the drunken clown show out of power 15 years ago. It has gone on for so long now that no one even seems to care. Stephen will take over and the cycle will be unending. I am far to old and have far too many good memories to ever jump ship but I will call them out for what they are. An absolute joke and a disaster.

"Our fanbase is too entitled"

I agree, particularly at the QB position. This is not specifically a defense of Dak, but more a general observation that anyone outside of Staubach and Aikman are constantly debated and often belittled. Comparing Dallas QBs to most other NFL franchises shows the team has had very good to great QB play most of its life, with a few really bad years mixed in here and there.

Very true. Since the beginning I would challenge anyone to show a team with more consistently good to excellent QB play then the Cowboys.

Losers always have an excuse. Go root for the Browns, they are exactly what you want.

ITs called expecting excellence and not accepting less. That is what a Cowboy fan should expect and if you want to call that entitled then go root for the browns as well.

Every team's fans are at least entitled to a GM with the commitment and singular focus of building a championship team as opposed to one that treats the position like a part time job.
