[@mh_golfer]

Nothing will get me to buy into this team. I will enjoy watching the games, but I have no faith or expectations in them doing anything in the post season.

[@jakerivendelli]

💯

[@gregorylewis4370]

You have no reason to be excited. Last year was their best opportunity to get to the nfc championship game and they lost in the first round as 7 point favorites at home

Selling the team. We can't win with this miserable front office

[@jasoncole7531]

Yes I definitely agree the cowboys will not win another Super Bowl until Jerry Jones goes away as the owner he wants hands on on everything and it is preventing the cowboys from getting to the Super Bowl Jerry jones ego is to huge for him to get help which is sad

[@OfficialFamosMuzik]

Dak fans are still defending the choke sessions in the 1st half of games with play from behind stats against prevent defense and 5-6 wins in the weakest division so like the last 3 seasons, it will be fun watching the defense. Nothing else.

[@bdgrey]

The only people who say this are people like you who make up arguments in your head and then present them as fact. No one thinks Dak played well in the GB game. I also love how you claim that a division with 2-3 playoff teams every year the last 3 years is the weakest division in the NFL. Where are these divisions with 4 teams making the playoffs?

You're waffling on beating the crap out of San Fran, in San Fran?! TF! Hell yeah, that changes my perception and gets me fired up for the season!

[@nubby2790]

Improved running game and better DL play especially stopping the run will greatly excite me for this season. Drafting Guyton and Beebe improved the OL but the DL is still a question.

[@mosesw17]

Right they are crazy.. zero run game and not being able to stop a nosebleed on the ground was part of the issue the last 3 playoff losses.. hell if we actually have a run game Dak don't have to throw the ball 60 times vs green bay

Wait. This show is called The Fan, yet you have no emotional connection to the team. Wow, paycheck must be good.

[@MarcoAspaas]

Comparing the gearing up for Cowboys to the Mavs is ridiculous. A) Nobody was preaching that 'this is the Mavs year' before the season, and B) The Mavs don't become relevant until the Cowboys season is over, that's when people take notice - if they are playing well.

[@Capncomeback2023]

Let Dak walk, trade Micah for a load of high Draft Picks and resign Cee Dee. Then we can use Draft Picks to replace Dak & Micah and add another fast WR AND a DT.

Yep .. I"ve been saying this same thing.. Dak gone in free agency.. Trade Micah.. Sign CD.. and For God's Sake.. stop getting the Shrimp sized players.. Minimum WR height for me is 6ft 4 .. your Model is a Randy Moss/Mike Evans/type. Zach Evans/RB from Ole Miss and Kenny McIntosh/RB from U of Georgia were on the board when Jerry took Snooze Vaughn .. the 1.7 yds/carry waste of a pick. What I wouldn't give for Evans or McIntosh right now.

I bought in as soon as the end of the season! Our biggest weakness was pollard and Gallup- and to not pay these over hyped over rated guys is brilliabrilliant- I love the prove it year- worst case scenario- cowboys tank- goood see ya later dak- Rebuild- build the whole team from bottom up- trade parsons- start trey Lance couple season until the manning kid is ready

[@Frank-pc2rs]

I agree with everything except Lance. I don't think he's the guy either.

[@Killabvato]

@@Frank-pc2rs yeah there’s alot of unknows with Trey Lance- he probably isn’t the guy- but he’ can hold the fort down or compete with rush it’s just a retainer until we draft a qb- the only way to win a super in this league is to have a qb that is willing to take a discount for the good of the team or have a qb on first or second contract- It’s evident that Dak isn’t willing to work with the owner- and that’s a shame cause he bought into his own hype- zeke gave him his success first couple years- last yeah he force fed the ball to ceedee cause our running game and Gallup was atrocious- and it worked well vs terrible teams but we saw what happened in the playoffs- Dak doesn’t elevate average players- but he thinks he’s a highest paid caliber type guy- he’s delusional along with 50 percent of the cowboys fan base- I think the front office caught up to what Dak ceiling is- I don’t think he’s gonna get a contract I hope not

[@frankieclayton9303]

Thanks sir for telling I for the fans pain

[@marcsmith1413]

Being a true fan I'll always watch every game and will root for my team no matter what everyone is so negative because the front office doesn't do what they feel they should do i stepped away from being that fan long ago and that makes it much easier for my fandom it's DC4L for me not just sometimes and I've been a fan since 1975 so I've seen it all from the good to the bad and I'll always be here

[@ialonesongwriting5650]

Just as last year, I’ll watch and support but it doesn’t matter or get real until the playoffs. Hope the media doesn’t jump offside again in DFW on the October hype.

The off season isn't over and they're not finished signing players but as currently constructed, this is not a SB team but I am still excited to see the players grow and improve game by game throughout the year, see how many games they can win and how far they will go in the playoffs

I get where there coming from, but they do this every year. For the past 3 years the fan guys would think it’s going to be a bad season but all we gotta do is win 5 games in a row, and watch the whole media flip the script again. I actually see the boys doing something special this year. Only because everyone is writing them off already. the cowboys way is to do the opposite of what fans and media expect of them

[@frankieclayton9303]

This is so right ✅️

[@joshuaadams738]

Nobody is buying into them this year after the last few. We’ll watch but none of us believe they will win it this year or next now. Not with that front office! Say what you guys at 103 want but the drafting and scouting isn’t as great as you make it out to be. They failed last year and this year is meh as well. Without Parsons that year was a dud too! So Dak has masked a lot of problems but it’s time for him to leave and us to suck again! We deserve it cause the owners are not good at the job.

[@tbrown4562]

Dak is a huge part of the problem in the postseason failures. He hasn't masked anything.

[@CollinBrennan-py2hr]

Anyone who says they're not watching a Cowboys game in the fall isn't a real fan. There's 365 days in the year. Dallas plays on 17 of them. 17 games is literally 68 hours of your year. There's over 8,000 hours in a year. If you choose not to use that small window of time.... you're not a fan.

[@AndreTheGiant30]

Being 31 years old, never actually seeing them get to the NFCCG. Just make it to THAT game. Then I'll actually take this franchise seriously again.

[@ignaciojaramillo6232]

If they get to beat physical teams they may get my attention. The last time this team was truly physical was in 2016 when they really got into street fights with the Ravens/Steelers and won back-to-back! And they also beat SF/GB on the road to boot. And to all the "sell the team" replies, you don't get it do you? The real NFL game is making money and, in that respect, they are undefeated for 30 years and counting!

[@stevemclaughlin9436]

It’s been 29 years!

[@DevreyAlexander]

The Front Office Jerry and Stephen in particular are the Cowboys biggest opponent. Especially Stephen

[@tonyg3644]

There is nothing to be excited about because during the regular season they play well, they always do. We have to wait for the playoffs to see what team shows up. Having a "winning record" doesn't guarantee anything. They've had the #1 offense, most scored points, etc... and they have embarrassed themselves terribly in the playoffs.

[@jwill3419]

I think if Parsons would study some tape he would be unstoppable

[@scottlockridge4676]

The fan's metrics are simple: win. Jerry and Steven's metrics are different: ticket sales, merch, and tv ratings. The ONLY way Jerry and Steven will wake up to the crap that the Cowboys have become is when the networks refuse to put them on for the big audience tv slot (2nd afternoon game & night games). What will turn this team around is when a TV Exec tells Jerry, "the fans aren't watching your team."

[@faceious2006]

To end the video with saying America wasn’t and will not be better under Trump is idiotic

[@williamgrant8723]

Guys, no matter what they do, the goalpost will always be moved. The definition of being a fan is to be a fan regardless. Did we forget about the years 1997-2006? Almost a decade of suck! But we still remained fans, it is the fun of being a fan. We can tear down the team and say we won't buy in until the playoffs and even then you say, they will lose, so why wait until to buy in then if you don't believe the team? We sound like Buffalo fans,

[@Frank-pc2rs]

Well we did make the playoffs in 97, 98, 99, 03 and 06 so I wouldn't say suck. You should have said from 2000 to 2002, that was a pretty bad time. Once Parcells got there in 03 things started looking up and we drafted several Hall of Famers and before 2000 in 97, 98 and 99 we still had Aikman, Smith and Irvin. The team wasn't awful to watch even though the glory days were gone. EDIT: The 97 season I always get mixed up with 96. We didn't make the playoffs in 97.

[@elmerolion2424]

Playoff wins is that simple win 3-4 playoff games and that will buy me

Getting out of the divisional round. I'm a fan. I'll cheer for them every week, but I won't buy in until we stack playoff wins.

[@chrisrich5006]

The only thing that will excite me is if they dont sign any of the big 3 (Dak, Ceedee, Micah) because then maybe they might make a playoff run and those guys wont get comfortable with their new money. Also makes the analysts predict when the train might crash and they mid season trade or fire someone lol

For the first time since ‘81, I won’t be watching a single cowboys game. Just can’t do it….. not after we just saw what we saw the front office do this offseason especially. Jerry may be laughing all the way to the bank, but I think they’re going to lose a lot of people who were historically hardcore, long time fans. I saw this front office make zero effort this offseason that can only be interpreted as a total lack of concern about making it any better. So why would I waste another minute on an organization that clearly isn’t trying?

Everything point y’all are making alot of us have realized also, but to me why can’t we win in the post season ( with this current regime ) is the coach and QB combination . Coach seems too soft but a bright mind , QB is just efficient and that’s all he is . Get rid of both of them at least , then the team can get mentally tougher again, Even Emmitt smith expresses this team lacks something and think they deserve praise they didn’t even earn . And Dak wants to be the highest paid QB? With no title game appearance at least? Please at least don’t resign him .

[@mosesw17]
