No, the Cowboys didn’t beat themselves, and no, that didn’t feel like a beating … it was a beating. You’ve got to chop down every tree before the forest falls. Meaning, if you’re not consistent, you can’t be a winner. So can the Cowboys pick themselves up after that loss in San Francisco? Or is there discontent beginning to bubble beneath the surface?
