SKYFALL

Skyfall

                Yesterday, the Cowboys had a chance to make a step in the right direction. With a convincing win over the lowly Browns, the team would continue to put the pressure on The Giants and make this a race. Well, they did win, but it took overtime and a Dan Bailey game winning field goal to make the dream stay alive. Should we celebrate that abomination of a game? Have the Cowboys fall so far from the top that this is an acceptable loss?

                We all know the great memories from the good old days of the Cowboys dominance. From Tom Landry to Jimmy, from Staubach to Aikman, America’s team had always risen to exceed expectations. That is why the franchise has five Super Bowl Championships and eight conference championships. But you don’t have to go that far to remember the good times. Even a few short years ago, the Cowboys were led by a young Tony Romo to the Number one overall seed in the NFC. They had expectations to do great things. Sadly, they didn't live up to those lofty goals, but at least they were in the hunt. Now, the expectations for this team have fallen so low that an overtime game over an inferior team is a cause for celebration. Tom Landry would be rolling over in his grave right now for seeing how low his team has sunk.

                I think it’s time to relinquish our high hopes for a Super Bowl every year. We have now been in the practice of over hyping talent on this roster for years and it’s finally getting kind of tiring to see the same old “process” every year.  I call for the overhaul of the organization and it seems time to bring in a GM. Jerry, I love ya, you are the best owner in Sports.  But, your GM decisions are starting to eradicate this team from within. I’m glad you have some awesome skill positions that you carefully picked. But, you forgot that teams win in the trenches and you are seeing the worst offensive and defensive lines in recent memory. A new GM will help focus the direction of the Cowboys. You will still get the limelight and maybe help stop the Cowboys from their Sky fall down into obscurity.  It’s your only chance to win.
