I haven't felt this empty on a NFL Sunday in YEARS. Usually I'm pumped to watch all the games and have on multiple screens, Red Zone etc even when the Cowboys aren't playing.

But today we are out of it with 6 weeks left and none of these games fit into a larger picture of how it affects OUR team. Yes I know we are mathematically still alive, but my heart and my eyes aren't buying it so these games mean nothing. Watching other teams play and win and celebrate just makes me depressed and angry. Every football play is just a stark reminder of how utterly disastrous this season has been for us.

Usually there is comfort in the feeling that hey we are at least not Browns or Jaguars fans. But even they aren't feeling our level of complete disappointment this year, as their sights were not set as realistically high and the depths to which they have plummeted nowhere near as low.

I never dreamed with 5 games left we would be in this position. Of all the fits and starts of the schizophrenic Garrett era we at least had meaningful games in December.

This is the deepest cut of all - to not care about NFL football on November 29th.

Never been more sports depressed in my life. I'm getting beat left and right by my Longhorns and Cowboys. It sucks we have to sit thru another 2 more months of the regular season, the playoffs, super bowl, etc.....wow this is a new low for this franchise.

It sucks. Haven't watched much of the pregame shows. Watching old MASH shows on Netflix, while working on other things, until games start.

I will have the Rams - Bengals game on first row sports. At least I can pull for the Bengals for playoffs.

Giants - Commanders on TV, muted. Other game I get is Dolphins - Jets..why the heck are they showing that game in DFW area....absolutely stupid. Not that there are any better options on CBS at same time though.

Go search this on YouTube

It's 1:22 long... not the three minute one


Points of interest

.50 mark is the blind homers on this board

couldnt agree with you more, watching Texas Tech beat the Longhorns in Austin was the nail in the coffin.

The basketball team sucks too. Plus it looks like OU is in the playoff. What did we do to deserve this lol?

Un-freaking-believable...well, on here, it is believable...

Romo plays 3 games total, 2 full, and 2 halves...breaks clavicle twice. Dez out 8 weeks with a broken foot. Missing 2 players for 1st 4 games, plus Scandrick for the year.
A lot of other nagging injuries, concussions, other players out, like t. McClain on IR.

So O & D needs to be scrambled, effects play calling. It's a snow ball effects. And most teams would be the same.

so now we have the worst coaches and back to 1-15, 5-11 teams....it's one year of injury derailed season....
yes we need some changes, some better players....but this is a team one play away [that we were cheated on] from playing a winnable NFCC game last year.

going to be a long off season of posts, that already started.
I have my complaints and concerns, quite a few of them, eve expressed some of them, but will try to be constructive with them from here on out.

I'm actually excited about the prospect for a very high draft pick. If we completely tank, we might also get a new HC to boot.

In a way, it seems better than the perennial scratch and claw 8-8 underachieving seasons that leave us with a middling pick.

It's been a weird year to say the least.. Normally I watch a lot of football but lately my lady is the one tuning the tv to Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night football.. It's like I forget there's football being played...
