Afan since 1963 but for some reason, I’m just not that upset. Don’t really know why.
it's because it's one game in a 17 game season in which we were not going to go 17 and 0.... you shouldn't be that upset we're missing 4 Pbers , 3 on the OL is killer way to upset the flow of an OFFENSE on the road and got our butts kicked mostly on the defensive side which was more the surprise, but the penalties are the truest reason we couldn't win ugly. Would have made the comeback IMHO if the penalty's didn't straight implode both sides of the ball...didn't one bring back a KT PR?? i man no matter how hard we came close to getting back on yop bam anther....

but again, nothing to be mad at i mean it is what it is one game one loss...

Apathy. That is where I'm at. As I got older, I don't let sports with players who don't even know I exist, dictate my emotions. I watch for entertainment ans that's it.The wins don't get me that high and the losses don't get me that down.

More and more, I watch the NFL as a whole and enjoy all the talented players out there. And less only focus on Dallas. There's some beautiful ball being played all around the league.

I'm not upset whatsoever. Why? It's just entertainment, nothing more. They could have gotten a beat down like Denver and I would feel the same way. "Meh, they lost"

I enjoyed the NFL more back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's when it wasn't all about the money. 17 game seasons, Thursday games, Sunday night games - it's all about cash flow now.

I'm not concerned about the loss as much as I am concerned that the team did not look prepared and we were certainly outcoached. Don Shula was not on the other sideline.

After seeing the way they started out the first two games, it's not too difficult to still have high expectations. A lot went wrong leading up to the game in AZ, so hopefully they learned how to adapt to that level of chaos and overcome similar circumstances in the future.

Cause it's a game...I used to get upset at my games because they put food on my table, but this is a game for entertainment. I don't like to lose, but at the end of the day, it's entertainment. I've grown up over the last 50 years. I haven't broken a TV or set a friend on fire since 94.

You’ve been fan a long time and were probably prepared for it. I wasn’t that upset either because I saw it coming. The Cowboys lay at least one or two eggs every season and they always happen against average to bad teams that have a bad QB situation.

I used to let these kind of losses upset me when I was in a bad spot in life, and dealing with mad depression. The Cowboys were supposed to be my escape. Luckily, now I'm in a much better spot, and got married and have kids now. My apathy has risen, but I also don't get too up, or too down over games anymore. Go Cow-boes.

I'm with you, it's game 3 we are 2 and 1 and most of our fans are about to jump off the bridge
to be fair, those same fans were ready right before the snap of first Giants FG attempt, after we blocked it, they went away.

I take sports team losses much better than I did as a young adult. Eventually you come to the realization there are much more important things to focus your energy on. Sports is entertainment and at the end of the day win or lose it doesn't change anything in your personal life.

I still enjoy watching the game, but not worth harping on a loss.

Same way man. I'm 25 years old and have seen this team win, what, 4 playoff games?

I was over it and watching Bob's Burgers within 30 minutes of the game's end. It's hard to be upset about failure when you're so used to it.
