The Cowboys refuse to do the simplest thing to solve the dumbest problem and it's going to continue to kill them over and over again

It's something that we all know about. We've watched this happen time and again since 2009. No matter what the Cowboys do, they can't get over this problem with a super simple fix. It affects them when they're bad and it affect them when they're good. 

We're talking about the sun that shines through the giant windows at AT&T stadium and how it continues to be the dumbest problem a team has in this league. 

We saw it hurt the Cowboys yet again on Sunday against the Eagles. CeeDee Lamb has a clear touchdown in 31 other stadiums, but instead he plays in the Sleestack crystals from Land of the Lost and the sun just shined directly in his eyes in the end zone. 

Lamb talked about the moment after the game and said he couldn't see the ball. 

This has been an ongoing thing for nearly two decades and Jerry Jones refuses to fix it. He instead gets mad when reporters ask him about it. Look at some of these quotes he had. 

 “By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not. We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium. I’m saying, the world knows where the sun is. You get to know that almost a year in advance. Someone asked me about the sun. What about the sun? Where’s the moon?” 

What is this guy talking about? It's not like anyone is asking Jones to go full Mr. Burns and create a device that blocks out the sun so he can then force the citizens of Texas to turn on all their lights. Just put some curtains up man. Run to Lowe's and take out a credit card if you have to. It doesn't have to be curtains, you can out up blinds if you want. Maybe call Budget Blinds and they'll get you a deal. But do something. At this point put up some blankets with thumbnails. Anything that could help. 

The problem is, when you ask this man why they don't put curtains up, this is his response. 

“Well let’s tear the damn stadium down and build another one? Are you kidding me?"

We're talking about the most unserious owner in this league here. The guy would rather his team have the sun in their eyes and lose than simply spend some money to make sure they at least have the sun out of their eyes while they lose. By the way, Lamb said he's 1,000% in favor of curtains.
