Sunday Could Be a Poetic Ending to a Mediocre Era of Cowboys Football

By now, you’ve all heard that Colin Cowherd is now the voice of logic and reason in Philadelphia after he obliterated WIP. His main point: Sunday’s decisive divisional matchup between the Cowboys and Eagles won’t change much for either team. Carson will still be a good quarterback. So will Dak. Both teams will still be underperforming. I agree with him…for the most part, because it may change ONE thing.

If the Cowboys lose, it would be the most poetic and fitting ending to the Jason Garrett era. It shows exactly what’s systematically wrong with that franchise. Come Sunday, Dallas will be the more talented team on the field. If they lose, it would be due to lack of execution and getting out-coached. All season and really through all of Garrett’s tenure, that team has played down to their competition and come up small in big moments.

On Sunday, Dak will have Zeke Elliot and Amari Cooper. Carson Wentz will have Greg Ward and Boston Scott. And while I’ve grown to have an affliction for our guys, it stems from the underdog status not their talent which hails in comparison to Elliot, Cooper & Co.

Yes, we’ve once again been thrust into the underdog role thanks to painstaking injuries. It’s a role we are familiar playing, much in large part due to the fact our medical staff is  just a cast of Minions. It will come down to scheme and spirit. Something we are familiar with, and exactly what it took to win these past two weeks.

For the Cowboys, they face a similar role just like us: the talented yet underperforming team. The “on paper they looked good” role. It’s been an era of Cowboys football defined by mediocrity. It would only be fitting if it ended the way they came in, with a small pop instead of a bang.
