Any hope that the Dallas Cowboys could compete for a playoff berth this season vanished in Sunday's embarrassing 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. In a vacuum, scoring 27 points against one of the least explosive offenses in the NFL should be enough to win. But we are talking about arguably the worst defense in franchise history.
Cowboys fans are out in droves on social media pleading with Brian Schottenheimer to fire Matt Eberflus. It doesn't sound like that will happen, but it felt apparent after the loss that Schottenheimer is losing faith in the defense's ability to execute Eberflus' scheme.
