Let’s begin here: From a Cowboys perspective, the game in Denver was a disaster. It is true that when you look at the tape of any game, things were seldom as good or as bad as they seemed. But that was a stinker, with a capital stink. A perfect template for how this team’s season could go horribly wrong.
But for that to happen, they’d have to play like this over and over. And there is nothing in the DNA of this team to suggest that’s about to happen.
There were no games like this one last year.
