Why can't "they" just let the Cowboys be?

[cmoney23]

Won't change until the confetti drops on us!

Do you really think it will change in the event we do win?

IDK, man. Everyone is a hater and they will just move the goal post.

 

[BLEU3ASY]

It’s all about engagement sir. Clicks, likes and views.. the more engagement the bigger the profit. They will NEVER let Dallas just be.

It doesn’t fit their narrative, you should be able to distinguish this because you get a lot of that on here, right in your own backyard. The only difference is the pros are getting paid and the joes are… I’m sure you can finish the sentence. Lol.

If I see 'Trouble in Big D?' one more time..

I caught some of the Fox postgame show, and right on cue Strahan went into full Giants mode: “Who cares if they won? I don’t. I only care about the playoffs and how they’ll collapse if they get there.”

Now ESPN is running with: “Are the Cowboys a playoff team?”

Here’s the thing—I don’t see this kind of coverage with any other team. Why is it always different with the Cowboys?

This team came into the season with low expectations, and I don’t think that’s really changed. But can’t they just cover Dallas the same way they cover everyone else?

Criticize? Fine.
Praise? Fine.
Cover? Absolutely.

But why does it always have to swing to extremes—either complete dismissal or overhype?

For a franchise that hasn’t made a championship game in 30 years, the nonstop “all or nothing” narrative just doesn’t make much sense.

When their jealous I'm happy

This is something jerry created and constantly nurtures. Just ignore it.

People get upset because we're overhyped every single year and the media lavishes attention on us regardless of whether we suck or not,,,, only to have us do the embarrassing annual face plant in front of everybody. Until they actually do something in the playoffs people are going to doubt the hype, and for good reason.

The reason they won't stop talking about the cowboys is because they don't have anything else to talk about that anyone actually cares about. It's all about getting the ratings. It's all about getting the clicks and the likes.

Because they are America’s Team, irregardless of the quality they put in the field

 

[SoCalBoy]

There are only two names in America that anyone actually cares about. One is the cowboys and we already know what the other one is.

Jerry would have built a winner without Jimmy
Dak would have played good enough to win it all
30 year drought would be over
No more talk of playoff futility beyond the divisional round

What else could they negatively harp on?

 

[tunahelper]

jerry has nothing to do with it

Jerry has EVERYTHING to do with Dallas. What rock have you been under?

Clicks. No more complicated.

'MERICA'S☆TEAM.

Because it gets ratings, simple as that.

Just cause someone from NFL pulls a nickname out of his arse does not make it true. Anyone who has actually seen the bulk of Cowboy fans in the state knows they are Bubba's team. And they will soon be Mexico's team.

Ok? I’m sure most of us still see the Cowboys as America’s Team

Fair enough. Just bugs me that a producer from N.F.L. Films comes up with a nickname just to hype up one of their mini movies about Dallas.And somehow the rest of the country is supposed to forever buy into it.

 

[Creeper]

I don't listen to any of the talk anymore. Those guys are paid to talk football and fill time. Whatever they say, who cares?

But he isn't wrong, is he? They beat the Jets. Big deal. If the Eagles beat the Jets would they spend 10 minutes talking up the Eagles? Of course not. Everything Cowboys gets blown out of proportion - except how bad Jerry Jones is as a GM.
