DEZ BLOWUP (1 Viewer)

Notice how the video completely leaves off the part at the end. You know, the part where his team captain is begging him to come over and talk about the last play because the game's not over yet, but Bryant is too busy being "positive" to be bothered with actually trying to win the game.

:lmao: at the idea this was something "positive". When your QB and team captain want to talk to you about a play they want to run and you not only refuse to do so, but respond by screaming at them, that's about as bad as it gets on the sidelines.

I don't have a problem with anything Dez did earlier in the game, even if it had to do with more targets. But when your teammates are trying to talk to you about strategy on the field and you're too busy being a diva, that's as bad a teammate as you can be.

The video also shows Bryant profanely encouraging teammates, shouting that the Cowboys had worked too hard to lose the game.

You'd think then, that he would be interested in knowing what the last play would be instead of his histrionics. He may think he wants to win as much as humanly possible, but if he doesn't confer with the QB and the rest of the offense and actively distracts them, then he doesn't know how to go about actually winning.
 
I find it humorous that several black talking heads on ESPN played the race card, wondering why Jason Witten wasn't receiving criticism for his animated sideline talk as well. Funny how they failed to mention that the mediator in that exchange, DeMarcus Ware (a black man), was all in Dez Bryant's face, not Witten's, about acting right. That would disrupt their "the media loves blowing up stories about the angry black man" narrative.

ESPN has really gone downhill on the news side of things. Everyone is trying to "Skip Bayless" it up way to often. It's bad when you read about what the producers tell the on air talent to run with.

That's the part that irritated me with some of the apologists' spin. Passion for winning is wasted effort when the knucklehead can't get over his butt-hurt enough to participate in a play conference.

The blow-up itself I didn't think was a huge deal. Guys get pissed and over-react. Tempers flare and you yell when you don't need to. But to be so into your own rant that you can't be bothered to listen when people are telling you to re-focus on the next play is just ######tery.

I saw that also. It was total nonsense.

 
I think Dez just sits there all game and sees Detroit constantly throwing and attacking downfield ALL game long... where Dallas dinks and dunks near the LOS for quarters at a time. The Cowboys always seem to have the weapons, but there are few games where it feels like they really are in attack mode. Garrett is just so conservative, ala Mr. White in Atlanta.

I am not an NFL coach, I dont know what the best way to play is. It just seems like Dallas always finds ways to lose these kind of games, moreso than other teams.
So how has Detroit's attacking offense worked out for them, really? The Lions have one more win than Dallas but also have scored fewer points and have allowed more.

Seems like it's a bit of a toss-up. It's not like slinging it all over to Calvin all game has made Detroit a perennial powerhouse during his career. So I can't necessarily conclude that not getting Dez the ball enough is the reason Dallas consistently underwhelms every year.
