It's funny that some of you think comparing us to some of the worst run franchises in the league somehow justifies what a great job Jerry is doing. Hahahaha.

And for the record, over the same 25 year period the Jets have won 7 playoff games to our 4. The Vikings have 8 playoff wins to our 4.

At least the Lions have zero playoff wins and the Skins only 2 playoff wins over that time period. So we got those two joke franchises beat!

What's funny is its not a comparison.
Its a statement of fact.
You could look it up and post the same info.

Retreads and first timers are all there are. Those are the only two choices. How many coaches have brought more than one team to the SB? How many have even brought one team to multiple SBs? Jerry definitely wants to make more decisions than he should, and that makes it harder to find a coach who can succeed while making room for Jerry, but he seems to be giving up some of his control the past few years, and maybe Mike can be the guy who gets to lead this team to #6...or more.

But hey, if you wanna be negative and expect the worst, that's your prerogative. Have fun.

Expecting the worst keeps it real and is more fun than being disappointed all the time; who do you think will have more fun this season- you, when they underachieve AGAIN for 26 years in a row...or me when I sit back and laugh and say thank you, Jerry, if nothing else you are consistent...it’s pretty pathetic for both of
us isn’t it :)

And what's Jimmy done with a team since then?

if that’s the best you got...lol... As for that bum Jimmy, all he did is get in to the Hall of Fame... So did Jerry but Jimmy got in for his football accomplishments- Jerry got in for his marketing and Circus Ringmaster skills and he deserved it...sadly for us,

If they do in fact underachieve, I think I'll have more fun hoping they'll win, and be more disappointed on game days when they lose. But I think you'll be missing out on the fun of hoping they win, yet I don't think you'll really be much less disappointed than I am when they lose.

Actually, with low expectations it makes it sweeter when they do win and less disappointing when they lose...wish I had figured that out 22 years ago !

What's Jimmy's induction done for us Cowboys fans? Did it get us more wins? Do you think he would've gotten in if Jerry had never hired him? If you're gonna give Kraft credit....

I doubt that's true, since you were looking forward to laughing at Jerry. That's gotta add an element of disappointment to the win.

Last time this team won anything they had pedigree at the QB position. Dak is too inconsistent to put this team on his back at crunch time. This team needs a polarizing leader in the locker room who can over come the dysfunction of this organization. Daks a bus driver and can't do it without everything being perfect. If you don't have pedigree your at a big disadvantage.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means. By the way this message board treats him, Dak is giving you that maybe more than any QB since Tebow

I bet they would like to have 3 'chips instead of... a few more playoff wins. Be something to remember at least.

I'm not trying to justify anything. Just wondering what their fans think while we grouse away.

Man you’re kind a twisted if you live on expecting the worst. You should always be expecting the best in life. If you settle for expecting the worst with the Cowboys, you’ll carry that over to the rest of your life. That’s how it works. Look at all the haters here who do nothing but hate 24x7.

I said I was less disappointed...Comprehension is your second language? Man, you Little Girls are so afraid of the fact Jerry has won you nothing in 25 years and will win you nothing for the next 25...but he does run an entertaining Circus. I’m sure things will get better when Jethro takes over...lol...

There's truth to this statement. After three consecutive 8-8 seasons I expected the Cowboys to absolutely suck in 2014. I remember what a nice surprise that season was.

In the last 25 years the Cowboys have had double digit wins 7 times. 4 times over 10 wins. And only 3 seasons where you could say Dallas was a serious contender. That's 12%.

Watch out..those Mean Girls are going to whine on you because you don’t believe in the Jerry Fairy and they don’t like facts...

Probably the same as we do. That our franchises have failed for a long time.

Hating on the Cowboys 24x7 like you and the rest of the haters do is microscopic look in to your lives. You can’t be such a constant hater about anything Cowboys and not be a constant negative Nancy I the rest of your life. Physchology 101.
I have been a realist for a long time. I don’t sugarcoat, make excuses or ignore problems that the team has. I make plenty of positive posts when the topic deserves it. As for my personal life, I am a realist as well. There is good and bad in everything. The difference between us is that I don’t ignore reality.
