Wow people are all really that confident after a win vs. a team we regularly beat in good or bad years? :huh:

Then you aren't really in any place to give someone **** for selling or attempting to sell their tickets.

Going to the games during seasons like this are the absolute biggest beat down on the planet. It's an 8 hour commitment, surrounded by drunks, drunk drivers, and at times, you're outnumbered by the opposing fan base. We also have one of the absolute worst stadiums in the league for football experience and that's amplified ten fold when the team is doing poorly.
Lol, a beat down? Then why buy them? You're comparing apples to oranges, someone who can afford them vs someone who can't. And I assure you if I could afford them I would give them away to a Cowboys fan instead of selling them to the opposing fans.

Because on the flip side, when we do have a good season, it's a great experience. Personally, I try to take people that have never been, it's great to see their joy.

One thing that you probably don't realize is that when they're bad, like 2015 bad, you literally can't give them away.

Lol, you think every coach makes perfect adjustments. I guess that's why every game ends within 3 points. You think we could have made the same adjustments against Atlanta as Washington and got the same results? Lol. You seem to have it all figured out, go apply when Red gets fired. Just keep hating, it's amusing.

How about making an adjustments period let alone a perfect adjustments? That would be a good start. Then again, you probably don't care that we are getting blown out 3 weeks in a row as long as your hero JG is the HC.

Come on, don't be a dick. You're right though, adjustments don't appear to be a strong point for Garrett. That Atlanta game is going to haunt him his whole career.

It's like beating up on the little kid on the bus. The Commanders had a makeshift ol and Dallas forced multiple turnovers. Dak barely had a 100 yards passing. This is JG's mo, beating bad teams to be a .500 coach.

The problem with Garrett isn't that the team wins 0 games with him. The problem with him is that if anything goes wrong the team craps its pants because he can't adapt. Which is just another way of saying he... can't coach.

The Cowboys just won against a team that's mostly on IR. People who have talked themselves into wanting the Cowboys to lose are nuts, but if you think this proves Garrett is suddenly any good just lol.

Terrell McClain DT Toe questionable McClain has missed the the previous two games with an injured toe and it is unclear if he will suit up against the Chargers in Week 14.
Zach Brown LB Leg questionable Brown exited the last game due to a left leg injury and his status for Week 14 against the Chargers is undecided.
Morgan Moses T Ankle questionable Moses departed the previous game due to a right ankle injury and his availability for Week 14 against the Chargers is in question.
Zach Vigil LB Neck questionable Vigil left the last game with a neck injury and it is unclear if he will play Week 14 against the Chargers.
Montae Nicholson S Concussion questionable Nicholson has not able to clear concussion protocol prior to the past two games and it is undetermined if he will be available against the Chargers during Week 14.
Jordan Reed TE Hamstring questionable Reed has been held out of the previous five games with a hamstring injury and it is unknown if he will return to action Week 14 against the Chargers.
Maurice Harris WR Concussion questionable Harris was forced from the previous game due to a concussion and it is unknown if he will pass protocol in time for Week 14 against the Chargers.
Chase Roullier C Hand questionable Roullier sat out his second-straight game due to a hand injury and it is uncertain if he will play against the Chargers in Week 14.

This sounds great and all but last season we suffered injuries to Romo, Dez, Scandrick, Hanna, Claiborne, DLaw, McClain, and other swho all missed time. This year our rotating door at 1T, CB, and RB have been filled in adequately. Their adjustments in the secondary paid off big time. Rotating Frazier and Heath has them both playing better.

Now the coaching staff, scouts, and whoever else screwed the pooch with Green for not realizing that he was not ready to play LT and prepare/provide help. OTOH, for all the handwaving at the Peters injury GB and WAS are two teams that have not had adequate OL backups either. Frankly its well known there is not a lot of OL talent in the NFL.

And I still lack confidence in our coverage ability despite significant improvement this past game I am not yet sold. Now that Smith has come along, the loss of Lee is not so pronounced.

Coaches deserve credit for coaching better.

You still have to put up with all the miserable experiences you described, probably even morseso when they are doing well. Plus last night would have been a great experience regardless of playoff implications, would it not?

I disagree in a sense about being a horrible stadium. I think it's set up well but there are way too many distractions. I like the more traditional stadiums but some of them are horribly laid out.

Either way, very nice of you to try to bring others who have never been :)

Lol. You people are literally bipolar week to week. Get back on your meds bro.

I recommend 90% of the users on this site take lithium.

That' all you do though, is, "call out fans" who you deem to be unworthy. Hence, why Im convinced you have no real joy, as you say.

Then you lack imagination and can only conceive of happiness being part of a herd. Some people thrive taking on unpopular causes that they believe in.

Personally when everyone agrees with me I find myself reflexively inspecting my beliefs. Doesn't mean that I find them wanting but the bandwagon will lead you astray.

The negatives are a lot easier to accept when the product not he field is of a higher quality.

I say this having been to 19 games at 19 different NFL stadiums. Of those, it is the worst experience, outside of Arizona. The fan base simply isn't into the game. After about five minutes, you can have a conversation with someone three seats down at a perfectly normal volume for 3/4ths of the game.

Weak. Figures.
No, what's weak is flipping the script everytime something doesn't go your way or everytime a coach or player hits a bump in the road. Nut up and stop acting like an entitled brat.

Flipping what script? Most have been calling for adjustments instead of doing the same thing over and over again. Some even mentioned getting Frazier in for BJones/Heath to help with stopping the run.
You are just blinded by JG fandom. I bet you clap along with him during the game.

I've found that at the Stars game but the Stars aren't a football in team. Why do you think that is? Tocket prices so high that they're owned by corporations who give the tickets away? People with too much money that they don't care about the game and go as more of "a place to be seen" and as a staus symbol?

One of the only times I went was in the friends and family section so the vibe was a little different. I don't like the stadium because there's too much fluff and it's almost like the game takes a backseat to all the other distractions. And I HATE that tv which I think is part of the problem.

They were a .500 team with a talented QB and a division rival. The regular complaint was that we allowed QBs to have field days against us.

We picked him off, forced fumbles, and slobberknocked him around en route to a multiple score margin of victory.

What happened to us being the worst team ever that only ever suffered blowouts even against scrubadubs like the Chargers?

They made adjustments, Z. They did what you wanted and saw success. You could appreciate it and even pat yourself on the back for being right.

Instead you are doubling down on them not making adjustments.

Were you calling for adjustments last year? Or just during the one game when they did make adjustments and came back only to lose on an incredible pass by one of the greatest qb's of all time.

Not to mention we were missing 3-4 pro bowlers, a depleted secondary full of rookies and injuries and have almost zero depth compared to other teams. That's not a quick, easy fix.
