With you on the bottom line thing, but I’m not even asking for that much.Well said. And I believe in being loyal as a fan. I’ve seen Cowboys home games in the Cotton Bowl, TX Stadium and the Deathstar. So I’ve stuck around for it all and still remain someone who wants the Cowboys to win, especially a championship. That will ALWAYS be the bottom line for me.
But I completely understand why any fan of this team is tired of being asked to be patient. Thirty years is a long time to watch the same guy - now the oldest GM in NFL history - be incapable of building a roster that can even win a divisional playoff game.
I can appreciate the fans perspective who wave Pom-poms and see green grass every season. That’s their right. But I don’t appreciate any fan telling another fan that cheerleading and blind homer-ism is the only acceptable way to be a Cowboys fan.
There’s a BIG difference between being good enough to win it all but just getting beat in a given year, and not being good enough to begin with.
Take a team like Buffalo in recent years. SF also. Those teams were well good enough to be champions but luck or the big breaks werent with them.
The kid thinks that’s what’s happened to his team, when realistically they weren’t good enough. Couldn’t stop the run. QB play was lacking at times.
If we could get to where we were CLOSE, as in some CG appearances, maybe a SB loss once every decade…I mean, having a REAL shot and knowing it, but we lost….then oh well. I wouldn’t complain so much.
But this franchise loses the same way with the same people doing the same thing over and over….and they are nowhere near the point of it being in the hands of “luck” and they either cannot or refuse to see that.
