Our excuse is what? Injuries, right? Did our team look good in the Giants or Eagles team? Specifically the offense - the bread and butter of this team for years. Has our offense, at any point this year, including when healthy, looked good to you?
And I'm not making excuses for anyone. You're claiming teams are mailing it in. I'm saying theres a difference between mailing it in, and not being a good team.
You're such a good fan. I bet you'd never pick against the Cowboys even if you had a gun to your head, right amigo?
I'm calling it like I see it. We are not a good team. We were not playing well before the injuries started accumulating. We came off a 12-4 season, followed it with a great draft, went through training camp injury free (minus Scandrick), and we were all told to expect a Super Bowl this year. Opened the season with a prime time game against a division rival, at home, and we came out flatter than day old Coke.
Our offense looked putrid against the Eagles too.
And we blew an 11 point lead against the Falcons, again, at home... because we did what Garrett is prone to do - abandon the run game.
We let a baaaaaaad Saints team beat us. The Saints are a bad team - they'll be lucky to win 5 games this year.
Listen, Everlasting..... I used to be you. I used to be the homer fan who went into every year predicting a Super Bowl.
Maybe I'm not the best "fan" in the world. IDGAF. I'm frustrated as fuck with this team and how they've broken my heart year after year after year. I'm jaded. I'm aggravated.
Rank the teams with elite QB's in the league over the past 7 or so years. I'm talking the cream of the crop guys who I firmly believe Romo falls into that category.
In no particular order:
Saints with Brees
Packers with Rodgers
Colts/Broncos with Manning
Steelers with Roethlisberger
Patriots with Brady
You maybe could add to that list with the likes of Flacco, Eli, whatever.
Look at all those teams with elite.... not good.... ELITE QB's. They've all either WON SUPER BOWLS, WON CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS, or at least made it to conference championships.
Because honestly, in todays parity driven NFL.... all you need is good coaching and a stud QB. Those two things paired, and you should be there at the end of every year.
WE FUCKING HAVE THAT WITH ROMO and we've been mediocre. We get to one divisional round game.....
WHY? Because Jerry and Jason mismanage the fuck out of this team.
Everyone acts like we need to spend years "building" this team full of blue chippers. Steaks at every plate.
You can't do that in todays NFL.
God damn ... just talking about this gets me sooooo annoyed with this team. With the literally WASTED careers of a HOF DE, TE, QB. With ELITE LT, WR talent toiling. ETC.
This team has serious problems.
"Fighting" and "Competing" isn't good enough for me. Save that shit for when we have a mediocre QB but boy oh boy were in games until the end.
As is, we have a blue chip QB who basically owns every Cowboys passing record and who has statistics that mirror Rodgers in a few categories.
Injuries aren't a pass. Green Bay had a ridiculous amount of injuries when they won the SB. Cardinals had comparable injuries last year and they still won games and went deep into the playoffs.
But if injuries are your excuse, and you defend Jason... with this being his second season with all these injuries, ask yourself.... is he really "building" a great talent base? Because we're not winning a lot of games, and people are getting injured a lot. Is he building a team full of injury prone players? Is there something in his training regimine or in his team preps that make his team more succeptable to injuries? Or is he just the unluckiest fuck in the world?
Truthfully, IDGAF if you like my logic, if you think I'm a bad fan, or whatever the fuck you think.
