If You Could Lock in All These Cowboy Treasures

[T-RO]

Thought experiment for you:

If you could guarantee lock-in the following for the 2021 season:

• 15-2 Cowboys record
• Dak MVP
• Parsons Rookie of the Year
• Diggs DPOY
• A dominant divisional playoff win
• A spectacular NFC championship game win
• Super Bowl appearance where game is entertaining and well-played

You could lock in all this...but that 'package' required locking in:
...........Cowboys lose Super Bowl game by last second field goal to say...the Chargers...

Would you take that package deal...and lock it in right now?

I would.

 

[Robbieac]

No.

I would rather roll the dice and have a chance to actually win the SuperBowl.

That’s the REASON they play the game!

A charger fan got in first, already locked in a Super Bowl win, but had to sell a kidney.

Not if we make it that far and lose….No way Jose

Having said all of that, I get the feeling people aren’t enjoying the journey so far. They are ready to fast forward to January. I get that. But it’s been sooooo long when since we’ve played this well I’m enjoying every second. As stressful as that can be!

Absolutely not.

This team once had high standards and I hope we start getting used to those standards again because your post is a joke. No offense OP…

 

[VaqueroTD]

Nope. Super Bowl or bust baby.

 

[cowboyec]

no.
i want it all.

No way. For me that would be soul crushing. Having all those individual records and awards and lose the super bowl would be devastating. Especially a last second field goal. I would take the exact opposite. No personal records for the guys and a super bowl win.

Do it NYFG style. Come out of nowhere, win it all. Twice.

no question" they" say you have to get there and understand the intensity level then come back or something like that

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

To heck with all those individual awards.

If I'm going on a playoff run I want to go all the way. I told Suzie Marie that same thing when I was 15 in the hay barn. I'm consistent.

 

[Cowboyz88]

I’ve said it before that no loss haunts an NFL fan mode than a Super Bowl loss.

It’s why I will always hate the Steelers (we still owe them one more).

If you’re gonna get there, you better win it all or take it to your grave, because losing a SB sucks and the memory never goes away.

You bring up a good point. After the Bucs lost I was obviously salty. Then we beat the Chargers and I was happy for the win but pessimistic about the season. That Eagles game changed the season for me. And specifically 2 plays. The Diggs pick 6 and the Osa sack at the end of the first half. Since the Eagles game I have enjoyed the journey. I've enjoyed this season. More so than I did in 2016 and 2014. On 2014 and 2016 I felt we had fool's gold. This year I believe it's real gold. I'm enjoying the journey and I pray I get to enjoy the whole journey all the way to the championship.

Yes!! Exactly. Man that'd be sweet

 

[JoeKing]

Yeah... no I think this team can do better. Maybe not the 15-2 record but the rest of it is doable.

No offense taken.

 

[T-RO]

I’ve said it before that no loss haunts an NFL fan mode than a Super Bowl loss.

I understand that sentiment. Right at the precipice. But let's keep it real...you are only 50-50 odds even if you get all the way to the Super Bowl. A flip of the coin.

 

[CATCH17]

No offense taken.

I should’ve said posts like yours become a joke because the standard becomes the same as it used to be.

Of course not.

You'd have to change MVP.
