MONDAY COMMENTARY – I TOLD YOU, IT’S OVER

(Listen daily for the Rod Pedersen Commentary at 9:50 am and 5:20 pm on Cat Country 98 FM)

WE TOLD PEOPLE LAST WEEK BUT THEY WEREN’T LISTENING.

I SAID ON THIS COMMENTARY AND ON THE ROD PEDERSEN SHOW ON GAME+ TV THAT THE DALLAS COWBOYS’ SEASON ENDED LAST MONDAY WITH A 28-POINT LOSS TO ARIZONA ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.

SO THE COWBOYS’ 25-3 LOSS AT WASHINGTON YESTERDAY WAS NOT ONLY NOT SURPRISING, IT WAS EXPECTED.

THE POINT OF TODAY’S COMMENTARY IS NOT TO BE NEGATIVE. IT’S TO EDUCATE.

IN SUNDAY’S GAME, BACK-UP DALLAS QUARTERBACK ANDY DALTON WAS KNOCKED OUT WITH A VICIOUS HEADSHOT. THE THIRD-STRINGER MOPPED UP. I THINK HIS NAME IS DANNY BONADUCE.

MEDIA, FANS AND PUNDITS FAR AND WIDE ARE SUGGESTING QBs FOR COWBOYS OWNER JERRY JONES TO SIGN INCLUDING COLIN KAEPERNICK OR THE SUDDENLY-BENCHED RYAN FITZPATRICK IN MIAMI.

NO.

THIS REMINDS ME EXACTLY OF THE SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS 2015 SEASON. THE SECOND DARIAN DURANT WENT DOWN WITH A SEASON-ENDING ACHILLES INJURY JUST BEFORE HALFTIME OF WEEK 1, I KNEW THE SEASON WAS OVER.

IN WEEK ONE!

THE RIDERS WENT THROUGH QUARTERBACKS KEVIN GLENN, BRETT SMITH, TINO SUNSERI AND KEITH PRICE JUST TO GET THROUGH THE SEASON BUT IT WAS NEVER GOING TO SAVE IT. THEY FINISHED 3-15.

THE SAME APPLIES WITH THE COWBOYS HERE.

THE SEASON IS OVER. FORGET ABOUT CHALLENGING FOR THE DIVISION LEAD. THE RACE IS NOW ON FOR THE NUMBER-ONE OVERALL DRAFT PICK WHICH WILL BE CLEMSON QUARTERBACK TREVOR LAWRENCE.

AND DON’T TELL ME ABOUT DAK PRESCOTT WAITING IN THE WINGS ONCE HIS SEASON-ENDING ANKLE INJURY IS HEALED. A LOT OF TEAMS DON’T EVEN HAVE ONE LEGITIMATE, STAR QUARTERBACK.

THE COWBOYS COULD BE IN POSITION TO HAVE THREE.

THAT’S TODAY’S ROD PEDERSEN COMMENTARY ON CAT COUNTRY 98.
