Inevitably in sports, when something goes wrong, blame is assigned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This week, we decided to assign blame for the slow start to the Dallas Cowboys season. A season that began so optimistically with many pundits calling the team a possible contender. Those were the good ol\u2019 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Today, on the precipice of Week 6 for the team, they have a 2-3 record and the infamous loss at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team is sputtering and if they get further into a hole, they may not be able to get themselves out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">So who is to blame? We put that question to Cowboys fans, and the biggest winner loser in the blame game was none other than Jerry Jones with 43% of the vote. It all starts at the top.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The players (21%) and Brian Schottenheimer (19%) came in second and third, well behind Jones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This kind of vote says that fans believe the issue in Dallas is more systemic, it\u2019s baked in as long as Jones is the GM and final word on everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">We also did a confidence poll, and only 13% were confident the team was headed in the right direction. If the Cowboys drop another game in Week 6, things are going to get spicy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Someone has to take the blame.
