Humiliating is having a talented team whose effort and execution are both negated by a more talented team to the tune of a rout. It is questionable whether Dallas was more talented than Washington. Washington defense is certainly better than Dallas'. Another certainty is Dallas putting forth junior high effort. Let me apologize to junior high teams for typing that.
Humiliating (and humbling) to me happened November 1985, 44-0, to the Chicago Bears on their way to a certain Super Bowl victory. Cowboys were railroaded. And it was not due to lack of effort. Dallas was outplayed, Dallas was outcoached, Into mush that day. It was solely "Here is your <expletive> whooping. You're welcome."
Yesterday's game was sad and pathetic but the most humiliating? I totally disagree.
I disagree, there is nothing humiliating about getting beat by a simply better team. I'm sure all of us that played football back in high school remember when you had to play that one team in your district that was a 5A powerhouse and even though everybody tried their best you just couldnt compete with them because half their dam players had scholarship offers.
So yeah, they would whoop you like you stole something, we lost one year 52-12 in a game like that. Nobody felt humiliated because everybody on our team was playing their guts out and giving it their all, and the following year we played them again and we only lost 24-14 and we celebrated like it was homecoming because we figured not getting blown out was literally a win for us, lol.
This Cowboys team is totally different, they are not even trying. Watch the video and Sharp shows a play where the RB runs straight up the gut and everybody just stands there looking, both the A and B gaps are wide open. That is not a talent issue where the other team is just soo much better, that is an effort and pure lack of desire to compete. That is what is truly humiliating, the total and complete lack of will to compete.
