Will being Bullied help the Cowboys going forward?

You would hope that the Cowboys being Bullied by the likes of 49ers and pretty much every other team they lost to last season would help change the mentality of the team.
Except for the loss to the Bucs, each loss was due to them getting manhandled on both sides of the ball.
Maybe playing in a weak division helps contribute to this team not being able to handle better teams.
One constant in the losses is the team was outplayed and out-muscled.
Even though they made most of the losses close, they were never really a threat to win and they were only close due to the team picking up garbage yards and points after getting so far behind.
No, they will lie down and take it...

Jerry is still making money. The cowboys are still relevant. The new kid on the block with this team is, it has become fun to put America's team on the trailer.

Real cowboys are hard to find these days.

The last time the Cowboys got knocked out of the playoffs they got bullied by the Rams. We’re not physical in the trenches and it always catches up with us. Opponents are able to impose their will on us. Too many times I’ve seen us get manhandled upfront. It’s one of the issues that never seems to change with the team.

better competition in the division may help. Notice how Tampa Bay, Tennessee, Dallas and Green Bay all underachieved in the playoffs this year. They were te teams with the easiest division wins

Nope, Uncle Jerry will be right there comforting the players and telling them how great they are and how close they are to winning the Super Bowl.

Yes thanks for the reminder of the good ole days. These two loved the game and always gave 100 %. They wanted to win.

Getting a couple pipe hitters in the trenches on both sides of the ball is what we need to start being that bully

Larry Allen/Charles Haley types are the kinds of players that infect the rest of their linemen to know that getting pushed around isn’t acceptable.
Plus a Michael Irvin to stab a fool for jumping the line at the barber chair...

I'm glad others can see this too. The one thing most people don't realize is this started back in 2019. Same pattern of getting punched in the mouth early, not scoring much, or coming back late only to fail. The only time the Cowboys won a game like this was against Atlanta in 2020.

For this to go on for 3 straight seasons concerns me the most. There's a serious issue with this team's desire to win.
