It’s one game

It would be recurring if all the same staff was in place. Putting what the past staff did on this staff based on 1 game is ridicules. Most knew the opening game was not a cake walk, it was going to be a close game and was a close game. But putting past events on this staff makes no sense.

I don't put it on the staff; I put it on the owner.

Didn't the 2016 season start out the same. Game #1 was a close game ultimately decided by a error in judgement by a WR?

What followed was an 11 game winning streak. Not predicting a repeat, just confirming that you don't judge a season by one game.

Let's see what happens.

Owner along with the scouting department have brought in a lot of good players. Jerry is not coaching the team and Jerry is not playing. Yes he talks but he is not coaching this team. Parcells himself said he liked working for Jerry and Parcells is not a guy who holds his tongue.

I think 2014, 2016, 2018.. When we lose the opening game we go to the playoffs. But that was with JG.

If you don't see a culture of mediocrity with this team for the last couple decades, I don't know what to tell you. Jerry doesn't play, but he pays these bums to do a subpar job, year in and year out, coaches, players, everyone. Yeah, he nails a player or two here and there, but putting it all together, going "all in" as he claims to do each year, is something he isn't willing to do.

Then don't support them.

I am as mad and upset and disappointed as the rest of you. Waited all offseason and was so pumped all day. And then that happened.

End of first half we started looking better. The second half we just did not pop. The Defense maybe got a little better. But Offense seems to just flounder like always.

Our kicker missed a FG. - But all together our ST was a relief to see better than last year. Nice return. No real injuries.

Our Defense got ran through again. With these big named players we have I was thinking maybe we would come out better. - But they got better after a while and I think they may get much better once it’s figured out. WE GOT A INT!!! We lost LVE for a while. That’s gonna hurt.

Our Offense as I said just flopped around. Dak held the ball a few times longer than he should. He has to start rolling himself out to buy time. Only put 17 points up. Our O-Line sucked on the interior, no other way to put it. - But Elliot looks good and our WR looked pretty good and we will gel. We lost Jarwin and it’s a bigger step down to the next man up. I am not sure how to feel about going for it on 4th down instead of making the game tied. And we had a bad call at the end IMO, we could have won. Typical for us right.

Bottom line is it’s one game and they will get in gear and should do better. We got tore up in the middle by donald but he is a elite player. It happens.

I will be right here rooting again Sunday. Years we lose our first game we make it to the playoffs. If you believe in that kind of thing.. Lol.
yeah but we are 8-10 in our last 18 games. Right now I consider this a losing team

Well what have they been doing the whole time? Are you telling me MM sat around for a year and concluded Jason Garrett was a football genius and everything he did was the best way to do things? That's what Sunday Night looked like because that looked like the exact same team doing the exact same things on both sides of the ball. There is nothing to be excited about because nothing is different except the head coach looks twice as big now.

The basic process of coaching.

Play games.
Focus on correcting mistakes.
Repeat.

It is like the AC system where you live.

Measure temp at thermostat.
Adjust by turning the AC on or off.
Repeat.
