CFZ I'm taking this loss a bit harder than usual

[Shane612]

It was bad, but it was just the third game of the season and just one loss.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

LOL, just one of many games. Season over?

I'm not saying the season is over. Read what I said in the last paragraph. I'm just distraught because we looked completely useless today and it feels like we have a lot of times where the wheels fall off. I explained all the reasons I'm upset about the loss. At no point did I say the season was over.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Just enjoy the season in its Totality. Try to even appreciate the cardinals and Dobbs. Their young coach. There weird fans and there haunted field that we struggle on. Gotta love football sundays

 

[DStar22]

I know it's just a game. I didn't expect us to go undefeated. However, I'm finding myself taking this loss harder than usual. I know I shouldn't, but this loss hurt. I'm always going to be a Cowboys fan. I enjoy this forum. I will never be a fan of an NFL team other than the Cowboys. I want to make that crystal clear, and that's not changing with this loss. Let me just explain what's on my psyche. If nothing else, this is a chance for me to just write my thoughts as it's better at times to write out my frustrations than keep them inside of me. So, please, do not take this as me quitting or anything. I'm simply putting my thoughts to paper, if you will. I'll be watching the game against the Patriots next week, and the following game and so on. I'm just struggling with this defeat.

To start with, I'm 30. I haven't seen the success many of you have. So, when I saw our defence playing like it did in the first two weeks, I got a bit more excited than usual. Of course, I know the Cowboys will likely blow it at some point. Only one team can win the SB, after all. Plus, I've never seen us even make the NFCC. So, all I know is us blowing it at some point in the season, and the wheels falling off. But, I couldn't help but think that this might be a special year. It still might be. It's only one game. That said, this looked like a better team than I'm used to seeing from the Cowboys.

Then, the injuries started popping up this week. I understand. It's the NFL. It's hard to go against another NFL team when you're down as many players as we were today. It's just, why is it every time something looks to be going our way for once, something disastrous always seems to happen? At first, I saw reports we'd be down a few linemen. That's okay, I thought, we have a great offense. What I didn't expect was that we'd practically be down everyone on that unit but Steele and I think Tyler Smith. Then came the worst of it. The Diggs injury. I was posting in hope that maybe we could mitigate that. And maybe we still will, but it certainly took some wind out of my sails for this week.

Then there's the fact that we were playing the Cardinals. I've been a fan since either 1999 or 2000 (not really sure which year). Very rarely have I seen us beat the Cardinals. Especially in Arizona. I don't understand it. Why is it that we so rarely seem to beat Arizona? This might be the one win they get this year, and it's always us, it seems, that gets embarrassed by teams like the Cardinals.

Finally, the refs were horrible! Absolutely disgraceful. We did no favours by committing the penalties we did, but it was so unevenly officiated. There were at least 3 PIs in the end zone that the refs never called. Those were at least 3 possible TDs taken off the board. Then the hold in the end zone that they said was at the 1. The amount of times Micah was getting held. All in all, I felt the refs were horrible.

All in all, I'm absolutely reeling from this defeat ATM. I know I shouldn't be. I know it's only a game, and I've seen plenty of losses from the Cowboys. It's just more difficult this game because I thought we were a much better team than we seem to be today. Hopefully, everyone will be healthier next game. I know Diggs is out, but hopefully, we can have a full compliment of oline players next game. Hopefully, we can actually score a touchdown in the Red zone. Hopefully, we can beat the Patriots.

Chiefs, 49ers and (blech) Eagles.

watch them play. we MUST look like them or better, consistently winning almost every game, able to turn a game even if losing and win it OR losing VERY CLOSELY against the opposition if we want to advance to the big show.

We must have HFA.

Anything is possible, but If , in any given season, we cannot do that, you should not get your hopes up.

the game bothers me none. I'll run outside and jump over rainbows and play with the unicorns later. All will be good.

I understand that. It's just frustrating when I've never seen success, and I am getting the sinking feeling that I'm not sure I ever will.

 

[zack]

I used to be that way. The loss would ruin my week. The losses don’t bother me like they used to. Way more important things and EXPECT to be disappointed by this team year in and year out.
I have a closet full of jerseys and hats I don’t wear anymore. I’ve taken down all my Cowboys stuff from my office and replaced it with pictures of my twins who are college athletes. Stuff that actually matters.
Watch it for what it is, entertainment. if you expect to be disappointed, the losses won’t hurt as much.
Watching today, I knew right after the first series they lost the game. It’s just how the Cowboys are. You can generally tell what type of day it’s going to be.

It is hard to overcome losing 3 probowlers on the o-line and your no.1 all pro corner. Don't take this too hard.

Sure, and I guess one of the nice things for me is that the stars are a prominent feature of my character that I use constantly. It's fun because I based them on the Cowboys, but I get to use them for my own personal stuff too.

I appreciate that

 

[DStar22]

Eventually we will get there. It might not be during the JJ era, everything has to hit at just the right time.


it's not that we don't have good players and coaches, because we do. I honestly think it is the atmosphere in the organization atm.

 

[JohnsKey19]

@RustyBourneHorse
Y’all have to learn to expect the worst when it comes to this team. Like you’re watching a movie. It stinks but it’s the only way you’ll survive as a fan of the Cowboys. Thankfully I’m able to flush any anger within 5 minutes of a disappointing Cowboys game. But I understand your pain. I was the same many years ago.

 

[zack]

At least you were able to see this team win a SB

That was so long ago that it doesn’t even seem like it happened.

 

[texbumthelife]

TBH, this is a game that a Suped Bowl quality QB wins.

 

[This is Our Year]

It’s an amazing what happens when you’re without 3 starting offensive linemen and your best cornerback. Not to mention all the terrible penalties. A lot because of those lineman playing.

Ughhhhh

Im with you. I thought this year might be different. I, mercifully, didn't get/have to watch this game today. They had the Chiefs game on FOX in my area.
Thanks for summing up todays game for us who didn't see the game. I was following the play by play online and was just stunned that they were down by 2 scores with such little time left and just kept running the ball as if we were up by the 2 scores - WOW.
I think the problems against the Cardinals are because they have more than not been a bad team and we always seem to look past them and show up thinking its an easy W. They are playing like its the Super Bowl to them and the Cowboys act like just showing up is good enough to win.
I am most disappointed in MM - and his obviously not having his team ready to play today. It seems he failed at both OC & HC today.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I'm taking this hard because I was starting to buying into the bit where we might have the best Defense in the NFL. Noteworthy Defense, good quarterback, was a sign that this might be a promising season. I was hoping that we would gain some steam heading up to the measuring stick game of vs. the 49ers. Instead, this game turned out to be a measuring stick game...

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

This team is beyond frustrating. After the last two weeks even I was dreaming that this could be a special year. Well I got taken back to reality today. Unless this defense plays at an elite level. this team has no chance. And it still plays down to it's competition. The offense is just bad.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

A bit hard to do that when your WRs are getting held 3+ times in the end zone. It looked like we were playing Blitz the League 2 with how badly our WRs were getting held.

the non call on Lamb was atrocious, flag is thrown then say no DPI

The line did enough to win the game.
