They cut too many deals with players who cannot bring them to the finish line.
I despise the Cowboys, and it is a cruel irony that when I won a trip to the Super Bowl, it was to see the Cowboys beat the Steelers (how did Neil O’Donnell make it to a Super Bowl?).
The 49ers and Cowboys are hobbled, and underperforming. It looks like Minnesota, Detroit and maybe Washington are the new class of the NFC until the Rams heal and add a few more pieces.
All four NFC North teams look like playoff teams. It’s going to be brutal.
O’Donnell was the best player the cowboys had that day. I remember it as I watched it in Dallas at a friends house.
Sometimes teams carry their QB to the championship. Look at QBs who never won it all - Dan Marino being the prime example - as opposed to those who did. Even John Elway never won it all until he had Terrell Davis in the backfield.
