It was a very disappointing way to end the season, as Lee Vowell wrote in his article grading the wild card loss. What made it so disappointing was the Seahawks could have won the game. The Cowboys played well and deserved the win; no sour grapes here. Despite Pete Carroll’s support for the play-calling, I agree with so many others that the Hawks pressed the run far too much. I also freely admit Coach Carroll knows more about football than most NFL coaches, let alone me.
But I’m not here to talk about disappointment. I’m not here to complain about the chances that got away.
