A week ago, the feeling was nearly universal: Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan had to go. While the defense had been playing much better, the offense was an absolute mess, despite the move to get a real WR1 and the replacement of offensive line coach Paul Alexander with Marc Colombo, featuring Hudson Houck. And now they were facing the Philadelphia Eagles and their formidable defensive front seven with a backup at LG, Xavier Su’a-Filo, filling in for the injured Connor Williams. We had resigned ourselves to the impending death of the 2018 season and, given that the team had traded its first-round pick in 2019 for Amari Cooper, the firings on Black Monday were about all we really were looking forward to.
