You mean like we reach a point where there is nothing left but to go down? And we devolve.
As for the comet, it wouldn't be that fast. The meteorite hit Earth, killed dinosaurs nearby (That is relative to the size of the impact). The rest, unfortunately, had a worse way to go.
The ash in the sky blocked out the sun, causing many to freeze to death. Eventually, much of the plant life died and caused the herbivores to starve to death. Due to that, the food chain was pretty much ripped to shreds and the carnivores didn't last too long.
But one thing that always interested me about that, was that why did so much of the sea die out? Sharks lived. Why so few others? Surely the factors that killed the other creatures would have only a minute effect on them. And Crocodiles. They lived, and most live in rivers, eating land animals. When they died, why didn't the crocodiles starve?
