Talk about beaten down. The Dallas Cowboys are tied for the NFC East playoff berth but it sure doesn’t feel like it. It is hard to talk about being a champion or winner when the division is so bad and the chances are good that whoever goes to the playoffs from the East will be a .500 or worse team. The Cowboys still hold the tiebreaker over the Philadelphia Eagles. This should be a time to look for hope and possibilities despite the challenges. Yet all discussion is about what has gone wrong with the team this season.
