Last game we scored a TD in the opening quarter?
Atlanta, 9th game of the season. No 1st quarter TD's since.
For the season there were only 4 or 5 games where we scored 1st quarter TD's, and in only one game this season did we score more than 7 pts in the first quarter.
Yet the freaking mindless boob HC took the football EVERY time we won the toss this yr until last week vs Philly.
i wonder if he actually said this with a straight face
You mean without the constant media grin? Of course not.
I didn't hear the interview, but I know exactly the tone he said it with: That bland robotic one where he says we all have to take accountability and get better. IOW, he didn't genuinely believe it. It was just more lip service.
Welp, Red said after that thumping they gave the 2nd string Egirls on Sunday, was that a refocus was needed. Shouldnt be a problem with the exact same coaching staff coming back.
In all seriousness guys, I know we've had our eyes wide open for a while now on this board, but how much does Jerry spitting in fans' faces like this affect the bigger fan population? Do you think even more casual fans are getting sick of it, or do they even pay enough attention to realize what's happening?
I don't know what you've found down there, yim, but every year for the last 10 years or so I've gone to a DFW bar/restaurant to watch games, and this year I was shocked at how down the turnout was. The last few years for a 3:30 game, if you weren't early you were walking a quarter mile from where you had to park. Even the terrible 2015 season was pretty busy until the last few games. Last year was crazy. But this one, even at 8-6, there were way fewer fans and parking was no problem.
I'm sure some of that was the anthem stuff, but I wonder if more people are waking up.
Probably not, but I can hope.

Man, I basically don't care anymore. After enough years of Jerry and Garrett serving us dogshit and telling us with a smile it's delicious chocolate pudding, I may be broken for good. Sad for someone who loves football so much and has rooted for this team since he was 8 or 10 years old, but hey, I didn't ask for this. Jerry did it.I hope they are but even guys like us have a homer inside of us that the minute the team seems to be doing something right, we can't help but hope against our inner logic that things might finally be different so we come back for the eventually ball busting finish and jeri gets the eyeballs to keep keeping on.
how about points allowed with 2 minutes or less remaining in the 2nd and 4th quarters??

I do still like following and talking about the team, and I like you guys, so I still do this. If Jerry ever made real changes and not just window dressing, I might come back. But after so many years of this I don't even know about that anymore.
It's sad, really sad.

I looked over there and you're right, even they seem to have turned on Garrett and Jerry. A couple years ago I'd bet they were 90% for Garrett, and now it almost seems just the opposite.Judging by the change in attitude of the Zone, I'd say next year will be a disaster for Jerry attendance, ratings, and merchandise sales wise. The only people defending this crap are only doing so because it gives them the chance to appeal to authority, and berate the level of fandom of others. Even some of those types have had enough.

That gives me a little hope.
You should check out the Cowboys' board on FB. They're as hostile (no pun intended) to both Jerry and Garrett as we are on here.
