IRVING, Texas – No one is happy.
Not you for sure.
Not Jerry or Stephen.
Not Jason Garrett, nor the assistant of your choice.
And certainly not the players.
Kind of reminds me of this poem’s final verse:
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville – mighty Casey has struck out.
Yeah, the Cowboys, too.
For the fourth consecutive season the Cowboys must sit home to watch them others play this weekend: Philadelphia and New Orleans, Green Bay and San Francisco, then Kansas City and Indianapolis, Cincinnati and San Diego. Then next week Seattle and Carolina, Denver and New England join the NFL postseason party. But no Cowboys, experiencing their longest absence from the playoffs since the five-season span from 1986 to 1990, but not quite as devastating as those six years to start this century when the Cowboys qualified for the playoffs only once from 2000-2005.
