After starting with high hopes, the 2017 NFL season soon turned into a real disappointment for the Dallas Cowboys. Suspensions, injuries, off-field controversy, performance and coaching issues, and at times a badly-shaken second-year starting quarterback, all combined to keep them out of the playoffs. Only a counterproductive win in week 17 against a marginally interested Philadelphia Eagles team focused on their pending Super Bowl march kept Dallas from slumping to another 8-8 record under Jason Garrett. Surely things have to get better this year, right?
Well, as someone once observed, don’t ever say it can’t get any worse, because that’s when worse will come in doing a Vince McMahon strut.
