By all intents and purposes, the Cowboys (now 1-7) are officially out of the picture this season. The 45-7 embarrassment brought down upon them by the Green Bay Packers made it absolutely clear that this team will not be in the post-season even with the aid of a deity or two. The writer of the first article I’ve linked here suggests that it was the defeat at the hands of the New York Giants that finally crippled the team completely. However, I believe the Cowboys already had a record of 1-4 by the time both teams faced each other, so I’m not willing to agree with him. A better analogy of one loss completely destroying a team would be the New Orleans Saints against the New York Giants last year. Both teams were undefeated by the time of the game (4-0 or 5-0), but the Giants got embarrassed. I don’t remember the score of that game but I do remember that it was something shameful with the Giants giving up over 30 points.
The Cowboys have a habit of disappointing their fans. So deeply-rooted is this reputation that one of the most hardcore Cowboys fans I have ever met told me that he was happy the other week. He said he was glad they were coming to an early end this season because he would not be getting his hopes up for a Superbowl run. Weird- I would be quite depressed, just as I was last year after the Saints crippled the Giants.
