Cowboys have troubling soft spots 3 weeks into NFL season, and team ownership is to blame

Late into the night on Sunday, the sea of discontent was washing over the Dallas Cowboys.

They’d suffered a somewhat embarrassing 28-25 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at home, in a game that wasn’t much of a fight until the final half of the fourth quarter. The defense had been flattened for an absurd 274 rushing yards. The offense had been largely toothless most of the night, undermined by a scheme that is struggling to find balance between an atrophied running game and inconsistent passing attack. All bonded together by a cast of players who appear to have lost interest in masking their frustrations.
