Shut up, puss. Your team ain't always gonna win. There are fans out there whose team has never even been to a Super Bowl, much less won five. You'll probably be in here talking if they make the playoffs.

QFT...GTFO with this, "I am embarrassed" crap. Houston fans have watched their team be not quite good enough for decades...from the losses in the AFC Championship games to the immortal Steelers in the 70's to the 90's with Gilbride's garbage Run and Shoot offense and the Buffalo debacle in the playoffs. I have stood by this team through year after year...and have had to start over with a completely new team.

So spare me with your "its hard to be a fan" garbage. You have ZERO idea what true loyalty looks like.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

You guys need to think what Lion's fans feel like. The Cowboys will be in the playoffs.

Last time and I'm done on this topic.
This is not about one loss. This is about a team that over time has lost its soul. Or, more specifically, sold its soul for wins. Except that now the wins aren't as easy to come by.

I'm not a bandwagoner. My only team my whole life has been Cowboys.

What's more pathetic is fans that aren't willing to take off their rose colored glasses and be objective about their team/franchise. Sorry, if you don't agree with my assessment of this organization. But, its my opinion, and thought its not worth a damn to anyon else. Expressing it in a meaningless forum like this can be therapeutic.

So thanks for the exchange, even as obnoxious as it has been.

The Lions would love to have an owner like Jerry. Correct me if im wrong but didn't The Boys win three rings since Jerry got there?

Yeah...but that was back when the NFL was like MLB and there was no salary cap.

The Cowboys remind me alot of how the Giants were last season. When Shockey was constantly ing about not catching any passes, Eli played like crap because we was steadliy looking for him all the time and often threw picks, or got sacked. I still remember that Minnesota game where he took like a 30 yard sack. Once Shockey got injured Eli calmed down and went on that Super Bowl streak. My point is, while you guys may have some problems, your main one is TO. Get rid of him and you guys will see the difference.

It's not about one loss? The Cowboys were 4-1 in the five games before this one. But you only care about the team's "soul" when they lose. Amazing that you don't see what a hypocrite you are.

News flash, kitten: The Cowboys have a chance to win 10 games and make the playoffs.

[Spurminator]

Any embarrassment I'd feel about being a Cowboys fan wouldn't have anything to do with the Cowboys team, but other Cowboys fans.

Agreed, I don't think this team will take the next step until TO is gone and out of Romo's psyche. Tony is looking his way first on almost every pass play now instead of just finding the open man. If I was Roy Williams (WR), I would be pitching a fit because Romo chooses to heave 50 yard bombs to TO in double coverage instead of taking the 15 yard in to Roy. That is pretty much what happened on the Ed Reed interception at the end of the half. Romo is not blameless in this either but I think TO dominates his mind when he drops back to pass.

As for Jerry, there is not an owner I would take ahead of him right now. He may be arrogant and full of ego but he cares about winning and bringing in the best players to give his team a chance to compete...that is all you can really ask for. I think more than half of the teams fans in the league would swap Jerry with their owner in a heartbeep.

we get in to the playoffs, we got a shot...are you scared of the cardinals, giants

Guess it's not just one loss after all.

Just saying.

[Findog]

The Cowboys problem is a complete organizational failure from the owner to the ballboy. Jerry thinks he's a GM and uses a roster spot on Pacman instead of a decent backup qb. Wade Phillips can't get his team ready to play. Romo tries to do too much. Garrett's play calling is getting mocked and criticized by his own players and the other team. Honestly, the only guys on the team I really like and respect are Witten, Ware, Folk and the punter, the one they had that got hurt.

[mrspurs]

Well said purist. Its not Americas team, its the JerryJonespringer Misfits team.

It takes balls to admit to being a fan of a ty team.

Sad but true.

[mrspurs]

Well, lets just say I'm over 40, and for Captn Mike's sake "I'm a man!"

I have faint images in my mind of the first super bowl loss to Baltimor and clearer images of Staubach rallying the team from apparent sure defeat against the 49ers in the divisional playoffs, back when it was still an uncertainly of who would be the #1 qb, Staubach or Morton.

If you think I am the reason people hate Cowboy fans, so be it. I expect more, a uv alot more from my teams than what Jones has brought, because I think he's taken more than given.

And yes, I enjoyed the superbowls of the 90s, but it many ways it was like taking a dose of bad tasing medicine -- you know it's supposed to be good for you, but it still tastes bad. But no, I never called for Landry's head; just like I've never called for Popovich's head nor Mack Brown's head. I believe there is something to be said for loyalty and commitment aside from the wins and losses of a season or two. In fact, I think I was more of die hard through Landry's last years when Dallas struggled. Why? because for the better part of my life that team had given me so much to be proud of, to be hoepful for, to feel a part of.

Now, 've stomached Jones for two decades and I'm not sure I can stomach him anymore. And I don't care how much the new stadium costs. It's irrelevant. You remember when Landry ran Hollywood from the team? WOudl he have put up with T.O.? Would Schramm? I know I'm comparing two different eras and maybe it's not fair to Jones. But I don't care. I see a future for the Cowboys that looks very much like the Raiders'. Who can say that Al Davis doesn't want to win? problem is he doesn't know how. Jones won when he acquiesced his ego to the greater good and relenquished football responsibilities to smarter football minds. It's no coincidence the Cowboys won with Johnson and then not again until Parcells.

I don't know why my opinion on this is offensive to anyone. why some are so willing to follow Jones so blindly. why some can't see that he cares more about himself than the greater good of an organization or a league. In the end, he will be richer for having owned the Cowboys, but I'm not sure the Cowboys will be any "better."

It isnt offensive. This site like all blog sites is filled with Playbabies who only read what they want to read. Romo is no different than Fab. The both of them are complete choke artists. Thats all they will ever be. And alot of people will follow those choke artists to their graves.

[samikeyp]

I'm not embarrassed to be a fan, but the players should be after yesterday.

I don't know if that is all Romo will ever be because his career is not over but so far, yes. Although I don't pin yesterday solely on Romo. There is plenty of blame to go around.

Geeezus Mikey what the was that yesterday? I was at the Ravens game yesterday and looked up at the scoreboard and wondered wtf?!

who gives a ...football season is over

As a Niner fan all I can say is, hope you enjoyed the team killing TO

That's the ing truth. I'm right there with you. I've been an Oilers fan for as long as I can remember. There are even pictures of me as a 3 year old wearing an Oilers jacket. It's been ing painful for so many years, especially watching the ans make the Super Bowl only a couple of years after that fat piece of Bud Adams moved the team. But I'm now a Texans fan, been a fan since day 1 and no matter what that team does I will support them.

According to Mark Friedman (1310 The Ticket Dallas radio), the Cowboys charter was not the sad, sullen, and despondent scene that one might expect. He described the scene as “like the last day of school”, with dominoes being played in the back and lots of laughing and carrying on. He said that he was reluctant to say anything, seeing as how the Cowboys are nice enough to allow media members on the charter, and that only leads me to believe that he may have muted the reality of what was actually going on. Friedo did not mention any specific names, nor did he say if alcohol was flowing, but he made it pretty clear that if you did not know who won the Cowboys-Eagles game, you just might assume it was the Cowboys from their conduct on the plane.
