So we have the worst case scenario

[ICP]

Very true, I will always remember Irvan saying he couldn't believe when Landry told the team let's go out there and try not to get embarrassed. Maybe not an exact quote but close enough

This is a dark day for you? Where the hell have you been for the last 30 years bro?

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

...don't know what your seeing. We're still 5X SB champs.
It's been a while. But facts are facts.

Which doesn't mean anything to any fan under the age of 35 or so, that's also a fact.

.. that is indeed, Sad fact.

 

[infamousstyles]

Jerry has some nerve comparing us to KC. He's completely delusional.

Bless your heart.

So the moral to the story is that teams that are well run and emphasize winning do so, while the ones that emphasize making money and personal comfort don't. Who knew?

Shocking isn't it?

So we have the worst case scenario

Lose lose

KC gets 3 in a row

Or

Philly gets their 2nd

Either way a dark day for cowboys fans

This entire season has been worst case scenario lol

 

[john van brocklin]

The dark days started when se resigned our QB instead of doing a total rebuild

They actually started 29 years ago.
We just did not know how bad it would be.

Dark days started in March 1994.

I have no problem with the chiefs.
Just don't want the egirls anywhere near the Lombardi.
If the Cowboys are not serious about winning at least I don't want our rivals prospering.

It's not all about making money. We don't have the ability or expertise to do what Philly and KC are doing. So, it's not like we have that option. Even if Jerry and his boy decided to max out the cap for the next 3 years, they wouldn't know who to sign or acquire via trade.

I’m kind of bummed the Chiefs will get 3 in a row. Getting 3 in a row was something I hoped would never happen. I hoped we would get it. We almost had it in the 90’s but Jerry and Jimmy happened. I always wanted Dallas to get that piece of history or have no one get it.

But if the owner doesn’t care about legacy than why should I. 10 years ago I would be pretty upset right now but whatever. Jerry doesn’t care about history, winning or even competing at this point so I’d rather have the Chiefs make history than the 49ers, Steelers or Patriots. Actually there’s a part of me that is thinking if they threepeat then I hope they get 4 or 5 in a row. I would want them to be outsell us in merch and become America’s team. Maybe that would wake Jerry up. If everyone was obsessed with loving or hating the Chiefs and this put the Cowboys on back burner then great. That’s what the Jones deserve.

This has been a very demoralizing weekend of football and my 50 years of being a fan has taken a serious hit. I haven’t felt this low about the Cowboys and the NFL in probably 40 years. This is 1980’s low.

As a Cowboys fan for over 50 years I’ve lived through the late 70’s, the decade of depression of the 1980’s, the rise in the 90’s and the continued fall since then. I can say without hesitation that Jerry Jones is the worst thing to ever happen to the Cowboys. Jimmy Johnson was the best thing to happen to us and we won off the program he built. But Jerry Jones destroyed that program and we’ve never recovered and it’s been 3 decades of depression. So for that my opinion is Jerry Jones is the worst thing to ever happen to this franchise and a curse to the fans. I just wish the curse could be broken. We don’t deserve this.

I was pulling for the Bills last night. I have much admiration for Josh Allen who is deserving of at least a SB appearance. Unfortunately his legacy may go down as the QB who likely would have won 2 or 3 Super Bowls were it not for Maholmes and the Chiefs. As for the Cowboys, it's interesting that you point out that the 1980's was a decade of depression, which I can understand given your 50 years of being a fan and seeing them win in the 1970's with Roger. I actually became a Cowboys fan at the start of that decade and to this day some of my favorite all-time Cowboys played during those years (Tony Dorsett, Tony Hill, Randy White, Ed Jones, Everson Walls, Drew Pearson). Then I got to experience the sweet taste of championship success in the first half of the 1990's with Jimmy and the triplets. My decade - or rather decades - of despair has been the 30 years post-Jimmy.

You are right that Jerry and son has destroyed this franchise. I listened to Michael Irvin's rant, tirade, impassioned speech, he made the other day and I agree with him that the Dallas Cowboys are quickly losing the reputation of being one of the most storied franchises in NFL history. Today, I feel that the NFL broadcasts Cowboys games solely so that the rest of the country can laugh at us.

KC all the way

As soon as Philly won i was rooting for KC

Not to worry, Jerry's Empire is going to come crashing down this season. You can take that to the bank.

Truth, they just don't have the know how to be good GMs.
They can't even get the HC hires correct which is the main reason we have sucked for 29 years.

Does it matter? It was going to be the Eagles or the Commanders against the Chiefs. The Eagles proved they are the better team. It might have been Detroit had they not had so many injuries on defense - and that's the thing to remember.

Dallas has to pass so many teams to get back t the Super Bowl including the Commanders, Eagles, Lions, Rams, etc. They have a long way to go. Sure the Commanders did it in 1 off-season, but they signed 20 free agents and drafted the best QB to come out of college in a few years. The Cowboys are not signing 20 free agents over the next 5 years let alone doing it in 1 year.

If we are already in the Stephen Jones era, as some people in Dallas claim, then we have little hope for some time.

Once upon a time colleges prided themselves on how many people they could fail out. They had years to weed out people. If you got a degree it was because you were top of the line. Then they realized that they were losing lots of money by weeding out people. The money was still green, and they really didn't care anymore as long as the money was coming in and they were growing. College degrees have become an expense that many have difficulty overcoming, and the last few businesses I have worked for over the last 20 years could care less what degree you have earned or from what university. Promotions and money are not given due to merit or education or experience. The college degree is basically worthless or often a liability.

Welcome to todays NFL. Merit isn't rewarded. Entertainment and dollars are justified by owners and players alike. No more basic "war with rules" between men. Nope, let's manipulate and get a bigger audience. I understand because if I were the owner, I would do what it takes to make more money. I would control all I could, including rules, officiating, outcomes, etc. Most of you would too, if you owned any business. Swifties enlarge the pool of incoming money. Rules that keep players from getting injured help the bottom dollar. Gambling on games helps justify the obvious seen that happens in games. More people means more dollars. Enlarge your demographics.

Why would Jerry or Stephen Jones care one iota about what fans think, see or do, as long as they keep making the money? Jerry/Stephen know its good to be the king of the NFL, and they have no reason at this time to change.

Welcome to todays NFL.

Just to be honest, this board is WAY more entertaining to me than the NFL anymore, that is why I keep coming back here. It has already been proven to me that it is no longer sports, but business and entertainment. Until the NIL I watched college, now I don't understand why every player doesn't go into the transfer portal every year (they can always remove themselves if their current team pays enough). They are just minor league teams now with no real reason to get any education outside of football if they are going to profit as much as possible. (Dang the NFL is good at getting others to do their work at no cost). The owners are geniuses at business and marketing and making money -- even if many are horrid at football and are horrid people overall.

So does it really matter if the Swifites win or the gamblers (underdogs) win this year -- fans lose either way with the degradation of the "sport"?
