Let's simplify

How can we change this?
Bludgeon me with the queen mum's curling iron, red bloke!
You've come to the right place for expert analysis!

1. Stephen gains increased power.
For the immediate future:
2. Let Ridley go. Too high, too expensive, too coddled in the Alabama system of stars. Go for D.J. Chark, 6'3" 187, from LSU. His stock keeps rising. Fatten him up with Little Anita's Mexican food.
3. Next, hold out for the best available run stuffer. Fat, mean, an agile devil!
4. Tell Dez and Witten their automatic starts are over.
5. Hope for a head knocker safety in the draft or via trade.
There ya go, matey!
Your man crush,
Gimme!

#9 & company WERE a thundering herd of post apocalyptic road warriors in 2014:yourock:


Home or Away,instilling that expectation of winning amongst the ranks requires guidance,motivation & a revered level of MOXIE/MO-JO,( A respected style of LEADERSHIP)
That Can only come from that rare breed of HEAD COACH, like a Lombardi or a Shula or a Landry ( I'll even throw in a Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy in there,also)
Bill Belichick knows if he's not done HIS job come game day the odds of walking off victorious are greatly diminished,,,, I don't believe GARRETT approaches the attack plan on game day with a firm conviction in winning it,,,, but more along the lines of hoping it flops in his teams favour ,,,,that's gotta changeo_O
 
There are two kinds of fans, those that cheer in order to make something good happen and those that wait for something good to happen to cheer. Dallas fans have usually been the latter except for the playoffs and they're in so infrequently that the fans lose their good cheer.

It also doesn't take much to shut down the home crowd, they wait for the team to pick them up. They're not the type crowd to rally the team but they can be rallied.

In my experience Dallas hasn't had enough fans just happy to be there, they seem to be there for a purpose, a win. Had some pretty raucous crowds back in the 90's but winning brought that. Ya wanna louder crowd, ya gotta give them more wins and something to cheer about.

That is alot to chew on..

but sensical.

Where is Little Anita's Mexican food?

Across the street from Nate Newton's house?

I'm in on #2,4 and 5.
 
The fans in the stadium are pretty loud. They yell their ***** off as loud as they can. But it's a really big stadium with a very high roof.

I think accoustically it's just not ever going to be as loud as some other stadiums, even some outdoor stadiums, because of the way it is constructed.
 
From a football standpoint, more speed on both sides of the ball. The Cowboys are currently built like an outdoor team that plays in cold weather. Offense is based on strong OL play, dominant running game, and controlling the clock. Not a lot of speed on either side of the ball, which doesn't help when opposing teams come in and have no trouble playing on the fast turf. The offense needs to strike fear into teams that come into our stadium and the defense needs to have speed to make opposing offenses pay by forcing them into turnovers when they feel pressured to throw the ball a lot to keep up.

This is always a topic during the season. Cowboys fans are good fans and we usually have a good home crowd.

The problem is that if you’re a fan of another team and you can pick one road trip per year, you’re almost always going to pick the game against the Cowboys.

For that reason, opposing fans always pack our stadium. Sometimes they’re loud and obnoxious.

Not really sure how you change that. Some teams force you to buy two tickets at a time, but scalpers would just do that then sell the singles.

Show your team loyalty. Only sell your ticket to another Dallas fan.

Another topic that has been discussed several times is Cowboys season ticket holders that sell their tickets to the opposing fan base. I for one will never tell someone how they should handle their money, none of my business. I can totally understand why a season ticket holder would want to offset the costs of the outrageous prices of PSL's plus season tickets by selling tickets for certain games. I also understand some fans frustrations at seeing 1/3 of the stadium filled with opposing fans, depending on the team and their fan base. You see the disgust in opposing teams stadiums when Cowboy nation takes over the stadium which we see all the time.

Another issue is the Bi-Polar nature of teams under JG. Other than 2016 season and the great December run during the 2014 season you never know what to expect from this team game to game. I actually debate my Cowboy buddies on this topic. 90% of the time I feel more confident in this team when they play on the road. i don't know if it's players being distracted by various things when playing at home, but you see the Cowboys very focused when playing on the road. Nothing game me more Joy than watching Dak and Zeke, go into GB and Pitt and being fearless while kicking those teams butts. Unlike places like Seattle, Pittsburgh and Green Bay, in Dallas there is no mystique where the home team has a competitive advantage before the game has even started. The Cowboys have zero home mystique and no teams fear playing at ATT&T Stadium. This is not a knock on the Cowboys fans who go to the games. They seem to be loud and into the game but at times it is hard to tell while watching on TV.

The stadium is so massive that there does not seem to be any connection between the field and the fans in the stands. In other stadiums, as big plays are happening you see the reaction from the crowd as the play is unfolding. The only fan reaction you see on TV at ATT Stadium, is usually only the first few rows of fans in the seats since they seem up higher than a lot of other stadiums, our on a big play the first few rows directly behind the end zones. This is strictly observations from my TV screen. I have traveled a bunch to go to Texas Stadium but I haven't been to a game at ATT yet. Obviously lots of great season tickets holder on CZ that could give us the scoop. If they do show a crowd shot, it is usually of a famous ex Cowboy in his luxury box or a fan sitting none of the high dollar seats near the field. Remember the fan shots at Texas Stadium? Besides Crazy Ray, who can forget the lady screaming in slo mo as Danny White threw a soul crushing pick vs the Rams in the 83 playoffs. Or in the 90's they had the stalker chick with the marry me Troy sign, the trip looking dude who would yell "Throw to the 88" while having a "Playmaker" license plate frame around his neck, and lots others, good times!

JJ has pretty thick skin but gets pretty testy whenever he is asked about this topic. One last thought, the Cowboys were the first team to use the Company that built the stadium and kind of rocked the boat by choosing them over established companies that most teams were using at the time. Now that company is highly sought after and have pretty much raised the bar in every way regarding how stadiums are built. I read a great article about this so sorry if I am rambling. When they built the new stadium for the Vikings they were told that acoustics were very important regarding fan noise and that was the primary objective. Just as the Seahawks stadium was constructed to maximize fan noise even thought it is an outdoor stadium. In Dallas they were told certain aesthetics and the wow factor was a higher priority. If you google it it's a pretty interesting read. Looking forward to hearing from the season ticket holders than go to the games as I know there are a lot of awesome ones in the CZ.

When you win, fans get rowdy. Rabidity is a function of victory. 8-8 just generates the occasional clap. Want rabid fans. Just win. Give the mob something to yell about.

Some would argue 8-8 generates an excess of consistent claps.

I know you guys are dizzy by now with the draft and the player profiles.

I am.

new concept

I think one of our biggest problems by far is the inability to win at home consistently.

Been that way since we built AT&T.

If we can win more at home..

we win like in 2016.

We play lights out on the road.

How can we change this.?

Until we do..we will never win a title.

How can we address this?

here..see what I mean about road games.

Feel good for a moment..be sure to click on Watch on YouTube link.

Too many corporate seats with casual fans going to the games and using it for a social event!

I caught my first game last year against the eagles and I was going crazy in the stands...and we all know how that turned out...:facepalm:

Can’t wait to head back down this season actually, just got to figure out who I want to see them play!
 
Coach your team to be prepared to play anywhere and don't allow distractions. Coaching, what a concept.
