To be an athlete and to some extent a sports fan you must believe in karma and have some superstitions. Most athletes have some game day traditions or rituals they go thru. And many fanatic followers do as well.

In that same mindset we probably all would agree to some extent there is a greater force out there. And then there are some manmade jinx’s which can be bestowed on you simply thru selfish own doing.

After watching the ball bounce again against us last night I think it continues to support we just aren’t meant for nice things.

This era the Cowboys continue to find new ways to lose. It’s incredible. Most fans weren’t even aware of this possession rule after a blocked punt. Obviously our players didn’t have their head in it .

This team despite all of the obstacles, handicaps and diversions continued to fight hard but when the football gods and karma is against you then all of your most stupid traits come out.

While this season probably wasn’t headed anywhere even if we won out it’s difficult for me to root against winning even knowing the consolation prize at the end. And to the credit of this coaching staff and roster, they continued fighting. But we obviously aren’t a very good team overall and the football gods definitely aren’t with us.

I'm sorry, but I put most of the blame on our coaching staff.

What other 'nice things' could they possibly want? This roster is full of me first, show me the money players why couldn't care less about anything else. From QB1 all the way down, this is just who they are. CeeDee seems to be somewhat passionate, but I don't get that feeling from anyone else on the roster.

When you lose in that manner to a 4-8 team…at home…you are what your record says you are - a 5-8 team who is 1-6 at home, and often un-prepared.
what the hell are we doing during practices and the off season to fix these NON prepared games, I feel like this is a pee wee team playing their first game

We've all heard Jerry made a deal with the devil for his 90's dynasty.

It seems to check out.

Just wait until the draft. Maybe nice things are on the way.

Parsons certainly looked passionate last night.
