Breaking down the most humiliating Cowboys opener of the Jason Garrett era

Editor's note: Longtime columnist and radio/podcast personality Matt Mosley will be providing his Morning After column each Monday morning, unless the Cowboys play on Monday night. It will be a mix of opinion, insight and random thoughts.

The Cowboys were so awful on offense in a 16-8 loss to the Carolina Panthers that it has folks second-guessing the club's decision to make a mockery of the preseason. It takes a special level of suck to decide that maybe not giving Ezekiel Elliott a single snap in exhibition football may have contributed to his extremely poor numbers over the first three quarters.
