The numbness that befalls us as Cowboys fans

What’s spoiled about wanting a billionaire act like he wants to win? Isnt that the point of owning a team. If you just accept mediocre good for you. Weird comment

That made zero sense. Live vicariously? I’m on a Cowboy board because I’ve been a fan since 75. There were decades where it was SB or bust. We are now going 3 decades where that isn’t the standard. So as a FAN I’d like to see us win. That the point of being a fan. Go to bed. You used to be much more reasonable. Not sure what happened to you,

Man up? Dude we are here to cheer on a team to a SB. That’s the goal. It’s not a big deal people want the owner to try at a minimum and not keep being so incestuous. I used to always enjoy your opinion but telling people to not care and just get bent over is a bad take bro! Just is. Nothing spoiled about expecting “trying”

Nothing wrong with cheering and wanting to win...stop putting words in my mouth...it's the constant beating of the same horse! What good does that do on a fan board? All it does is tear the fans apart. That's why I don't like it. This used to be a great place to talk FOOTBALL...Now it's all Hate Jerry, Dak, Micah, Stephen....that's what it has become.

Jerry Jones is not senile.

The Dallas Cowboys are not a casual father/son activity. It is a multi-billionaire dollar professional sports enterprise and should be treated as such.

Would I fight my father concerning questionable decision-making impacting the on-the-field goals of said enterprise? Yes.

Would I step down and remove myself from the professional conflict between my father and myself if compromises could not be achieved? Yes. My father is more important to me than being purposefully implicit making bad judgments--simply to appease him in exchange of on-the-field success. Jerry Jones, I am sorry, my father can fail all on his own without any help.

You have identified a central issue though. Jerry and Stephen Jones are executives of a National Football League franchise, who treat it like a lifelong father and son project. The father's age is not the problem. How much time they have together is not either. How they perform as self/father appointed Owner/President/General Manager and Chief Operating Officer/Co-Owner before, now and from now on is the problem.

If he was senile, it would more understandable. However, he has had the same expansive grandiose mentality for quite a while. He's always had a problem with speaking. Just Jerry being who he is.

Winning Super Bowl 30 was one of the worst things that happened to this franchise. And Jerry's mind he could win Super Bowls doing it his way, but everyone with just a small amount of intelligence knew that was our last Super Bowl we were winning the second it was over.

It was bittersweet as we knew it was over and way to early

Well you said people are spoiled. I agree with you completely hate has taken over sports and the boards. But so has the blind following. I’ve always said I’m Independent here…will give praise and tear some down…but I think…personally…it’s frustration. I think the Garrett years on has just seemed to have a similar story line. Even in the Campo, Chan years etc I didn’t think we weren’t trying. Now it’s weird. Tough days to me. I don’t think players should catch as much but Jerry/Stephen seem to have just stopped pretending. My opinion. Start some football threads then. I’m game. Have a great night Ranch

Any win is sweet! I enjoyed every minute of it. Nothing bitter about, for me.

Not the win. Loved it. The fact that it was to be our last one, when it should have continued. I did enjoy winning 3out of 4. That was dominance.
 
Sounds like Jerry is very opposed to changing his perspective. I wonder if that's changed from the days of him taking a certain picture outside of a school. If not may be the NFL can do us all a favor and run with that again.
 
I said it at the time, but I knew Jerry going into Canton was going to be terrible for the fanbase. I knew the arrogance and hubris would ascend to unfathomable new heights, even for the Joneses. Here we are. The toughest part about Jerry still having GM powers is, not only does he say he's the best man for the job, but I genuinely think he believes it. Despite the house of cards falling around him every year with similar outcomes and fails every time.

What alarms me the most about this team is, the facts are that Jerry has actually assembled some pretty damn good teams over the years. I can think of 4 or 5 teams specifically since 2007 that I could've seen playing in the Conference Championship. With all of that said, how in the hell has this franchise not even lucked into a championship game? Seriously. Teams do it all the time. The Rams advancing due to the most botched no-PI call in the history of the league against the Saints. Case Keenum finding Diggs when they had no shot winning the game. How about Blake Bortles? Had Brady not engineered a game sealing drive with mostly flags, Blake Bortles would've likely played in a SUPER BOWL. All 3 of our divisional rivals have made it to the Super Bowl without their starting QB and have won it anyway. Even our dear friend Aaron Rodgers converting on 3rd and 20, after a previous interception that was negated via penalty. There is talent, discipline, and coaching, but there's luck as well.

The point I guess I am trying to make is we deserve to be exactly where we are right now. There is no disputing that. But why do the Cowboys almost always find themselves on the wrong side of luck as well?

I'm beginning to think Jerry actually did make a deal with the devil at the expense of his devoted fanbase...
 
Too bad it’s taken so many fans so long to see Jethro’s ways and become numb.

I’m afraid it’s too late now to bring about the changes we know is necessary.
 
I have given up. Fan since at least 1977. Will always watch and hope but have no faith that Jerry will step aside and hire a GM and fro t office and get out of the way. I really came to like Dan Quinn and since a I’ve seen Washington play a lot being in the same division with the Cowboys, I have bought a Washington Jersey! If Jerry ever does the right thing, I will come back and reinvest. Right now it was time to sell that stock.

The most ridiculous and frustrating part of this is that it was 100% preventable.

If this fool merely spent the median amount on free agency this roster would have been competitive .

OR

If this same fool let Dak play without a contract he would had a chance to bring in a new HC who would have decided if the team was staying with Dak or moving in another direction.....it wouldn't have cost the team ONE PENNY more.

Now we have an aging , oft injured, overpaid Qb who will saddle the next HC......no chance for the next HC to go in a different direction....the culture will remain status quo

And why once we decided to extend Prescott, extending McCarthy should have been the next move .
