This organization is the walking definition of insanity

[john van brocklin]

lol we all need our heads checked

Should be mandatory for all Cowboys fans at this point.
Is being a Cowboys fan a mental illness?
Haha

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.

For the most part, you're right. However, I think the talent issue comes down to the lack of a contingency for things that are obvious flaws that we can all see. The running game and run stopping abilities were a glaring weakness that the FO never fixed. They built this team to thrive from in front. Pro football doesn't always work that way. The team has to be able to run the ball and play physically, especially in the playoffs. That's why i say lack their of.

You do have the option to stop watching and find other hobbies. You may find that a better use of your time and energy than posting lengthy dissertations twice a month on the futility of a professional sports franchise.

Continuing on with a hobby that seemingly makes many of you so miserable is far more insane than anything Jerry Jones has ever done, in my humble opinion.

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.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Awesome sauce

I’m fine Twok, lol. Thanks for your concern.

 

[john van brocklin]

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.

Jerry is killing the Cowboys franchise.
Seriously he is just sucking the passion out of the fans.

 

[75boyz]

Run it Back! Run it Back! Run it Back!

It's what us crazy fans want.
Cowboys!

LOL

 

[NeonNinja]

Well said. I agree with everything. The culture is toxic because of the two-headed clown.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Jerry loves you. He appreciates the way you got sucker in there at the end of the year. He hopes to see you again next year, and don't forget to get your gear. You too can pretend to be a player on the team with your authentic dak chokescott jersey. Don't forget to see the artwork at the stadium too, it's amazing.

Here we go Bob, get in line and keep your eyes forward as you march in like sheep to another year.

This organization is the walking definition of a circus.
All sales, with the glittering costumes and a ringleader hyping the performers and performances, doing everything they can to convince their customers to believe in an illusion.
When the smoke disappears and the lights fade, you realize,
It was all a show.

Good points.

Here is why Jerry is not hiring Belichick....................who do you think would get the credit if the Cowboys won the SB next year after hiring Belichick?

Jerry dam sure would not be getting the credit and that is the entire problem right there.

Jerry would rather be in charge and lose compared to the team winning but he not getting any of the credit.

30 years later Jerry is still trying to prove to the world that it was him and not Jimmy that should get the credit for those SBs.....................just sad and pathetic.

 

[noshame]

Jerry just wants everybody to like him. From the players to the media. Just keep the spotlight shining

and the hell with the football fans

 

[Ben7]

..well Bullet, at least we know we're going 12-5 in 24'...

Or less, hehe lol haha

I had a smidgen of hope because Jerry did hire Parcells and stop meddling ... for a while. I was hoping that the Packer game would have been the slap in the face that Jerry needed. The best thing Jerry could do for the team would be to retire and to hire the best GM and coach possible and stay out of the way. He would serve this team better by spending next season on a world cruise drinking margaritas and seeing interesting parts of the world. I think, for a short time, Jerry realized, "If this team is to get another championship, I have to step aside." He did that for a while, and Coach Parcells did things his way ... for a while. Parcells turned a 5 and 11 team around and into a playoff team, and I believe he would have brought them even farther if Jerry hadn't stepped on his toes. Jerry just couldn't resist. He wanted TO, but his coach didn't. In a case like that, you defer to your coach! Parcells knew the game way better than Jones, and it's not even close.
...
I had hoped that Jerry would have had the same epiphany as before, except realizing, "I should have stayed out of Parcells' way back then, so now I'm staying out of Harbaugh's way" (or whomever he hires). But we get the same old, same old, and it will be even harder for McCarthy next year, as the team will have a first-place schedule. You hire a Harbaugh or a Bellichick, and if he wants to give it a go with Dak, you let him. If he wants to get rid of Dak, you let him. If he wants to draft a QB and have Dak, Trey, and the new guy compete for the starting job, you let him do that. I feel like having Herm Edwards talk some sense into him, as in: "Hello???? You let your coach coach! It's how you play to win the game!"

it's not happening, so fall back in line and march step in step with the other sheep to the slaughter. eyes forward as you fall off the cliff.

Amen. A perfect rebuttal to the 'What has Jerry have to do with it. He wasn't on the field' crowd. Spot on.

 

[CATCH17]

All hope and belief went out the window for me with this announcement.

Sad day in Cowboys land and really cements the fact that winning and accountability for not winning is not this teams priority.

 

[kwcool619]

Jerry and his family and the FO keep believing that a butter knife can do more damage than a machete.
