This is why we can't have nice things

[Stash]

Stop expecting more, it is not going to get better. They have run the show for over 25 years. Jerry is 80 years old and no other NFL team would hire his son.

12 wins and a wild card playoff victory is as good as it gets. They're not going to crack the code. If they could, they would've done it already. This is our fate.

With better QB play in the divisional round, Dallas would have been getting ready to play Philly this weekend.

Everything was set up to win, but the QB struggled with his mental

The mental aspect of the game has always been what Dak has struggled with. I’m surprised in this day and age there isn’t someone out there that can help. And I’m not talking from an X’s and O’s standpoint. But just coping with stress and trusting what you see. I could tell that first series it was going to be a long day. Dak gets that “deer in the headlights look” and can’t shake it.

They have a chance to help right the ship the next few months. Zeke decision. Dak restructure. Spend $ in FA. Another great draft.

I keep dreaming of a salary cap without Zeke and Dak. Can you imagine?

Yep 28th time will be the charm.

 

[Coogiguy03]

It might not be too long, Stephen looking almost as old as his pops

Not as good looking as Jerry Stephen looks like the father of Eli Manning face lol

 

[JJHLH1]

A Wild Card playoff win is our ceiling.

So this season was the best we could hope for.

 

[Aven8]

We are arguably one of the best drafting teams in football, and at the same time the WORST FA team in football. It’s very strange.

I think it can get better but they’re the constant

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Jerry is a smart man, but his Ego is the roadblock for this team excelling.

Stephen is a dunce and will actually do worse because he thinks he’s smart.

We’re screwed.

Maybe my Son will enjoy this team in 40 years once Stephen croaks and the Spaulding Era takes over.

Don't make the mistake of making Dak the scapegoat. That's what the Jones' want you to do. We hadn't gotten past the divisional round for nearly 20 years before Dak showed up. This is not to say that Dak doesn't have his faults. He needs to do better but he isn't the main problem at the Cowboys.

He was the main problem against the 49ers. Anybody defending him that game is just defending the person. With better QB play, Dallas wins that game. Has nothing to do with Jerry Jones or the 27 years. They hadn't won a road playoff game in 30 years until they beat Tampa the week before...... That's no excuse

 

[EPL0c0]

Dallas needs a culture change, starting at the top.

I disagree. He hasn't struggled with the mental part until this season. That was one of his best strengths was not turning the ball over and getting the ball to the right person.

This notion that he can't read a defense, or looks like a deer in headlights is nonsense and untrue. Dak is statically one of the best against the blitz.

This season you can tell he is being more aggressive, and not all the picks are on him, but the ones that were on him look like he predetermined he was going to force the ball no matter what.

Sybil aka dak, IS the reason we're not advancing and should be the scapegoat and for this year,HE was the main problem. Two straight years,two straight chokes.

 

[visionary]

Stephen looks absolutely awful these days. He looks about 25 years older than he did in 2014. All that partying must be catching up with him.

One can only hope

 

[diamonddelts]

More by accident (Gregory -Denver) than design we are about to right the CAP ship, without killing the future with DEAD CAP. This does give us the option (possibly 2024, more than 2023) to go to the much anticipated/craved 'ALL-IN'. Jerry's last huzzah.

Never gonna happen

The problem is Dak was the problem Sunday. If not for him, this team is in the NFC championship game.

They have built a championship caliber roster. But bad contracts will sink any team. Dak and Zeke. Without those contracts, this team would be poised to be a perennial contender.

But because of the Dak contract, they will not be able to improve this off-season. They will also lose guys because they cannot afford them

In the end, it's still on ownership for giving out those bad contracts. But everyone in the media said at the time that Dak was deserving of a market setting contract. They were all wrong.

The fact that they structured the deal they did, it guaranteed they would be screwed if Dak didn't turn into an elite QB. And now it will negatively impact the franchise for years.

 

[TRUTH87]

as dysfunctional as we are i’m surprised we won a playoff game.

you guys remember early in the season when MM was asked about option routes? he clearly said he’s not a fan of them at all. & what does our wonder boy son of JJ aka kellen moore run? oh yeah a lot of option routes.

clearly MM and KM have two different philosophies. but Jerry has to hand pick the damn coordinator all the time.

SMH

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

It’s really amazing they’ve been able to produce as much success as they have. You’d think we’d be more bottom tier than able to make the playoffs.

What they are much better at is hyping and selling their product. To the point fans start believing it’s more than it is. But the fall down to reality every year is always so painful for these fans who buy into the hype.

Unfortunately we have to go thru this process every year after the season.

Not me ! I try to tell you guys, and all people stop with BS. If Championships is your mark , you are going to be disappointed MOST YEARS, because most teams, don't win it all. Now this year Dallas went 12-5 and won a playoff game, away

from home against Tom Brady. Our Defense looked promising Our pariah of a QB, The worse man ever to pick up a football, Can't read the most basic of defenses and is just a dumb...........Well even he had a year in which he QB the team

one game away from the conference championship. Who knows maybe next year our luck will be better. But I'll tell you this I'm gonna enjoy FOOTBALL either way.

I have always questioned grown men and why they get so invested in whether or not a Team that has nothing to do with them, they derive no financial reward from wins a championship. I mean if your getting thrown out of your Domicile, and

Dallas wins a championship, aren't you still a homeless SOB ? But I digress, football is an distraction something to get away and focus on, a hobby if you will.. Watching the Dallas Cowboys play football brings me joy, whether it's pre season,

Regular season and for the past two years, they've been a playoff team. I don't go through anything it's always wait til next year for me, 1-16 or Super Bowl Champ. Wait til next year!!!

GO COWBOYS

I couldn't imagine being handed the golden keys to a billion dollar NFL franchise. Must be nice. Difference is I'd be smart enough to hire a GM.
