This year's team reminds of the 2014 team

The 2014 team went to the defending Super Bowl champions' house (would have been the eventual two-time defending champions if not for a bad call/Russell Wilson goal-line throw) in Week Six. The 2026 team has an opportunity to do the same thing in Week 13.

Maybe that will happen, but I will wait to see it happen. Until then, unless the team plays high-level, well-executed football beforehand, I will hold off saying this season's team is as good or better than that team.

I remember people saying the 2014 team would be lucky to win six games. They won six games by week seven and were a "Dez caught it" play away from the NFC Championship Game.

...yep, bad luck game for us. We kept it close too.

we have been cursed by such in way too many playoff games.
Starting with the Catch; though one could argue all the way back to the Ice Bowl and earlier; where just one or two plays doomed us

I can still here Aikman in the booth saying, "DeMarco Murray hits his head on the goalpost, Joe. There was nobody there. It's the biggest hole that I have seen."

No. Every team has their fair share of bad luck.

 

[Ironicalicon]

Just for fun, sure, why not?!



When you look at it:
Romo was 34, Dak is 33
Bruiser-type bell cow RBs
Elite talent on the outside
Recovering from a historically bad Defense!

There definitely are some parallels.

The softball has now been served up so which option is best?

1. Ignore it and risk a stroke?

2. Crush it out the park and risk suspension?

3. Post a picture of Madonna?

4. Utilize ambiguity with a witty yet subtle remark?

Funny how there's always some excuse as to why the Jerry Jones Cowboys always come up short.

Plus, I'm going to use the usual fall back on the Dez catch that I've read here a million times - "we still would have lost because the defense wouldn't have stopped Aaron Rodgers on the final drive."

All teams can have bad luck but 30 years is not bad luck its bad management.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I barely remember what last years team did

Ours just happened at a higher level

I know you're dying to do #2 or #4 on the list.

Didn't Rodgers have a calf injury? I remember saying we couldn't even beat Rodgers on one leg!!

Wasn't that the 2016 game?

 

[DallasEast]

...yep, bad luck game for us. We kept it close too.

Unfortunately, the entire game was not dictated by bad luck. The fumble was simply a result of poor ball protection that Julius Peppers took full advantage of.
