I got nothing.  I mean, what even was that?  As Hippo so correctly and astutely points out in his post-weekend thoughts, they didn’t even get one lateral out of this.  There was a better chance that Dak would complete an 80+ yard bomb, to a member of his team, for a (potentially) (glares at Brett Maher), than there was this leading to anything but exactly what happened.

It’s painfully apparent that Dallas wasn’t winning this game.  The defense played pretty well until they gassed, likely from being on the field far too often.  Cast. Blue Bunny displayed his usual mastery of time management, Pollard may have broken his ankle, Dalton Schultz doesn’t understand the foul line, and none of that made as much difference as did Dak reverting to Bad Dak, tossing two brutal interceptions, narrowly missing a third that would not have been his fault, then even more narrowly missing a fourth that would have been totally his fault, then almost taking a safety to start the last drive while running around like an idiot and burning 7-8 seconds that Dallas did not have.  The Cowboys, for better or worse, go as Dak goes, and last night Dak was going home.

I’m not blinded with anger enough to suggest that Dallas would have been better with Cooper Rush in at QB, (although I doubt they could have been worse), so I’ll have to accept that this loss was meant to be.  My change from last week is, therefore, that Dallas would stop coming up with the dumbest possible last play of the game, and at least run something out there that has a fart’s chance in a windstorm of succeeding.

Have at it.
