During a week one blowout loss, in-over-his-head-coach Dave Campo has Galloway stay in the game. After starting QB Troy Aikman's had suffered a severe concussion and the day was lost. Only for Galloway himself to tear his ACL and be lost for the season. Thanks coach!

And if you've actually kept reading to this point, good for you o glutton for punishment! I'm wondering if you can think of a worse time of decision-making and ineptitude?
Worst decision ever for the Cowboys.
The worst ever was Jimmy and Jerry parting ways. That prevented the Cowboys from being the GOAT. 3peat. 4peat. Maybe 5peat. There is no bigger chance to blow than GOAT.
Next worst.
Rushing back Terry Glenn from injury in 2007. Glenn reinjures knee. But we keep him on the roster for the year, and bring him back in time for the playoffs. With TO too hurt to play the game, Tony only has Crayton as a legitimate WR for the second half.
And Crayton blows 2 catches. The first one everyone remembers. Wide open drop. Most people *don't* remember Crayton pulling up on what should have been the game winner on the 2nd to last play.
If we had just waited on Glenn, the 2007 Cowboys, the best team since the SB years, has one healthy and competent starting WR for that game. Add that to how close the game was (should have been won), and we likely win, beating the eventual SB champs, with homefield advantage.
A healthy Glenn means we don't sign Roy. 1st and a 3rd, and gazillions guaranteed, keeping a poor starting WR on the field for window of Parcell's players.
The Roy Williams trade is often considered the worst trade ever. It blew the Parcells Grocery Shopping.
But bringing back Glenn early gave us the Roy Williams trade, *and* blew a SB run in 2007 with home field advantage with the best team since the SB years.
