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.

That's where I am.  We've all seen shit like this before, but that last game broke something in my brain.

 That is all he's looking at. He is cheap, cheap and cheaper. 

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.

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.

 

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.

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?

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.

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"

Can we get someone in the organization to improve the line play? If we can’t run or stop the run, what’s the point?

Yep.  Campo was on the radio talking about how small the Dallas defense has been trending.  They desperately need help at LB.  Vander went down, Overshown got hurt, that fatty from MI was a bust.  It's easy to neutralize Micah by running right at him.  Injuries in the secondary

If Dallas isn't up and putting the other team in passing situations, they struggle

Micah needs to get off all social media.  Comes off a petulant child 
Yep. Skip gets paid big money to do what he does. No need to reply to him. LeBron has never replied or mentioned Skip once in his career even though Skip is on his dick every day.

To be fair to Micah, Skip is the biggest little bitch on the planet. Eff him. 

As to Jerry Jones, he’s been fleecing everyone for over thirty years and people just take it. I stopped going to games. I stopped watching a lot of games (not all). I stopped buying merchandise.

If everyone else would do something similar, it would at least stick it to him in his wallet. But people don’t care. They even line up to pay for part or all of stadiums, support tax breaks for the NFL, etc. It’s ridiculous. The rich have been fleecing the public forever, and building up insane levels of wealth while doing it.

I say it all the time, the building of new arenas and stadiums is the biggest rackets out there. Billionaires getting the working class to fund them. After funding it, we have to pay for parking, tickets, memorabilia, etc. We don't see any economic payoff. Owners see it all. They threaten to leave town to strong arm the public. Stop voting yes for these new stadiums that aren't needed.

The Stephen A Cowboy Hater and Skip Bayless Cowboy Lover schtick is fucking stupid as hell and annoying, and I don't even watch or listen, just see their tired ass shit posted to every fan page or comment. It's fake y'all, completely fake, stop pretending like these clowns are even a little big genuine.

Stephen A is right that it's a clown show. However it would make me respect him if when Jerry Jones is right in front of him, for him to call Jerry out. Jerry has been on whatever show with him and he did nothing but tell Jerry how great he is. It was pretty pathetic, tbh. He bashes the fans for believing in the owner, yet slurps said owner when he has a chance to call him out.

Micah needs to get off the Cowboys. I hate to think of Jerry ruining another HOF career without a Super Bowl. 
 

 

I kind of hope they trade him somewhere for 2 first round picks.  Love his ability, but think he's a mental midget and is only going to be cancerous in the locker room long term, especially at $30mm+

They are media personalities, paid big to garner attention and to be "edgy". When they were paired together, it was always SAS being big anti Cowboys and Skip was pro Cowboys. Cowboys are about the only team out there that has a love/hate relationship and everyone has an opinion. Most teams, no one really cares about one way unless you are a fan of them.

Anti Cowboys people get a big following just as Pro Cowboys media personalities.

Wouldn't mind seeing what we can get for him. Not sure what is play here but he isn't cutting it when it matters. Could be they are making him an every down DL that rushes the passer. But at this position, he is undersized. You can tell his body wears down over the season and as the games along. By the time the playoffs come along, he has no juice left. There was a time where we had him all over the field and he was more effective. 

But if he isn't effective here, no sense in giving them some massive payday he will command. But I don't see Jerry doing this as Micah is a big fan favorite. We will see how long that lasts if he's not doing shit when it matters most. 

Not a Skip fan but he's right. Micah does more talking on his podcast and Twitter than performing in the playoffs. All this talk leading into the playoffs about how they can be the next Legion Of Boom, then proceeds to get butt fucked in the playoffs by Jordan Love and an average GB team. Unit is always all talk. Same as when the DL deemed themselves the Hot Boyz years back. Our defense doesn't deserve to have any sort of nickname.

It’s not Micah’s fault that once the playoffs come around that the Cowboys are forced to play against talented and well coached teams.  He disappears in games because that is what good coaches do…take away the one person they feel can hurt them the most. How do you negate a great pass rusher? You run the ball right at him all game long.

I'd look at trading anyone of value at this point. I'd imagine Jerry at least made a call to Belichick and Bill told him something like "Here's the list of players I'd trade for draft picks (Jerry's favorites), and here's a list of players I'd cut for cap purposes (More of Jerry's favorites he's already overpaid). We're not going to be competitive next year, but should be back to being contenders by 2026" Jerry decided "Hell, I'll probably be dead by then. Let's just try again with what we've got"

Jerry Jones knows that guys like Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh aren't even gonna answer the phone for him. He knows he'd have to beg and grovel and concede some of his power to get them. That's why he made no effort to get them.

They drafted Mazi to be a 350 lb fire plug in the 1 gap. Instead DQ had him lose 50 lbs. he’s not big enough now. Hats stupidity on Quinn. I think we’ll be stuck with him again. Who would hire him and sell him to fans? Coach 28-3! Coach could stop 9-8 Packers with a bunch of rookies! Shitbag.

Mazi Smith lost 50 lbs?  He's listed at 14lbs heavier than his combine weight.

Fuckin' A, Mrs. Lamb! You ain't alone.

That said, sadly, it's hillbilly man gonna build back better.

He's gonna bring in another wunderkind OC like Jason Garrett or Twinletoes Moore. Guys who specialize in offenses that work great against shitty teams. Guys he can give a ten percent raise to when he makes them Head Coach. Save a shitload of money. Maybe he should hire a Sideline Clock Management Specialist (SCMS) so that Fat Mike can't fuck that aspect of the game up. How much are Quarterback Whisperers these days? (psst - man covered, don't throw).

Stephen turns 60 this year so hopefully not 40 years.

Maybe there’s a chance his mind will end up in a computer and he can run the team forever! Maybe Jerry will freeze himself and get revived too. Hot damn the future is bright

If Micah parsons was to beat skip bayless into a coma, not only would I buy his official jersey off of nfl.com but I’d wear that motherfucker to work every Friday and during every game for the entire season. 
 

and I haven’t even heard a word skip has said for at least 25 years.

Apparently the NFL has now decided that beginning next season, receivers will begin wearing harnesses with large chrome handles on either side of their back that make will it easier to grab onto them when they try to run a route. This was a response to the outcry from D backs that it was getting too hard to try and keep up with the receivers and it was requiring all kinds of exercise during practices.

Meh.  None of that shit matters if they win.

Players aren't necessarily responsible for wingnut family members running off at the mouth..
