Killer Instinct

[Pants]

We need to get Thailand on the Cowboys schedule.

we play the giants twice per year?

The last time I saw a killer instinct was vs the colts in 2014

As far as I’m concerned if you’re up 59-0 with 4 seconds left you still need to be playing hard

The USA soccer women were playing a team that is one of the weakest in the tournament. That sort of result isn't from not stepping off the gas or having a killer instinct -- it is what happens when you have a completely outmatched opponent and players who, frankly, need to score and be in the spotlight to make a decent living through endorsement deals because their salaries lag massively behind men.

Their salaries lag behind men for the same reason WNBA salaries lag behind the NBA. The male sports generate a lot more revenue - billions more.

But yeah, using USA vs Thailand as an example of what the Cowboys should do to other NFL teams is quite a stretch.

We need to take a clue from our USA soccer gals and learn to not step off the gas, ever. Too many close games, we need to close the deal and put away the teams that we should.

This ain't the 90's dynasty.......yet

No. It is because the owners choose to allow that situation. 20k more per player isn't about revenue. It is about rich owners paying less because they can get away with it. That's roughly 500k for each team.

That's because they play them UNC players haha

Point differential to break ties is huge in soccer. That is why they played like they needed to keep scoring.

The Jimmy Johnson theory....as long as yall playing defense we gonna keep playing offense.

So now its a Jimmy Johnson thread. I liked him a lot as head coach.

Do you guys remember the year the Patriots were just blowing teams out of the water? I mean most of their games were literally over by half-time. People were *****ing that they were being "un-sportsman like" for not holding back and for keeping Brady in the games when the games were obviously over. I was one of the few that gave kudos to them, especially when they blew the doors off the Skins. This team has not had that fire for years. How many times have we seen this team let off the gas and then it became a game? When you get a team down, you keep pounding them until the end. Too bad if people don't like it. You make them fear you...

 

[Ranched]

well, if cowboys played against a division 3 team which is what Tailand is in soccer, then we would see a similar score and killer instinct.

IF that were true than why did the Cowboys lose 17-20 to Washington last season, let alone slither by 2 wins over the cellar dweller Gnats?
Never mind, I forgot Washington & NY are both Division 2 teams.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

In the Garrett era its not about winning...

Its about the players not giving up on garrett, forget about the w's .

 

[risco]

I agree. This team has the personnel to be a bully. Zeke. OL. Tank. Nasty LBs. Be a bully.

Hmm, are you sure? We have a bunch of RKGs. I have never seen a Jason Garrett version of a bully.

I am sure. The problem is Garrett. Read my post.

I think that was the year after deflate gate or some other annual controversy that team always has.
But they were mad about something and wanted to show the world. So they ran up the scores as a revenge theme.
