I think a healthy Cowboys team could have competed in the playoffs. I think a healthy Cowboys team would have run away with this division.
What blows me away is...the season before last year (i think) the Cowboys had the Historical NFL's worse defense in the history of the game!
The following season, they went on a streak and won 12 games, and won all road games! And, if not for some mafia fool named Blandino, the Cowboys could have gone even further in the playoffs.
So, then, the draft comes and by some chance, the Cowboys get three first round talent, and the excitement begins. Byron Jones, Randy Gregory and then La'el Collins somehow lands in the Cowboys hands. Murray bails...for mo, mo, mo money so he can win a SB. And, the Cowboys decide that the goof ball named Weeden is somehow going to back up Romo.
This season, Dez goes down at the start, Romo goes down at the start...Scandrick is out for the season and the oline is not playing as the best oline in the NFL. Weeden cannot win one freaking game...so, they trade for Matt Cassell and he cannot win a freaking game!
It's no wonder that I am a Cowboy fan because this kind of stuff just does not happen! lol
All I can do is think about it, laugh about it, cry about it, and forget about it!
