The Dallas Cowboys were never in the game with the Green Bay Packers. Not once. From the jump it was obvious that the Packers were taking the game seriously and that Dallas thought their winning streak at home and seven-point spread would do the heavy lifting for them. They did not.
As a result the season is over and the ‘looking in the mirror’ season has officially begun. Hard questions will be asked and answered in the coming days and weeks, but the team is doing just about everything it can to render next regular-season meaningless given how trusting them as a result of it (even one that goes every well for them) can turn out.
