Cowboys at Lions | Week 8 Game Day Chatter Thread | 10/27/2013

[Carl]

So I take it he went nuts after the Cowboys choked the game away?

If so, then good. I'm tired of this pussy ass team just acting all sad and shit after an epic choke job and talking about how heart breaking it is and how they have to work better.

If does was furious, as he should have been, then I applaud him because it's about damn time that someone actually acted like they were tired of being a part of these inexplicable losses.

It's very difficult to tell what is going on on an NFL sideline. But given the track record, I will take Witten over Bryant. It looked like Dez was being a distraction and Witten took issue with it. As time moves on, Dez will be fine and the passion is ok.

 

[data]

I don't think I have an answer to that because it's not realistic.

At some point sooner than 50 years, we will bottom out, or an obvious better name will be available. It happened just last year with Reid. It may happen again this year.

I just hope you never get in an abusive relationship. My girlfriend beats me, but I'm not leaving until I find a better girlfriend.

 

[Cotton]

BTW....I don't care what anyone says, I was happy to see Dez pissed off and chirping on the sidelines.

I'll take that any time over watching Romo and Garrett's passive asses watching solemnly as the offense sleepwalks through another week of football.

I'm glad at least one guy was pissed off about the lackluster effort of the team.

Also, I think that's the only time I've seen Witten fired up on the sideline. Sad part is he wasn't fired up about the team's poor effort. It looked like the only reason he got fired up was because his BFF was taking heat.

I hope he continues doing it.

 

[Smitty]

I don't have a problem with running a simply running play like most teams do in that same situation 9 times out of 10.

The problem is that the Cowboys found a way to fuck it up as they often do.

Then the defense found a way to blow it as well.

It's Tony Romo-era Cowboys football to a tee.

I hate Garrett's guts and can't wait to see him gone, but I can't knock him at all for that final series. The Cowboys choked like they always do and that's that.

We're just not a good team. We're not as talented as we think. We're obviously not particularly well coached.

And we are rotten at the top.

It's amazing that the Parcells core is even hanging on this long. Take Romo, Witten, and Ware out and you've got a team that is in the tank.

 

[VA Cowboy]

Right.

So just because there isn't anyone better in Schmitty's mind, does that mean you're just going to settle for this shit for 100 years straight?

That's just dumb.

Just shows what happens when someone gets so entrenched in a position. Too proud to admit his pro-Garrett stance was a bust. Now he's only left with ' but who will we replace him with' type excuses. Bottomline is Garrett was an easy hire for Jerry because he could control him and have backing from many fans who remembered Garrett's Thanksgiving win as a player and bought into the "young Landry' BS.

Jason is was just another inexperience coach who Jerry could dominant despite the talk of Garrett having final say over any player on the roster, etc. Jerry wanted another puppet and got it while having many fans defend the HC due to nostalgia.

 

[Texas Ace]

I'm in agreement. Dude, it don't matter. We would've fumbled the snap on a QB kneel or allowed a kickoff-return TD or blocked FG returned for a TD.

I mean, my fucking god, I have to research these obscure rules to see how it is we lost.

I'm waiting for the day we lose a game on a dropkick.

It is uncanny how this team has lost games since 2005......just unbelievable. It's a fucking nightmare that never ends.

In the same exact span, I can't even remember how many different negative records this team has set.

Today we became only the 2nd team in 56 tries to lose a game with a +4 turnover ratio.....2-54.

Even if you did a psychological evaluation on 53 guys and purposely put together a team of weak minded individuals who suck under pressure, I bet you still wouldn't be able to put a team together that has a manu choke jobs and epic losses under their belt as these Cowboys have for the last 8 years.

 

[Smitty]

I just hope you never get in an abusive relationship. My girlfriend beats me, but I'm not leaving until I find a better girlfriend.

Ehm.... well, in RL I can have no girlfriend if I choose (I'm setting myself up for this one, I know).

In the NFL, you have to have a head coach. It would be like potentially having an even more abusive girlfriend. I'd rather not choose a new one until I know she's a good person.

 

[data]

I'm curious to find out the other team that lost with a +4 ratio.

That'd be awesome if it were the Lions.

That's exactly what I said just a few pages ago.

All these guys do and have done after these inexplicable losses is hang their head, sound all somber in their interviews as they talk about how heart breaking the loss was and how they have to learn and get better.

Fuck that shit.

As fans, we've been furious after these losses and only get more and more upset when the next one comes along. It's about damn time that someone on that team acted angrily like they were truly pissed off at losing a game they had no business doing.

I'm behind Dez 100%.

 

[Carp]

Not happy with Dez at all with his actions at the end. That was not defendable. Asking for the ball more...sure, not what he did at.the end.

 

[NoDak]

That'd be awesome if it were the Lions.

It was the Cardinals against the Falcons just last year.

 

[boozeman]

Trying to get Garrett to quit from being scared? I applaud him.

But knowing this team and how things go, it will be a negative.

 

[Texas Ace]

Oh well, on a lighter note, the Playstation 4 is out in just under 3 weeks and NBA basketball starts in a few days.

 

[Smitty]

Not happy with Dez at all with his actions at the end. That was not defendable. Asking for the ball more...sure, not what he did at.the end.

Yeah, you can't do that. I understand that people want to see emotion, fine, yes, but you can't lose your cool when the game is still on the line. It's his obligation to get back out there and try to make a play. He can't do that if he's fuming because he thinks we already lost and he's blaming everyone else and he's blowing up in anger.

After the game, fine. Not during.

 

[Smitty]

What are you referring to?

 

[boozeman]

I am still in amazement we blew the game.

This is a big deal.

Your answers are as good as saying "...until Garrett dies". First, how many "better" coaches, per your definition, exist? Then, any of these Schmitty-defined "better" coaches won't come to Dallas with Jerruh, anyway.

 

[boozeman]

What are you referring to?

Suddenly, now Dez Bryant will be an issue.

Our incompetent coaching, led by Garrett, Wilson and Callahan will be absolved, and the guy will be demonized.

 

[Texas Ace]

I am still in amazement we blew the game.

This is a big deal.

Are you really?

Why?

I walked outside because at 1:02 I knew we'd blow it. I know you remember each one of our epic losses over the years, so I don't need to remind you......so having seen all of that, did you really not think it was possible for us to lose?

For the first time all year, I would have been mad after a loss after I saw that. That is exactly why I left and came back so that I wouldn't have to see it nor be all that upset about it if it happened.

If there is ONE thing these Cowboys have taught us.....ONE thing.....it is that if there is a way to a lose a game, they will find it.

 

[data]

In the 4th quarter, I'd rather be down 10 points than up.
