So tired of these terrrible offseasons

[Gameover]

I hate Cowboys fans

And outsiders love to slap us with the 'delusional' tag. They need to visit this site because there is little delusion around here, certainly not about Cowboys success

13-3

 

[Gameover]

we just went 13-3 last season. That's including those suspensions and injuries.

Let him wallow

He's numbing himself just in case the season goes bad, and he can look back and tell everybody he told us so.

Again, show me the report that shows Cowboys at the middle of the pack. You cant, because it doenst exist. Its not a matter of getting suspensions, its a matter of how many each year happen to the Cowboy more then most other teams. Its an alarming number. But again, you accept that as par for the course then I have to question your standards.

While Garrett and the Cowboys are worrying about suspensions, the Patriots are laughing at the league wracking up Lambardi's.

So you show me the list that says we are near the top of the league in suspensions. You can't because it doesn't exist. Just because you SAY that is the case doesn't make it so. You keep comparing us to the one team that is above EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE way to go out on a limb there. And it's funny that they also deal with multiple suspensions themselves for cheating and drugs including losing TOM BRADY FOR 4 GAMES LAST YEAR but you somehow seem to continually gloss over that fact. Cherry picking at it's finest

You were proven to be wrong and are still tap dancing around and trying to stick to your argument

Agree to disagree. Not tap dancing, we have had suspensions that have impacted our team more than other contenders. No one has provided any "proof" that other teams have lost the equivalent of their 3 best edge defenders in back to back seasons (not even counting the Greg Hardy suspension or the Orlando Scandrick suspension). You can give me Latroy Guion, John Jolly, Datone Jones all you want. It's not the same.

So again you change the argument? First it was we get more suspensions than everyone else, then it was that the guys other teams lose are nobodies, now you wanna change it to specify edge defenders? Come on now man you reaching but okay you got it.

I don't blame any Cowboy fan from being upset. I find it funny Jerry and Jason do not hold players accountable? Heck add fans to that. People make excuses for the action of players on one hand yet point their finger at management and coaches when said player screws up. Dallas will have to overcome this but sad thing is they should not have to overcome stupidity. Cowboys can't do much about a player missing time due to injury it will happen but year after year of losing players because they are not smart enough to figure out they will be tested is frustrating. These men are paid as professional and it damn time they start acting like a professional.

I am so angry. Yet another offseason gut punch. Our best pass-rushing lineman (and my pet cat for breakout player) to miss the first four games, including the key division opener against the NYG. And Zeke investigation still looms... Year to year, it is so difficult to get excited over this team, just knowing in the pit of your stomach, that something bad always awaits. Last year alone: Randy Gregory suspension, Demarcus Lawrence suspension, Charles Tapper undisclosed, season-ending injury, Kellen Moore season-ending injury, Tony Romo season-ending injury, Zeke investigation. All before the first game... I am so tired of these terrible offseasons. Maybe it's the high-profile nature of the team, but I really don't see other teams losing as many players as us, year-to-year. I'm just sick, tired, and angry.

"Equivalent" of best 3 edge defenders. Reading is fundamental, my man.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

And the hits keep on coming...

 

[jobberone]

People take supplements and occasionally they will trip a test. Doesn't mean the player is stupid. It's case by case. Of course they might know better.

Lawrence Gregory and now Irving not a single one of them are world beaters. All banking on potential. So our "best" pass rushers are below other teams bests my man.

Last year's off-season was one of the best, maybe the best in the Post-Jimmy era.

As I mentioned to another poster, I'm just referring to the conduct of players already on the team, not the rookies we drafted.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Only have a 2nd string DE suspended. The Injuries haven't really even happened yet. Calm down lol

It is frustrating, but many teams have these issues and some teams have severe injury issues in the preseason which is the same net effect as being out for conduct issues.

Last year they got fined $250k for having 3 guys suspended in one year. Only the Seahawks have received that same fine. They are also known throughout the NFL for it. You can also just watch the Cowboys every year and see the suspensions. As far as a list, you are correct, I have not been able to find one. That is why you telling me that they are middle of the pack is laughable. Its quite clear from the evidence they are major offenders. NO list is needed.

As far as the Patriots, a couple things. Tom Brady getting suspended for inflating a ball a little is dumb. Your are talking about the most successful franchise and player in the NFL. No comparison to the Cowboys and their laughable 20 year run. And by the way the Patriots in comparison to the Cowboys with suspensions isnt even close. And what did the Patriots do when that DE kept getting into trouble a few years back? They cut him. They get rid of headaches while the Cowboys continue to draft and, keep them on the squad, and dont hold them accountable. And then of course there is the winning vs the losing. Comparing the patriots is laughable and silly.

Agreed. But its amazing because some on here keep referring to Irving as a breakout DE, and Lawrence was the same a few years back. Overzealous types wanting to over inflate the defense until the proof is in the pudding.

It was. Even on the injury front, we somehow overcame them.

Makes the regret about last year all the more painful is that it was a golden opportunity that was wasted with a one and done.
