Having the sun be a factor at all was a stupid choice by whoever chose the direction the stadium would face.

Pretty simple.

We have a roof. We could close it.

I know, I'm out of my element.

Eight straight losses at home now.

I can't summarize bc I'm driving but he kinda called out Garrett for not using the sun issue to our advantage.
How's that?

Either our receivers are looking into the sun, or our quarterback is.

Why won't Jerry just pull the curtain down? Because his stajum isn't as pretty. That's why.

Jesus, the sun is a factor maybe once a year. Quit crying, people. We're not going to put up some stupid drapes, or tint the windows, or cover the entire stadium with a tarp.

People may of thought he was senile before, but now ya see why he built the "stad-yum" like he did.


No kidding.

Jerry: In my mind, those curtains are nice, but I love me some glory sunshine, too. Now i'm not trying to be trite, but we are playing in the best stadium in the world and that's all that matters.

This is exactly why we have the dumbest organization in the league. You couldn't make this up if you tried. I must give Jerry credit for being the best businessman in the league, but this won't win us Super Bowls.

It's not like Witten dropped a TD.

Is that all they talked about was the sun?? What about the crappy gameplan, and losing the 14th game without Romo???

Had they run Witten to the other side of the field, there was no sun. Instead, they lined him up on the right side and ran his route directly where he was looking straight back into the sun.
That wouldn't be "using the sun to your advantage", that would just be not letting the sun be a disadvantage. I fail to see how JJ could call Garrett out for not using the sun to his advantage. I think ol' Jerry is full of **** on this one.

Oh yes there is. First, you take the side that gives you the advantage in the 4th quarter if you have the chance. Second, it's their home field. They should have a specific set of plays designed to neutralize the effect of the sun. They should know from where the QB can throw to a WR and take the sun out of the play and design plays for that. Roll the QB out so he is throwing from a position where the sun is not directly at his back. Do something to limit the impact. It is beyond my comprehension that a pro football coach would allow the design of his stadium to negatively impact his team without even trying to do something about it. It could become a huge advantage if you are prepared for it when other teams are not.
How about just closing the ******* roof...or put up the ******* curtain that they claim to have...

David Moore said yesterday that the developer said their was supposed to be buildings and development on that side of the stadium to block the glass at that time of day, but it hasn't happened. ty!
I guess makes sense, but also sounds like a load of bs someone fed Moore. Would have to be some fairly big/Tall buildings.

All these *&* %^&*&^ saying forget the sun has never played football EVER in their lives. For those of us who have played, the sun can and WILL screw you from catching passes. It's happened to me on more than one occasion. You don't think that one or two drops can change the theme of the game?

Anyone who's played little league baseball knows the sun can make the ball disappear. It's a legitimate excuse.

Roof was closed, it's coming thru the windows at the end of the stadium
I realized that after I posted my reply. I read, though, that they have curtains for the windows and, in fact, recently used them very effectively for some concert. This is all just trite BS anyways. If the sun is the worst situation this team has to deal with, then we should have a lobby overflowing with SB trophies.
