News: ESPN: Sidelined McCarthy lauds Cowboys' 'adversity win'

[Haimerej]

Honestly, I think the adversities MM is talking about were the issues ( I can't say in this zone ) beyond their control.

Well yeah. I'm just saying comparing what this team was dealing with to what's happening in NO is a bit different. I think NO has a bigger handicap.

Nice to see you're as eloquent as ever.

So now it's who had the bigger issues? (LOL)

It's why I've said, who cares, we got the win which is way better than a loss.

 

[Haimerej]

On the road, against one of the best coaches in the NFL and in one of the toughest places to play in the NFL, made this an adversity win. There were even some pundits and analysts on the morning shows who picked the Cowboys to lose this game I believe.

Which was based on how they've looked recently moreso than an endorsement of NO. But I still can't see how NO wasn't objectively worse off.

Well... yeah. I mean... they had a Wildcat QB playing the whole game. But we're crowing about overcoming adversity? Sorry if I have a different sense of humor, but I think that's funny.

Not sure this should qualify as an adversity win. I mean, the Saints "QB" could barely throw 10 yards downfield.

Imagine a healthy Dak with that oline and no weapons, he'd been lucky to get 3 on the board.

 

[Runwildboys]

Hill had longer runs than he did throws.

Yeah, and I don't know how to feel about that.

 

[Runwildboys]

I'm not sure some fans realize how hard it is to win in this league, especially this time of the year.

We do, but we also realize how easy it would've been for some other teams in this league to win against that team.

 

[Runwildboys]

Yes they did. That seems to happen to this team a lot over the years.
The difference is. This time they pulled out a win, instead of finding a way too lose.
They have several games like that this year. So things are changing for the better from that viewpoint.

As said that is a tough place to play.

Good points.

 

[BobSacamano]

Their own…

 

[pancakeman]

I heard loud and enthusiastic cheering every time the Cowboys made a big play.
As an indoor stadium full of a big contingent of Cowboys fans, should we really still be considering the Superdome "one of the toughest places to play in the NFL"? If so, why?

On the road in the Superdome and everything else going on, along with the losing streak, this is an adversity win. We needed a win, and we got one.

If facing that team under those conditions is overcoming adversity then this team should toughen up. They played a JV team and did what they were supposed to do- win.
