It was tough as shit to take as a fan. I'm still not over it. Can't imagine how it felt to actually be a part of it.You may be right. I don't have a legitimate idea as to what needs to be done to fix the problem. Maybe the players felt let down by the organization (I.e. FO and Coaches) when the 2-3 players who were primarily responsible for the playoff loss against Pittsburgh were not made to pay a price. There are definitely internal problems and the players seem to know it. Could be why so many players and (a few real) coaches leave at the first real opportunity. I for one, am tired of it.
There was a diaspora of good coaches afterwards as well. They all chased promotions for the most part, but did the feeling of leaving a shit show internally play into it?
Maybe the guys that have been here throughout the Dalton era have finally been Bengalized. I sure as hell hope not, because it would be an absolute shame. They work their asses of year in and year out and meet the same end every single time. Maybe they've just stopped believing that they can do it. It sure looked like a lot of the fight and tenacity had gone out of them in Dallas.
