To say the 2024 Dallas Cowboys have been a disappointment would be an understatement.

The team entered the year coming off a playoff appearance a season ago with high expectations but has slumped to a 3-6 start and is seeing dreams of a return to the postseason fade away. Starting quarterback Dak Prescott is out for the season with a hamstring injury, players are griping about the layout of the stadium and the resulting sun glare during late-afternoon games, and Michael Irvin is apparently in Jerry Jones’ ear about hiring Deion Sanders this offseason.

But still, these are the Cowboys, and they draw attention. This means Mike McCarthy and company will be in action on Monday Night Football to close out Week 11, as Dallas hosts C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans.

During a promo for that game on Saturday’s installment of College GameDay Kirk Herbstreit — who was on the call for one of the Cowboys’ three wins this year back in Week 3 — let his feelings be known about the situation in Dallas, which he described as a “train wreck:”

The Cowboys have lost four straight games and many NFL fans are tired of seeing them in island games.

It seems Herbstreit shares that opinion.
