Dallas Cowboys Officially Reach Embarrassment Stage

When your fans show up wearing bags over their heads and holding signs that make light of the team’s terrible record, you know the season is over.

A little over 81,000 fans were at Cowboys Stadium on Sunday wearing Halloween costumes, but the scariest sight of the day was the horrendous play of the Cowboys.

The Cowboys turned the ball over four times and got blown out by the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-17 in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated.

Dallas fell to 1-6 on the season and are off to their worst start since Troy Aikman’s rookie season in 1989.

The Cowboys have lost four straight for the first time since 2002 and have 11 turnovers in those four losses.

For a team that was considered by many to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender to have sunk so low so quickly is an affront to every Cowboys’ fan.

All that’s left of Dallas’ season is whether they’ll end up with the worst record in the NFL. Looking at the Cowboys’ remaining schedule, chances are good they’ll accomplish that dubious feat.

After another embarrassing loss on Sunday, there were barely enough fans left to make their boos echo throughout cavernous Cowboys Stadium.

Even more embarrassing is knowing that a stadium built to accommodate more than 100,000 fans will be the Cowboys really big house of horrors for the remainder of this season.

And perhaps the saddest fact of all is that everyone knows what’s wrong with the Cowboys except owner Jerry Jones, the man with an ego the size of Texas.

After the loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, Jones asked for forgiveness from Cowboys’ fans.

As pathetic as that is, I won’t give Jones my forgiveness, nor should any Cowboys’ fan. This fiasco is his creation and his alone.

All the failures associated with the organization since he basically ran Jimmy Johnson out of town 17 years ago are his responsibility, and Jones only has himself to blame.

When it’s all said and done, Jones will fire Wade Phillips and begin the quest for another coach he hopes is stupid enough to put up with his bovine feces.

If Jones doesn’t learn his lesson after this season he never will. Dallas will be doomed to mediocrity for infinity or at least until he finally walks away from the organization.

But Jones won’t learn his lesson. He’ll find another patsy head coach, trade draft picks for players that aren’t capable of helping the team, draft players he has no real clue about and sign players to huge contracts only to see them fail.

That’s what’s become of the Dallas Cowboys – an embarrassment to the nth degree.
