IRVING, Texas – Now is the time for self-reflection after 4-12.
What happened this season? Well, the Cowboys were 3-1 with Tony Romo; 1-11 without him.
Simple, right?
Undoubtedly, his two collarbone injuries were defining setbacks in the team’s worst finish in 26 years. To call it a poor excuse for 4-12 is, well, ridiculous. Six of those 11 losses without Romo came by 27 total points. Think he might have gotten four extra touchdowns in six games?
Yet, to say it’s the single reason for 4-12 is a mistake, too.
