Dak and Micah demonstrate why this team is not a Top Team

I remember one year (Super Bowl year) that Jim Hart and the St. Louis Cardinals killed us, something like 35-10, and we didn’t spend the next week or two crying about it. Back then, it was perfectly acceptable to NOT let a game ruin our lives.

Yeah yeah, I know. What kind of mindless freak am I?

This is all pointless minuta.

Sometimes you lose. When you lose to a team that is obviously worse than you, it usually the result of a combination of them playing better than usual and you playing worse than usual. The fact of the matter is that despite playing a horrendous game by their standards, Dallas was still within 1 score in the 4th. It is not as if the Cardinals were an insurmountable juggernaut on Sunday. Dallas did not take care of business the way we would expect them to. It is simple as that.

In the end, the L is all that matters.

Both gave statements after the game saying it wasn't the Cardinals that beat them, it was there own mistakes.
In reality, the Cardinals beat them in every phase of the game because the Cowboys aren't as good/disciplined, mentally and physically, as the players think they are.
Not facing that reality and spouting a bunch of meaningless platitudes about how they are really Awesome but they just didn't show it shows why this team isn't an elite team. They live off of their image and think higher of themselves that the reality of the situation.
All of the rah rah, lion mentality talk is just talk.
I remember Brady in 2007. They were simply *crushing* teams, and all he would talk about were the plays he *didn't* make. All 2 of them per game.

The one thing that really disappointed me yesterday was the pouting. Lamb and Parsons were crying alot yesterday and Dak just isn't the answer. He has no leadership skills. Lamb also half-assed some of his routs and got lazy. This team got their butts kicked and should be ashamed of their lack of effort. Gotta give the cards credit too. They out-played and out-coached the Cowboys in every aspect...
lamb was thinking about his next contract, and he doesnt need to win games to get a big one. Just show up and brown nose jerry.

LOL. A week ago everyone was carrying Parsons on their shoulders to Canton, speaking platitudes of best ever and game wrecker, now he is a bum who talks too much.

It's a long season that is judged by the body of work, however, we are still in September and the quitters have already breached the perimeter.

11 needs to get off his podcast and worry more about reality than how they are perceived, as does the rest of this team.

They are terrible leaders look at them on the sideline, everyone looks like they are going to cry. There's no fire, no passion, no nothing. They're a bunch of man babies collecting their paycheque. They don't give a crap about winning anything material as long as they do well enough to sign another contract.

They didn't play a clean game because the Cardinals curb-stomped them and took their lunch money. The Cardinals made them play an un-clean game because they got punched in the mouth and the Cowboys didn't know how to respond/adjust.
Ehhh............. the Cardinals didn't make them eat a bazillion penalties, for example.

That game was as much stupid play on our part as anything the Cardinals did.
