The Season that NEVER WAS!

With the 2015 season coming into the final quarter, the Season that NEVER WAS- is such a disappointment that is seen, not only on the faces of the players, but also the fans and in some cases, the owners of the Dallas Cowboys!

Let us take into consideration the situation that has brought us to this point!

A year ago, this Dallas Cowboy Football Team was a play away from going to the NFC Championship game with the Seattle Seahawks, in which they won on the road in their stadium! The Cowboys also has a chance to not only go to the Championship Game but keeping their winning streak of road victories in tact! HOWEVER! that was not the case, we all remember the catch that never was with Dez Bryant, and the end of that season, even though the Cowboys did a fantastic job of taking the NFC East!

NOW Fast forward to the 2015 season and the start of the year, the Cowboys seem to be on target to get into the NFC East Championship, until they go up against the Eagles, and the season seemed to crumbled at that moment, and the sound of that was the same as the broken bones that were in Tony Romo's shoulder.  That crackling sound of a collar bone and shoulder, and little bitty breaks along the way. SEVEN WEEKS later and the warrior comes back on to the field and take on the Miami Dolphins and win going away!

But wait!!!!! The team has a short week and has to return to action in under 7 days and take on the undefeated Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton as their quarterback!

On a Thanksgiving Thursday in Arlington, Texas, at AT&T Stadium, the warrior was not crisp, he was not accurate, he was not even CLOSE to what the team or the fans were expecting. Throwing an interception that was returned for a Touchdown on the third play of the game, and then threw another pick-six later in the game, and yet another one, just for good measure. The NUMBER ONE THING to concentrate on in football is BALL CONTROL, and lets face it-- that didn't happen!

Now, late in the game, the young warrior is sacked, falls on his left shoulder, and some that were on the field, said they could hear it snap, almost like a gun going off!

And with that injury, the SEASON THAT NEVER WAS, is now complete, the warrior is on the sidelines once again, gone for the season, the possibility to win out, or even another game are slim and nill, and SLIM just left town!

I am a realist, just like so many of you are, and the facts are, at the beginning of the season this team was a good 12-4 maybe 11-5 team, after the third week when Romo was out, the whole season took on a nasty turn and it spiraled out of control!

I cannot understand the mentality of what is going on in the locker room or who's fault it is to point a finger to, but the facts are.... do you blame Jerry Jones? Jason Garrett? Matt Cassell? Dez Bryant? Greg Hardy? I mean there are enough suspects to fill an entire game of CLUE! It was Col. Mustard in the Library, with the Candle Stick!

Too many factions in this one, too many conspiracies to make sense!

The Cowboys season is done, no SUPER BOWL trip for this bunch even though every year we hear the same thing over and over again, that this team is ready to make a run, well HELL, every team is set to make a run, even the Cleveland Browns are set to make a run!

And before you start, the idea of "JOHNNY FOOTBALL" coming to Big D, and wearing a star, is not a good idea, though Mr. Jones might make a play for him, now that the love affair with the Browns and Manziel seems to be over, but to bring him here, with the baggage that he has, and there is not a person in charge that can control him, case in point is Greg Hardy, and the observe way that Mr. Jones believes that he can give this player a second chance and all.

The ONE person that had control of this team after Mr. Jones purchased it in 1989 from Bum Bright, was Jimmy Johnson, and he is quite content setting on the Sunday Morning FOX Pregame set!

Jimmy Johnson was a master of getting everything out of every player doing the same thing! However, his time went when Mr. Jones fired off his now, infamous line, "I could get 500 guys to coach this team"... and with that Mr. Johnson picked up his toys and got his check and left and moved to Miami, to be the coach of the Dolphins, only to last a couple of years there, and left!

Lets face it, the last coach to have a long term contract with the team was Tom Landry, his first contract was a 10 year deal starting in 1960, and we all know how that turned out, for 29 years he was the head coach of the Cowboys, the ONLY coach the Cowboys ever had, until that faithful day in February when Mr. Jones and Mr. Bright agreed on a number and the Cowboys were now in the hands of Arkansas Oilman! The rest, they say is history!

The Epilogue to all of this, is the fact that the Cowboys season for 2015 for the most part is in the History Book, could be a 3-13 team, could be 4-12 maybe, but the fact is they will have to set their sights on the NFL Draft of 2016, and see if there is a quality Quarterback in the mix, coming out of College, and give them the reigns of this team, and make it theirs , just like they did with a young Troy Aikman, or even before that, a young Don Meredith out of SMU!

All in all, this WAS the SEASON that NEVER WAS!

Just a thought!
