I will not deny it. I was just one member of the swelling tide that thought the season was over for the Dallas Cowboys just four weeks ago. Despite being a long-time fan and supporter of Jason Garrett, I was ready to throw in the towel and admit it was time to move on. The team was 3-5, trailed both Washington and Philadelphia, nothing seemed to be working on offense despite the defense keeping them in game after game, and now they no longer had a first-round draft pick after trading for Amari Cooper. Despite his arrival and a shakeup on the coaching staff, they had just lost to the Tennessee Titans because they simply could not score enough points and it was time to abandon hope for this year.
