I understand but it appears a fair discussion if our defense has been properly addressed.

And if they’re capable and or have the talent to fix it.

I’m glad you believe they will. Time will tell. Until then some fans aren’t as satisfied.
I really don’t know what a coach is going to do to offset the DL being manhandled. That’s not a scheme thing.

They played well in Cleveland but they were missing both tackles. I guess that’s about right. They will be fine against teams that have injuries or are rebuilding, and get trucked against the better ones.

Stephen thinks it’s about the ball bouncing the right way instead of having capable DTs. And there’s the problem….somewhere between delusion and not at all being any good at roster building.

Fans are never satisfied. Even when the Cowboys win, fans complain that they didn't win the right way.
that's the WRONG kind of thinking right there my friend. With wins, things get masked and looked over, same problems we had in the win, show even bigger in the losses

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.
Does he actually respond? I guess he did earlier this year when he said he's the best at it. But rarely does he ever acknowledge it. He can just go sit on his yacht and watch the water while you all complain. He doesn't care about you. Never has, never will.

He at least indirectly addresses the criticism . Acknowledge it rarely. Although he did say he’d of fired a GM with his record .

He only cares about fans continuing to support financially and why he hypes his product while providing excuses or explanations and sometimes scapegoats .

Obviously he isn’t willing to take the necessary actions needed. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep the pressure on. I get some satisfaction and sleep a little better at night knowing I voiced my objections. Thanks

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.
I feared this would happen after Jimmy left. Many thought JJ was a Davis clone at that time.

Agreed.

The Jones cannot see and would not accept the fact that their involvement in every facet of the team is a deterrent.
No coach can succeed big under the scrutiny, dysfunction, and hype that comes with coaching the Cowboys.

This team requires a coach with full roster authority and they must not be subject to Jerry oversight (aka need a GM between). The team requires one message from the staff with a STRICT football focus only mandate. Without this authority and structure the scrutiny, dysfunction, and hype will continue to erode any/all talented teams we assemble. End result will be the Hollywood Cowboys will not win another Superbowl.
Well said!

Some fans just don’t have it in them to critique their team. Everything is fine .

Hop on the Homer wagon. All aboard. Go Cowboys!!

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.
No accountability from the top on down. I’m just hoping a miracle happens and the players come together led by the veterans and right the ship.

Micah Parsons was so upset after that “unacceptable” loss yesterday, he did a podcast today.
I'm glad the more moderate fans like you are on board - this is not hate...but tolerance turned into DISGUST. I was criticizing Micah's podcast last year. Why? Because in order to do so you MUST get over the loss to go talk to the camera. That means comforting lies will be told to yourself...and then to the team (see Dak).

Serious question: Dak just got a guarantee of 1/4 of a billion dollars...what's the urgency?

"Get your money Dak...". Well, now he has it whether he performs or not. Whether he cares or not.

It all goes back to that. We had a HC who was in control and won back to back championships but that wasn’t enough for owner to stand down and just enjoy the success. The rest is history.

I don't know. Maybe try a 5 man front. At least to create one on ones across the line. The Pack employed that against us in January and our line had no answer. Point is, the coaches have to keep trying different things in hopes of some success. We just trotted out the same front 4 every possession and got steamrolled

Best post of this season so far!

These are all great questions and the simple answer is Jerry and son do not put winning (real winning like deep playoff runs) above just having fun with the franchise and playing fantasy football with an actual NFL team. To the Jones boys, winning would be nice but not at a cost of giving up their power over all football operations.

With Atlanta And Minnesota And Maybe Some Other Teams Making The Push, More Competitive And Making The Cowboys Look Mediocre..

We have To Believe This One Season Is a Win Or Bust..? A-- BUST....

Dumb Jerry Putting This Amount Of Pressure On Players And Coaching Staff Mike McCarthy Is Simply Ludicrous..

Who Would Want To Play Under This Conditions? Folkes Were Not Going Anywhere In Cowboys Lame Duck Season..

Right because only the fans lose. The Jones family OTOH, keep getting richer, and players keep getting paid.
You can get paid too. Placing bets against Dallas if we play a Shanahan team or a late season road game vs a good team. It's up to you
