This loss was painful for me tonight

[RustyBourneHorse]

Hahahahahahaha, I needed that. Thank you

I went numb at 14-0, because I already knew the result. I know I'm not as shocked and humiliated as I should be, because deep down, this CAN'T surprise me, or any of us. Media are shocked...just shocked. I've seen this show before. This one might be the worst loss on paper, and it's historically bad, but it doesn't hurt as bad as some of the close losses I've seen in 48 years, games when we actually showed some effort. It's easier to care when THEY care.

It's ok Russ. When it was 26-0.

I went upstairs to level up some guys on Warttales.
I knew where the game was going. No sense to watch anymore, and become more frustrated.

Don't think the football Gods are Dallas fans. Maybe at some point, that could change

I know it probably sounds ridiculous for me to say this. However, I must admit that this loss was painful for me tonight. maybe I'm foolish. Maybe it's because I'm young. I don't know. However, it felt absolutely torturous to watch today's defeat.

I suppose it's because this regular season was the best one that I have seen since becoming a fan around 2000. I mean, sure, we've had 13 win seasons before, but, before this game today, I felt this team really had a chance to do something special. Now, I dont know. We probably won't win the division next year because that's how the division works. We probably will have a new coach, but what's to say it's going to be a good coach if it's not McCarthy? Its going to have to be someone that works well with Jerry. But then, what happens to the team? Does it become irrelevant like when I started as a fan? Does it become successful? It just feels, well, painful feeling like this might have been the closest I'm going to have seen this team having a chance at success for some time.

I'm always going to stay a fan of this team. Most losses don't affect me the way they used to, but this one feels different just because of what I've described. Or at least, that's what's been rolling in my head since the game ended. Then again, should I care that much? The players don't seem to care that much. Their loss is mended by the money they made. Jerry won't care because he's got billions.

I'm sorry if this thread seems to be rambling. I'm just trying to vent a bit after how painful this loss was for me.

What success have you seen? Regular season success is fools gold. Will look forward to seeing a real franchise like the Ravens following our demise.

You have nothing to fear - we have had zero success, and we’ve never come close

 

[Gonzomandela01]

The way they just kept scoring on us, open receivers all over the field and in very few plays... It was very painful to watch.

 

[XXLMike]

This is gonna hurt for a long long time .

So sorry rusty.
You younger fans deserve better.

This is gonna hurt for a long long time .

I was over it before the game ended. I've seen this from the 21st century Cowboys too many times to be upset about it. This is who they are until they prove otherwise.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I really do feel bad for you and all of the younger fans who haven't experienced when the Cowboys were great. I know a lot of people here think us old timers are too critical of the way this team does business but it's because we remember how a great organization should be run. Honestly I wasn't really surprised because it's typical Cowboys this century. This team just doesn't show up for big games/ As big of a letdown as that 2007 team as far as I'm concerned and the NFC is wide open aside from SF. Well at least we don't have to get beaten by them again.

 

[Clove]

I love the Mavs, the Colorado Buffs, sort of the Texas Rangers, but there is just something about the Cowboys that have stuck with me since 1977. I just can't shake it.

I do feel bad for the younger Cowboys fans that have never experienced success. They don’t know what a championship team looks like and they are the ones who probably get sucked in more than anyone. A championship team starts with a difference maker at Quarterback and Head Coach. Dak and McCarthy are both good. But, they are not good enough for the Dallas Cowboys. The standards here should be much higher. The QB and Coach have to be the pillars of your team, the difference makers. They’ve both let us down three years in a row when it mattered most. Until those two change for something better do not get your hopes up.

 

[cald0d30s0]

I feel you. I was 6 last time they were good. I feel very sad and my day is completely ruined. I just don’t what to think anymore. I feel like we shouldn’t even be watching because they aren’t even trying. Its really really sad.

I do love football, I just don’t want to watch this team anymore until they care about us, the fans.

 

[Wezsh0T]

This is the worst I've ever felt after a loss. I really, really like the guys on our team. Starting with Romo and now Dak, the narrative is that our team folds under pressure and is only good when it doesn't count. I just want them to shut the naysayers up so badly, but we always seem to fall on our face when it matters the most. This is what pains me the most. We weren't even competitive today. We just came out and sucked. We looked outcoached, we were outplayed, got pushed around, and looked completely lost.

I refuse to eat more of Jerry's cheese until he makes some significant changes. I've wasted money buying NFL Sunday Ticket and Cowboys gear. More than that, I've wasted hours of my life watching this undisciplined team. Get dedicated to winning and stop getting pushed around by teams who think you are soft. How does a team with a rookie QB and no pro-bowlers come in and hand it to us? Because they believe they can. None of the numbers, records, or stats mean anything if you can't win in the most important games. Paper dragon.

The best leadership I saw and heard today was Jimmy Johnson on Fox at halftime. That's what we need.

The Romo to Dez "he caught it" game comes in at a close second for painful losses. It's those times when you know that if things had just fallen your way, you had a real chance to win it all. But did we this time? We just looked like a pile of donkey doo.

The sad part about it is the Cowboys that we loved probably died sometime in the 90's. People wonder why some of us old timers are protective of the older players. It's because to me they were my heroes. I don't know if we'll ever get that again with this team.

 

[Kumala808]

This is the worst lost ever cause those past post season losses at least they were a little more competitive but this one was just bad

 

[NoFurtherQuestions]

Don't worry too much. We topped the Forbes rich list again this year and lots of people watch our games. That's all that matters. Winning in January is overrated

 

[CATCH17]

It hurt me but I know this is kinda what the Cowboys do.

I tell myself all year that this team can’t be judged until the post season.

This is why.

The regular season for the Cowboys means nothing and it means less than nothing without a coaching switch.

I will always have those memories. I just feel bad for the 30 years and under crowd.

 

[Pevansjr]

Been a fan since the late 80's and was fortunate to see some very good teams and some super bowls. I used to get upset at a loss and let it ruin my day (or week), but I long ago realized in the end it's just a game and these losses roll off my back, I'm certainly not going to let them spoil my day or week. I understand not everyone is like this and some people wear their fandom on their sleeves and that's cool. Different strokes for different folks.

 

[okstateCowboy]

I’m so sick of this crap. So much time, money and emotion invested in this franchise. It is starting to sink in that I may never see us win a Super Bowl. I’ve already lived nearly half my life and and only seen 4 ****ing playoff wins
