CFZ The Loss is Good for Us

[windward]

People are kinda bummed out right now because the realization is setting in that this team is clearly not as good as the 49ers and Eagles.

That Sunday night game in a couple of weeks is going to be very telling, especially considering that the 49ers almost never lose at home.

When are we going to learn that nothing is determined in Week 3?

This sounds like the philosophy of the guy who hit himself in the head with a hammer because it felt so good when he stopped.

All I can say is I hope the team learned something that many of us already knew we still can't stop the run and if we're not playing with a lead where we can unleash our pass rush our defense becomes exposed.

And our offense just flat out stalls at the end of drives and can't get the ball in the end zone.

Excessive penalties no run stopping and kicking field goals will not get you to a super bowl no matter how good Micah Parsons is

Great post.

As we got closer to this weekend, I felt less confident about a sure win. For one, the cardinals aren't a bad team. They are top 40 percent of teams, at least, in my book. And that defense is pretty good.

That said, if we are who we said we are, we should have been able.to beat them.

Diggs out takes away our chances of being undefeated this year.

That's all it does. We had about 1.5 percent chance to go undefeated this year. Not very likely, but not completely impossible. If all three chips fell in the right place, the Cowboys could have been undefeated.

Diggs got hurt, that brings your chances to .25. Not because Diggs is the best ever. You just need to cover your backside 90 percent of the time, if you're ever going to go undefeated.

Let's be real tho. Diggs may not be the best ever. But he does fall in the category of great.

But even the best teams lose games.

The smartest people lose at whatever it is they do the best.

They learn from it. They makes sure whatever beat them doesn't beat them again, ateast not by the same manner and means the element that beat you last time . . . Not by the same manner and means....

We're a good team.

Are we the best? The best teams play as a team together. They get on the same page as a team and forget about the individual accolades. They win as a team. Don't let the individual losses hirt you. Use them as stepping stones not to get beat.

After those first two tough wins, we came in versus Arizona a little cocktail even with our 3/5thths of our offensive line out we should have beaten them.

Wr didn't.

Just don't let that happen again and that's one less way they can beat us.

You can't control everything. But you can come in and control the tempo, the narrative and the pace of the game. That is, if you're playing with the right energy. And if you're not, then you'll be susceptible to defeat.

Just like all of us our human. Teams are made of humans I usually find myself on the humans and do my best to relate with the so called least among us. Do I find myself in that group? Probably not as much as I think about what I can do to at least not have the least.

We can't dictate what the opposition was. But you can get a feel of what it takes to beat the highest opposition possible, if you face the highest opposition.

The most worthy opponents treat every victory same as defeat.

A loss only makes you better, if you allow it.

Sometimes a loss is a win, and a win is loss. Let this be that, and it's all good.

17 games...

Get outta here homer. Lol

duh……its all good, this loss was a win!!

only thing worse than the loss itself is having to listen to this kind of homer drivel the next day.

 

[links18]

Oh no, the inevitable a loss is really a win thread. Pathetic.

 

[Aven8]

I hate losing. But I hate playing bad even more. Penalties were awful. LB and Safety play pathetic.

Having said all that, Buffalo lost to the Jets. KC lost at home. It’s a week to week league

 

[Mannix]

Sounds like something a 2017 Browns fan would say to cope with how horrible their team was doing. How saddening.

No loss is good. None. We’re a bad team. Just accept it now so it hurts less later.

Thank you...terrible point made by OP, although I realize what he's trying to convey.

 

[Captain-Crash]

we got beat by a rocket scientist.
bus driver vs rocket scientist = rocket scientist wins. shrugs

Let's see where you put a PLAT on it and I'll believe you. No one I saw predicted a "possible" Cardinals win.

 

[JW82]

We'll see. Win the next 3.

Then leave and come back when they're good.

 

[DillusionalFans]

TYPICAL COWBOYS — they beat 2 bad teams and listen to the media saying they are the best team in football. THEN after Diggs’ injury, Parsons crows “We got your back” then the defense gives up 7.5 yds/play to a bad team. AND as last year, Dak soils his pants in crunch time with a bad pick in the red zone. What an embarrassment!!!

 

[MyFairLady]

When we went for a TD instead of points, the first time, I knew we were done.

I agree that seemed a bit crazy and desperate.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Then leave and come back when they're good.

Unfortunately, I can’t. I’ve made a pact with the train wreck and now I have to stick with it. Doesn’t mean I can’t be upset and complain about it.

 

[AtlCPA]

I just checked and verified, we Kept the ball for longer, time of pos. Dallas, we had more rushing yards Dallas, We had more passing yards, Dallas

We also had more penalties by almost 2 to 1 , Dallas, We squandered more opportunities in the rezone Dallas. My point is this was the worst I''ve seen the team play

and I see nothing that running lots of hills, up downs till you puke and Coaches pulling their heads from assorted orifices won't fix !!!!!

Let's Go Cowboys !!!!!

Arizona had more rushing yards. They had 222 yards. Their OL dominated the game. Teams who give up 200+ rushing yards win less than 13% of the time. We were also called for 13 penalties. You can’t win playing like this!

 

[MRV52]

The thing that makes me angry and worried is that our run Defense is not any better than last year. The first two games it was masked because we jumped up on both teams and they abandoned the run. Is Mazi Taco II?

Dobbs is not a good QB. He looked good, because we gave him huge running lanes, took bad angles, and gave him all day to throw!

naw he's an actual rocket scientist. dak is a leader by degree.

Scientist wins.

We were giving up huge runs when Hankins was in as well!

 

[infamousstyles]

This feels like Jason Garrett clapping after Dak throws a pick. Lol

If that were true, you’d have a bunch of scientists playing QB in the NFL.
