I found something disturbing during this game

[SoupcanSam]

Towards the end of the game, the amount of content and satisfaction on multiple players faces were mind blowing.

Players sitting on the bench talking as if they are good, or glad finally the season is coming to an end.

As if they were just ready to go home and enjoy life. There was zero care. At one point the camera was on Micah and lamb, sitting and talking and I swear they both had smirks or smiles.

You would have thought we were up by 30 plus points.

Even the packers didn't smile as much towards the end. It looked like they just got bored of kicking our azz and was ready for the clock to hit zero and head on out.

I swear it looked like the packer players finally got exhausted kicking our azz so bad.

Maybe if I was a millionaire getting blown out I wouldn't care has much either. That is some of the vibe I got from our players. Micah is probably more happy looking forward to yapping on his podcast than anything etc.

Those paychecks are REALLY big.

They knew they were toast before the 3rd quarter was over at 41-16. We all did. Throwing their helmets at the end of the game would've just been for show.

It's not 1985
...

It's about the next deal and the dollars....this is why micah is ok saying he will follow DQ...

This is also why the NFL is going to die a quick death

Yes they are! you would smile too down by 30!

That's what today's players do...this happens on every team.

Big E wouldnt have been down for that.

The are still getting paid a boatload of money.

They might look a little more worried if they end up having to play for Bill. The coddling days would be over.

Most definitely but unfortunately we do not have a player of that caliber any longer

More disturbing to me is that right before the game, LeFleur's face had a smirk on it, like he knew what was coming. Now of course maybe he was just super confident he would win. Some people are like that.

And not only that, I noticed several times the referees were right next to a Dallas player (Parsons near the end of the game for one) who were clearly a victim of unnecessary roughness, and the official just looked at it and walked off.

Rigged game?

That'd be hard to do, maybe I'm just putting a bit of sour grapes on the loss, but Love in his FIRST playoff game he has a PERFECT qb rating?

Whatever, just seems a bit suspicious....

I dont stress over the cowboys anymore for a long time now. But it has to suck for the fans that do, and are the outside consumer hoping to one day see a deep playoff run or SB.

I understand the players get paid and don't care, but the fans deserve more I feel. I also feel those fans should start to simmer their emotions nowadays.

It was easy for me to let go after I realized players owner/ coaches etc could care less about the fans.

I used to post on this board everyday years back. Now I post anywhere from 2-5 times a year. This team has just drained me of the deep passion I had for this team and game.

For you new posters, I am not new here, I've been around for a long time, since the old espn forum a zillion years ago it seems.

You all have fun and try not to stress about this loss.

I'm off the rig game stuff. I mean its the cowboys. They would easily be one of the most watched in the playoffs and SB. Playoff rating will definitely take a dive with the cowboys out including the SB.

It would only make since for a rig to swing the cowboys way, not the opposite.

The cowboys just showed up and lost. I believe the cowboys disappointed more than just their fans. I believe it just sucked for the whole football space. The only other interesting team left worth ratings is the 49ers, and even they wont get the rating dallas would have gotten.

Dallas really disappointed many out there.

Jerry should go in the locker room and if anyone is dancing or listening to music he should do what they Beam did in the movie Moneyball.

I guarantee the losses always sting but the paychecks are the perfect analgesics

This, but I believe it's even worse in Dallas where the owner promote an atmosphere of 'You have reached the top because you are a Dallas Cowboy!'

It's more than the NFL too, look at the MLB where one team can spend over 1 Billion dollars on free agents and then defer most of their salary down to road 10 years to try and pile up Championships.

Might as well start following Tennis or Golf where you are just rooting for an individual player
