Two wins, two losses from the Dallas Cowboys last game

Loss: Great talent put to waste

When you have a decent team and make something out of it, then it is amazing. When you have a great team and make nothing out of it, then it is a great disappointment.

This season, Dallas has the latter. A great offense and a stud defense with absolutely nothing to show for it. In a recent article, I said it would be a complete disappointment of a season if Dallas doesn’t make the playoffs, and well here we are.

I can now officially say, this 2019 season has been a complete disappointment. This offseason sees many big contracts ending. The likes of Dak, Cooper, and cornerback Byron Jones need new contracts.

They are all key players that would leave a big hole if they don’t return next season. The top wide receiver, the starting quarterback, and the top cornerback. Now, the Cowboys do have $86.3 million in cap space next season, but that doesn’t make me any more comfortable.

I don’t think Dallas can afford to lose any of those three players if they want to make a Super Bowl run next season and even long-term. They are all young and they should continue to get better.

Another contract that is ending is linebacker Sean Lee’s. He has been an important piece to the Cowboys defense, even after the emergence of Leighton Vander Esch. He may have injury problems and may not be the youngest, but he is a staple in Dallas’ defense.

Yes, this season sucked. Cowboys fans, including myself, need to look at the bright side and realize that there can only be better seasons ahead. This starts with Garrett being replaced.

It is now time to shift focus to this offseason and the draft. The year 2020 has just begun, it’s a new decade, let’s hope it’s a good one for the Cowboys. Happy New Year, and let’s go Cowboys.
