The playoffs are a brand new season and this (undisciplined, unmotivated) team (with horrible special teams) has a lot of talent and could conceivably do something in the playoffs. Highly unlikely but it could still happen.
I have this unlikely dream. It’s not going to happen, but it goes something like this:
1. Cowboys get blown out again on Sunday and the team outright quits on their coach. Something so bad that Jerry can’t take the optics, 41-3 bad.
2. On Monday morning, Jerry announces that Garrett has resigned and someone (Jon Kitna, Kellen Moore, etc) is promoted to head coach.
3. The change lights a fire and the offensive handcuffs are lifted; Cowboys come to play against the Eagles and Commanders and win both games going away, winning the NFC East
4. Cowboys get the Seahawks in the playoffs for the second straight year and once again defeat them after the Seahawks beat their heads against the wall with a conservative game plan. 24-18.
5. Cowboys go on the road to renew their rivalry against the 49ers. It’s a nasty windy, rainy day and Zeke is unstoppable on the ground. He scores 3 touchdowns and Garroppolo fumbles the ball twice, once returned for a TD, and the Cowboys upset the Whiners and head to the NFCCG.
So there you go.
