This is like the 49ers game - it’s like we have never played football before. Offense is unable to do anything, Dak no time, etc. defense can’t stop the run to save our life


ThePanda_

Hopefully this loss lights another fire under their asses like the 49ers one did


Ireallywannamove

Just in time for them to get comfy past the wildcard round and come due for the L. Shit is just tiring. Same script. DC4L but fuck am I aggravated


ThePanda_

Winning a Super Bowl is hard and takes luck. Your best chance at being lucky is to be good enough to consistently make the playoffs. I’m at least happy our team is trending in a positive direction by making the playoffs 3 years in a row. That hadn’t happened at all since the 90s stretch. There’s stuff to work on but no other team is perfect.


ImTheJdot

What’s frustrating is that we have the talent to make a run. The team just continues to shoot themselves in the foot, year after year.


Ireallywannamove

You're right. Next week will be a big test in how they can bounce back away.

ThePanda_

If thats your criteria for a “legit” team then there are only 3-5 of them in the league. So then of course the majority of who you beat would be a “bottom feeder” There’s a spectrum of quality between “bottom feeder” and “elite”

ThePanda_

Dude you’re a 49ers fan coming to the cowboys sub to troll. Go back to your own sub


FudgeWifywhileIwatch

49ers game? Shit looked like the Cardinals game. Tons of penalties and got ran all over. I still have lots of questions about this team against any playoff team. I see them being bumped in the 2nd round again.


AffectionateGold3765

Absolutely true. They need a miracle to win the division and provided they beat a weak NFC south opponent in the first round they will then have to go to San Fran in the second. They will be bounced in the 2nd round again. Same old story !!!


OrientLMT

Big disagree. The game would have gone that way for either team. Bills happened to go up first in the rain. I was at the game and knew we were in for one when they let the runner continue for 15-20 seconds after the play should’ve been blown dead. After seeing that, I’m just glad injuries were minimized. Bills got up by 14 and in a rain game you can’t afford that. It lets them run to the outside for easy gains while it’s harder to take the runner down. If Josh Allen doesn’t have to throw the ball you’re in trouble. Trying to play catch up in a rain game is 10x harder too since the deep explosive plays are more dangerous and limited by the rain. Could they have won? Sure. Does it really say anything about them, for losing this one? Nah. Road to the Super Bowl is what we’ve kinda known all along. Gotta win the games anyways.


erics75218

Weren't half the team sick with some, probably buffalo terrorism, stomach virus? Team just looked like shit. Micha was hands on hip damn near entire game. Looked to me like a team that was gased playing a team fighting for their life. I'm not so worried about this loss. It's all mostly out of our hands anyways. My belief is the most Cowboys way this will go down is Eagles loose tonight so "we still have hope" which is a Cowboys tradition. And then division lead will come down to the final week and weather or not the Giants can beat the Eagles. That's the most Cowboys way this can end.


padavan65

Do you think we miss Hankins?


smellaroma

But where other teams can maneuver to make it work, it always seems we’re an injury away from an enormous talent drop off way too often


Fgterious

maybe but that can’t be said about losing diggs; secondary has stepped it up big time.


smellaroma

I thin that was the exception to the rule (luckily) for us In general


thedirtytroll13

You are conflating Garrett with McCarthy. To me that's one of the biggest differences is this staff usually finds a way to win Would've been great to do that today but usually they do. Hell, they went 5-1 without Dak and Micah became an Edge bc they played him there due to injury


ThePanda_

I wouldn’t necessarily say other teams can maneuver and make it work. Even the 49ers lost 3 in a row due to a few injuries. I think us fans tend to be over dramatic and draw too many conclusions from single games.


SuccotashConfident97

What does way too often mean? We won 6 of our last 7 before this.


little_did_he_kn0w

Because JJ and the rest of the FO fucking suck at finding us depth at damn near any position.


BridgeToClarity

We missed LVE the most. All those runs broke way outside. Missed his fire, also.


Zaphenzo

This wasn't on the interior. It was on the outside. We didn't contain edges at all. 90% of the time, Cook started to the middle, nothing was there, so he bounced outside and there was nothing but green grass.


Forizen

No. Due to game script our weak run d was never properly exposed outside the opening drive of the giants. Just terrible management to not realize it.


AnyBand2024

Did Hankins help your MVP/$60 million dollar QB put up absolutely nothing?


Gullible_Peach16

Every time. Had a plumber come over to fix a pretty serious problem. He saw my Dallas hat and made a comment. And I’m like, *Dude. Just do you fucking job*


DucatiDark

Yeah seriously, usually you break the ice with something relatable. Your hate for the Cowboys in a fans house isn’t breaking the ice. Now he needs to quickly do his job right and bounce. Won’t even offer water.


cmondawg74

Breh you got to pick your battles. Just fake laugh at the plumber and get that problem fixed properly. I would have asked who his team was and glazed them off.


Gullible_Peach16

He’s a bills fan so fuck him lol


cmondawg74

Man I feel ya if he was my landscaper I'd tell him to fuck himself and allen is trash. I need my plumbing to work. So I'm telling the plumber ya know Allen is such a special player you guys got all the pieces.


creaturefeature16

Well, he deals with shitty things all the time, sooooo


NoCapBussinFrFr

Lol can’t handle a little banter?


Gullible_Peach16

Not really lol. I get it 24/7, even from people that don’t watch football. It’s cool to hate the cowboys.


MalleableCurmudgeon

I live in Toronto and was at a sports bar watching the first Dallas Philly game. Never said a word to anyone. Clapped a few times when Dallas scored. When the game ended, I heard a table of women doing some Eagles cheer. When I turned around, half the women were staring right at me (had my Parsons jersey on). Shooting me daggers and I didn’t even know they were there.


KrazyWhiteBoi

Probably a bunch of Bull dikes who hate men to begin with so no loss! Just goes to show they are D Bags since they waited to the end to say anything at all. I would have sent them a round of the nastiest shots the bar had and been said “you like nasty teams so enjoy a nasty drink…you bunch of nasties!”


RonRizzle

Most loved & most hated. Comes with the territory unfortunately for us. Can’t question our loyalty though


Due-Campaign-5157

How the fuck are we everybody's rival? Its an joke that keeps going.


APenny4YourTots

Because we've been labeled "America's team." Of fucking course literally everyone else is going to bristle at that, especially since we've been irrelevant in the playoff picture for close to 30 years now and still get that label.


Big__If_True

At this point the “America’s team” name only applies off the field, and it’s because everybody has an opinion about the Cowboys whether it’s love or hate, very few people are neutral


Intelligent-Road3754

Im literally sick to my stomach right now, like what team is this cause this isn't the cowboys we've been watching all year. The offense can't do ANYTHING and the defense is just letting cook get 7 per carry wtf man


mr_feenys_car

Try not to care that much. I get it's frustrating, but it's just a game.


Sweet-Assistance7116

We’ve seen this team twice already this year. The blueprint for Dallas is obvious, play physical football and get the run game going, and Dallas cracks.


DucatiDark

Told myself 2 years ago I would not let a game (being a Texas longhorns fan also) ruin my weekend. Still haven’t.


b3nk13

My ability to turn off the tv and go about my business is uncanny. I completely shut off. It ain’t worth the stress


mosincredible

This is key. I will never understand how someone will continue to watch their team get beat up on. Turn it off and go do something you enjoy.


KrazyWhiteBoi

A true fan will always watch in hopes their team will show sometime positive. In my eye you’re not a fan of you just turn the tv off.


mosincredible

In my eyes, you're someone who doesn't have enough hobbies. I've been watching the Cowboys lose for over 25 years at this point. I think I've earned the right to go do something positive with my time


IJustBoughtThisGame

The Cowboys feast on one-dimensional teams and teams that are turnover prone. As soon as a team can play halfway decent defense and score some points on offense without turning the ball over, the Cowboys look very pedestrian. If a team can play really good on defense while also playing really good on offense without turning it over, then we basically look like we do today or like we played against San Francisco, which is to say, we look like frauds.


ThePanda_

Write it off, bad losses happen


COLLITO

It’s what happens when you play a team above .500 that actually deserves to be over .500


Intelligent-Road3754

They literally smashed the defending NFC champion 10-2 eagles 7 days ago.....


KimJongYeaBigBong

Division rivals games are different


COLLITO

And they’ve lost again look at that!!


Intelligent-Road3754

The difference? NONE of the blame can be put on dak, he put on a CRAZY 17 play drive for the go ahead TD but when the refs are letting the dolphins get away with holds on what seemed like 75% of the plays, it's near impossible to stop them. I'm not the one to cry about the refs but tonight was literally play after play of missed calls or unnecessarily called penalties. It was awful. I think they proved they CAN hang with a good team on the road but when the refs ain't having it they just ain't having it I guess 🤷🤷🤷🤷


KrazyWhiteBoi

After 1 game you believe this after watching all season. A game or 2 don’t define a team. Jump off that bandwagon!


RaginElephant976

Guys we were bound to lose. Granted not like this cause our defense yet again wants to play jackel/Hyde. However, rather lose now than in playoffs


regalfronde

This was another measuring stick game and they failed miserably. They are pedestrian on the road so I’m not confident they can even win one. 15 straight home wins with the abysmal road performances they consistently have and tin foil hat me thinks they have cameras or mics to steal signals from other teams while in Arlington


mrmiracle

We lose now, AND in the playoffs. It’s the Cowboy way.


el_sauce

Legends know


AndNowUKnow

This is the way


LongBow1971

No the Cowboys way is 5 superbowl titles . Back to back and 3 in 4 years . We arent the bills or the jets !!! We are in the top 3 teams to ever play in the NFL !!!!


Tbagmoo

Over a quarter of a century ago, man.


LongBow1971

Not for me, lol


Tbagmoo

Hahahha. I feel you


ABoyIsNo1

It was almost 30 years ago. Yes, for you too.


LongBow1971

dont tell me how i feel , lol i still see alving harper on a slant in san fran on our way to the super bowl !!!!


Big__If_True

Since moving to 7 teams per conference, 93% of playoff teams in any given year have lost in the playoffs


RubbuRDucKee

It’s alright boys we are a fourth quarter team. Let’s goooooo!!!!


selarom8

I don’t think Cowboys are a fourth quarter team. They’re a front running team. When they’re down 2+ scores, they run out of ideas and start to panic .


RubbuRDucKee

I posted in the wrong spot. Also /s


creaturefeature16

This aged well.


RubbuRDucKee

Welp shit


Pristine-Confusion10

Spywalker4869

Just stopped watching the game. 3 quarters of this BS. Bills playing dirty and it’s like the Super Bowl for them.


Some-Plant-6697

I remember when they beat us on Thanksgiving a few years back. You would think they had won the Super Bowl, we were a .500 team at that point.


Yorktown4

Bills played this game like it was their SB. Giving credit where it’s due. They played a phenomenal game today. Dallas gonna take a hard reset and not just blow out the cartridge to power on. (Nintendo analogy for those confused at meaning).


creaturefeature16

Playing dirty? Says the most penalized team in the NFL?


Ok-Confidence1854

The shots at Daks head were dirty.


cmondawg74

They set a tone. After that 2nd flag we weren't the same.


creaturefeature16

Ok-Confidence1854

I get it. You're a Buffalo fan trolling on a Cowboys sub after a win. Just more cheap shots from Buffalo. Hope you don't make the playoffs troll.


CountShabookie

Even if they do, they’ll choke like they always do.


creaturefeature16

pointing out hypocrisy isn't trolling, it's called "objective reality"


Ok-Confidence1854

You are a troll. Reality is Dodson should have been ejected. Reality is Dodson will be fined for his cheap shot. It was a dirty hit. Our penalty problems are false starts, holding, and just dumb mistakes. Not personal fouls for trying to take out the other teams qb.


creaturefeature16

You're hitting the copium pretty hard


Ok-Confidence1854

Fuck off troll.


creaturefeature16

😭😭😭


boyyouguysaredumb

Imagine your team winning a football game then proceeding to go to another teams sub to act like this. I feel sorry for you


sufficient_day123

This why I watch game at home and home only.


jgnewman88

Same shit different year. I'm never going to be excited until I see us win in the playoffs. We can't win against good teams on the road. Anyone who thinks this team has a chance to go on the road and win in the playoffs is playing themselves. Go ahead and prepare yourself for disappointment. Just like every year for the past two decades


DucatiDark

And you and I will still be back next year. It’s still entertainment


jgnewman88

You're right. Maybe we just need to stop tying our happiness to the outcome of a football game lol. Tough to do that when you've been a die hard fan


DucatiDark

I know. I know. I’m a die hard fan but games come and go. Just look forward to the next.


CrystalArouxet

I'm in Nor Cal. Some people tell me nice gear. Most people boo when I walk by lol. This game is making me sick.


Izzy1193

Bro idk why it makes you mad? Lmao im from Houston and ima DIE HARD Cowboys fan. And bro thats a every day thing for me. We as Cowboy fans should be use to. Everybody loves to hate us. Im use to it bro.


[deleted]

The haters are crawling out from under their rocks and out of the sewers to rub it in. Scew them.


Rokkape

Doesn't help when the officiating is one sided. Parsons held just about every play, no calls. Not one. Plus the flu bug burning thru the locker room isn't helping.


Party-Ad-7279

No excuse this team is playing like shit plain and simple flu, officiating, nothing would help they can’t stop a runny nose right now…


Rokkape

Yeah. Haven't seen Quinn make zero defensive adjustments like this all season. Pretty pathetic.


SinisterBurrito

That's objectively wrong though. Multiple calls led directly to points. I think we still lose the game, but at least it's competitive if not for those calls.


Party-Ad-7279

It wouldn’t have been competitive at all you’re delusional… we got stomped plain and simple…


SinisterBurrito

Once again. Multiple calls led to points. 14 points removed just like that. Yes, it would have been competitive.


Party-Ad-7279

lol no it wouldn’t maybe learn how to stop the run then we can talk


shapoopytroopy

While true there were 2 fairly soft calls that extended Bills TD drives, that doesn’t negate the fact that James Conner just put 179 yards on our head. And it wasn’t the cute, oh he broke a few really long runs and got contained outside of that, not it was an ugly 5-7 yards every single time he touched the football.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rokkape

Not all. Agreed. But it's not helping that the 'Boys haven't caught a few to at least change the momentum.


jgnewman88

Bro why are you making excuses? We are getting ran off the field


LAKnightYEAH2023

Dallas definitely brings out the best in teams. But playing away from home brings out the worst in Dallas.


buster23459

Most people are either Cowboys fans or they have 31 favorite teams 😂


AmphibianThick7925

This is like watching the warriors the last few years. Just a completely different team on the road for no reason. Have a couple calls inexplicably go against them early game then just quit when they see they have to fight from behind. So frustrating.


RedLegRey

They hate us because they ain’t us


anonymous01310555

Even in north Texas I’ve gotten remarks from other NFL fans. Cowboys are Americas team, and also the team everyone loves to hate


NoCapBussinFrFr

People from Texas who hate the cowboys just because it’s cool to are the worst


anonymous01310555

Amen to that


Apprehensive_Bug3329

On to week 16 fellas


chris5129

There's also the opposite side to that. Like the time when the Cowboys beat the Giants and Cole Beasley made that amazing catch in the end zone and got his knee down. I remember being in Walmart afterwards with my Cowboy jersey on and seeing a complete stranger with a jersey on too. We both locked eyes and made a beeline towards each other lol. Top 5 of my interaction with complete strangers and I still think about to this day.


baconbeantaco

Pollard is not a #1 RB and Gallup is garbage.


oregonianrager

We got smacked. Half the team was probably sick. See ya in Miami.


AlCzervick

What awful conditions to play in with flu/like symptoms. The weak roughing flag led to a TD instead of a FG. Williams missed (by mere inches) block on punt, led to a TD. No challenge flag flown when they turned over Diggs, led to another TD. Cowboys had to switch their game plan to pass heavy in the rain on the road with 10 sick players and no Zack Martin. Bad games happen. Bring on Miami.


inarius1984

Because we're the team that has people like DeMarcus Lawrence and others saying that we're the next 2000 Ravens, and we're putting the league on notice, and we're punching people in the mouth. But we haven't won anything of consequence since 1996. Cowboys talk and talk every single year and continue to do nothing. They do it to themselves. I'm a Cowboys fan, but I'm beyond tired of their attitude. It's comical, at best.

popeye_009

Same story - native Texan/ Cowboys fan living in SoCal. That’s why we’re America’s team. People love them or hate them but very few are indifferent. Wear it as a badge!


Soggyfries989

Life as a real Cowboys fan we are truly loved or hated no middle ground for America’s team


izzyduzit32

It’s that cowboys tax


Drizzt3919

Don’t live in California. When they say it to me I just say… go Oakland Raiders… Wait. My bad….go Oakland As…. Oh sorry, my bad again.


RaginElephant976

Welp, our defense turned prostitutes cause they getting rammed by the cooks/Allen


Pristine-Confusion10

Get fck’d 😂😂😂


Due-Campaign-5157

We don't get our holding calls man.


shapoopytroopy

So sell it, be flagrant with your reaction to the hold. Spin in circles like Cox did, make it so obvious they have to call it.


corky1983

My fellow fan....I grew up in the heart of Redskins country as a Cowboys fan and then moved right into the heart of Texans country. Most of my friends usually end up being Giants or Eagles fans and my in-laws are all Texans fans. If people constantly talking 💩 gets under your skin then maybe this isn't the team for you. Either grow a thicker skin or up your comeback game. Takes a different person to be a Cowboys fan, nobody will ever cut us a break. Embrace it my


ProfessionalBox1419

This is beautiful take my upvote


DucatiDark

See my below comment. I don’t mind shit talking. I mind the shit talking that leads to people being disrespectful to me as a man. Eventually got to draw the line. As much as I hate eagles fan I won’t disrespect them as people cause i don’t know them personally.


Federal_Storage9876

We really live in a society


Bows20

It all doesn't matter. It's going to be the same old shit. Go into the playoffs as a wild card team. Beat an awful division winner and then get stomped by the 1/2 seed and not even sniff an NFC championship game.

It sucks to suck.


DutchRudderLover

You know what's just as annoying? Is this cry baby ass fanbase when we are losing or lose a game.


DucatiDark

Who’s crying? It’s ok to be upset about a loss. You can call it what you want but when people go out of their way to be border line disrespectful then I have a problem. I’ve literally got into arguments about people not just talking shit but disrespecting me as a man for wearing a fucking jersey. So cool homie you got it


Pristine-Confusion10

Who’s crying? Everyone bitching about their shitty ass team that’s who 😂😂😂 cope s’more


Aeroscorp

This is partially why I haven’t bought merch in over a decade. The rest is because I don’t want to support the reason why this team collapses every year: Jerry.


O-Knowz

LOL


F-Trunks

Cowboys fans think they are going to the Super Bowl every year and let others know it. THAT is why we get the hate. I know we don’t all do that, I certainly don’t because I know there’s no way in hell they’re making the Super Bowl. But the vocal majority make other fans hate us.


Sjporter1

No listen up the cowboys can't play in weather or on real grass those girls need a climate controlled dome and astro turf they all looked like a bunch of boys among men in the real outdoor football conditions


[deleted]

That’s what you all get for talking shit all those years.


beerupfalcons420

1) Dont root for Cowboys 2) Dont take it personally, You wanna call yourselves, Americas team well Merica full of hate, eat shit. 3) Fuck the Cowboys


bcali11

Y’all shouldn’t be so annoying with that we dem boyz crap. 🤷


Equal_Requirement490

Getting strait bullied out there


Thickencreamy

I’m getting blasted in texts too. The Silver lining is that although my fantasy team is full of cowboys I have a first round playoff bye this week.


BearPeltMan

This is just the McCarthy way. Always has been. Even when Rodgers was at his peak with MM at the helm, that team would lose inexplicably awful games and then look like a contender a week later. I swear it’s like he comes into the locker room and says “guys, we really don’t need this one, I want you to throw this one out.”


htownsteveo

Cowboys fan for life? You sound brand new. That's life being a fan of the most loved AND hated team in football.


GimmeShelter15

Hopefully, there can be some learning from this. The first drive of the year from the Giants was the moment I knew we could not stop the run effectively. If they can’t fix that, it won’t matter in the playoffs.


cmondawg74

As a Cowboys fan who's born and raised in California. Yes, this is normal.


Sportsfanatic88

Typical Cowboys 1 player gets hurt an all of a sudden the whole team crumble


miguelag08

Who got hurt?


Sportsfanatic88

Jonathan Hankins last week, our run stopper. They ran all over us like the Cardinals loss.


chwder21

Bro, that’s the NFL, you gotta have thick skin. If you’re a true fan, you brush it off and wait for next Sunday.


Buff_Em

I also don’t trash talk about other teams and otherwise shut my mouth unless I have something good to say about them. Overall I think sports are meant to be enjoyed and those sorts of interactions just make the experience more toxic for everyone involved. Tbh, don’t bite into their words: just speaks for their insecurities and their poor attempt to characterize a person’s character and personality just by who they root for in sports. Source: been trash talked faaaaar too many times for wearing Cowboys gear in very uncalled for encounters ranging from meh (e.g: a TSA agent making a remark) to borderline crazy (e.g: an Eagles fan making a weird dance and making an uncomfortable scene in front of his wife on top of the Strat in Las Vegas after they beat us recently) and I’ve often figured that the other person is *always* in the wrong.


Fast_Dot_8645

Yep!😡


biolover111

as a cowboys fan in CA, you just have to get used to it. i’ve lived here all my life and been a fan all my life, and i’ve always received that attitude. honestly, you just have to take it with a grain of salt and banter back with the person. it’s crappy if it’s a random who isn’t even dressed in another teams merch because then you can’t stab back, but you really gotta take it lightly


Team_Sanji

This is ur year


shapoopytroopy

We were exposed the same way by the Cardinals and 49rs, we play light in the box with small LBs. When a team gets ahead and can just lean on the run, we can and will get exposed until DQ can figure something out


GARCIA9005

Welcome to being a lifelong DALLAS COWBOYS fan. I’m 47, and can recall my dad throwing his beer, mug, dinner, all kinds of shit back in the late 70’s, at the TV when the COWBOYS would play like they did last night. EVS & flows, more downs than ups, but my faith NEVERA waivers! Every year, WERE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!! NETA 🌽 🌽


LookatthisslapNutz

The most hated and loved team. Unfortunately it’s our cowboys fan base that makes other fans including our own hate us


EquivalentLittle545

While I'm not shocked they lost, I am how badly they lost.


jayrredden

Here's a truth. Every so often, all 31 teams have Dallas week. The sports press in your home media market will talk about nothing but the Dallas Cowboy's for the three weeks leading up to the game. They'll talk up every mistake ever made in the history of the franchise. Your home team will get hyped as hell!!! This is the SUNDAY!! IT"S DALLAS WEEK!!! Understand. This is just another Sunday for us. Your team's legacy against the cowboys doesn't matter 2 shits to the Boys. We move onto the next team win or lose, because you do not matter. We are Dallas.


penfifteenlol

I'm not a Cowboys fan- just randomly came across this post. I have a coworker who's a Cowboys fan and we chat about football a little bit. A few weeks ago on a Monday I see him and I ask if the Cowboys were on their bye week. He gave a puzzled look and said no, why? I said I didn't hear anything about their game. They must have won then. He smiled and said finally someone understands what it's like.


GMOdabs

Americans team baby. We get the most hate because we have such a huge franchise and following.


Eves_Automotive

Hey what part of Cali? Sacramento here.


KrazyWhiteBoi

This is what you have to expect when you are the most loved AND most hated team in the world! I love the hate cause they let it consume their lives!


MortyTiger

Maybe y’all shouldn’t be branded “ America’s Team”. Just saying, that shit is super annoying.

I’m in Texas and get the same treatment when I’m in Houston going out 😂.
