News: Dez Bryant's defiance, frustration aren't as profane as Cowboys' QB situation

ARLINGTON, Texas – In the final moments of Sunday's game, with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Matt Cassell driving another loss into the AT&T Stadium turf, team owner Jerry Jones sat alone near the front of his skybox balcony. The look on his face was vacant, a 1,000-yard stare into the wreckage of the past month.

He looked numb, in the worst kind of way.

This was an important game for us," Jones said after the Cowboys' 13-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, dropping Dallas to 2-5 and last place in the NFC East. "The third win is critical. I never thought I would be standing here saying it in this way."

Dallas still doesn't have that all-important third win. It lost that opportunity, and seems to be losing more with each passing week. Starting with the early season optimism, which had this franchise pegged as a Super Bowl favorite in the NFC. That hope fractured somewhere between the clavicle of quarterback Tony Romo and the foot of wideout Dez Bryant. Next to go were the emotions, which reached a rolling boil between Greg Hardy's sideline antics last week and Bryant's locker room composure Sunday night. The mindset of the Cowboys' star wideout was a far cry from the season-opening win against the New York Giants, when he hopped around on his broken foot, singing the praises of Dallas' resiliency.

That seemed so far away Sunday night, as Bryant profanely snapped on a group of reporters gathering near his locker.

The media is in full on sensationalist mode and loving every minute of it.

Clicks on computers and eyes on the screen is what they want and that's what they get when they act like its some weird thing when a player for the Cowboys gets frustrated.

The season is operatively over, no matter which way anybody wants to slice it. Unfortunate that we had bad luck this year.

I've been watching for fun/emotionless since Romo got hurt and it's been a lot easier on my heart. Haha.

7-9 or even 6-10 are more likely outcomes to me at this point. Hate to be that pessimistic but this feels like a lost season.

The bright side is that 7-9 could win the division

I still think 8-8 is possible if the defense continues to play well.

"Frustration aren't as profane". Bad English.

I hope so. This teams needs some W's and confidence, otherwise we will think it's just because 1 or 2 players were out, and not because we need a real QB alternative to step in for Tony now and in the near term future.

This is the one time that it isn't just flat pessimism, though. Without your starting QB, you're usually flatly screwed in this league - all 32 teams. Pittsburgh was simply lucky a team or two **** the bed against Mike Vick, who still didn't look like anything more than a more athletic Weeden in his spot duty.

Those players don't get antagonized by the media like Dez does

they aren't ranting and raving like a lunatic on the sideline(and field, locker room) either. he invited this coverage.

you have to be smart. this situation ain't changing until tony returns. me(dez) acting a fool will not change that fact. why bring the attention to yourself? all the screaming will not make cassel a better player. use your head.

 

[cowboyblue22]

if you keep your composure and your mouth shut things usually work out lots better for you dez is going to have to learn that the hard way.

Your agenda is showing. Dez could sit on the sideline and literally be praying to God and get bad coverage. Its all media. Did you not read the tweet from Bruce Irvin? he was talking to the officials, no one else.

So if you are accused of something you didn't do by the media, which could potentially cost you millions of dollars, you would keep your mouth shut? They literally made a clip of Dez saying something he didn't say last night and reported it as fact. Sure, that's fair. You people amaze me. How about people start asking for some integrity out of the media instead of letting them say and do whatever they want to get clicks. That seems like the best course of action. Instead, our fans blame Dez for people making things up about him and speaking his mind. God forbid.

Really? For saying the Bruce Irvin said Dez was speaking to the officials? Knock yourself out

Dez was never yelling at Cassel. He never acted like a fool the entire game. But I don't expect you with your never ending quest to spew hatred on Dez to be able to be able to comprehend that.

Dez was talking to the officials, and amping up the team in the huddle, that's really all I saw. Oh, and he was down on one knee praying for the injured player. What a horrible human being, we should trade him immediately for a 3rd round pick just to get his horrible attitude off of the team.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

 

[Risen Star]

I'm a little tired of Dez Bryant's act. He's the kind of guy who sulks and pouts during times of adversity.

Tremendous talent but he lacks between the ears to ever truly reach his potential.
