Day after bad loss good news thread

[Midswat]

24 hour rule. Send our cowboys our positive vibes


Bad news is Crawford and McClain got hurt


Good news is McClains injury is supposed to be very minor and Crawford was walking around fine after the game.

Jacksonville is terrible and we have a bye coming after

Patmon made a great play and showed potential

Eagles lost their starting Qb, a stud linebacker for a long time

Leary will be back next week.

Romo too.

We are basically sitting pretty at 6-3

 

[dbair1967]

If they can win this week and not have any further injuries, 7-3 going into the bye is sitting pretty good

The Redskins loss stings, but you'd be hard pressed to find many people who REALLY believed the Cowboys would be 7-3 going into the bye.

 

[Midswat]

All out losses are NFC games which also hurts but yeah were sitting pretty.

 

[Mr.Po]

Is it me or does McClain seem to have a new injury every week?

The last 2 weeks seem reminiscent of 2013'. Questionable play calling and a defense that can't get off the field.

After a full game of watching Weeden it's easy to see why Cleveland kicked him to the curb.

The loss yesterday wasn't surprising just how inept this team looked from the top down. Might be a knee jerk reaction but something tells me this team has already played to its high water mark and the slide has already begun. Hopefully Romo gets healthy and finds that November magic because I think it still boils down to surviving December. I'm starting to question if double digit wins are possible.

Im assuming Mclains injuries are due to him being completely inactive from football for over a year. He didnt have any OTA's of any sort.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Yesterday was a real injury, although I think he just got kicked and it's no big deal.

But yeah, other than a little groin strain, I don't think he's really been hurt. Just didn't want to practice.

Everyone knows he's a talent, but I think it was way too soon for Jerry to be talking contract extension, moving Lee to will, etc.

 

[Dodger12]

Eagles lost their starting Qb, a stud linebacker for a long time

The Eagles won the game with their back-up QB.

 

[Midswat]

Eagles also have superior coaching.

 

[dbair1967]

The Eagles won the game with their back-up QB.

Who's better than our backup QB

If Weeden had played for Philly, they'd have lost too

 

[cockstrong]

The Eagles back up QB has more playoff wins than our starter

 

[w8lifter]

Im glad to see some of you all are still positive. I try to be positive at all times, but yesterday I was depressed and feeling like its pointless rooting for any of Jerry's underacheiving teams.

However, Weeden did play badly and I cant see this team even getting to the playoffs with him starting. I wonder how much Jerry is 2nd/3rd guessing him not drafting Johnny Manziel now.

There was several mental lapses that showed poor coaching & playing.

1. Blocked FG. WTF?
2. 4th & 1 call that did not include Murray running the ball. They showed him on the sideline shaking his head after the failed 4th down conversion.

I feel like Im forgetting some of the other obvious 'gaffs' from yesterday.

ANYWHO, I needed ya'lls positive spin on this teams immediate future. Thank you.

 

[peplaw06]

Positive... Romo is making the trip, and after Jerry's mandate, will probably play. We need him... but he needs to be healthy.

I'll save my negatives for another thread.

 

[cmd34]

Jerry's making Romo make this trip to sell the product.

A guy with a major back injury, a long trip, and a bye the next week is the perfect recipe for letting Romo rest for 3 weeks. Nope, let's put him on a plane and have him show up around London to pimp the Cowboys.

...but Jason Garrett is in charge.

 

[Sheik]

8-8 is a real possibility.

 

[Doomsday]

Is it me or does McClain seem to have a new injury every week?

I knew he wasn't hurt, he just wanted to quit. I even said so, at the time of his "injury."

 

[Doomsday]

By the way has anyone else noticed? Since we cut Michael Sam, things have gone to shit?

He might have been a Talisman.

 

[cmd34]

8-8 is a real possibility.

and if "injuries" also justifies Jerry giving Jason another shot then it would be hard to tune in next year. I can't stand Garrett but this team winning the NFC East and winning a playoff game would have justified an extension in my mind. Sneaking in as a wildcard and getting destroyed in the playoffs should not be good enough and 8-8, after this start, should get the whole staff fired. You just never know how or why Jerry will rationalize his decisions.

 

[Mr.Po]

He might have been a Talisman.

Things have gone to shat since Jerry donned a headset and gave his State of the Union we have arrived dribble during the middle of the Skins game.

That was after the Talisman was cut, therefore caused by, cutting the Talisman.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Does anyone know anything about Jax other than they suck?

Only slight worry I'd have would be Bortles figuring it out because he is talented, but I don't think they even have any weapons to hurt us even if he did.
