Whenever the Dallas Cowboys and their fans lament, I find great joy as a Redskins fan watching them suffer given all the times my team has suffered. The team has completely self-destructed this season when it looked like they could actually play in the Super Bowl their team was hosting. But it was not meant to be since they're now 1-7 and are facing another loss this Sunday when they play at the Giants.
It pains me to see that the Cowboys get such attention even when they're bad while teams that are good, the Chiefs and Raiders for example, who played an excellent game yesterday get no coverage at all. If people honestly thought the Cowboys could play in a hosted Super Bowl this year, I don't know what they were thinking, and I say this because of one reason: It's never happened before. The best chance we have at this happening is when New York holds it because it'll be a 1 in 16 chance instead of a 1 in 32 chance. The odds are always stacked against the home team.
Can we say this will always happen? Of course not. But we can say that the way Dallas buckled under the pressure this year, of all years, was truly awe-inspiring.
