With 2024 a lost season, what lies ahead?

[jazzcat22]

Not even Jerry is stupid enough to blow up a 12-5 team. It's easy to say now, hindsight is always 20/20

I agree they didn't need to blow it up. Wish they would be more aggressive in adding talent as primes never last as long as we all want them to.

Right, no need to blow it up.
But a lot needs to be corrected. Starting with an entire new coaching staff, and young and innovative coaches.
I think if they get that, many players here will be better as they will feel they will be held accountable. The new staff can say, EARN the STAR, but without actually saying that.

However, it all starts at t he top. Jerry needs to dump his ego, and let the coaches coach, select his own staff. And be involved in player selection.
It would be like hitting the lotto, but it happens.

They should in 2 weeks when we are officially at the seasons over point (even though we are now ) the cowboys should be putting out feelers back door - to see which candidates are genuinely interested in coaching here. Would belichick? Would vrabel? Would we meet or would Ben Johnson be interested? Aaron Glenn? Flores? Deion? (not what I want at all but still) and weigh that vs the potential of bringing McCarthy back.

They have a chance to have a head start on doing due diligence on what they want as a head coach and who would be interested. They should use this time wisely, I’m of the belief that I don’t think it’s a done deal that McCarthy is gone- it would not shock me at all if Jerry brings him back selling us on injuries.

With 2024 a lost season, what lies ahead?
Story by Richard Paolinelli, 11/16/2024

After last Sunday’s blowout loss to the Eagles, barring a miraculous turnaround, the 2024 season is a lost cause for the Dallas Cowboys.

Monday night’s game against the Texans is shaping up to be Dallas’ fifth home loss. At 3-7, the Cowboys would seemingly be all but officially eliminated from the playoffs.

Prior to today’s games, the Cowboys have just a 4% chance to make the playoffs among the 16 NFC teams. Only the Saints, Panthers, and Giants have worse odds.

Right now, Dallas can only play spoiler for the NFC East title and playoff seedings over their final eight games.

Once the season mercifully comes to an end after Jan. 5th it will be time for the Cowboys to look ahead to 2025.

Here’s where they should be looking:

• The Front Office
• The Quarterback
• Running Back
• Wide Receiver
• Tight End
• Offensive Line
• Defensive Line
• Linebackers
• Defensive Backs
• Kickers
• Will This Happen?

The same guy that said to me "so this needed a thread" is the same guy who doesn't even write his own posts, he "borrows" them from other creators online, I mean you can't even get their thoughts, they're too important for you to bother them!!!!

This team is a product of the Front office. They don't know when it's time to make a change. When they do make a change it's the wrong one. Football isn' the top of list for Jerry. It's the Show. The stadium curtains was a good example. Jerry has them open because the show looks better. He likes the light beams on the field. There will be changes but not to build a championship team. The change is just to pacify the masses to keep the show going.

Another lost season in 2025.

why isn't anyone talking about this more???? He wants it this way, it looks better to see the bright lights there

 

[Bagman]

All Jerry and Stephen will say is we were victims of bad luck. Way too many injuries. They think with good health next yr, we're going to the Super Bowl. Nevermind adding about 20 talented players to the roster.

The idea of McCarthy returning crossed my mind a week or two ago.

Not that it’s something I’m behind, but something I could see happening. Here’s the logic in no particular order….

-MM will never get them over the top given the FOs refusal to find cap space for free agents (among other things), but can’t say he has been flat out awful, especially given the circumstances.

-Jerry wont want to start over on offense with his coddle cat Prescott, and if Moore turns him down, MM makes sense. Jerry would have to hard sell the fans on either.

-I’m not so sure HC candidates with options are going to line up to work in this circus. The roster is in natural decline and the FO doesn’t see it. It’s next to impossible to succeed and fans aren’t at all the only ones who see that.

-Probably at the top of the list, they aren’t going to want to pay for a HC in terms of annual salary or years, and Mike would probably take an extension of two years, maybe even one.

It sucks to have to say it, but I already understand that whoever the next HC is will fail. My hope lies in several bad seasons in a row with Jerry pushing 90 gets us some real change at that point. Jerry isn’t there yet. Still has to prove to the world that he can do what Jimmy did, and we are along for the ride.

Frustration and disassociation. That’s all that’s left.

What lies ahead????? Really????
----- The same that has been going on for decades. Pride goes before destruction

 

[Bing]

The last 29 years have been lost seasons. What is the difference between being 5-12 or 12-5 if the team never advances though the playoffs? Exactly, nothing. The goal of every team is to win the Superbowl which unfortunately will be something this team will never do again based on the current ownership.

correct feels a lot like 2020 and its not falling off cliff type season that wil extend into multiple losing seasons imho

we have the core with some young year 2-3 players that will improve but need new general with great staff to get a healthy team back on track.!!

Yep, you know it's coming. You can almost predict it word for word. Truth is before the injuries they weren't very good. The injuries just give Jerry an excuse

There's no point if you need more you can go away we don't need you as a fan base because this is one of the most ridiculous perspectives and narratives I've ever seen in sports literally the fan base for the other 32 teams how many of those are regularly getting to the Super bowl or deep playoff runs literally since 1989 there's only three teams that have three or more Super Bowls and that would be the Dallas Cowboys Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots everyone else it's spotty at best there have been far worse droughts literally it took 56 years for the Kansas City Chiefs to get back good again to get back to the winning a Super Bowl there are teams out there with no Super Bowls there are some with just one we're waiting at number six your perspective means nothing it's absolutely useless if that's all you expect is you have to have your team live up to your demand that they better have deep playoff runs or you won't watch and you don't see the difference between 5:00 and 12:00 and 12:00 and 5:00 it's called winning games being relative IE we won two division championships along with 36 games and five times in the last eight years we've been to the playoffs Prescott himself has never had a losing season when he's been healthy..

You're damn short that makes a difference I'd rather be watching that where my team has his chance every year where other teams don't even get that close hell the Cleveland Browns haven't even won division, and you act like winning a division is a small thing that's because you're a small thinking person!!!!


I'm sorry but if that's what you think that there needs to be things attached to your fandom that you've created some weird rules like it's a contract or you won't follow which makes no sense because all those losing teams out there they fill their stadiums they also buy gear they also support their team no matter what without conditions attached to it...

that's not what real fans do, that's a bandwagon fan you only want to be around for the good times there's a huge difference the gap is insane between 5-12 and 12 being on prime time being called contenders whether it's ending badly I don't care it matters a lot... That's the difference between winning and losing the records it speaks for themselves it is very difficult to win 36 games two division titles and go to the playoffs three straight years but overall we've been a top 6 the last decade in the regular season as far as winning goes that's big because it goes to show you if you don't know the difference of how it would feel if you were actually real losers who didn't even have a chance at that to play in the playoffs to feel what it's like to win a division..

The first thing you have to do as a team is be good enough in the regular season to get into the playoffs and that's a hard task on its own for a lot of teams but to be second seed last year have a home game yes it was very disappointing but that is the difference between 5-12 and 12-5 that the season was not a waste it was not a lost season literally that's not what sports are about..

or why would the Texas Rangers have not just up and move why do they have empty stadiums won their first championship since 1970 it's a matter of fact with this weird conditions you put on the three other professional sports teams in our area The Mavericks Rangers and stars only have 3 total championships in their entire damn existence that's three Jerry has three of his own the Cowboys have 5!!!​

​

so yeah be patient, I realize it's frustrating but you make no sense this is the worst narrative on the Internet I know you're not the only one it's dumb it's a dumb narrative these expectations and conditions are not what real fans do you just have to ride out the bad times but there are worse things that can happen than what we've been experiencing here the last decade fireworks this whole 29 year nonsense we're not even the longest drought 56 years that was Kansas City jump to win another championship there are some that never have won no the Cincinnati Bengals had 31 years between their losses yeah they're Super Bowl appearances that's longer than our drought from our last win..​

So with this analogy 59 years of the 64 years in existence have been wasted. Including the seasons before the SB. As they did not win the NFL championship either.

 

[blueblood70]

Yep, you know it's coming. You can almost predict it word for word. Truth is before the injuries they weren't very good. The injuries just give Jerry an excuse

that's not the truth that's a fact that at that moment a healthy team didn't play well that doesn't mean with a healthy team which by far with your full complement of talent that the coaching staff wouldn't have figured out how to get it on track when you start losing that many players the damn breaks you do realize that right there's one thing to have two small cracks and a damn and then figure out how to get those cracks sealed up and now you're right back in it that is how it works in sports but you can't do that when every week you lose a key player and it ends up eight key these are lost before week 5 and they don't come back whenever they actually predicted they would like you don't think this team would have been any different at all had they been given the chance for Zimmer who couldn't use all his starters and was new to this team and there were rookies involved as well early on that he would not have figured out a better compliment and a better mix as they went on just like those teams who beat us like the Saints look like garbage now'cause at the time they had it together a few injuries a few weird circumstances and bam they fell off a Cliff the dam broke that is how it works this is about attrition you have to survive these things throughout the year but the healthier your team is with it stars intact those stars can actually get things going and on track but when you lose them every week you can't do it so it is not the truth then you say the truth is no the truth is at that moment those two games it looked like garbage but that does not mean you couldn't have turned it around so I don't wanna hear the nonsense 'cause you have no proof it couldn't have that's the point we're trying to make when you lose superstars when you lose some of the key players especially at 2 positions I mean we had no pass rushers we lost 4 pass rushers they were all four in order and we lost three corners and there were other injuries we lost our second wide receiver who wasn't healthy at the time that's maybe why he wasn't playing well but if he could come back sooner and this injury didn't happen it would have been better and then you had lamb and now you have dak it's 2020 all over again and after that what happened in 2021 immediately turned it around so yeah....d no shot of getting it back on track...

Agreed at least prior to 1996 we had hope for an effort to win titles, we all no know Jerry is a sham and if we win a championship that is simply gravy on top of his bottom line.
