This team is something I can't post

It's been this way for years. Lots of flash, lots of noise, lots of excuses, but this team has been BS - something I can't post - for years.

I'm an old fan. I've seen championship teams in the 70s and the 90s, but the 21st century Cowboys are something else. Same uniforms, far more exposure, lots of talk, but lesser results. They've been talking noise since 2007 - sixteen years ago - and they've delivered nothing, unless you hold parades for the occasional wild card playoff win.

Listening to this team's so-called leaders talk after the game sounds like they learned nothing - we didn't get our butts kicked, we just got tested. It's a delusional culture. Even when they get whupped, they really didn't get whupped. If you don't acknowledge your flaws you won't learn anything from them.

It’s clear Dak and MM’s offense isn’t the answer. We will likely win 9-10 games this season, but to your point, as soon as we face a decent team— expect the same outcome that we have see for years.

Truly disheartening and beyond frustrating

Not sure why you're apologizing. I've mentioned several times that I bet on the Cowboys doing exactly what they did because I've seen this movie before. That the team is saying what they're saying tells me to double down if these teams meet again in the playoffs. They've learned nothing, and they'll lose again. Bet on it. I will.

I suppose your comment just struck me as sad. Perhaps I’m just projecting my own feelings on the matter.

Dak can’t extend plays. If he could extend plays it would solve sooooo many problems.


This is why I would just move to Lance.

He desperately needs work and we know we aren’t winning anything with Dak.

It would be a crazy move to make but the games were winning with Dak just about any QB could win.

I'd rather not feel the need to make such comments, but these Cowboys aren't the Cowboys I grew up with. They just wear familiar uniforms.
I wonder sometimes if our memory is filtered by innocence and nostalgia.

Was it really so different then or is it simply that we simply lacked the transparency of modern media into what was.

White House

It was all washed by Tex and the media, including Rozelle and NFL Films (lol), all of whom were in on it.

And, ultimately, washed by success in a different era.

Should we consider taking care with Lance at this point or just throw him in the fire?

Just throw him out there and see what happens.

The Cowboys don’t have the cajones to do it though.

But even with all of that, they were still winners.

I’m right there with you. I’ve been a fan since the 70’s. This isn’t the Cowboys I grew up with. The Cowboys I grew up with were accountable and proud. They were worth watching. These Cowboys are not worth watching. It’s not fun anymore to be a Cowboys fan. It’s depressing. We seem to be talking about the same things year in and year out. Poor run defense, not showing up for big games, too much talking and no follow through, poor QB play, poor coaching, poor culture. It’s like 20 years of the same problems and no resolution in sight.

It’s just not fun anymore. Losing to the 49ers 2 years in a row really tested my fanmanship and now this loss is really testing me. Why do I care more about losing to the 49ers than they do. Seeing Dak smile after he throws a pick. Troy never did that. Neither did Staubach or White or even Romo.

Like I said, it’s not fun anymore.

As long as the Jones run this team it will be always the same result .

Agree. At this point, we are going as far as the D takes us anyway, so why not develop a gameplan for Lance and see what we got?

Of course, the FO will “rally” (I mean defend and excuse) around Dak after this L. They have hitched their wagon to him so I don’t see any big changes coming realistically.

But I guess we can dream right? Lol

I suppose. Can’t help but think waiting until next year might not give him a more realistic shot at being something.

I’m pretty sure Lance can throw 3 yards down the field or dump it to the RB behind the LOS. Lance can also throw interceptions and not read a defense. Soooo how’s that different from Dak?

Lance can run a lot better too. O well, we can dream but realistically that dream will have to wait till next year.

I don’t think JJ can quit Dak lol
