Cowboys fans are fed up.
Every year they think it is their year, but it never turns out that will. It has been a long time since 1995 the last time the Cowboys won a championship.
It is going to be harder this year because Dak Prescott will be out for a while.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will be out “several weeks” due to an injury to his thumb that requires surgery, owner Jerry Jones said after Sunday’s 19-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Prescott jogged to the locker room late in the fourth quarter to get his right hand examined after he hit the hand of Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaq Barrett and did not return. Jones said Prescott suffered a fracture near the thumb on his throwing hand.
The Cowboys will likely turn to backup quarterback Cooper Rush for next week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Prescott, who is now 2-5 in season openers in his career, completed 14 of 29 passes for 134 yards and was intercepted once and sacked twice while the Cowboys were held without a touchdown in a season opener for the first time since 2001.
The last time the Cowboys scored fewer than 6 points in a season opener was Sept. 10, 1989, a 28-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints, which was the first game of Jones’ tenure as owner and general manager and the debut of Troy Aikman and Jimmy Johnson.
The injury caps a strange week for Prescott, who was limited in last Thursday’s practice because of a sore ankle that he blamed on a new pair of cleats. Prescott kept insisting he was fine and it would not be an issue against the Buccaneers after going through full workouts on Friday and Saturday.
This looks like another lost season for the Cowboys.
To add insult to injury fans threw trash at Dak as he left the stadium with the injury.
