The real sting to the Cowboys’ loss to the 49ers is they couldn’t even bow out with their dignity intact.The downside of an organization with “America’s Team” as an alternate identity is that it doesn’t afford you ready access to a back way out of the playoffs. No ducking down an alley to a waiting car and solitary reflection. For multitudes of Cowboys fans, not to mention their polar opposites, the risk/reward is steep.
The real “sting,” as Mike McCarthy described the 23-17 exit, is that the Cowboys couldn’t even bow out with their dignity intact. The scene was straight out of Ringling Bros., the sound track a calliope. McCarthy’s explanation for giving Zeke Elliott the ball after he’d already flunked the task of another 1-yard assignment?The numbers backed him then and now. The Cowboys led the NFL in scoring. Dak Prescott and the offense set all kinds of records, not that it matters. The Cowboys’ offense under Kellen Moore was a throwback to the good ol’ days of the Big 12, when Oklahoma and others bullied bad and mediocre teams, then went nose-first when confronted by big-boy football. Same thing with Dallas.
Best I can tell, here’s what transpired on the second half of that designed “Turbo” sequence: An unidentified Cowboy apparently loused it up while celebrating Bryan Anger’s first-down pass. This is what they do. They’re undisciplined. I mean, they can’t even be relied upon to stand still until the ball is snapped.Which brings us to the last play, one that will live in Cowboys infamy. Tony Romo only thought he took heat for that bobbled hold against Seattle.
