Why that was good loss

This mindset baffles me.

I guess fans can hope for better draft position. But if the team takes a loser mentality, then all hope truly is lost.

That attitude spreads like a cancer. Future winning will never occur when teams "tank".

There's a reason teams like the Cardinals were perinnial door mats. There was a losing culture that came from years of their management wanting higher picks or wanting to save money

The team already has a loser mentality. Since week two they've had a loser mentality.

Im not trying to be bitter after a loss and have always been behind lawrence but why does it matter? Do you gain something from being "always on the Lawrence train"? If so, what is it?

thats a curious slant
its like he didn't deserve his rookie year?
this is his soph year and his puttin it together
ya his my man

Maybe not quit but he adds absolutely nothing strategically to help the team. I know you will probably point to the QB but we just lost to the ultimate journeyman QB. Other teams find ways to win with backups.

bizarre world

that in its self is a truism yet truism can be shown to not be true in all cases.

I disagree at least for these last few games. They should get guys like Gregory and Green as many reps as possible. It will get them more game experience and help Dallas better evaluate their talent before they hit a very important off season.

Watch the replay - you'll see plenty of individual players quit on plays constantly. Dez, Wilcox at the forefront. Carr does it too. So do Beasley and McFadden.

Anyone who thinks this team shows notable "fight" simply lives in a cocoon.

....you forgot JWitten.

Yesterday proved to me we do not need McClain back next year.
Hardy is marginal on the come back.
Free - please replace him.
I'm still wondering why on looks for Gavin Escobar.

Yep. They really battled. I think Garrett was celebrating the effort at the half--said as much to the sideline reporter.

Meanwhile Todd Bowles in his first year has as many winning seasons as Garrett.

and Bowles is doing that with the epitome of a journeyman / backup QB. We can't win with a backup QB except for the other team making really bonehead plays like what Desean Jackson did to help us. Hopefully Jerry is sober enough to see this.

if it between deadskins and beagles...i am pulling for deadskins because I can't take another hyped off-season of how Chip Kelly is Iron Man.

Pulling for the Skins is never acceptable, no matter what petty reason may be used to justify such blasphemy. And furthermore, anything that makes it possible for Chip Klly to stay in Philly longer is a plus. We want Chip in Philly. Just like we want Jay Gruden in Washington, but we dont want the Skins to win the division, ever!

this year is over, I hope what ever happens the next two games it prepares us somehow for next year, whether by enhanced draft position or evaluating the backup players we have.

One of the first Cowboy losses that didn't hurt at all. There is no reason to win any of these games. I'm not actively rooting for a loss but it doesn't phase me right now when it does. Seeing we are playing our 4th different QB. It's inevitable.

I'm now in "don't give a crap" mode so you can do or say whatever you want without my further input. Have a good off-season.

It was good. Better draft pick and dallas didn't help the stealers. Stealers will still get in though. They will win 1 or 2 SB's in the next 4 years it makes me sick.
