After being a fan for like 30 years I needed some time to reflect before I started venting on the Dallas Cowboys football team. Many things come to mind about the 44-6 drubbing that took place in Philadelphia, but in reality the Cowboys had it coming. This years team has never lived up to their expectations and that was evident in Philadelphia. Sure the Cowboys lost different players throughout the year, but other teams deal with that as well. Distractions were there as well with Terrell Owens and others being in the center of it also, but no excuse. That is the Dallas Cowboys and I am use to it. What I am not use to is this season where it looked like we were not competing.
Tom Landry got rest his soul always had his teams ready to compete and if they ever got blown away you can be sure the next game they were ready to play. Landry did not say much in public, but he got the job done behind closed doors. Now back to the future of the Dallas Cowboys and where they go from here. First of all players need to worry about themselves and not how much they are getting the ball. This is a team sport and you must play as a team. Pointing fingers is all well and good, but it does not change the outcome of the game you got your lunch handed to you.
Cowboy players would be better served to just flat out admit they need to do better from the coaching staff to every player on the team. Cowboy fans are sick at the way they played and have a right to be. The bottom line is they help pay the salaries that these players are getting and deserve better. Next year's team will benefit from this butt-whipping that the Eagles gave them and having Roy Williams for a full year also will help out a lot. The one thing though that needs to change and that is accountability for the play on the field. Until that changes and the finger pointing stops we could see another Texas meltdown in the future.
