We bought into the hype

[Noclaf]

Again this fan base bought into the hype from everyone. I think we forgot how bad this team was last year until Copper showed up. It's clear now that this team is no where near as talented as the hype machine said they were. Very average roster, and some really bad spots that this team has never tired to fix

 

[MikeB80]

Speak for yourself.

I laughed my *** off when I watched Bill Jones ask Jerry Jones in training camp if this was the most talented team since the 95 super bowl team and he said yes.

Ridiculous.

It's easy to sell people on what they want to believe. I've been a regular customer for ages now.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I thought they would be better than average for sure but they're not.

 

[MojaveJT]

I’ve been a fan long enough not to buy into salesman Jerry or what any of the players say in TC.

I wait until I see the product in season. I always expect greatness but not surprised this is what we get.

4 games to go.

Why is everybody giving up? Shouldnt we support our Cowboys until we are mathematically eliminated?

Just get in.

That’s the conflict of interest when the owner and GM wear the same hat. Ones job is to promote the product the others is to build it and be accountable.

Jerry does a much better job at one than the other.

Did you watch that game? This team is terrible. It's been decades of this crap.

 

[Mr_437]

We who?

Then go root for the 49ers!!

I quit drinking JJs koolaid a long time ago.

I want some of what you are on!

 

[ultron]

I didn't buy into anything, I just root for my team to win and as a fan that's all you can do.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Agreed. That’s why I say we trade players for picks and other players and cut/fire/release the rest. Start out fresh.

 

[Risen Star]

No. You bought into the hype.

Good point about Copper though.

 

[Shinaoi]

The rams playoff game I felt like some things happened that were somewhat abnormal for last year. And then those same issues persisted all this season.

I can root and support the Cowboys while at the same time understand realistically where the team is. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. I would know, as most of the others here, because I have been doing it for more than two decades now.

At this point I'd rather be surprised instead of let down. Does not mean I cheer for or support them any less than I did when they were winning Superbowls.

Hype is just hype and at this point it has been so hyped for decades that it's just overhyped nonsense really. Show it or shut up about it.

 

[Runwildboys]

They're like any other team, in that they want the fans to believe in them. That's what sells tickets and merchandise. As for us falling for the hype, I think only the most optimistic went all in. A good portion of us just hoped....and still do.

You mean how they showed everyone how to make our defense look like children?

I have no doubt anymore that the Rams exposed us.
