I’m going to throw in my own two cents about what the Dallas Cowboys should do this off-season.
I’ve been hearing from a lot of Dallas Cowboy fans because I live near a lot of Dallas Cowboy fans.
This is all part of God’s punishment.
I can be more objective because I grew up a Philadelphia Eagles fan.
I’m not easily snowed by Cowboys propaganda, nor am I depressed when the Cowboys lose.
Indeed, I am elated because the Cowboys deserve it. They deserve it because they and their fans are spoiled little babies who delusionally believe that the Cowboys are America’s team. They believe that it’s the duty of the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Giants, the Washington Commanders, and, yes, the San Francisco 49ers to lay down and die before them.
Currently almost every Cowboys fan is calling for Dak Prescott to be traded or fired. They also want to move on from Zeke Elliott.
They share the mentality of most sportscasters who fervently believe that someone has to go, that someone has to be fired.
It’s a given, right?
I don’t agree.
You can’t blame this loss or any loss on any one individual Cowboy.
The reason the Cowboys lost is because the San Francisco 49ers were and are a better team.
The truth hurts, but it’s true.
I’ll repeat it for the Cowboys fans. The San Francisco 49ers were and are a better team.
Once you the Cowboys fam understand that, then you are able to stop blaming any one particular individual.
You start focusing on the team.
Let me state a simple truth for you.
It is the team’s responsibility to overcome all obstacles, internal and external, that are presented to it in its quest score more points than the opposition. Any failure to do so is the responsibility of the team.
Burn it into your memory.
If the team loses, it’s because the team lost.
You can’t blame it on the referees.
You can’t blame it on the weather.
You can’t blame it on blue uniforms.
You can’t blame it on some arcane statistic from the past.
You can’t blame it on a bad bounce.
You can’t blame it on the quarterback.
You can’t blame it on the coach.
I repeat what I said before so that it will sink in.
It is the team’s responsibility to overcome all obstacles, internal and external, that are presented to it in its quest score more points than the opposition. Any failure to do so is the responsibility of the team.
It does no good to point fingers.
It does no good to cast blame.
Whatever the team is, its players are stuck with each other. It’s a marriage. Sometimes it’s a bad marriage, but it is a marriage.
Whatever the faults of the team are, those players are chained at the hip, and they’re going to have to figure it out together.
It’s not a matter of drafting a new quarterback.
It’s not a matter of getting a new coach.
The players that the Cowboys currently have are plenty good enough to win a Super Bowl.
The coach is plenty good enough to win a Super Bowl.
They’re just going to have to figure it out.
Now, your married life can be a dream if you choose to support each other, recognize each other’s weaknesses, and work together to overcome them.
Or, your marriage can be miserable if you choose to knock each other down, beat each other up, and tear each other apart.
It’s your choice.
Sincerely,
Archer Crosley
