Seemingly everything about the Dallas Cowboys’ woeful performance against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was embarrassing. Dallas barely showed up in a lifeless first half, people started calling for Bill Belichick to be the head coach, and an exasperated Jimmy Johnson delivered a heated pep talk. No wonder Jerry Jones was so frustrated.
But all of that pales in comparison to Cowboys fans giving up on their miserable team. In a video courtesy of the Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken, fans started filing out of the Cowboys’ home stadium in the third quarter.
Frankly, I can’t blame these people. It was 41-16, with the Cowboys laying a trademark giant egg in the playoffs. Still, it was the third quarter!
That’s how sad it’s gotten in Dallas:
Cowboys wanted a whiteout crowd. Their fans are now just “out,” leaving a home playoff game in third quarter with Packers up 41-16. pic.twitter.com/OczHkP6Xha

After more playoff disappointment, many changes are likely coming down the pipe for the Cowboys. This roster is far too talented to lose like this in do-or-die games year after year. And judging from the response from Cowboys fans here, it doesn’t seem like they have much faith that anything meaningful will shift soon.
This was how Twitter reacted to Cowboys fans leaving the game very early
Can’t beat the Packers, might as well beat traffic. https://t.co/GavXmuYPpf
