With Jerry running things he is the perpetual excuse that transcends time.

He is the only constant that keeps us wallowing in the mud puddle of mediocrity always a couple puzzle pieces away from really competing in the tournament.

One playoff win and out is our ceiling adjust your expectations and just live with it no excuses necessary it just is what it is and that is just as good as it gets with Jerry running the show.
We can’t ever base our expectations on Jethro’s hype.

This thread quoting a known Cowboys troll is just another attempt to set the Cowboys up for ridicule if they don’t go deep in the playoffs which most sound analysts and Cowboy fans know isn’t likely .

Yes, if this looks like another Chaz situation and "Next man up" "We do what we do" then I'm gonna want this coaching staff gone for sure.

I know man, I responded to another guy that it's almost as Steele is a fluke now regarding Philbin and his developmental skills because in my eyes the whole OL looked poorly coached down the stretch last season. Philbin might be another Nolan.

And then there's HC and OC.

Yup, you're right.

Quinn needs some help!

They didn't make a run last year. This year, they have a first place schedule and more question marks on offense.

I'm not expecting a playoff run. I'm not even sure they're a playoff team.
We might not be if we weren't in the East. There’s certainly no other division we’d be picked to win. We are probably at best a 5th- 7th best team in NFC. And that’s assuming no one else has upgraded their talent more like Minn, Chi, NO, Wash, etc.

It's funny, you make these threads with no statement like you aren't bias...

No matter what happens... if we dont win the SB, you will blame Dak. If we do win the SB, you will give everyone else the credit.

You must suck at arguing your football points in person, and that's why you troll here.
Yea, it’s basically Trolls looking for trolls in the media to blast their bias. Nothing new here.

Put it this way.
They can't beat 3 to 4 consecutive playoff level defenses, coaching staffs and QBs even while fully healthy.
This would require a year where the GM, HC and QB1 were able to out perform all their other playoff team peers at those positions.

Highly unlikely is probably an understatement.

They will continue to entertain though.
Keep watching and stay tuned, lol.

Fun to watch.
I loved that Dallas drama with JR Ewing back in the day.
They're like that. Jerry's a good J.R.

And the excuses will still be a flowing like water.

Did you just insult JR? lol

Why try to bring logic into the media's strawman arguments. The only way to shut their mouths is to win it all. Playoffs, NFC Championships; nor being in the Superbowl, is enough; this team must win it all.

You get your takes from Shannon Sharpe and Cowturd and you think people take you seriously? :lmao: Dak obsessed troll.
I never liked Sharp but the dude played the game and was dam good and knows the game. I'm finding out his take on things is pretty close to the truth. Cowherd shouldn't have an opinion though.

Will the Cowboys need an excuse why they didn't make a deep playoff run OR will they ruin your doom and gloom by actually making a deep playoff run? I predict the latter. Go, Cowboys! :flagwave:

It all depends on injuries. The lack of depth could be the killer.

Does not having a good enough team to make a deep playoff run count as an excuse?

Funny thing Jake you will hear how we overvalue our players but in the next thread hear how they underperformed Then in other threads you will hear how some players have had "A great supporting cast" arround them and just cant get it done...then back to the thread about how the FO over values our talent...its a long winding road here in the zone.

"We like our guys" has several diferent meanings depending on who the thread is about....

excuses? I think there is a lot of emotionalism and negative fanaticism, that the Cowboys have a lot of talented players, sure, but if we compare it to teams like Philly and San Diego, only these two teams are far superior in terms of talent.

You have to be realistic and not want to see something that is not, Dallas does not have enough to be a contender. if we look at just one stat from preseason games we see the same problem Dallas ended up with last season; in 3 games Dallas had 35 penalties, for a loss of 296 yards!!!. this is a problem of poor training, coupled with the terrible management of the roster, of the Jones.

Taking the eagles and chargers as an example, these teams are armed to the teeth, you can see that they want to win, and despite having good players they arm themselves with more by making the right moves in the draft, via trade, and free agency .

Possibly Dallas is 3 moves away from much better and be a contenders, one, change the HC, second, select the best OL and CB in the next draft, and third get rid of overpaid players. Dallas this season will only be one of the bunch, they will give good games due to the defensive talent that they has, but nothing more.
