Well, he might be right if we hadn't lost both Pro Bowl-caliber starting offensive tackles, our starting quarterback, our starting tight end (although I think his replacement has been better), a starting linebacker, a starting corner ...

We had some of those early, but the defense was awful even with those starters. Just a slight improvement without losing those offensive players and we would be a good team.

Lawrence believes we still are, but it's hard for players to accept reality.

While it’s fairly easy to roll eyes, I don’t think it’s “stupid”. They’ve gone through an incredibly rough stretch and lost their best player, but these guys are playing hard and I’d rather hear this than packing it in
I’d rather not hear anything I’d rather see results on the field. I don’t want them packing it in but he is suppose leader of this defense that is record setting bad

now in terms of individual performance he may be doing his job better than others but to me this is much like celebrating a touchdown when your down 4 scores and 2 minutes left

just don’t make sense to me but I respect you’re right to feel as you do.

He’s confusing the word disarray for good.

That's what I always told my parents, teachers, girlfriends and then wife. I thought I was being good because I could have been so much worse.
That's my response when people question me "You attend Mass?" I reply "Yes, just imagine me without it."

The Cowboys have a chance at a playoff spot but are currently in last place in the NFC East. They have lost four games. But confidence is high. “First things first, don't ever get this twisted, we're a good team,” DeMarcus Lawrence said. “And it's all about winning games at the end of the day, but we're a good team. Seeing how other people are playing and stuff, I don't think we're far behind at all. I feel like we deserve to still be in this thing and we can make a pretty good run."

I had this thought as well, but we are so entitled I guess Id prefer to hear him say we are better than what we've shown you and we intend to prove it, or something along those lines.

His words fit the narrative of these guys thinking their crap dont stink, and that has grown quite stale.

Fact is there are few things any of em can say to win us over at this point in the season.
here's some more from big mouth, enjoy.

Well it can also be argued that believing that you suck is a self fulfilling prophecy. Give me the guy that believes they're gonna turn it around and prove they are a good team all day every day over the guy who accepts "woe is us.."

its amazing what players will say the cowboys are not a good team and any fan can see this on the field when they play really sad jerry jones and son and this group of players have just about helped me kick my dallas cowboys habit
