Cowboys Miss Playoffs
The field of NFC playoff hopefuls is much deeper than we’ve seen for the past couple of years, making one of the three wild card spots that much more difficult to earn this year. While the Dallas Cowboys haven’t accomplished anything in the playoffs, it’s hard to deny that they’ve been very good in the regular season and a sure-fire bet to at least reach the postseason. Not this year. In a crowd of many playoff-caliber teams, the Cowboys have a lot more pressing needs that many aren’t acknowledging, as they don’t have any running backs, no secondary depth, and a head coach who has a ton of pressure on him entering his final season. Eventually, things are going to come crashing down for the Cowboys if they can’t get over the hump, so we’ll expect them to crash and burn rather than rise to the occasion.
