Why didn't the Cowboys fight back like the 49ers did?

The Cowboys players had already checked out mentally to the off season personal branding and social media opportunities. They wanted no part of this playoff business.

The 49ers players got caught underestimating the Lions, but since they actually want to play and win in the playoffs they were able to come back.

Truth. The rancid Jones culture is the reason for 28+ years of futility.

Both the Cowboys and 49ers were playing at home. Both teams were down by multiple scores.

One roared back behind timely defensive stops and a few momentum changing plays. The other went out with a whimper.

What is the source of the contrast? Is it talent? Is it intestinal fortitude?

I'll say this, Shanahan looked like you could fry an egg on his forehead at the end of the 1st half. He was visibly perturbed. I wish I could hear his halftime speech because his players, his leaders like Deebo, came out with a chip on their shoulder in the 3rd quarter. Top, down they have something that is a completely foreign concept in Dallas - football character.

Cowboys need to spend all offseason dissecting what is preventing them from fighting back when they are put in a corner like the 49ers did last night.

When the team sees the quarterback is part of the problem, it doesn't exactly inspire a comeback from others.

The Niners believed in their QB/Captain and played accordingly

Our guys clearly did not

That's why they thought they could still win and we folded. So sick of hearing about daks over hyped "leadership" cred. What a joke. There's maybe 5 guys in that locker room that truly trust him. Everyone else knew it was over the minute he threw that pick 6.

Dak again?......How can a player trust him, if we can't trust the very said player? More than Dak to look at regarding the mental make-up and skill set of this team. Too convenient to pin all just on Dak.....that's the masked problem.

Green Bay didn’t have Dan Campbell going for it on 4th down up by two scores.

Because, our defense could not make a stop. It would have needed to be a shootout. Green Bay set the tone scoring on the first drive of the game. Dak did not handle the pressure of being behind well. Our defense makes it too hard on the offense to many times.
