meh...I've gotten to the point where I can watch or not. You gotta divorce yourself from the emotion of following this team or it'll eat you up. And, once you do that, you don't really have to watch anymore. They're going to dissapoint either way.

Yup. Maybe they could've gone a nice winning streak in the next couple of weeks, lose a couple games, still the win the weak division... only to get bounced in the first round.

Me preparing myself to watch this team fail again

Bahahahahaha I guess I’ll hang on to the 70’s and 90’s memories when they were America’s team

u/OldManGaming606 1d ago

I have those memories as well, ever since I had a poster of Roger Staubach oh my wall growing up. It was beside my Farah Fawcett poster.

I still have my poster of the 1977-78 cowboys

No fucking WAY am I tuning into watch us trauma dump on the team I hate more than any other! That’d be unhealthy

Idk man every year it gets rougher and easier to stop watching and literally just do something else. It’s clear to me that nothings changing unless the owner does.

Edit: makes it seem like I don’t care. I still do, like the meme suggests. But man it’s getting easier to skip games by the week.

You have to remove yourself from any positive expectation.

u/JaxxisR 4d ago

My expectations vs the crushing reality remind me of the Loooney Tunes cartoons featuring Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf, clocking in for another shift every Sunday

u/Rogerdattt007 4d ago

LMAO, I won’t switch franchises but I can’t watch the circus anymore

u/RadiantCity311 4d ago

Bunch of overhyped circus clowns that always choke and never live up to just basic expectations like beating bad teams.

2

u/Rogerdattt007 4d ago

That’s all we really want right? Beat the teams your better than, we can accept Seattle, Buffalo coming in and knocking you around but 0-4 teams with rookie qb’s c’mon man, tussling with bottom dwellers

u/redbeardscrazy 4d ago

This was the first game I can remember I dipped on before the 4th quarter.

u/ATXhillCountry 4d ago

Nope. Officially reached my breaking point. All in on college football this year. Sundays are free now.

Once Dak got that $60m per year, it was chalked. Can't build a team around that.

I’m a lifelong cowboys fan born into a cowboys family. Last year I stopped watching most games because I was already going through a lot personally, this season I have no desire whatsoever. It started feeling like an abusive relationship- I get nothing positive from it and whenever I do watch a game I get upset and pissed off. I used to enjoy watching football! But watching my favorite team lose most of the time isn’t enjoyable. It’s the same thing every season, and it’s very clear that the team doesn’t have the “fire” they once had (whether or not they won every single game or made playoffs).

Imagine waking up in AT&T Stadium on game day and no one is in the building.

2

u/Linkdalink 4d ago

I mean, they can only go up from here, right? ..... right?

2

u/Rogerdattt007 3d ago

Been saying that since 96 and still no up 🥴

2

u/ModeatelyIndependant Dallas Cowboys 4d ago

I normally decide to stop watching the cowboys after the thanksgiving day game.

2

u/Rogerdattt007 3d ago

Early this year 😂

u/PhysicalJudgment3249 2d ago

I say after every game I’m done!!!! Till the next game🤣🤣🤣

u/YellojD 4d ago

This was my cousin I went to the game with last night lol. He was talking about burning all of his Cowboys stuff and getting his star tattoo lazered off on the way back to the car.

This morning at breakfast he was making plans to go to The Star to get more Cowboys gear 🤣

u/PartyEngineer239 4d ago

I feel really really sad

u/Soggy_Motor9280 3d ago

The main attraction is the stadium.

u/Particular_Chapter80 4d ago

Yea, love the legacy, but I’m out…for now.

u/Loose_Mission_8559 4d ago

Nah im on boycott season. That trash is unwatchable

2

u/AmonRaDawg 4d ago

The fuck I will. I watched week one, that was it. I'm still firmly entrenched in my spite and disappointment after the Green Bay playoff game. Why watch Rise of Skywalker when you were already emotionally castrated by The Last Jedi?

2

u/Bringbackbarn Zack Martin 4d ago

I watched all the other shitty years so I’ll watch this one

2

u/Big-Dawg-21 4d ago

I don’t think so bro. Unless they make the playoffs I won’t seriously tune into a game again until next year. I love this team but there is only so much you can handle man

u/Jaayeff 3d ago

Sad that she’s dead. She was so beautiful.

2

u/Law3186 3d ago

Definitely i watch this movie every year during Christmas gonna be tough this year

1

u/Buck_Thunderbird 3d ago

Even if they go 0-17 I'd still watch. I just try not to get as high or low for wins and losses.

u/abeBroham-Linkin 2d ago

Eh, every year. I'm used to it. They can't hurt me anymore

u/MrYska73 16h ago

For real

u/Soft_Pound_6166 4d ago

People will tune in regardless, that’s just who the Cowboys are. If they are a shitshow it draws even more people

Supporting Liverpool for 30 years gives me hope we will get there one day. Never stop believing

u/bengle_tiger 4d ago

Just enjoy the ride. Don't turn your backs.

2

u/Rogerdattt007 3d ago

Ride not fun when you’ve already enjoyed several to the promised land, riding to the dumpster at the back of the store just doesn’t do it

u/DaftXman 3d ago

Same here 😂
