Wow. Washington came to play today, and Dallas just wasn't there. Combined, that spelled a huge blowout. It could've been worse than 35-7, but Washington went into sleep mode after opening the 2nd half with a TD to make it 35-0. Amazingly, if we win at Carolina next week, there is a good chance we'll follow that up with a home win against the Rams and make the playoffs, but I now have my doubts that we would win a road game in the first round. Hell, it might be at Washington!
It's easy to overreact to one game, especially a big loss or big win by a big margin, but putting it in perspective, this is the only game all season that the Cowboys haven't competed in, and that's pretty good after the last several years. The problem is that this may be the only big loss, but this is the wrong time of the season to lay an egg on the road. Dang, this looked like such a promising season, too. I'm now a lot more pessimistic about our chances to win at Carolina. I'm just not sure we will have the heart to compete well enough to turn that game into a coin flip which we might sneak away with.
