One thing made crystal clear to anyone who hasn’t already known is this: Jerry Jones has made it certain that he cares more about stadium aesthetics than he does giving his team the best chance to win. His eagles postgame rant about the sun is beyond embarrassing. It’s telling.
Since the Cowboys began playing at AT&T stadium in 2009, look at their record in afternoon games (the 3:00 PM afternoon slot) vs the noon kickoff time or the nighttime kickoff times:
- In all regular season and postseason games since 2009, the Cowboys are 29-29 at AT&T in afternoon games. (That’s 3:00 PM slot like last Sunday’s game at AT&T)
- But, the Cowboys are 48-25 in noon and evening games when the sun is not a factor.
- That is a +23 game difference when we aren’t playing in Jerry’s sunbath.
That 29-29 record in sun affected games includes the Jan, 2022 home playoff loss to the niners 23-17. Most Cowboys fans will remember the critical moment late in the first half of that game when Cowboys receiver Cedric Wilson was wide open on a key pass in niner territory but was blinded by the sunlight and never saw it. It cost the Cowboys points…in a playoff game!
So if anyone brings up again that Jerry Jones really wants to win, we can all agree he doesn’t want to win if it means putting up curtains. He loves his beloved “stayjum” more than winning. Truth.
