These are the new Cowboys; this is your circus

[leeblair]

Stop wishing for the real Dallas Cowboys to come to life; they are gone.
This new franchise, this circus, is what Jerry Jones has created.
And this is as good as it gets.
This is what a perennial 8-8 team looks like. Except for playing weak teams and getting help from the officials (see the Detroit game last year- and more like it), these Cowboys are astoundingly mediocre. Not because they lack talent, but because they lack the leadership needed to be better.
Accept it and move on. The Cowboys of the past are gone.
By the way: it was another "miraculous" last second drive in prime time that put the Falcons over the Eagles. Isn't it peculiar how so many primetime games are decided by one score in the final seconds- no matter what teams face each other?
How'd you like the Chiefs/Bengals game? The Chiefs "miraculously" overcame a 4th and 16 to beat the Bengals at the end, keeping Taylor Swift happy and preserving more publicity for the NFL with pics of her cheering from the box.
Wow.

Why you didn’t post this last week lol?

This didn’t just happen this season. It’s been a 30 year “process.” I’m just glad many on here are finally starting to see the light. Hoping for this to be the break season. Blow it up!

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

This team ain’t making it to 8-8 pal . Not with this schedule and current roster. Maybe 5-12.

I kinda did. I posted it in the thread, "Getting upset now when Dak plays poorly is a waste of emotion".
I am no longer a fan of the Dallas Cowboys organization or the team. That ended a week ago on Sunday morning when the news of Dak Prescott's extension was announced. It was confirmation that this is no longer the Cowboys that I grew up loving. I am a fan of the original Dallas Cowboys, and I always will be. But, this organization does not possess the values that make me want to cheer for them.
And, I realized something: Jerry's way of doing things is amateurish, and since Jimmy Johnson's departure and the unraveling of the team he built, what we have seen is another franchise. Jerry's way of doing things will never achieve greatness.
Jerry has used his influence to change the entire NFL from a professional sports league to an entertainment business. More teams are getting new domed stadiums, and PSL's and tax dollars fund most of it. It has, in the short term, made the NFL a booming success.
It will, in the long term, destroy it.
It is no longer about which team is best, but the new NFL is carefully structured to maximize profits. I said before it is naive to believe that billionaires would leave their fortunes to chance.
Now most games are decided in the final seconds by one score, keeping advertisers happy and gambling popular. This would never happen in a real sports league.some games, yes. All or most of them, no.
When the economy weakens, fans will no longer look to the NFL for a break from their everyday pressures. The reality of what it has become will sink in, and fewer will be willing to place bets on a game that is obviously not a true game.
Yes, the athletes run up and down the field and make great plays, but in the end common sense will set in and they will realize that everything is not as it seems.
Like pro wrestling, muscle bound athletes in fancy costumes show their abilities and play for the cheers of the fans, but in the end it's just entertainment. That's why Taylor Swift is so important to the NFL. The NFL doesn't want to lose her fans
That's why individual stats are promoted through fantasy football; fans forget their team stinks and they cheer individual players, regardless of who wins.
This is the new NFL, and these are the new Cowboys.

Hey wait a minute. You said you were leaving if Dak got extended:

If the Cowboys extend Dak I am done with them.
I watched them pay Marion Barber and waste Tashard Choice, and watched Jerry coddle Garrett for 13 years.
I'm done with them if they extend Dak.

Why aren’t you keeping your word?

I agree, But beware of the many zombie-fans here who think this is a good team.
You said it.
this is a circus

Just like me.... it is VERY hard to leave your team.
I will always be a Cowboys fan, but IT will never ever deny that we cheer a mediocre team

Maybe it’s just me but I was taught to always keep your word. It’s the only thing you have.

You said you were done with the Cowboys and were leaving. I said you would be back….bingo! You said the same thing in 2023. On your profile you said “goodbye” and returned.

I am done with them. I didn't say I was leaving the forum.
You conveniently left that out because it doesn't fit your lies.

Well that is also true

 

[leeblair]

I never said that I was leaving the forum. You liars conveniently leave that out.

 

[KJJ]

I never said that I was leaving the forum. You liars conveniently leave that out.

If you’re done with the Cowboys why are you back posting? You said “goodbye” in 2023 and came back. It’s on your profile unless you delete it. If you’re done with the team go find something else to do.

I had something that I felt needed to be said.
But I am not a fan of these Dallas Cowboys.

If you’re not still a fan you wouldn’t be here posting and complaining about the team. If you were done with the team you would move on from posting and find something else to do. It’s like a guy saying he’s done with a woman and has moved on, but he can’t stop talking about her. You’re not done with something if you keep complaining about it.

Truth......she's actually the one that promised she was leaving this FORUM because she didn't like the "negativity"
