Well, and then we just keep pouring more petrol on him. Keep bringing a Philadelphia-like energy to Jerry until we become legit contenders.
Rusty with all due respect Jerry and his age may not survive Philadelphia like energy.

Having lived in this area my whole life I will be the first to tell you this is a violent hateful group of people around here they'd be at Jerry's house with pitchforks long ago.

Philadelphia fans would in no way tolerate him blatantly putting making himself a fortune over winning a super bowl on a yearly basis.

Things would get uncomfortable for him real fast in this area he wouldn't be a celebrity here he would be lucky if he could leave his house without a bodyguard.

You notice the eagles front office are always doing everything in their power to at least try and get better because the fans demand it .

Jerry gets away with sitting on his hands because no one holds him accountable

That's my point. It may be time for us as fans to turn up the energy. Maybe start with Half Philly, see if that forces a change in team building attitude.

We need a leader that has some type of direct access to Jerry to express our concerns and opinions.
Somebody not on his payroll or so close to his inner circle that their life goes down the toilet with his disapproval.

A guy with Jerry's money and influence can have a heck of a negative impact on a lot of people's lives may take somebody with as much money and influence who's a true cowboy fan to get this ball rolling

Maybe Emmitt Smith or Irvin?

I'm not reading all that and I'm not reading past that first paragraph fans have nothing to do with this season is no different in New York than it is in Dallas I remember all the way back to the Cleveland brown days when they were super bad and they're still bad they still fill up their stadiums they still have support people are still wearing the jerseys I don't see where you're getting this from there fans no matter what Phillips stadiums this is not back in the day when they were blackouts and they couldn't fill up the stadiums I I don't get where you think that we are somehow coddling and making Jerry think that what he does is OK what do you mean what he does is it OK I mean what teams in the NFL are consistently winning 12 games every year that would be 36 wins two division titles and they've been to the playoffs 5 out of the last eight years that makes the league put us in prime time that makes the league more accountable than fans but fans are still filling up the stadium because we are relative it may just be in the regular season but we are winning games we are having winning seasons more than about 20 other teams or more we are better than 20 other teams on a regular basis and I know we should expect more and want more but nothing the fans do is allowing Jerry to be Jerry or whatever it is that you're insinuating that word created a monster no this happens all around the league you show me any team in the last decade that have been bad on a regular basis and aren't generally filling up their stadiums and having fans show up wearing the hats and the jerseys and cheering on their teams they're buying food and beer they're all doing it!!

So I don't even know where you're getting this from there is no protest there is no amount of this fan base unless it truly hits rock bottom you guys think three and three and being one game out of division league is hitting rock bottom how about you do that the next five years how about you finish the bottom 2 and never win a division title how about you be the Cleveland Browns who haven't even won a division title since the 90s it may even be 1986 is the last time the Cleveland Browns won a division that's the difference it's not the fans the fans are gonna come anyway it may not be the ******** fans but there are fans lining up to buy tickets to see games so when some of these season ticket holders let go of their licenses other people are gonna scoop them up and buy them there will always be Dallas Cowboys fans and I gotta say this just like any other fan base there will always have people interested in what they're doing fans do not at all in this day and age can affect with protest and changing the way they cheer or not cheer on their team or show up for games or talk about their team it's gonna change anything you don't think it doesn't the whole thing with the fire the GM did that work no Jerry just firing it back and he'll dig in his heels and prove he will and allow you to move the needle.

You let me know when we actually hit rock bottom and I'll let you know if I agree it ain't right now you can't just come off a 36 win campaign where you win two division titles inventor the playoffs three straight years and act like this is rock bottom have you looked around the league?.
Except these are the Dallas Cowboys a team that had a foundation of relevancy up until the last 30 years.
You say we had 3 seasons at 12-4… that’s fantastic!
And what did we get for it? Did the cowboys play in a championship game? Go to a SB?
You forget that we start the season at 4-0 and arguably 5-0 as those games are against the Giants, Deadskins / Commanders and yes the Eagles who we usually play well against.

We the fans are to blame, because we do buy tickets and merchandise etc… all to JJ’s pleasure!

You think he cares about this team? All he cares and orchestrates better than anyone in the sports world is that this team is relevant.
Hell he played the media and us fans right up to the season beginning… with Cee Dee and Dak knowing full well ahead of time that he was going to sign both.
But hey he waited till the season was just about to start and when the media were speculating what Dak’s status would be… before he dropped his bombshell.
Look now, the media and fans have all been speculating what’s wrong with this team?
Win or lose they are always relevant.
Jerry threatened some reporters because they asked questions that Jerry did not like. What happened afterwards?
The media and fan firestorm that ensued?
If you think JJ did not plan for this to happen… I’ve got news for you
You talk about all those other teams
Know what they all had empty seats and fans wearing paper bags over their heads…
Know what most of these teams made changes some good some bad… but the owners did something
Jerry doesn’t do anything unless it means more speculation by the fans and media…

Why did they not sign Henry???
Is it because as Jerry stated this team had no money? Or is it because after every game he has, someone in the media keeps stating how he would’ve signed with Dallas for less.
How about the speculation on McCarthy, Zimmer… need I say more?

All part of Jerry’s plan… cause at the end of the day… after all the tickets were sold and merchandise keeps getting sold… Jerry is smiling and listening to the tune of his wallet getting fatter.

Cause that’s all he and idiot Stephen care about!!!!
Keeping the cowboys in the news

And unless we the fans stay away and watch this team lose relevancy… nothing will change

Now answer me this… how many of you proud Cowboys supporters actually wore the team colors after the Detroit beat down????

Firstly, my passion for the team is probably a lot higher than it should be. Secondly, you may be right that he cares solely or mostly about money. However, he showed with his comments to the media that he's sensitive to criticism. If he's sensitive to it, then why not use that? Why not learn from our division rivals how to give brutally honest criticism to him? Sure, he'd make money, but this is about getting to his sensitivity. Or, if nothing else, the players may bring that message to Jerry that "Damn, since when did we play in Philly, New York, or Boston?".

Or at least, I can only hope that imitating our division rivals can bring about some much needed adjustments.
Because as I and others believe this sensitivity to criticism was all calculated by JJ.
look at the ensuing firestorm and speculation it created.
All good for business in JJ’s world…
Hell we all had a good laugh at the theatrics in pro wrestling
But honestly is this any different?

Who said we're proud this is like a family you're gonna have disappointments arguments fights you're gonna be disappointed to a point where you're mad and angry and then you make up and you move on each game is a different game it's a week to week league we need to move on you need to move on stop worrying about 28 years in the past you damn right I'll still wear my colors they already bought and paid for it and there's nothing to be ashamed about in my opinion all the teams that are 500 and below some of them with only one win we're only 1 1/2 games out of first place and that's only because we didn't play this week we were only one game out of first place and they act like the sky is falling Prescott's not even had a losing season since he's been here and healthy where he starts the season and finishes the season there's nothing to be ashamed about teams go through this.

I don't need to explain myself whether I'm proud or not proud you wear your hats and your colors when you feel like it I'll grab one off my rack if I'm in the mood whether it be the Texas Longhorns or The Mavericks or the Rangers which I finally bought a hat they won a championship you know it took her from 1970 up until 2023 you want to do the math there should we not have been proud Mavericks, Rangers, and Stars fans when they're not winning?! you do realize that all three of those TEAMS ALL together have only have three titles between them... i guess those fan bases should just ....ir stuff and never wear it ever again what an embarrassment i mean nothing to be proud of to take 52 years to finally win one title why buy tickets, food, and gear? BUT THEY DO!!!!!!!!! , oh and jerry says hello he has three by himself since 1989 , putting those 3 PRO teams to shame having 3 and they only have 3..hmm burn down AA Center its an embarrassment 2 titles in how many decades between them?OH wait how did the lowly rangers get 2 new stadiums before their very first title? Must be shallow greedy owner they didn't earn it how dare they!!!

here's a fun fact since 1989 only there's only 3 teams that have 3 championships or more in the NFL hmm NE, KC and Dallas. Go figure, KC took 52 years to get back to glory. Wow shameful burn your gear KC!!! nope 52 years they filled stadiums and cheered on their teams wore their gear proud like real fans. and eventually it came back..

The fact is the real fan bases the real diehards they don't give up on their team when they're having bad seasons or bad runs of seasons which we have not had losing in the playoffs is not something to be ashamed about is something to be disappointed about but going to the playoffs 5 out of last eight years and not having losing he said when you have your starting quarterback healthy it's something to be positive about not negative going to....is something to be positive about yes we should feel upset, disappointed and all those things but NEVER ashamed!!

i get people being angry upset and disappointed. BUT never ashamed, yes i am a pride Cowboys fan move aside or hide your eyes!!!!

It's fully on the fans. After 30 years of failure, this stadium is still full of fans and all kinds of gear is being bought. If people keep supporting your failing formula, why change?
