The numbness that befalls us as Cowboys fans

Watching the eagles and commanders win this weekend felt like a Cowboys fan nightmare that I would wake from and be relieved it was just a really bad dream. A bad fever dream where you wake up and say, “Oh thank god….it was just a bad dream.”

But unfortunately it is not a dream.

And the pain increases when the new head coaching search headline includes the possibility of hiring Brian Schottenheimer, an offensive coordinator so pedestrian not a single other serious NFL team would even consider hiring him as their OC, much less head coach. Followed by the insane idea of having Jason Witten, a former great player without an ounce of college or NFL coaching experience, be named the “head coach in waiting.” Why any serious HC candidate would ever agree to work under this nonsense is beyond me.

Maybe we as Cowboys fans have just become so used to this level of front office stupidity, you just become numb. Like the numbness I felt earlier this year when I read that Saquon Barkley had a smaller cap hit than Trey Lance. All the while our owner and entitled son-sidekick lie to us that “we can’t afford any FAs”, while the good GMs with similar payroll challenges say “hold my beer” and get it done.

As Saquon Barkley was making his 78 TD run in the snow to clinch the eagles an NFC championship game for the second time in 3 years, all I could feel is the numbness that comes with being a Cowboys fan held hostage by an 82 year old fool who would rather have personal comfort than a legitimate shot at winning a championship.

I have no more pain, it's just numb disbelief

There you go.....whining about things you can't control...and I'm the bad one. How many times do you and your heroes have to say it, before Jerry listens? About as many times as I call you guys out. I'll keep doing it as long as you all do. Start a real football thread, I'll be glad to comment.

Why bother, I'll be called a Jones minion, boot licker, pee wee coach, Dakster, homer, etc. This board has been ruined by a few and good posters like you have taken there side....to hell with them and their supporters.

No, the board has been ruined by the little whiners who incessantly attack others. I don't see how you don't even realize you're doing it.

It'll be ok....it's just a game. Don't take it to seriously....not worth getting worked up for or being sad.
Still waiting on your football thread....

Not sure what you mean. I generally find plenty threads to comment on and say what I want to say. I don't start all that many threads because it's easy to see that it's not necessary.

Holy Larry, and you're doing it again. Do you even know you're doing what you're accusing others of doing?

THIS!
Who can forget Switzer yelling to Jerry "We did it! We did it our way baby!" while hoisting the Lombardi.

THIS is Jerry's foundation for whom he is as a GM.

Jerry has just been looking for his next pair of triplets combined with any yes man coach who can coach up all the other talent Jerry brings in.

Remember, any of 500 coaches could do that.
That was and IS Jerry's mindset.
Nothing has changed.

Yeah they did it their way, with tthe majority of the team and staff that won back to back SB just 2 years earlier.

That is the basis of Jerrys validation. Then just 2 years later they were 6-10 due to Jerry’s mismanagement They no longer could win with a HC standing on the sidelines eating hotdogs trying to rely on Jimmys players and staff who had been gradually leaving, declining or retiring.

But good ol Jerruh has kept trying his way for 30 years with consistent failure.

Deny that you're coming after me, specifically....you cry that I do it and then you do it. Put the pacifier down.

I hear ya and there are a few very vocal minority which try and dominate the forum attacking certain Cowboys like Dak. Before it was Romo or Garrett.

But there are also a few homers who can’t stand those attacks and basically begin attacking those fans instead of actually arguing the topics .

Mods have always advised us to ignore and not feed or bring more attention to these attacks . Which attacks on anything Cowboy related is allowed .Attacking those fans is not .

Some of us are not defending their attacks on all the subjects but we are defending their right within the rules. If you don’t like the rules then perhaps this isn’t the place for you.

I’ve taken on both extremes . And have chosen to place some on ignore . There are many threads to participate to get too bogged down on a few threads or topics .

But homers can become more problem trolls than those coming on this forum to simply attack Cowboy related topics . I’ve noticed most trolls don’t attacks Jethro. It’s more of the overall fanbase which realize he’s our biggest problem.

A sliver lining forum wouldn’t be active enough to generate advertising revenue. Forums are more negative and fans venting their frustrations not fans just cheerleading.

There are some Cowboys Facebook pages which are more positive to follow. Not as much activity and interaction as you’ll find here including bloggintheboys which is a popular more overall positive site with actual writers . But again not as much interaction and activity.

Unfortunately coach , it’s going to be more negative as long as our futility continues.

Since the GB game last year the fans keep getting lied to and Let down its been a really bad nightmare. After the news of BS I feel totally NUMB and just cant believe the direction that this org. has taken.
the SAD part is Jerry and company believe this is the right direction.

I get all that....I guess dealing with fans like this in person during my career, puts me on edge. I had 4 fans make an appointment to come see me during a season....we were 9-0 at the time, they wanted me to start the back ups and play my starters in the second half to make the games more interesting....I laughed in their faces as I threw them out of my office. There are idiots everywhere and I don't like turning the other cheek. But, unlike many, I don't get butt hurt when I get called out....if someone can't take it, they shouldn't dish it.
Some around here call me out and I call them out, then we laugh about it. Some take it personal....
