Adversity Reveals Character

[diamonddelts]

How has this team dealt with adversity in the past? Why would this year be different? Based on what evidence?

They bottom feed every year and get their arse whipped by any teams with winning records. Followed by a kick in the teeth come playoff time. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah put Lance in. Go from bad to worse. Brilliant.

You just don’t see the big picture. I understand.

You mean a no shot hope

I prefer long shot, lol

You don't see anything. It's alright to be a Stevie Wonder fan.

Dallas is soft as banana pudding. Will lay down against any above average team with a pulse.

Soft as Charmin

Is there any chance if we’re around .500 at the midway point of the season, Jerry goes to Lance? Here’s the big one, if he isn’t the answer l, we take a shot on a high draft pick at QB next season? My hopes are up on this for the first time in a long time.

Hope Dak balls out or plays terrible.
We gotta see if he's worth extending.

My expectations have went from sky high to are you Fing kidding me.

I was actually thinking Lombardi Trophy.

The defense was the biggest disappointment. A great defense doesn’t get bullied all game against the run. The defense was weak!!!!!!!!!

Like Swiss cheese !
No in game adjustments.
Soooo disappointing

Thanks

You are certainly welcome!

The Dallas fan base reacts to adversity VERY poorly.

I think our fan base even finds some ways to react to great news poorly.

The morale of the franchise is poor, and the morale of the community is poor. Can we spin this around? If not, I’ll get comfortable for another 20+ years.

Early success reveals true character. This team is almost always good but not great, can't handle success.

Sounds like you hit the Kool aid hard.
The hangover when you realize you got snookered by Jerry again is tough.

Unfortunately, correct...

I guess the Chiefs should just mail it in, too. Can't hit the panic button unless they lose to the Pats.

The Chiefs know they can win the Super Bowl because they just did it. The Cowboys hope they can win one because they haven't done it in decades.

This is an apples to oranges comparison.

The most significant apples to apples comparison here is that players and coaches in the NFL don't have the same mind set as fans do. That we can draw the greatest amount of hope from.

Anyone deluding themselves into thinking we’re a championship favorite with Dak at QB and a razor thin O-line is a bit naive. Even if the season had gone perfectly on defense, this offense just doesn’t have it.

This offense QB just doesn’t have it. Dak seems like a dude you could go cat fishing with and have a blast. I just don't think he will ever get to the SB.

Dissapointing seeing the effort yesterday, way too many blown assignments and they werent prepared defensively. On offense the backup oline played admirably, thought they were quite good in the run game, not as good at pass protection.

Cowboys moved the ball well to the 10 yard line then no one seemed to want to make a play or get open inside the 10. Had they converted 2 more attempts like they had in prior years this game would have had a different outcome.

Coaches have 2 priorities this week.

1) Figure out and solve what went wrong inside the 10.
2) Figure out and solve why the team looked so unprepared to stop counter runs. Reminded me of the Rams playoff game a few years ago.

As of right now the Cowboys are 6-15 (40%) in the red zone so far this season.

One could call the Cowboys of the early 2000s as the dark days of the franchise. That label stuck when the 2001 team took the field. With Troy Aikman retired, the team handed the reins over to rookie quarterback Quincy Carter. However, two other quarterbacks would end of guiding the offense as Anthony Wright and Ryan Leaf each split time.

With no consistency at the primary position, the team struggled to score. Dallas only scored 17 red zone touchdowns that season, giving them a 34.7% touchdown percentage inside the 20. The inept offense contributed to a 5-11 finish. By the end of the season the Cowboys had the label as one of the worst offenses in the league.

The next season did not bring more hope. Despite Carter getting another chance to start, he lost his job to Chad Hutchinson. The change did not help as the offense only managed ten touchdowns in the red zone, 38.5%. Once again Dallas finished 5-11 in what would be Emmitt Smith's final season as a Cowboy.

For any Cowboys' team, this has sunk pretty low...

This overreaction on here is laughable. One week we are an all-time great team and on our way to the super bowl and the next we are terrible and might not make the playoffs.
Adversity reveals character - that is a nice saying. Character is also one's willingness to prepare and play the same regardless of your opponent.
This team and some of its fan base totally took this game for granted. Period. There is no argument in that. I bet the OL guys sitting on the sidelines would have played if this game was against a division opponent or the 49ers.

Another year of the same stuff.

To be fair the fans that think the season is over thought that before the season, after we shut-out the Giants, and after we pounded the Jets.

They just feel invigorated after the loss.
