Truth: They have made losing acceptable

[Diehardblues]

Oh brother! I just read the title...that's all it took. Anyone that played the game, at any level would laugh at this take.

Perhaps it’s a little harsh but the bigger point is winning isn’t the top priority or our owner would make some wholesale changes at the top.

Unless of course fans are aligned with Jethro that no one could do a better job than him.

Did you think the Cowboys would never lose again? It's one loss and you are acting like the sky is falling. Sure it was an embarrassing loss but on any given Sunday, this is possible. You can not be so reactionary to one loss. No, it's not two blowouts in a row at home. It's a new season with a new DC, a new defensive scheme, and new players. They can quickly fix what hurt the defense on Sunday so let Zimmer do that and stop counting Dan Quinn's playoff loss against the present team.

The sky is never falling with this organization. And personally my sky is fine.

The one word theme we heard post game yesterday and even the day after from Jerry, Mike McCarthy, Dak, Micah and Cedee, and anyone else talking after that 44-19 beat down home loss was…”unacceptable”. Yeah, Blah, blah, blah.

Cowboys‘ fans reaction should be: “Oh really? Because last January, after the most embarrassing playoff loss in Cowboys history, that’s what you also told us then. Why don’t you start showing us instead of telling us.”

If that playoff loss to the 7th seeded packers in January was really that “unacceptable”, then why do we still have the same GM, EVP, head coach, starting QB, star WR, and the so called generational defensive talent that surrendered a collective 92 points at home in the last two home games? The obvious and truthful answer to that question is: Because losing IS acceptable here.

Let me put it another way: If losing were so unacceptable, why do we have the same people in charge year after year after 28 years? Yeah, I know, that same guy in charge also owns the team, and the coaches and players he’s chosen to pay the most have sucked too. But the guy at the top and his DNA entitled son never admit fault or receive any accountability. THAT is what has most created and contributed to this fat, bloated and lazy culture that basically winks and offers platitudes after getting their posterior shot off at home.

As far as I’m concerned, the most important people associated with this entire organization have clearly made losing completely acceptable. Because nothing changes with the people most responsible.

You complain and complain and complain, mostly about Jerry Jones. And you answered your own question. He is the owner. He's not going anywhere until he dies. Seriously guy, get over it.

Some fans care more about winning than the actual players and owner, let that sink in. I used to be all in, but now the Cowboys game is my weekly comedy sitcom.

Excellent OP. This is why I am constantly hyping sports news media badgering Jerry Jones about his competency as a general manager. They have access to the man, if-and-until Jones strips them of that access, lol.

Jones is a living contradiction. He is a businessman. Football is a part of his businesses.

It is a common business practice to replace managers when results do not match set goals. Jones has not met his stated goals since 1996. He has annually failed in managing the team in being as successful on the field as he constantly tells everyone. He will not replace himself, while he is alive.

His obstinance is entirely selfish. His inflexibility spits in the face of a practical business decision. Doing the right thing will not cost the man money, power or fame. In fact, doing the right thing will almost certainly net Jones more money, power and fame.

I’m just tired of losing with the same people in charge.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Jerry’s the best GM for the job according to the owner Jerry.

This past Sunday I wasn't watching the game, I was driving back with a buddy from a Yuma, AZ dove hunt. Life is too short to waste it on the Cowboys from here on out. My father who's in his 80s just records the games and if they win, then he'll watch it. I may be following his lead very soon.

Good for you and your Dad.

I’ve been a fan since ‘71 and I will not invest my time centered around game time anymore. Been that way for a couple years now. I’d much rather play golf here in SW Florida.

The Cowboys have become the Al Davis Raiders at this point.

 

[CowboysRule]

I’m just tired of losing with the same people in charge.

Then find a new team. Jerry isn't going anywhere until he dies. And then his son takes over. And he will likely leave the team to his son. And so on and so forth. We will all be long dead before someone not named Jones owns the team.

Not in the sense you present. Relook with basis on nature of the sport.

Here is a posted article on the game:

Cowboys news: Mike Zimmer takes responsibility for defensive collapse​

Stop here.

With good leadership. Right here is exactly what happened. Immediately with non-execution, this is exactly what good leadership does. It accepts responsibility at the level responsible requires. It did happen immediately and at DALLAS!

The fan clamor this is dysfunction of Jerry, Dallas, or just being a Cowboy...due to a single loss just doesn't suddenly become real, reasonable, of applied art of real management of a sport franchise, much less a team.

Leadership principals include: responsibility; monitoring; analysis of after action; accountability at the level of dysfunction; and redirecting to solve the problem....not cry.

Step up coach, good to have you coach Zimmer, welcome to Dallas. This fan is proud to have you here.

This next game, have your defense just answer the bell and deliver a punch to the Ravens jaw!

 

[MikeT22]

Primary goal is making $$$. If they win some, great.
If they fail miserably again, well, they will be back next year to make some more $$$.

Alright coach, we're waiting on this defense

Business is always to succeed....that doesn't imply that is cause for product also to not be competitive in sport. In business, if you don't like product at it's base...change product. Dumb shopper?

I'm a Cowboy fan and don't just chunk rocks on this site...buddy. I defend my team.

"We will fix this!" because we are all in.

We're beating a dead horse.

Look at the offseason and tell me that Cowboys front office seriously thought this would be a winning season? What exactly did they do to improve this team? Look at the RBs? Look at the DL? Both are worse off than they were last year.

The only area where I am surprised at the poor play is the safeties, which I thought would be better, but maybe I should have seen that coming too.

I have to believe the Cowboys front office, for whatever reason, chose to sit al let the team deteriorate this offseason. I have no idea why. They could have created CAP space to sign some players. They didn't.

People will point to the draft but every team in the league drafts players and every team thinks their draft picks are just great. Now we see our picks show potential but they are playing like rookies and are not as good as the players they replaced. The team is less for it. But of course we expect them to go blow out the Saints anyway because they are the Dallas Cowboys.

I have no idea what the front office has planned for next year. I suspect Jerry will fire MM and hire Bill Belichick, who is the coaching equivalent of Linval Joseph. He was once effective but may be past his prime now. If MM won something this year, it would be hard to fire him and hire Belichick so Jerry needed to tank this season on McCarthy. In the meantime, he will sign Dak, CeeDee and Micah so Belichick isn't completely sandbagged when he takes over the team.

 

[Diehardblues]

You complain and complain and complain, mostly about Jerry Jones. And you answered your own question. He is the owner. He's not going anywhere until he dies. Seriously guy, get over it.

It’s very difficult to get over it when it’s the core cause this era.

All we can do is accept and or tolerate either walk away and ignore or continue bringing attention to it and calling him out.

Personally I applaud those who conduct an activist type role in forcing him to respond to these public outcries regardless if he takes no action.

 

[Blackspider214]

Micah Parsons was so upset after that “unacceptable” loss yesterday, he did a podcast today.

Did he get into Twitter fights? Dude is so corny lol. He is not even close to being a leader. He runs his mouth constantly but is a no show when we need him the most. But don't worry, he will rack up empty stats against the Giants.

Unless of course fans are aligned with Jethro that no one could do a better job than him.

No, he is trying and retains always a competitive talent level.

Never were a scout at any level apparently.

 

[Diehardblues]

Correct, and as Jethro has said “ relevant and interesting” is the priority.

No doubt that’s been enough to remain most popular generating the top revenue. Well done. Mission Accomplished !!

I suppose some also believe he is the only one who can get the job done .

 

[Blast From The Past]

Need to go back to the only two coaches we’ve had under Jerry who made everyone’s life miserable after a loss. Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells. Any Hall of Fame coaches available?

I think those coaches made life more miserable for the players after win actually.
