The good and the bad

[My3Sons]

Jerry thinks we almost beat the Eagles and the Packers, that means we are SB bound.

He also has amnesia about getting spanked by the Bears.

Apparently some on here agree with him.

Reality sucks sometimes, but here it is:

The 2025 Dallas Cowboy's defense is bad. Not just bad, historically bad. No SB this year.

Everyone(including Jerry) should wrap their heads around that.

It's interesting that other teams would like to make the playoffs and then we have Cowboy fans that don't want to make the playoffs.

it's superbowl or nothing with a lot of these knuckleheads. Rather than understanding that only 2 teams make it and once you're in the playoffs anything can happen and just enjoying the ride they're more content with wallowing in misery and being able to scream "I told you so" "Jerry blah blah blah"

No, not anything can happen once you are in the playoffs.

What team won the SB with the worst defense in the league???

 

[amame25]

No, you can be in the reality club.

I'm glad you broke that down for us Nostradamus

loser mentality
if you do not want the Championship then you are a loser
and it is total GARBAGE that anything can happen in the playoffs; show me a SB winning team that did not have a top D

Ok.

Show me a team with the WORST defense in the NFL that won a SB.

I will wait.

Also those teams you mentioned.

Indy - Held KC to 8 points in the divisional and Baltimore to 6 points. LOL.

NYG only allowed 14 point a game in the playoffs.

Dallas right now allows 14 points a minute.

Does this mean you believe this roster/ coaching staff has the ability to win it all?

Doesn't matter what a bunch of idiots on a message board believe. If the people in that building, coach, players, executives truly believe that they have a playoff caliber team, then don't be surprised to see them make a move or two to help them get there. Then once in I guarantee you that they will all believe they can win it all.

Will they actually get in? Most likely not, but there is a lot of season left to play and so much can happen between now and then. For me, its too early to write off the season and start looking to the draft.

 

[jazzcat22]

We had the one seed.

Got destroyed by the 7 seed. First time in history btw.

Aren't you tired of going to the playoffs and being one and done?

I want to actually contend.

I still would rather be in the playoffs than not.
Unless we are guaranteed a top 8 pick, give me the playoffs.

I still will not root for losses over a playoff spot.
Get eliminated from the playoffs then losses are different.

Rooting for looses is not being a fan.

WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT. ?

Does it matter what I think? Some fans will disagree regardless.
That is their opinion.

I said all year long. I do not expect any miracles this season. But it does not mean I will root for losses either.
That is just not being a fan and it’s stupid IMO.

Rooting for first round exits isn't either.

You honestly believe with this defense as currently constructed making the playoffs and getting a pick in the 20s is a good thing?

And us fans that see the bigger picture aren't fans?

Jimmy saw what needed to be done. Guess he didn't know what he was talking about either.

Sure worked though.

This team currently has the worst defense in the NFL.

What fixes that?

Sorry but beating up on the Jets, isnt proof this team can contend.

 

[jazzcat22]

This is just another participation trophy copout

Not at all. It is called being a fan. And not having a loser mentality.

 

[nalam]

A lot of good points.
But your last line with making moves with using a pick. I can't get on board with. They are more than a player away to be true contenders.
The one player may help get them into the playoffs as a 6th or 7th seed. But not to win the NFCE.

Best to wait and use them to move around in the next 2 drafts.

Do you expect this GM and FO make sound choices with all those picks ?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

First of all. Wow what a game.

Seeing the way Dak is playing right now, missing 2 starters on the OL and his WR1 is actually awesome. Javonte Williams (Ill eat my crow here) looks fantastic. I was not expecting him to look like this and I hope he can sustain it. I just wish this team had more options at RB.

Pickens. WOW. Good for him. Hopefully he can keep his head on straight and not lose his mind if the game isnt going according to plan.

It was great to see this team raise their level (at least on offense) when no one including myself gave them a chance.

Now the bad.

Lets start off with the whole Micah storyline the whole lead up to the game. My God let it go. He's gone. I ain't happy about it but talking about it constantly plays right into this teams owners hands.

This defense may be the worst thing I have seen in a long time. It may be worse than the defense that gave up the NFL record of first downs in a game to the Saints. There is literally nothing they do well.

This is by far the worst group of LBs in the NFL. No hope here. None.

DE - Williams finally makes a play, but guess what. Penalty. He is just a DUMB football player. Which they knew before drafting him but hey, Jerry loves his second round projects.

Corner? Where? This team doesnt have one. You can see why Elam was let go of so quickly. What a mistake.

This offense is unfortunately going to probably cost this team valuable draft position. The way Dak is playing he may take us out of a top ten pick.

My main prayer here is that Jerry doesnt see this team do well against the Jets and Panthers and make a move with a pick.

I thought our defense was the most terrible thing ever too...then I saw Cinnci / Denver not able to tackle .

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Doesn't matter.
MAKE THE PLAYOFFS ....
I don't care how the Cubs compare to the Cowboys. That is a poor analogy.

Not making the playoffs in lieu of a draft pick 5 spots higher is a loser mentality. PERIOD.

Make the playoffs? How has that worked for us in 10 years?

Beating 8-9 loser bucks?

*MY* goal...is most assuredly NOT merely "make the playoffs".

FYI...no jazz...it's not super bowl or bust either, mkay?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

We have TREMONDOUS success in our drafts. I expect a couple Michigain picks.

 

[phildadon86]

Not at all. It is called being a fan. And not having a loser mentality.

Sorry but a loser mentality to me is to want to fail.

Which is exactly what this team will do without being built in the PROPER way.

We have seen it for 30 years.

Loser mentality is wanting to get to the playoffs to get embarassed so you can say what exactly? You are a better fan because you "believed".

There is reality, and the world you live in where going to the playoffs is more important than CONTENDING in the playoffs.

So you would rather fight to the end, knowing full well they aren't winning a damn thing, get a pick in the late twenties, when in reality with this defense they can lose games and get a top ten pick?

And I have a loser mentality because i want a high draft pick?
