Dallas Cowboys Metathread - Oh No We Suck Again!

[NAVY 6740]

Unless this is a negotiation tactic with a good corch who will bring a gud QB with? Hummm. 
 

naww

Hahahahahhahahaha 

[Captain Obvious 516]

Screw it, sign Dak to a max extension and kill any sliver of hope for the rest of the decade.

[Vic Mackey 47012]

Remind me what the point of the Trey Lance trade was again?

[HRSchenker 2268]

100% the right move is to keep him for another year. If another playoff disaster happens next season you get to part ways with the coach AND dak prescott.

It’s the ol’ “Driving solo on a long road trip welp I’m horny let me rub one out listening to Mad Dog Russo because there’s nothing better to listen to and the shame will be short-lived” kinda move.

So you’re going to keep Dak on his last year at $59 fucking mil? Jerry is going to extend Dak so we’ll have him another 5 fucking years.

Just blow it up... including the owner.

That dude is so bad at reading defenses I'm convinced he couldn't read Green Eggs and Ham.  Like, he had years to get better with the Niners and never progressed to the level of being able to handle basic concepts.  Shanahan gave him the base level of the offense and he couldn't even make that shit work.  I bet they were thrilled when they got a 4th for him.  

Kind of seems like a trend with ol' Jerry.  QB who obviously doesn't have what it takes and nobody else wants?  Give up draft picks for him.  Old, mediocre-to-awful head coach that has been out of the league for years that absolutely nobody would consider to run their team?  Hire that motherfucker!  

[Irish Wrist Watch 1359]

From ESPN.com

A number of Dallas players, including quarterback Dak Prescott and left guard Tyler Smith, stood up for McCarthy following the loss to the Packers. They said they appreciated McCarthy's willingness to take care of their health and well-being during the course of the season.

Seriously, no one ever considers that.  Playing up to 3 more games in the playoffs just exposes players to more potential injuries.  Don't worry, Dak.  You're safe now.

We didn't want Dak to be lonely with his weak mental game so brought in a fellow traveler in the mental midget category.

[Horn80 6114]

I’m not surprised.  Should be fun.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

"I believe this team is very close and capable of achieving our ultimate goals and the best step forward for us will be with Mike McCarthy as our head coach," Jones said in a statement released by the team.

Oh, so by losing to Green Bay in the first round of playoffs, McCarthy helped his players avoid injuries by not having to play 3 more games.

[Jive Turkey 12594]

I’m not surprised.  Jerry is stubborn. Wants to prove his guy can do it.

Next season will be the same old, same old.

I really hope Dan Quinn finds another job elsewhere or isn’t retained. You just can’t lose a game like that to a 9-8 team who barely made the playoffs and not make some major changes. Running the whole thing back is the dumbest thing ever.

[Tired Horn 738]

Just blow up the owner. Get rid of the Jerry tumor, and the base team is good enough to work with.

Of course they did.

They're comfortable as hell.  That's why they got their asses boatraced on Saturday too.

Coming soon:  More of the same.  Hallmark Channel deviates more between shows than the fucking Cowboys do.

Fuck it, if Jerry doesn’t care, neither do I. Of course the billionaires buying the suites who don’t actually watch the games just drink and schmooze will keep funding this bullshit along with the hoards of viewers tuning in for the schadenfreude. I wish even one of my hated teams provided this level of joy.

My aunt lives in Dallas and has 4 really, really good seats.  She loves football and the Cowboys.  Has been a season ticket holder for 30 years. But she never goes to the game because she would rather watch on tv and tells me the ingress and egress traffic is horrible.  She just sells them every week and makes a ridiculous amount of money.  It sounds like there is still plenty of demand for tickets, per what she tells me she sells hers for.

My family has a ton of Texans tickets to the point we rarely use them all as a family.  And most are prime club level first or second row between the 40s.  When I sell them even when they are decent, I get maybe 1/3 of what she does.

[The Dog 44019]

 

[markstanco 12572]

Looks like he is doing the Jason Garrett experiment again.  So we get to have McCarthy for at least 4 more seasons. 

[Newdoc 3439]

The whole organization appeared to be satisfied that they made the playoffs and weren’t interested in anything beyond that.
 

Your typical Cowboys fan is still going to delay the new roof they need for the house or forgo their kids’ 529 to continue buying tickets so they can be disappointed at the end of each season. 

[Irish Wrist Watch 1359]

There is ONE REASON and ONLY ONE REASON this worthless SOS won't fire McCarthy: He is the cheapest JA on the planet. He's probably got McCarthy tied down for a couple of mil a year, but going out and getting a real coach, who is real smart, innovative and commanding of respect, and who would actually give us a shot at a playoff win would cost FJJ 20+mil a year. That is all he's looking at. He is cheap, cheap and cheaper. The Cowboy fans, the Cowboy legacy, whatever, can go fuck themselves. They are just a necessary evil in FJJ's eyes. He will turn his back on us until the day he dies.

[YGIFS 19449]

Almost 30 years in Texas, with family here going back a century.  I really will never understand the cultish worship of Jerry Jones' Cowboys.  He could rename himself Jimmy Jones and offer fans $23 flavor-aids at the concession stands and people's dying wish would be suck his balls before their demise.  It's always somebody else's fault, he didn't lose-it was rigged, they just ran out of time, they just need one more chance to win, everything's gonna align just right if you just give him one more chance, it's everybody else that's out to get him, it's that guy over there, it's that lady that way!, it's gonna be different this time, I just need a few more of your hard-earned dollars, it's the media, the other side was cheating, things are gonna work out I can feel it!  

Same fucking bullshit year after year.  The fucking A&M of pro sports.  When you can't spot the mark of a confidence man, look inward.

[Sgt Hulk 13713]

It’s obvious the cowboys have zero desire to be a competitive football team 

[mdmost 43001]

Man, an entire offseason and regular season will have to be gone through just to see if the Cowboys can do better in the opening round of the playoffs with the same cast of characters. I mean some decade it's going to work, right Jerry?

[Guest]

Ya can't say Jerrah doesn't know how to manage expectations...

 

It's unfucking believable this guy has the business results chasing glory holes with his mindset, or maybe it has changed from his youth.  IDK, I just know my interest in the Cowboys is now just watching to see the wrecks.  They are Team NASCAR for me.

The best thing we can do is have apathy. Hate will still sell tickets and ad spots. We genuinely have to just let it go and not care.

On Sunday my wife's company paid for several seats at the "upscale" watch party at the Cowboys Club in The Star in Frisco. From what I heard tickets were well in excess of $100 a person.

We get there and it's a packed house with the typical white bread yuppie Frisco crowd you'd expect and Jerry's serving cold buffet food. Fucker didn't even spring for Sternos to keep the food hot. It was hilariously sad. What a fitting way to watch this rotten to the core soft franchise implode yet again.

Can't more bluntly show exactly how soft and unfocused this franchise is on winning than this. Keep this coach because he goes easy on us during the season so we won't get hurt. In football. WTF.

I'll be surprised if they make the playoffs next season unless the Eagles and the division just completely implode and they win it again by default. I think they hit the high water mark with this group last year and the slide back down really starts to show next season. Maybe 9 win team.

When you hear him or anyone else say that winning a super bowl is the most important thing, just laugh and change the channel. The most important thing to him is to always be in front of the camera. That's it.

[C-Man 27195]

Credit to Bob Sturm on the following information regarding Dak/Cowboys slow starts in four of their last five playoffs. The Cowboys are 1-4 in those games and the Cowboys trailed at halftime in all four losses, three by two or more scores. Let's take a look at those games:

• 1/14/2024 vs GB: The Cowboys trailed 27-7 at the half and Dak had 87 yards and had 1/2 TD/INTs ratio (Cowboys lose 48-32)
• 1/22/2023 @ SF: The Cowboys trailed 9-6 and Dak had 81 yards passing and 1/2 TD/INTs (Cowboys lose 19-12)
• 1/16/2023 @ TB: The Cowboys led 18-0 and Dak had 186 yards passing, 2/0 TD/INTs (don't have Dak's stats, Cowboys won 31-14)
• 1/16/2022 vs SF: The Cowboys trailed 16-7 and Dak had 89 yards passing, 1/0 TD/INTs (Cowboys lost 23-17)
• 1/12/2019 @ LAR: The Cowboys trailed 20-7 and Dak had 87 yards passing, 1/0 TD/INTs (Cowboys lost 30-22)

what he leaves off is "the most important thing to me, besides money, is winning a Super Bowl while I have the GM title and Jimmy Johnson is not the head coach"
