The Dallas Cowboys are done. Their season ended last night in horrific fashion, giving up, I think, for the 3rd time this year, a 40 burger on defense. Just when we all bought into the notion that with Quinnin Williams there and the return of a couple of injured players, that all of a sudden, the Dallas Cowboys were back. Well, it's not once, it's Not twice. It ain't 3 times. It's 4 times. 4 times they've given up a 40 burger this year and last night ended their season. Fact check that, my friends. Even if the Dallas Cowboys win out, they're not getting in. And because they lost last night, your Philadelphia Eagles, woo, Monday night's game against the Chargers, well, obviously important. You want to figure out all your nonsense and get grooving into the final quarter of the season and obviously into the playoffs, the game doesn't mean anything anymore. I had the Cowboys won last night, then we would have seen the Eagles playing for the first time in about 2.5 years with actual pressure on them late in the regular season to have to win a game. But let me go back to the Cowboys for a second. Because they, it was kind of like a microcosm of everything that's been wrong with the Dallas Cowboys for a very, very long time. First off, thoughts and prayers at the CD Lamb, who was on, uh, was on the brink of having a 200+ yard receiving game, had 6 catches, a bucket a corner, uh, then as the concussion on the deep ball and obviously, the offense changed in that moment. Number 2, you know, the Cowboys have had a litany of great players who, for whatever reason, Whether it's out of selfishness or ego or immaturity, you know, decide that they're more important and they're bigger than the team. And you saw last night with George Pickens. Now George Pickens has had an amazing season statistically, right? Over 1000 yards. He's a minimum of 60+ yards prior to last night in every single game this year. He's a free agent. Cowboy fans fell in love with him, and the Cowboys are gonna be an interesting spot. You almost have to bring him back because. The combination of Pickens and lamb is as good as any wide receiver duo in the NFL, and I think they're top 3 when it comes to just pure talent with your top two wide receivers. OK. That being said, you saw why Pittsburgh got rid of him last night because there are games and series where George Pickens decides to take. the night off. And I want to be very clear about this. He's an amazing wide receiver. He is a top 6 or 7 wide receiver. You want to go higher? I'm not gonna argue with you. In the NFL today. The dude is dominant and has shown how good he can and is, uh, can be and is in the NFL, but you can't take plays off, man. Like the Dallas Cowboys season was on the line last night and George Pickens decided he was disinterested in playing football last night. And it's right there for everybody to see. Like you, if you're a left guard, you can hide taking a playoff. You can. Maybe you just got beat, right? But when you're a wide receiver and you don't come back for a ball, you don't make any attempt to catch the ball at all on the deep. Pass down 4430 with just over 2 minutes to go. Maybe you catch the ball, maybe you score the touchdown. A lot of maybes here, but now it's a one score game. Who knows what happens? And you looked up or like, yeah, the ball's right there, no interest in catching it. And it drives you crazy because on the open market based on talent alone, George Pickens is getting $100 million guaranteed and about $40 million a year. Like he's that good. But then you watch a game like last night and I'm saying to myself, if Jerry Jones said goodbye to Micah Parsons, a guy that's got a motive that doesn't quit, who's one of the best defensive players in football for whatever the ultimate reason really was. Jerry Jones is not giving George Pickens 40 million a year or 90 to 110 million guaranteed because you can't. Now, there will be a sucker that does. There will be a team that says, man, imagine if we had George Pickens here because he is that good. But I'm just telling you now, buyer beware because as great as George Pickens year has been statistically, and I'm not saying he's the root root cause of last night's loss, their defense obviously is turnovers played a role in that as well, but man. You know, it's so obvious that you didn't give a damn last night. I mean, I hate that. I do. And, and if you're a quarterback, you've, you've been trusting him all year, and you couldn't trust him yesterday. He wouldn't run the slant route for whatever reason, and he wouldn't play ball for whatever reason. And then when you do throw him the deep ball. And to be fair, he had the cornerback beat. The safety comes over. It would have been a tough catch anyway, and the ball lands literally 3 ft from him and he doesn't even make an attempt to catch it because they're down by 2 touchdowns at that point. He stopped caring. He made a business decision last night.
