Losing this bad used to hurt

[youngjerryjones]

Of course it looked like it was over early but it really the big momentum swing was when Brooke slipped and it turned into an interception right before the half and turned into points for them I mean that was a big swing that was a momentum swing and that was the play and moment that I felt like we were gonna lose the game for sure and not make a comeback there was a chance like in the Seattle game last year with the defense didn't show up and we went score for score and then eventually they made a stopper 2 on defense and then we won the game so that could've happened it but that is why I didn't turn the game off until into the third quarter but I knew at that moment when Brooke slipped and let's be clear that interception was totally on the receiver slipping it was a perfectly thrown ball that was putting us in scoring position and who knows could have got a touchdown there it would have been a big swing 'cause we were getting the ball back in the second-half so we ran more time off the clock go....he ball back there was still a chance.

No I didn't watch the fourth quarter it's not unusual for me I just had to turn it off and get back to calming down so that way I would sleep better there was no way I wanted to keep watching but I definitely watched into the third quarter 'cause you never know but yes that moment to me brooke sli....swing that absolutely killed the game....

I agree, but even after the Brooks INT I thought getting the ball back, scoring a TD and 3 and out would put us right back to when Ceedee made it 21-13…the game was in reach until Brooks slipped but Dak cannot miss that 1st down pass to Zeke coming out of the half, that was our death sentence

There was a time that I would be screaming and throwing empty beer cans at the TV when the Cowboys were playing this bad. The whole neighborhood would know the Cowboys were losing. Not anymore, I just mutter to myself W-T-H in disbelief.

I guess I'm just sick and tired of the BS year after year. Nothing will change, ever.

We’re moving on to Baltimore

sorry it wasn't..lol good try putting it on Dak again.. Look I'd have to watch the play again but if I remember right he was super rushed and just couldn't get anything on the ball.. Like I believe a guy was in his face I mean I I still remember the play but that's not the one that changed the game sure that would have helped if they could have got the ball out there but that didn't guarantee he gets in the end zone what if he fumble it what if he got hit what if his knee would have flew off you want to go on these what if games? All I know is at that point Brooke slipped down and it turned into an interception it turned into a complete turn around because he ran the ball back and then they scored a touchdown that was the turning point in momentum and in the game in my opinion I'm sorry you're looking at a play that I believe Prescott had a guy in his face from the snap want to talk about the offensive line man I don't remember who that was but I believe it was Kent Steele getting beat right off the snap but I'd have to remember again because I sort of lost some of my details from yesterday because I just want to forget about the game. I mean if we're gonna do that then we can just go to that play earlier and they gonna blame who CD lamb for coming inside where Prescott the quarterback who's probably got a better read on the play thought he was going outside would've been a touchdown and we could do the what if game all day but what I do know as we got right back down the field until Brooke slipped and then this created a full run back and they got a new scoring range and scored rather easily again that seems to me the momentum killer the game turns around on that at least the chance of winning that game turned around right there...

Look man I just went back and watched it and it wasn't hard to find and I'll tell you right now two out of those 3 plays the one he flipped to zeke guy coming free off the edge it's kinda hard to throw the ball when you have a dude that's 6 foot 5 in your face from the snap making you run backwards to try to to play alive and then throw the ball forward and outside... You act like he missed like a normal throw that was not normal... Let me go back and watch it at the snap dude was right in his face he had to retreat and while retreating he had to try to throw the ball to the sideline to zeke running away from the play... It literally just came up short like it got a string pull because he couldn't put anything on it at all he's running backwards zeke's running forward his vision's block I mean yeah like that was a standard play and it wasn't...

Which is fine, I agree with your momentum swing but that opportunity to get a TD there after half was really our last chance considering the score and timing.

Brooks falling doesn’t help anyone, but with Lattimore out you would think Ceedee would get targeted there or Tolbert not the 4th WR who likely got the least amount of reps in the group with the QB.

My issue is Dak is trying to spread the ball around maybe MM is but when Schoon and Ceedee seem to be the only viable options to throw it Brooks way when we need a must score on a crucial down is asinine. This isn’t me blaming Dak trust me with Mahomes we still lose but just showing Dak needs to give it to Ceedee on the must have it plays I’d rather live with Ceedee dropping or tipping the pass than lean on Brooks

right want to stick to your thought process this is Mike McCarthy I mean what I saw is not with Prescott's choosing either nobody was open to push this downfield there may have been no separation and then you add the pressure where he has to get it off before they can get open they were checking it down a lot, i don't think that's his fault..

I'm not trying to make excuses but you know Mahomes had 158 yards passing and two interceptions last night, and guess what they won the game now he's talking about his bad game because they won,

but it's really odd right because Prescott allegedly didn't have a great second-half in the first game, and we won but they picked apart his game is it at the same type of game I mean Prescott had no turnovers in game one no interceptions won the game but people here were picking it apart Mahomes had a bad game and they still won the game. Lamar Jackson is 0-2 right now.. There are some Super Bowl frontrunners that not been playing well the first two weeks and a lot of them are making over $50 million a year at quarterback as well....

I sure hope Phillis loses tonight because that would take the sting off a bit LOL

I gave up on Jerry and my hopes for a return to the SB once Parcells left. I knew Jerry was gonna go back to his puppet coaches once again. I started viewing the Cowboy games as pure entertainment and have not invested any emotional energy into them. There is no accountability in this team from the FO down. So what do you expect?

Tom Brady disagreed with you, heck but what does he know, he's just a dumb broadcaster vs. your great experience.

I never miss any game time, but with 2 minutes left I switched to the Giants-Commanders game, missing the end of our game.. They still had 6 minutes left in there game and it was tied 18-18.

If this was a one off, I wouldn't feel this way. Jerry built this, so now he owns it. The Dak signing was his last death toll and what his last legacy will be known for.

I guess I'm just sick and tired of the BS year after year. Nothing will change, ever.

I think it's just maturing as an adult and realizing there is much more to life than football .

 

[SlammedZero]

Yup, I shared the same sentiment in the GameDay thread yesterday. My wife walked in, saw the score, and said "eek". Then she looked over at me and said "well, you don't seem mad". Nope. I'm done letting this clown show affect me emotionally. For years and years I sunk my fan emotions into this team and over and over I continued to get burnt. I'm done with it now. They win a game, cool. If they lose a game, whatever.

The second 49ers playoff game is what really turned the final page for me. I think it was growing in me over the years, but that was the final chapter for me before I decided it's just no longer worth sinking emotions into anymore. Not as long as The Jones' boys are running this team.

 

[1time4urMind]

This is exactly how I feel. 2 drives into the game, I knew it was over. I just turned it off.

Only way this streak of mediocrity ends is when the family sells the team. And that's not happening anytime soon.

Yup. I think it was two drives when I realized the same thing.
