I remember when the sun got in Patrick Craytons eyes and he dropped an easy TD. No doubt in my mind we win that game otherwise. Then the Giants don't sniff the superbowl. One of the hardest loses of life.
That was Texas Stadium, not AT&T, right?

Two years ago in the playoffs against the 49ers here in Arlington, we had a drive end when our receiver was blinded at midfield because he was looking directly at the sun. We ended up losing because we ran out of time but that drive might have been the difference in the game. So, is Jerry gonna close the curtains Sunday afternoon since the sun will be a factor in the first half? And don't quote the idiot excuse it affects both teams.

Remember how Jerry insisted on building the nation's only sports arena that faces east west lol?

If Jerry really wants to win, the curtains will be closed. Let's hope we don't lose the game on a play where our players can't locate the ball due to the sun.

Either way, this is our best chance to reach the conf championship in almost 30 years so let's go Pokes!!

Who knows, jerry is a little insane, and he seems to like those windows, and the sun coming in.
Maybe he saves 30 bucks on heating, by not using curtains, and you know jerry and $.
The reason the windows are there in 1st place is to save $ so it fits.

Yes. And the sun had nothing to do with it.
Apologies, not sure why I remembered it that way. Crayton really screwed us that game. Still one of the toughest losses I've endured.


It was the third time the rivals would meet that season. The Cowboys won the two previous contests by at least ten points. Dallas played better than they had in a while. They outgained the Giants 336 to 230 and converted ten of 15 third downs. However, and this part will certainly ring a bell, 11 Dallas penalties cost the team 84 yards.
Wide receiver Patrick Crayton ruined chances on multiple occasions. He dropped what could have been an 83-yard touchdown on a 3rd and 14. He quit on a route at the end of the game that could have allowed him to score a last-second, game-winning touchdown. With four final possessions to score a touchdown, three resulted in a punt and one in an interception.

So what was your point? You spoke directly about this game as did I. Just another stupid bash Jerry thread, that's your point, right?
My point is crystal clear. If Jerry cares about winning and making a deep playoff run, he can start by not handicapping our team with blinding sun. Jerry deserves criticism for that and this is an opinions forum. Or is criticizing the man responsible for our almost 30 year deep playoff run draught, not open to criticism on an opinions forum? Pls enlighten me.

Which of these facts are you disputing?
  • We ended a drive that would have continued at midfield but our WR was blinded by the sun
  • Jerry has insisted on leaving curtains open for all afternoon games when it is clear there is blinding sun
  • Jerry and other fans insist he really wants to win yet he is content that we could lose a playoff game due to the sun when there is an easy fix
Please cite which fact you are disputing and get back with me.

You made the more ridiculous claim. Why don't you provide a source.
Sure, which of these facts are you disputing?
  • We ended a drive that would have continued at midfield but our WR was blinded by the sun
  • Jerry has insisted on leaving curtains open for all afternoon games when it is clear there is blinding sun
  • Jerry and other fans insist he really wants to win yet he is content that we could lose a playoff game due to the sun when there is an easy fix

Like I said another Jerry Hater thread. Why would leaving the curtains open indicate that he doesn't want to win....what a stupid assumption

Sunday is supposed to be cloudy, so it may not matter.
Also sunset is around 5:40. Get through the first half if the sun does come out. It may not affect the game much.

Saw the title of the thread and was thinking about a different set of curtains for some reason.
