Marshall: "We won the game before it even started"

[Risen Star]

Like I said I don't know who it was. It was probably five or six of those large travel buses with blacked out windows and a police escort. Too many buses for cheer leading squad I think. I doubt television crew either. I really don't know. It also might have been as much as an hour prior but no more than that because I remember we were nervous we weren't gonna make it to the stadium by kickoff.

I don't know who it was either but I know it wasn't the team. No team arrives an hour before the game.

 

[Bleu Star]

Nailed.

Winning is hard. It's even harder when you already have excuses laid out.

I live in Chicago and nearly sold my tickets and watched the game at a bar. It was nasty cold last night, so much that I wasnt prepared for it. I cant imagine how a dome team from a warm climate felt getting off the plane.

 

[Bleu Star]

Chances are they get paid a lot more than you. Enough to definitely be prepared for it.

I believe Marshall... We have a bunch of puffballs on this team and it shows!!!! Garrett should be fired.

Was the "Garrett should be fired" just thrown in at the end of that profound post, or we're you implying that Garrett is directly responsible for the puffballs?

I remember being at the Vikings game and watching the teams warm up. Cowboys were closer to me, Vikings on the opposite side.

The Cowboys warmups looked like a bunch of peewee players. No organization, everyone just jogging around, doing their own thing. Meanwhile, the Vikings were running actually practice reps, people were hustling, etc.

We ended up winning the game but I remember being surprised at how unfocused our warmups were. It was just warm ups, so I took it with a grain of salt, but I certainly didn't see any urgency prior to kickoff.

That's a good point. And I watch a ton of high school sports, and you can tell the teams that are organized. Organization may sound like it's not a part of what happens on the field, but believe me, we are still unorganized as a unit. Kiffin should voluntarily quit.

"We won that game last night before it even started. Me, Alshon, and Martellus went out to warm up before the game and nobody from Dallas was even out there. The weather already in their heads. I said 'We got this.'"

"The elements were already in their head, Pre-game, I believe that we won."

Marshall is a wrong or he is a liar.

Pregame video showed Romo and others out there. Specifically church out there sleeveless.

Besides the fact that he is wrong or lying... I do remember seeing him and some other bears players on the sidelines, with the body coats on while huddled by a heater.

I don't know which is sillier... Him for making that up or others for believing it.

Unless Garrett brought industrial sized coolers to the death star, there is no way to prepare for that kind of cold.

Murray in particular had a few opportunities early to lower his shoulder and knock the hell out of a Bear, but he meekly ran out of bounds like it was the two minute drill.

 

[Fredd]

The team did not arrive 30-45 minutes before the game.

no, they didn't show up before or DURING the game either

 

[Bleu Star]

I've played in it before. Cold and snow. Try playing in the heights of the Blue Ridge Mountains in January. Pensacola Lightning vs the Asheville Grizzlies in their house. A picturesque area and cold as all get out. Game time temp was 15-20 degrees with a strong wind. So with wind chill we were probably in the single digits. We beat them in their house with a solid run game, play action, screens, and stingy defense. We had an identity. It was frigid but the execution of our game plan made for a great bus ride back to Pensacola. My point.. With solid preparation, team focus, and adherence to the plan, it can easily happen.

Yet we came out of the gates with our best smash mouth drive in months.

We lost this game because the defense can't stop anyone. The O was clearly revved up and knocking heads.

 

[Lonestar94]

When the heck was that??????

About end of last year (minus Washington), beginning of this year..

 

[joseephuss]

It is easy to mouth off after a win. You can say pretty much say anything and it will sound reasonable to believe. That doesn't mean it is the truth. Dallas lost because they didn't play good football in multiple facets of the game. That is how most losses occur no matter the weather conditions.

This is just dumb chest thumping.

 

[Redball Express]

OUCH

Whatever.

So it was tough to play in that condition..period.

Our team is not equipped to handle a game like that.

Next week is a different story.

We need to lick our wounds..fix what is broken and move on.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

If the Cowboys had won, would Brandon be telling this little made up story?

 

[DFWJC]

Im not entirely sure. There is no way a coddled dome team can prepare for what went down last night.

But they did just fine in New York. No, it wasn't as bad, but it was still very cold.

I do think that with the way the Bears were clicking, New Orleans may have lost last night in Chicago too though. So you may have a slight point.

I don't think, as some here are trying to say, that this team is a bunch of wusses. I just don't think a bunch of walk-ons that can't make any other NFL roster is all that talented on the defensive side of the ball. They are way out-manned every game on the that side of the ball.

Last night was the 4th coldest game in Bears history.

This.

He didn't know Jack in advance. Once they figured out they could do whatever they wanted against this Defense ( during the game ), this story was created.
