before? That’s the question Cowboys
fans are asking themselves after a third
straight 12-win regular season and early
playoff exit. It’s now been 28 years since
this iconic franchise has been to an
NFC championship game and won the
Super Bowl. If Dallas delivers another
sequel of this bad movie this season,
owner Jerry Jones may finally fire
coach Mike McCarthy and ship quarterback Dak Prescott out of Big D. That
said, the Cowboys have enough talent to
compete for the NFC East title.
