Seattle swansong?

IRVING - It all seemed so promising three weeks ago.
But that was before the defense went south and Tony Romo lost his magic touch.
Could it all come to an end in Seattle? That one's a toss-up, although I don't like the Cowboys chances if the defense doesn't right itself.
Given the state of that much-maligned unit, it wouldn't surprise me if Jerry Jones says goodbye to Mike Zimmer at the end of this season.
Jones said the defense's performance was "pitiful" Monday night. That's a reflection of Zimmer, who seemed to be much more comfortable coaching the 4-3.
But let's not forget that Zimmer worked wonders with less talent in 2003. He'll probably take the fall, but what's a coordinator to do when he's got no pass rush, safeties that can't cover and a roster dotted with underachievers?
