After two quarters, the Dallas Cowboys are trailing the Washington Commanders 13-6. This team always finds something to keep us fans talking about. This time it comes right before the playoffs. 

After a botched punt by Bryan Anger, Washington jumped out to a early 7-0 lead.

KaVontae Turpin then muffed a punt giving Washington another short field and Washington missed a chip shot field goal. 

After pick-6 throw by Dak Prescott, Washington jumped out to a 13-0 lead. 

The Cowboys offense ended the half with a touchdown pass from Prescott to CeeDee Lamb. An absolute dart. Brett Maher then missed the PAT, giving Washington a 13-6 lead. (of course).  

They shouldn’t have even played any starters if this is how they were going to produce. 

I can’t stress this enough, it doesn’t matter if they are playing the best team in football or the worse, they play to the level of their competition. 

The Eagles are leading the Giants at half, so let’s not even focus on that. Let’s focus on the fact before this game started this team ALWAYS looks bad after a bye week or an extended week off.  

If I had to guess, Mike McCarthy will play the starters coming out of half and try to score a touchdown and then pull them. 

Look guys we see this every single week, I don’t know it is, but this is the time to get everyone out of the game and let them rest until next week. We are going to be kicking ourselves if something happens to Micah Parsons, Lamb, Tony Pollard, or someone else. 

Somehow after looking so bad at times, this team has still averaged 30 plus points the last seven weeks, but they do make these mistakes in the playoffs they will be going home early. 

This team looks like the best team in football and the worst team in football at times, make it make sense.
