FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys' season ended a couple of weeks ago, but judging by the reactions on social media by fans, the home loss to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round remains "raw," to steal a word from coach Mike McCarthy, who used it four days after the game.
The ill will seems mostly about the Cowboys' Super Bowl drought that will stretch on for a 29th season in 2024, rather than that specific defeat.
Since they had two potential playoff games at AT&T Stadium -- where, before they bottomed out 48-32 against the Packers, they had won 16 straight -- there remains a stinging feeling not just for the players, coaches, staff and front office, but also the fans.
