The media and fans were enablers.What’s the problem? I mean, they were told that they were already going to the championship game.
The media and fanswereARE enablers.
CD looked like the guys from Varsity Blues who went to the strip club the night before the game and then got their ***** kicked the next day.He looked uninterested.
I saw no passion.
Yeah but they actually had real talent.I got news for them…players of the 80s and 90s use to do blow before games. Partying the night before is no excuse they all do it.
The atmosphere of the Cowboys has become too big for any coach or player to handle. That is the real curse. It's not Jerry personally it is what he has built. It's just too Hollywood and so there is far too much pressure for any human being to overcome when all eyes are on.Our Cabo…..
most 2024 athletes didn;'t get beat when they were favored.. let's see.. yep , we were the ONLY ONE who got beat at home.It’s just the 2024 athlete. It’s not foreign to the Cowboys.
Culture, tough to play when you’re hungover.
The “pep rally” was the night before the game.
Your last paragraph sums up exactly what is needed.Two thoughts:
Team looked like they prepared for the 49ers during the week and were sure they would beat Green Bay with superior talent and experience alone - then got smacked in the mouth and couldn’t respond.
We are not „Hardcore“, but there are teams that are - either by playing in the cold and on grass or by a „military culture“ in the whole organization or by not being distracted of all the media attention and marketing offers or by „crazy“ guys on the field - and those teams will kill us when it really counts any time, with our mild-mattered WR1 and CBs and mentally semi-stable QB1 and lightweight RB and LBs.
I don’t know if it could work with Belichick here, but it would for sure be a gigantic clash of cultures - and maybe exactly what we are missing and dearly need.
