That was the definition of an embarrassing loss. Fourth straight loss at home, where the Cowboys average giving up 42 points per game in 2024. A really bad smell is coming out of AT&T and the list of what stinks the worst when a football team loses this badly usually starts with the head coach, the QB, the coordinators, the players getting paid the most. And those people all stunk it up Sunday vs the lions.

But my fellow Cowboys fans, as frustrating as it was watching the lions absolutely embarrass us in our home palace, the worst smell coming out of the “stayjum” is not the players and coaches. The stink worse than a trash bag of rotten food sitting in the Texas heat for a week is coming from the owner’s box, where the oldest General Manager in NFL history sits surrounded by his entitled children. All with their lifetime contracts and a talent for refusing to hold themselves accountable.

So when you feel the frustration of another embarrassing loss, and a dim future for this team, try to remember that the guy who owns and runs this once proud franchise like his personal fantasy football gig has done all these things:
  • Hired all six head coaches we’ve had in the last 29 years since our last SB appearance and last divisional playoff win.
  • Hired eight different offensive coordinators and eight different defensive coordinators in that time.
  • Seen 9 different starting QBs in that 29 year period, two of which have earned top dollar at the time in Romo and Prescott.
  • Had multiple current and future Hall of Fame players on the team with none of them ever experiencing even one divisional playoff win.
The winning owners of the last 28 SBs all had this in common: They hired someone else to be their GM.

So the next time Dak throws a bad pick, the running game averages 2.6 yards in a game, Lamb quits on a route, the defense gives up over 40 points at home and over 500 yards, and the HC looks lost, just remember who hired ALL those guys. And remember he’s been in charge of everything from “jocks to socks” all these years.

The worst smell coming out of AT&T is in the owner’s box. That is the where all this started.

But, we like our guys.

Also, its a culture thing. Some fans here keep going to the stadium, buying merchandise and so on. Other fans are ok with 12 wins, and defend bust like Mazi Smith with passion.

Like I said, the whole organization is rotten to the bone and some fans are ok with that.

Great post Bob.

Prime example was Zeke getting more carries than Rico today. There’s no way the coaches decided to do that on their own. No no, even the most incompetent professional coach could clearly see that Zeke is washed.

And yet this week we have reports of Zeke discussing his role with “team officials”.

That Jerry stench you speak of is all over this situation too.

Nobody could convince me that Jerry didn’t meddle with the coaches about Zeke’s
Role. Then Zeke goes out and runs for a sweet 17 yards on 8 carries.

100%. If McCarthy played Zeke that much because he was “commanded“ to do so, he should resign. Any self respecting HC would never stay in a circus where the owner lands helicopters on the practice field and allows any player to talk to him about playing time.

That is absolutely what went down. Zeke cried, and Coach Jones cottled him to the detriment of the team and progress stopped Dowdle who was coming off his break out game. Just incomprehensible, mind boggling, astounding, dumbfounding...

And absolutely awful for team chemistry. There's no incentive to do your job well because you'll just lose it if the guy you replaced runs to Daddy crying.

If the story is true about Zeke crying to Daddy Jones, this coaching staff might as well all resign. Because they have no control nor clout and they are all hanging over a cliff with their contracts and the players know it.

Well yeah! I thought everybody knew that. These players don't respect the coaches and know who runs the show. That's why Zeke went to Jerry and not mccarthy. McCarthy doesn't decide who starts.

Honestly, I could also see it being a passive aggressive thing.

Big Mike or whoever being like. Ok Jerry, you want Zeke to get more touches? Here is Zeke up
The middle for 2 yards on every first down. Happy birthday Jerry.

Of course that isn’t healthy for a football team either but this is also one of the problems with having lame duck coaches. They know they’re toast after this year. They know it.

Nonsense!
There was a post on this very board not a couple of days ago claiming Zeke was a 1000 yard rusher if Garrett was still the coach!

I highly doubt it because every time Zeke started chewing up yardage Garrett would abandon the running game. He did it with DeMarco Murray several times.

But that's assuming Elliott has the ability to gain 1,000 yards. He doesn't. He's toast- at 29 years old. Yet another example of a player getting a second contract here and mailing it in.
