Cole Beasley of All People Getting Last Laugh at Cowboys Should Be Final Straw
By Sean Facey
The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2019 season with sky-high expectations, but they've failed spectacularly to meet them. They've been mired in a particularly rough stretch of football lately, losing three of their last four games.
That includes an ugly Thanksgiving loss on their home turf to the Buffalo Bills. Familiar face Cole Beasley, who left Dallas on sour terms, torched his former team's once highly-touted defense for six catches, 110 yards and a touchdown, backing up all of his talk this offseason. He and quarterback Josh Allen made fools out of the Cowboys on national television.
And, in the locker room after the game, the ex-Dallas slot man firmly enjoyed himself.
Beasley's revenge should be the final straw this year after a season filled with disappointment.
Remember, of course, how much time and effort Beasley spent to throw dirt on Dallas this offseason after exiting the city.
If you're Dak Prescott and the defense at home on a holiday, you need to punish brashness like that, not make sure it gets rewarded.
Heads need to roll after that pitiful Thanksgiving performance. Yes, the Bills haven proven to be a strong, well-rounded team this year, but the Cowboys were supposed to be juggernauts. They were billed as Super Bowl contenders to start the year, and they have far more offensive talent than a Buffalo outfit that should still be finding itself.
Laying such an atrocious egg in one of the biggest games of the season while allowing a former employee-turned-nemesis pick your defense apart should be a signal that it's time for change. Head coach Jason Garrett isn't getting the job done. He needs to go.
It's the same story every year with him at the helm: The Cowboys enter the year with massive expectations, they underperform them, and the season ends in disappointment. They're already two steps down that path, and the third and final step is lurking just around the corner.
Jerry Jones needs to shake things up. He of all people should be jumping at the chance to make wholesale changes after the team allowed Beasley to explode.
The Cowboys got slapped in the face on Thanksgiving. The game was proof enough that there won't be any success in Dallas if things stay the way that they are. And yet, here we are.
