I’ve been following the Cowboys for decades, ever since the early 70s and witnessed all 5 of their championships and the 2019 team is without question the most heartless, uninspired, least motivated Cowboys team I’ve ever seen. Everything bad about this team was on full display last Sunday in Philly against a depleted Eagles team. The Cowboys showed absolutely no desire to win despite the fact they could have clinched the division title. There was no sense of urgency or intensity.
It was almost like they were just mailing in the game looking forward to the offseason. I feel sorry for you younger fans who weren’t around for the 70s and 90s. Emmitt Smith was a warrior who wanted to be great as did the Cowboys teams he played for. The money has gotten so big these days that some players just play for huge contract extensions. Once they get paid they just shut it down. They’re motivated by second contracts not championships.
