Yes..

I want to win Superbowls..Can’t just think short term.. Especially with a top 3 pick in hand.

Our future teams suffered from this.. Hopefully we at least go to the playoffs after destroying our draft.

That's why teams that always have such high draft picks, like the Jets, Jags, Lions, Bengals, Dolphins... are always winning the Super Bowl. Because of their high draft picks.

I was on team tank until we won a few weeks ago. After blowing the chance to get either Lawrence, Sewell, or Parsons, there's really no other "impact player" in this draft for us. Time to enjoy the ride.

The Cowboys have won 3 straight and have destroyed their draft pick..

Might as well hope for the best at this point. Dalton dimes was just too good to not get similar results to what we were getting before for us to ever just fall off.

Hopefully we beat NYG next week and somehow the Eagles decide to show up against Washington..

I don’t see this team doing anything in the post season.. I think we hurt our future teams quite a bit by not having that pic.

But what’s done is done..

The worst possible outcome is to have won 4 games in a row and lose our premium pick and not make the playoffs.

We have our starting QB for next season so tanking is irrelevant.
He wears # 14 and doesn't cost 40 million a year and will enable us to improve our defense!

If Dallas was beating good teams,I would have to agree with you, but the fact of the matter is that we are just beating the same crap teams we beat with Dakota at Qb

These wins haven’t proved a single thing other than proving that we don’t need to pay Rayne 35-40 million a year to beat pathetic teams....we can do it with a 3 million dollar Qb just as easily

To say these wins don't prove anything is false. It proves that the team is not full of quitters, like the fan base.

So happy you’re miserable over a Cowboys win. You’re on the Losers team.

You and I actually agree on the whole tank thing. It’s dumb mainly because of two things. 1)losing on purpose is grounds to lose your sports card. 2) We draft so horrible there’s no difference between 4-20. Where we disagree is you don’t have to be such a douchebag to people about it. More people would hear you.

The last 4 wins are over teams with a combined record of 20-38. The only thing these wins prove is that they can beat crap teams but still can’t compete with good teams.

No fan base is more delusional and more content with mediocrity than Cowboys fans.

Worst outcome is to be the playoff team with the worst record in hisotry and get curb stomped in the playoffs. That's a stain on the franchise that will never wash off.

This is good. Because this will give us clear evidence of whether our habit of signing veteran backup quarterbacks is really a good idea. If we make a deep playoff run, then yes. If we make the playoffs and get beaten badly, then tanking is the best idea.

I think our future teams would suffer more by sending the message that giving up is acceptable.

....but not as pungent as the smegma stain of scoring just 9 points against the Eagles in a potential division clinching game last year.......just 3 measly field goals the entire game. Nothing tops that

Also, we'll find out if our streak is really a matter of improvement or easy scheduling and injured opposing quarterbacks.

There is no defense in the world that is going to get Andy Dalton to a Super Bowl championship.

I out this on the post game thread...I’m going to make an early statement based on this new coaching staff. I don’t want to hear a thing about tanking. If we tank then the same people are ALSO complaining that our new 1st yr coach sucks. You can’t have it both ways. I’d much rather still have a top 15 pick and show that the team has momentum. Today showed some fire and things that can be if they play up

This is what makes me laugh. You get these guys that are in the corner cheering for the team to actively lose, yet when things go south on the field, they're the same ones throwing players and coaches under the bus about sucking. Wait, weren't you just wanting them to lose? I get so confused.

:laugh:

Spot on post. 2 outcomes possible.
In one, Washington wins and Dallas accomplishes absolutely nothing to include a weak draft spot.
In two, Washington loses, Dallas wins and does its standard one and done playoff performance with an even worse draft spot.

Either way, this team is incapable of winning a Super Bowl so whichever outcome occurs changes nothing.

I could care less if you use the term tank as to imply intentionally losing or just to lose out while still trying.

My opinion still remains the higher the pick, the better possible future team success if the right higher ranked players are chosen.

Regardless if Team Jones are doing the picking.

At the very least, the opportunity to choose a higher ranked player will be available.

That scenario is better for future team success than empty wins and lower ranked picks.

They did nothing to hurt their draft pick. These wins go a lot further than draft slots.[/QUOT. I just can’t comprehend the tank. Process. people live their lives failing to get ahead When in reality it’s just a myth they think they getting ahead

Why isn't 3 FG awesome when the outcome results on which team wins the division?
Dak is great man.... pay the man NOW!!!
50 million simply isn't enough for such a supporter of FG kickers!!!
