Misery loves company, as they say, and on Sunday down in Arlington, the Dallas Cowboys joined the New York Giants in that misery.
A week after the Giants saw their season come to an underwhelming end, the Cowboys did what the Cowboys do and choked in the playoffs.
Despite home-field advantage and the annual round of, “this is our year,” Dallas was blown out by the Green Bay Packers, 48-32, in a game that was never as close as the final score indicates.
Quarterback Dak Prescott tossed two interceptions while dealing with some miscommunication issues with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and Mike McCarthy exited the field for what may have been his final time as Cowboys coach.
Unsurprisingly, the entire football world had a little fun at Dallas’ expense. That includes Giants Twitter, which unloaded on the Cowboys without hesitation or restriction.
Interested in what was said? Well… Here we go.
I don’t even want to watch this game anymore. Just show live feeds from the security cameras of the crowd! That’s the entertainment now.

The Packers need to take their foot off the gas or else the Cowboys may hire a head coach that isn't a puppet for the Jones family

Giving up a 50 piece in the playoffs is crazy.

The most post season points allowed in @dallascowboys history… and the 1st ever 7 seed to win a playoff game in the NFL belongs to the @packers

Someone deny Bill Belichick entry into Texas.

The NFL is wild. What an embarrassing exit for Dallas.

It's never smart to overreact to one game, but it's hard not to keep thinking …
🏈If you're the Seahawks, it would be really hard to sell your fanbase on Dan Quinn after this.

I sat there and watched Dallas ruin the Giants season in Week 1 & got soaked in the rain in a 40-0 beat down. It was awful. Dallas fans talked tons of trash. McCarthy ran it up in the 2nd matchup. Dallas’ season lasted exactly 1 week longer than the Giants as a #2 seed. Karma pic.twitter.com/vwX6I5OteJ

Dak should've changed his cadence in the second half to "There they go!" for the crowd.

The #DallasCowboys in the playoffs. They talk a big game during the season, but in the playoffs https://t.co/cwgwevZEWL

I can't imagine winning 16 consecutive home games and then getting blown out like this. If I was a regular season ticket holder and did not witness my team lose in person in TWO YEARS, I would've felt unstoppable. This is a disastrous collapse.
— Justin Penik (@JustinPenik) January 15, 2024
Hopefully Dak can pick up 2 more garbage time TD's so they can somehow convince Jerry that both him and Mccarthy deserve to stay aboard…. I know wishful thinking.

As much as I am enjoying what’s going on so far, this story better not end with Bill Belichick coaching the Cowboys in 2024.

Great effort by Dak to lead the team down the field to score 3 empty TD's and Mccarthy to keep his team engaged throughout. I think Jerry should give both of them massive extensions. Showed a lot of fight for Dallas.

Ok, all I want is for Dallas & Philly to get bounced and then I can enjoy the playoffs. I didn’t think the Pack would get it done, but boy did they ever. That’s one down. You know what to do tomorrow night Tampa! pic.twitter.com/DTLViQIstv
