We knew how to win games. T.O.P, 3rd down conversions, and first downs. Consistently top of the league in those categories. Now we just have no consistency. Just players that have games. And then disappear in big moments. No matter what the name. Prescott. Elliott. Pollard. Diggs. Parsons. Martin. No leadership. The franchise is done. We haven’t had a real MLB on this defense since Rolando McLain. Every other MLB has been soft. Yeah it’s been that long. But yeah we like our guys. Barry church said to many guys in this defense making business decisions. Diggs. Brown. No dogs on this team. Just city boys.

You either never played sports or weren't very good. Nobody with this kind of willingness to quit when something doesn't go well could succeed.

In 1991 there was a game early in the season where Aikman got sacked 11 times. Yes, 11 times. The Eagles destroyed Dallas, the Cowboys had a losing record, and the team looked completely lost. That team went on to an 11-5 record that year.

Now, before you start in, I'm not saying this team has the same talent level, I'm just saying that was a low point where things seemed every bit as hopeless, and probably more so, than they do now. Nobody expects the season to be void of obstacles, and in fact, overcoming obstacles is the entire essence of sports.

I’m very competitive. And I was a okay player not the type to quit or give up. If I ever played with anything it was heart. I’ll give myself that. Just tired of this team not showing up.

And just fyi. I work for amazon as a delivery driver. Average blue collar guy. Go through hardships like anyone else. But overall enjoy life my family, and a very small group of people I consider close friends. Humbled by life many times. Good day chief!

I’d hate to be in a foxhole with you.

Well, I've got some good news for you... turns out that the season doesn't end until Jan 8 2023... and that's the earliest possible end to the season. There's something called the playoffs, which extends the season until the Cowboys lose out.

Injuries to key players, motivation, they all go through phases, and are each a part of the formula that the winning team must endure. Hopefully the Cowboys win out through this mystery... the playoffs.

This felt like the Broncos game last year. The Blueprint to expose the defense has been laid out! Just like Denver exposed the Cowboys offense

Lol over? Dallas can still have a good season! If we're talking about being a contender that's another story. There's been no reason/season to think that besides 07/08 or 14 if you got the vibe that year. We all want a sb but come on now.

Season isn’t over.

Even though it is a long shot to win division, with Philly loss, if Cowboys win their remaining division games and end the season with the same record as Eagles and/or Giants, Cowboys win the Division.

Me, I will just keep doing what I have always been doing, just BBQ on game day, my BBQ always comes out prime because I spend much more time worrying about the BBQ then the game.
I still never miss a play, just saying my BBQ has improved significantly over the past 26 years.
