It was clear all year that they had some issues. But they beat the easy teams soundly at home and many things went their way during seasons like eagles collapse and ref debacle with detroit. Clearly detroit beat them that day and in the cowboys house. It should have been a warning. But I guess they thought well we are at home, everyone is picking us and no problem. But when you get on the field and the other team is so focused and ready to play and your qb gets a bewildered look in his eyes lookout. Dak is a very good qb......when he has time to see his receivers. Take that away and he gets happy feet. Quit over-valuing your oline talent. Get a real running game with power. (by the way, derrik henry could have been had before this game(or maybe even old man adrian peterson)). You were never able to equal the play of vander-ecsh or the intensity at linebacker that he contributed. Same at running back. I know money decides a lot of things but if you were honest in evaluations certain low dollar fills in important positions did not pan out. Also one of the most important parts of coaching in my humble opinion is having them ready , focused, determined and with a collective beast will to win.
