This organization is the walking definition of insanity

Webster’s simple definition of insanity: “a severely disordered state of the mind.”

Of course we’ve all grown up hearing that the definition of insanity is “doing the same things and expecting different results.” Tonight I believe the second definition is most appropriate describing the owner and GM of the Cowboys.

Reading that ridiculous statement crafted by Jerry’s PR department tonight about retaining Mike McCarthy as head coach because this team is “close”. Hahaha! How many times have we heard this? Was there ever even 30 seconds watching that slaughter Sunday at AT&T by the 7th seeded 9-8 visitors that any honest Cowboys fan thought that this team is “close” to anything other than early elimination?

Let me make this clear: I have nothing against Mike McCarthy. Honestly he’s been way better than the last coach Jerry was “comfortable” with. My disgust is not with Big Mac or Dak (although I’m ready for a change at QB too) Folks, Dak was not forced at gunpoint to sign his big contract. And any fan who is honest should admit Dak had a good season.

But being 2-5 in the playoffs as your signal caller means every year it gets harder for him to climb that mountain. He will be back here next year and probably many more years because our owner/GM either does not know HOW to rebuild the right way or lacks the stones to admit he was wrong about what kind of team he has. Or both.

So if you’re mad about McCarthy coming back I hope you weren’t actually believing that any coach- Bill Belichick, Jim Harbaugh, an 80 year old Jimmy Johnson, or the ghost of Tom Landry is capable of turning this Titanic around with Captain Jones at the wheel. It…does…not…matter….who is coaching. No one can fix this as long as Jerry is dominating this culture.

If you don’t believe that you are refusing to look at three decades of evidence.

I am a loyal Cowboys fan. Been a fan 59 years. But my loyalty is to that blue star on the silver helmet. Not to the 81 year old fool who apparently has no one around him who tells him that HE is THE problem or he isn’t listening. Whichever it is, I’m as clear eyed as can be. I love the Cowboys and always will. I want them to win. But expecting Jerry Jones to be the architect of a team that can raise a Lombardi is the definition of insanity to me.

Bingo, unfortunately. Hence me having next to no emotional investment in this team. I remember crying when they lost in the playoffs when I was young. By the second quarter on Sunday I was just shaking my head with "here we go again" vibes. No emotion, whatsoever. It makes me a bit sad that I don't care like I used to care. Thanks, Jerry.

Here’s what we are expected to believe tonight:
  • The 48-32 slaughter was a mirage. We really aren’t the team we appeared to be Sunday.
  • We don’t need to change how we do things despite not winning a divisional playoff game in 28 years.
  • Our GM thinks he should be trusted despite the last 28 seasons.
  • Next year will be different even though the main architect of the last 28 years of mediocrity will still be in charge.
  • We are “close”.
I‘m not the smartest guy in the world but I know I’m not crazy. I would have to be crazy to buy the same kool aid 29 years in a row.

MM is better than the alternative who would have been an Arthur Smith type. Trying to find the positive :muttley:

Staubach himself could not win the SB
With Jerry and the toxic culture he has propagated.
We are doomed as a franchise until Jerry moves along.

This is true, and, like I said, I have no problem with Mike. I think most of our problems are the actions of our FO when it comes to player acquisition.....or lack there of.
I think it’s more of a problem of infecting the locker room and the culture of the entire entitled organization with the Jones sickness. Jerry dominates the culture. And this is a soft as Charmin culture. The way that team let GB bully them in their own house was pathetic. That’s not about talent.
