And...

Love those uniforms hope they wear them
more often with the white pants . The helmets it all looks good . Maybe that’s the uniform they go with in the SB “ after owning the NFCE “ …..

The uniform near the top of this page with our QB firing a hopefully TD .

I get that. I’m up there too lol. However, I think my fear of the between Troy and Romo days is my problem.

Yeah..been there done that. I get it for sure. I am just getting shorter patience as I get older. That attitude shouldn't be unwarranted.

One of those teams missed the playoffs just like the Cowboys the other first round exit. 2026 is here.

So why are we talking about the past with Dak but I bring up the past w the teams Dak does so well against but those teams had better overall success during Dak's tenure. It's 2026 is here. I hate when people gaslight me.

Guys here go to work for less than their value if you let them tell it lol.

None of the guys here would run to a microphone, claim we don't work for money, and then behind the scenes maneuver to get every dime.

Just because you support, admire and embody hypocrisy...doesn't mean that the man next to you does. It's the whole point of the Biblical story of Job: Money only makes you more of what you are.

Dak uses the admiration for people who sacrifice and take less as a cover for getting every red penny. That's cool for a person who has no morals, values, ethics and/or can't do basic math.

Notable "Bad Defense" Playoff Teams

• 2011 Green Bay Packers: They finished the regular season with the worst-ranked total defense in NFL history (allowing an alarming 416.8 yards per game). Despite the leaky defense, Aaron Rodgers led them to a 15-1 regular-season record. [1]
• 2025/2026 Chicago Bears: Despite having a defense that ranked in the bottom third of the league in total yards and points allowed, they made the playoffs by leading the NFL in takeaways and creating a highly disruptive pass rush. [1, 2]
• 2025/2026 Los Angeles Rams: Often considered a roster with a "cheap" and low-investment pass defense, they relied heavily on scheme ingenuity (under defensive coordinator Chris Shula) and star power to offset the unit's low player-ratings. [1, 2]
• 2018 Kansas City Chiefs: Despite fielding a defense that ranked near the bottom of the league in points allowed, Patrick Mahomes' MVP offense carried them all the way to the AFC Championship Game.

The Packers clearly meet your criteria. The rest, I trust you will agree, show that having a poorly ranked defense isn't an automatic disqualifier. I think we can all agree that these teams had well above average QB play which helped overcome the hindrance.

*** I do not agree that the Rams should be on this list. They were part of the search results so I copied as is ***

And then there's the fact that sometimes good defenses have bad days. Guess what? You need your QB to compete, not choke.

Take the current champs. That defense is awesome, but Stafford always cooks them...because Duh...it's Stafford and not Stat Prescott. Anyway, they needed Sam Darnold to step up and compete - and he did! Now...if Sam Darnold lost do you know what would have been said? "He can't win the big one....two 14-win seasons in a row and can't do it when it counts."

If Sam Darnold lost he can't say, "Well, I'm a journeyman QB and the D has been good all year. They were supposed to hold them to under 20 so it's not my fault." Instead the man went toe-to-toe with Matt Stafford who has what many consider to be an all-time great arm. (Note I didn't say Stafford is an all-time great, just that many coaches praise his arm and often go out early to watch him practice and toss the rock).

Point is that Darnold could have argued that his D let him down and he's not supposed to beat Stafford. Instead he came through in the clutch and competed. Heck, even if they ultimately lost that game, given the way he played and competed with a first year team, he'd won my respect. And you know what? If I remember correctly, Stafford actually played a better game than Darnold...Darnold just played well enough to win. Which is whole point I was making to Gineric: You don't have be an all-time great to beat one.

And this is what i like!! Thanks for this. I honestly didn't know of any and you have educated me, good ****.

Its obvious that it isn't an easy thing for teams to do if these are the only teams in NFL history to do this. That was exactly my point though. Good stuff.

It's complimentary football. Both Giants SBs with Eli were both sides getting relatively hot when needed. Eli was clutch the entire postseasons...with road wins and then the SB. Both sides did their jobs. So when Dak throws soul-crushing INTs against SF in the playoffs when our D played really, really well despite Dak giving away short fields and points, Dak failed to play his part. In GB, when our D was weakened by our corners being hurt and key players being out, we didn't need Dak to throw a pick 6 and make it worse. He's got to compete like Sam Darnold did.

Case in point are the 2007 Patriots. Squad was great on both sides of the ball and lost. Why? Because the Giants played complimentary football. Eli didn't choke the game away and the D stayed close enough to beat Tom in the end. But in both SBs, Eli had to pay it off. It's not one bad decision by Dak that has doomed us, it's him playing uninspired football and making bad decisions for 2.5 quarters before he figures it out that kills us.

The problem with this statement is Dak does his fair share if not more, to helping us lose in the playoffs. If you are telling me we need a top 10 defense in order to squeak out a win then I'm telling you our QB is mediocre.

The 2 games against San Fransisco were there for the taking. The defense kept us in it. The offense led by Dak, let us down.

But your right, it's still on the jones for thinking Dak was the answer. Meanwhile, 10 years later, still in the land of mediocrity.

I'll never forgive Dak for those 2 losses to SF. First, we had a legit shot at winning it all both years. Second, it was SF. Actually reverse that...I hate SF that much.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Damn, this reminds of 1995 Greg Maddux and his nasty-filthy pitches.

Maddox was like a real estate agent: Location, location, location.

Dude threw 90 pitches in 2 hours and called it a day. All while looking like a Pep Boys service technician. As great as Ohtani is - and he's all-time great already - the fact that Maddox was not built like a truck and did it with location is crazy.

See, I don’t completely disagree with you. Can we do better at QB? Certainly yes. What I don’t understand is how can any player not named Murray, be held accountable when Jerry, yes the same Jerry everyone thinks is a moron, runs the show. Do I think Dak is capable enough? Yes so many QBs much worse than him have been to or won a Super Bowl. Will he be able to do it with Jerry in charge? Unlikely. If that sounds unreasonable to you, then I don’t know what else to say. And I’m not saying you have to agree with me. But if anyone here says that Dak is 50%, or even 25%, good, then they’ll get attacked for not saying he’s 0% good and you are a Pom Pom holder.

I hear you, but this is nihilistic. If you say we can't win with Jerry, you should absent yourself until his demise. Not only it nihilistic, it's not factually true. First, we did it already with Jimmy AND Switzer. And while we all know that was "Jimmy's team", it wasn't with Jimmy's staff. The PLAYERS can be changed. The COACHES can be changed.

Can Jerry get in the way of a good thing? Sure...but Jerry didn't cause Dak to choke, play conservative, tentative, directionless football in both SF games. Heck, almost every game against SF Dak looks that way! Stafford doesn't though. Sam Darnold doesn't either.

Seems very obvious to me that we mitigate the risk of Jerry with luck and a strong coach. A choking QB can not be negotiated...you will lose every time!

"Get your money Nico!!!"

BTW, I now have 2300 more likes than posts. How you doing?

 

[OGSixshooter]

Is this a self-portrait in your cheer uniform? You do know the team colors are blue and silver, right?

What's worse...knowing how many more likes I have - it's actually 1300 more - or YOU tracking down that post from days ago because it hurts that much? You are always "too busy" to do this when the topic is related to football. Hmmmm.....

I only started counting because you accused me of hunting likes. It was @stiletto who gave me the answer as to why: You post so much and yet are liked very little.

You don’t have to explain nothing to me. I’m just observing lol. If you want to count likes do your thing it’s a safe space.

I posted Wendy because she originated the “how you doing” thing you did.

I can root for the cowboys weather I think Jerry is capable or not. I don’t need your permission. The reason why I bring up about how bad Jerry is, is the fact that half the forum can’t stop blaming him for every single thing. I get it, he has way more failures than successes but even when he does something logical or good, anyone who points it out will be attacked. Stick to your narcissistic point and just own it. Don’t change the narrative just because you hate Dak. But under similar circumstances, you’ll defend other players, like Micah. What did he ever do for us? He disappeared at the end of every season and all the big games. But since you like him and picture him in a cheerleading uniform, you’re okay with it.

Dang the OP for putting this out there, so I now have to state the obvious.....

Hurts owns the NFCE.
Won a SB
QB in two SBs

Dak hasn't even played in a NFC Championship game.

Hurts against the Cowboys


Hurts is 5-4 with 1,879 passing yards, 10 TDs, and 5 INTs.

Kind of mid…
