Let's say Dallas scores a TD on that final drive and the defense held up.
Dallas would have won 31-28.
I would imagine fans and the media being much more forgiving of the coaching staff and Zeke's atrocious play.
What would have been made out of that game had it resulted in a last minute W?
Let's suppose on 4th Dak throws a TD pass.
If we score, we don't see the Austin non-return.
Still see us run on 2nd when it hadn't been working for most of the day.
Still see the blown blocking on 3rd and 2.
Still see us pigheadedly continuing to run Zeke on 1st down despite relentless failure and relentless success when we ran, just like in the Saints game.
Still see Jaylon not call a timeout with 10 defenders on the field.
Still see him take a push and then take a nap for the rest of the play.
Still see him toe drag and be unable to break down.
Still see us get systematically abused on screen plays.
Win or lose, there were some glaring failures.
Many of those ranting now would instead be ranting against those who still point out those failures as "nitpickers".
Win or lose, passing game was great and we had tons of screw ups. What a team we could have with competent coaching.
