And then there are the fans that just are not happy with anything.
To be fair, we have higher expectations than the Cleveland Browns. However, my daughters (who are in their 20's now) have never seen this team do anything special. In my case, it's not that I am not happy with anything, I just don't expect this team to actually do anything. I cheer them on but I deal in patterns and this team has a very long pattern of mediocrity so when the playoff game ends and we've lost again, I just sip my old fashioned and clean my Harley waiting for the snow to melt so I can get on the road.

What about 10 to 14? lol Garrett and Phillips both should’ve been fired the day after the Minnesota playoff game embarrassment. These coaches are not even close to the same thing.

4-12 in 2015
Yeah, whatever.
Your boy had his hand picked DC alongside him too upon being hired too. How did that Nolan guy work out again? And dont get it twisted, yes McCarthy still wanted to keep Nolan
It's a coordinator coached team of which McCarthy has absolutely no say in defensive game day input and none prior to scapegoating Moore out of his job.
Good luck with both this coach and QB.

I'll continue to root for the helmet and colors.

They started that cycle of multi firsts by dealing their terrible QB for a haul.

When was the last time we traded a player for a premium pick? That doesn’t happen here.

I didn’t hurt them that the Saints were willing to trade a future first to get a DB while not having a QB. Lucky it wasn’t higher.
that was such a weird and awful trade

Garrett did exactly the same from 2014 to 2016 as McCarthy from 2020 to 2022. Substitute Garrett's 2015 of losing his starting QB for McCarthys 2020 of losing his.

Same results.

And NO,
I'm not a Garrett guy.
I just don't like McCarthy either, so there's that.
I actually think MM is a good coach but if he lasts as long with the Cowboys as JG did w/o making it to the conference championship I'll have to agree with you. I almost don't count MM's first season coming in new to the organization with no training camp due the health issues at the time. But that's just my opinion and admittedly a little subjective.

From 2011 to 2013, Garrett had three straight 8–8 seasons, losing in the last game each season to NFC East division rivals New York Giants, Washington Commanders, and Philadelphia Eagles to miss the division championship and the playoffs each time.

30 years of nothing and you're supporting this figure head saying "it's the penalty of being good"? lol

Where is all that "good"?

Will McClay has seen us win 4 Wild Card games in his career. That's it. You shouldn't let this dude act like we're just too darn good to get better.
surely you understand it means the penalty of drafting late. They very rarely draft high enough to get their pick of the litter. it just is what it is.

you will clutch on to anything to complain

He still failed overall, 10 years....MM has not looked as bad in his 3 years. They were heading the right direction until Dak went down.
Garrett had up and down years, and yes romo was injured some of those. But it is obvious MM is so much better.

Garrett still did not follow up on 2017 to 2019 to improve. Yeah won playoff game in 2019, then 8-8 the next season.
He had 4 seasons of 8-8 records, 3 in a row, all win and in games and failed every time.
It's gonna be a cold hard reality check for a whole lotta you current HC supporters when the onfield results remain the same or regress.
I'll still be right here supporting regardless and will show my integrity to your group with my standard "gotta give credit where credit is due" post that I use to acknowledge another person's opinion being right when mine may have differed. I just wonder how many pro McCarthy guys will show that same type of honor if/when this thing takes a nosedive.

Slim and None.
And more likely none.

And yeah Garrett sucks too.

It’s worth noting Wentz forced their hand to trade him. Colts then had a chance to keep their first rounder by sitting Wentz and didn’t have the balls to do it. Just dumb.

Oh poor baby…..when he said the penalty of being good he meant having a good record which means having bad picks. Did you go to school in DISD?

Is there a pro McCarthy group? Thought most are just happy we got better than Garrett.

We're just too good to do anything to get better.

Yeah I know the Eagles drafted in the top 10 after going to the Super Bowl, but that's not us!

In McClay we trust!

Meanwhile the Eagles are drafting in the top 10 a year after going to the Super Bowl.

McClay says so.

I wonder if parting Kellens departure is he’s a little jealous of all that Quinn has done and thinks he can shine too as a coordinator here.

Quinn is out here turning down jobs to be a NFL HC.

That has to put pressure on him.

Especially when Dak is regressing and our offense no shows in the playoffs and loses to a 7th round QB.

Sounds like you’re not rooting for anything. If you don’t want to see the difference in this team and roster after just 3 seasons, it will never get any better for you! Good team, very good roster, much smarter offseason decisions, no stupid trades or trade ups, dropping dead weight and getting a handle on the cap. Keep winning keep getting in. That’s what the great teams of the past did.

Moore wasn’t a scapegoat. How could keeping the offense exactly the same be helpful? Change was long overdue.

Nolan? Come on! The D Garrett left behind played no part in how bad they sucked? Garrett and Marinelli were an even bigger joke.

It’s all conjecture…Kincaid would have been a natural Schultz replacement and given Dak a big target that can get open. I sorta feel like that’s what they coveted over a blocking TE. But maybe they feel Ferguson will fill Schultz’s role fine.
not really, They always leaned towards Mazi or Avila at 26. They liked La porta but not at 26. Kincaid wont do much in Buffalo this year. They have Knox.Its very hard for a rookie TE to be great year 1. Never happens. That said, its hard for a rookie DT as well. Mazi might be the exception.

They spent a lot of time during the post draft presser talking about drafting him because his father works for the team. It’s going to be somewhat of an awkward situation when they end up having to cut him at some point. It’s going to be interesting to see how the Cowboys plan on using him. I’m pulling for him, but he is small.

Once again, that pick was determined before the SB.
But that does not meet your narrative.

How may time are you going to repeat this nonsense?

That pick happened because they chose to move on from an albatross.

Something McClay and the Cowboys seem to just be too darn good to do.

Keep getting fooled.

The draft didn’t fall the way they hoped it would imo. I think they wanted Kincaid in round 1 and probably would have gone OL in round 2 in that instance. Buffalo trading up forced us to focus on the trenches in round 1 which may work out for us.
The irony, another team has to prevent Dallas from making a mistake.

Not getting fooled at all.
Again, that picked happened because Reich over paid, and would never have happened if he was not the HC of the Colts.
Eagles lucked into that and took advantage. Yes, smart their part to have lucked into it.

But another item that makes since but it does not meet your narrative, so you will keep repeating that as well.
