Mental toughness and maturity is what is stopping this team from reaching the promised land

[RonnieT24]

Dak Prescott Mike McCarthy Dan Quinn Micah Parsons are all extremely good at their jobs

Roger Staubach Tom Landry Ernie Stautner and Bob Lilly were all extremely good at their jobs too the difference was they could inspire the rest of the team to play so far above their heads and sacrifice their bodies that they were ultimately more successful in their careers because of not only what they could do but what they could inspire others to do through their work ethic and sacrifice.
None of them cared about being the highest paid or being called the greatest they serve their country first then brought that attitude of sacrifice and leadership to their team there was an aura around these men that made others do what they didn't feel was even possible.

They didn't talk to talk they didn't worry about what the media said about them come game day they just put on the cape and did things that others viewed as impossible inspiring the rest of the team to do things they didn't think they were capable of.

Yeah I don't know how you fix this generation's mentality to be honest. These guys make SO much money and achieve SO much celebrity and notoriety you wonder if any of them can truly commit to the pursuit of greatness. A fed lion doesn't hunt. Our guys are all fed. Like I said at the outset, the silver lining to this loss is that it empties their bellies for a minute. Hopefully they bring some hunger to the game over the next few weeks. They're gonna need it.

Games like this last one with the Bills.. the AZ game, the 49er game all illustrate that this team just isn't on a championship level mentally. And that saddens me because I don't know what you can do about something like that. This team needs more dawgs to be sure. It's been that way for at least 20 years. A lot of comes back to Garrett and his "right kinda guy" mantra for so many years. Yes it's nice to have choir boys on you team but truth be told you need some nasty sum*****es too and we simply do not have enough of the latter. For all the flak Jerry gets for his meddling, he will at least go get a guy with some edge to him no matter the optics look like. Wonder if Rolando McClain is in shape. This team needs some guys who are willing to fight each other on the sidelines to bring the team out the doldrums. Or at least fight somebody on the other team. I love our team but this mental softness will be their undoing long before any physical softness does.. The one silver lining to this loss is that it might allow them to refocus and recenter for the next 4-5 weeks. Lord knows this teams performs much better when doubted than when everybody is pumping them up. So the Buffalo butt kicking might have done them a favor.

well said. The culture is fat and happy. Too comfy. 0 grit. We been paper champs for 27 years off and on

Yeah, that's not it.

Ignore (like every year) what they do against the Giants Jets, and Commanders. Against the really good teams, they are who we knew they were.

Same problem, same QB, different year.
