So tired

[Qbert]

22 years of mismanagement, bad coaches, bad personnel moves, 1 step forward then about a million back, it's sapped my fandom to a place I never thought I'd ever go, just really not caring anymore

This is the most honest post of the day so far.

One common denominator in those 22 years. Leadership.

I understand completely. There was a time were a loss like this would have set me off. Now its just another Sunday because I am conditioned to these sorts of performances.

Ever since Jimmy left it has just been one fiasco after another. We have become the Raiders and just like their fans we are left waiting for a change in ownership in hopes that the son is better than the father as the GM.

There was a time when we stunk because we didn't have a QB.

That hasn't been the problem. For a long while. And it still hasn't mattered.

I agree, so used to these losses, + the kneeling throughout the league where a loss like this which was painful for my eyes to take, has just become the norm and I realize it’s just a silly game.. Linehan and Garrett putting the ball in the air on 2nd and 1 and on 1st down, instead of making sure Rodgers had no time with our pathetic defense was beyond stupid.

I agree. I used to get angry when they lost. But the last couple of years it is just what it is. That is after 40 years of being a fan. We have gotten used to being a beaten down team that will lose when it matters most. How long has it been Jerry since we have had a back to back winning year. That is on your leadership team. What are you going to do to get to a point where you aren't a 500 team which we have been for a long time? We thought we were there last year but this year we are back to a losing team. We are tired of it!

It's starting to get hard to care when I see that coaching staff still out there. I think this team is talented, the coaches.... not so much.

Hang in there bro. Makes the winning that much more sweeter. Of, course I've been a fan a lot longer and got to enjoy the good times.

I used to not be able to sleep before a game, couldn't eat before or during because my stomach was in knots, then like others have said, if they lost I was miserable to be around til Wednesday. Now I'm over it already

Meh, you wanted a defensive overhaul then whine about the process of breaking them in. You wanted a new QB then whine that the old one is gone while the new one grows up. You wanted Free gone then whine that his replacement initially struggles.

You got what you wanted, now you get to wait for the young players to mature. This is what an overhaul looks like.

I'm where you are, Ranching! Been at it too long to give up!

Lol twok11, what the he1I is your point? Even with the personnel issues, we had that game won if we had coaches that had just a tiny bit of clock management when the game is on the line, instead of none at all..

 

[Zordon]

draft byron jones instead of landon collins.

draft jaylon smith instead of myles jack.

draft morris claiborne instead of michael brockers and bobby wagner.

draft randy gregory instead of frank clark.

refuse to spend any $$$ on quality defensive free agents like cliff avirl, brian orakpo, reggie nelson, zach brown, tj ward....

nope...just offense, offense, offense to help your trainee offensive-minded head coach not look like a fool.

i'm sick of it too. this defense is an embarrassment.

Me too brother... like I said in another thread I'm just apathetic to it all now.

There used to be a time when I would be in a funk for days after the Cowboys lost, now I just move on to something else.

I'm with you. I've been watching every game since just after our last SB win (i.e. never seen any actual success). 20+ years - 2 playoff wins and immeasurable heartbreak to go with it.

I'm considering taking a step back for a bit. It's just unhealthy to be so invested in something that has returned so little but negativity over such a long period of time.

That those complaining now will always complain no matter what.

They want the spoils without the effort.
