They lost by a bigger margin to the Saints earlier this season, also at home, so it's not Jerry's worst home loss.  But who's counting, at this point.

Jerry Jones is such a total clown.  He absolutely refuses to close the blinds on that godawful huge window in that stupid stadium, and more than a few times, it's resulted in the Cowboys staring directly into the sun and making terrible plays.

Mrs. DeCowboys was very irritated about that and asked several times if that could've been shaded.  I told her I thought so, but wasn't sure how the dome of that venue works.

There are remote controlled shades/blinds that can cover that window.  All it takes is the push of a button.  JJ refuses to do it, time after time.  Just a complete moron douchebag asshole.

It only ever becomes a factor in 3:30 games, especially ones in October and later, where the sun is setting in the second half.  It's okay to build an east-west stadium if it's a dome, but if you're not using the dome's capabilities to block the westering sun, then it's just an act of sheer stupidity.

QB is by far most important piece on an NFL team. Elite pass rusher is #2. Hutchinson was leading the NFL in sacks and pressures through 5 games.

It’s devastating blow to the Lions and just sucks to see someone who works as hard and puts as much into it and has the kind of motor and leadership and affect on the team as Hutch go down. He’s one of the main culture change guys in that locker room along with Amon-Ra, Penei, and Goff. Throw in Hutch those 4 are really the cornerstone pieces which have allowed the sorry Detroit Lions to change the culture and flip the entire program into a winner.

I’ll take beating the Cowboys but that injury is absolutely devastating for the Lions. They have to go get Maxx Crosby now before the trade deadline. They have no other consistent pass rush without Hutch.
And its not just him.  Without Davenport and Barnes they are now down their top 3 edge rushers.

Alim McNeil on the inside had his best game ever.  Hell the injury was Hutchinson hitting his leg on McNeils because they were both at the QB.

JJ makes all the decisions.  It's why the Cowboys' front office is so terrible.  He's the GM, CEO, COO, CFO, and every other thing.

He's terrible at all of those jobs, except CFO, where he has proven that he can still make ridiculous amounts of money no matter how poorly the team performs.

JJ believes he is God, and he can watch just fine.  Man I really loathe that dude.

Well Jimmy wanted the trade because he wanted more players and picks, but Jerry and his business team are the ones who made it happen.  It was a great deal for Dallas obviously, and a terrible deal for the Vikings.  I definitely give credit to Jerry for hiring Jimmy and creating that team pretty much from scratch.  The problems arose when Jerry thought Jimmy was getting too much credit, their friendship failed, and Jimmy left.  Then Jerry took complete control.

The roster was still so good that even an absolute buffoon like Barry $witzer could win a Superbowl with that talent, but arguably he should have won one or two more.  Jimmy Johnson would have.

Anyway, ever since, Jerry's insistence on being the frontman and having control, has doomed the Cowboys to mediocrity or worse.  Sucking sucks.

Jets figured out their problem.  They needed to trade for another skill position player, who just happens to be Aaron's boy

Rodgers is the GM & coach of the team. Great call Woody Johnson. Cause that always works out when the star player has that much power in a team sport lol.
