For all the talk about how the 2019 Dallas Cowboys were going to be different than past editions — all the proclamations of an upper-echelon depth chart and meaningful youth development — the franchise and head coach Jason Garrett have once again reverted into a familiar seasonal groove of mediocrity. The painfully frustrating time marked by the autumn chill of .500 football in Dallas — leaving fans frustrated about the leap forward that never seems to happen and the promising start that is rarely sustained. Cowboys fans know this time of middling results all too well, thanks to 3-3 records after six games in 2019, 2018 and 2017.
