All 8 of the Cowboys SB teams won their season finale

[KJJ]

No true, my mistake and while I agree it is the most important position that does not mean the pick was justified. I think that is why we see some teams constantly picking at the top of the draft they are foolish with their picks. You need talent to win, QB is important but no QB can win alone and to pass over legit studs because of the letter QB in front of the name is just not smart no matter how important that position may be.

A lot of times the pick isn't justified it's based on desperation due to a severe need at QB.

There's plenty of superstitious fans.

Yes and some not so smart fans because any fool who would look at only 1 team out of 32, then pick games played in the 70's as part of the equation is really reaching. lol

A better example would be take the last 10 to 15 SB winners or teams who made the SB and see what they did in their last game of the season

You can gage a lot more looking at your own franchises history than what's happened with other teams.

There's plenty of superstitious fans. They jump at every little thing that appears to be a pattern.

You mean like somebody who thinks breaking a 'win the season finale, get to the Super Bowl!' streak or something? A superstition like that?

Huh..say again? Nothing superstitious about wanting to go into the playoffs on a positive note with momentum.

True it is desperation and not a reason to reach for a player regardless of the position they play. That is why when Dallas took Zeke at 4 overall I was not upset because I knew the kid was a stud and could help this team. Yes I wanted a QB but sure as hell did not want to see Dallas give up picks like Philly did to get Wentz. Then the kicker is hearing people say well Wentz does not have the talent around him as Dak did? well of course not they gave up their picks to get him when other talent was needed just as badly

It just shows how important it is to have a solid QB. It forces teams to reach.

They lost their first game of the season, and then went on to win the next eleven.

Following the Philly loss, I'll settle for three.

You can if it is relevant comparing the teams of the 1970's to a team in 2016 is not. Again totally different team, different management, different coaches different everything. The only common is a star on the helmet. When you mentioned Buffalo and the SB that was pretty much the same team, players, coaches and management. After losing a couple of SB I think even Buffalo was waiting for the shoe to drop because as a team they all experienced this. On this Cowboys team they know little about Coach Landry or his teams in the 70's other than what they have read or seen on old footage and honestly same goes for the 90's team where some of these guys were not even born so there is not relevancy

It's an interesting trivia question but if we lose it won't be because we lost our last meaningless regular season game, just as if had we won that last game doesn't automatically mean we would have gone to the Super Bowl either, but we might have hurt our changes playing to win by suffering more injuries.

There's no flaws in my argument, some of you are creating arguments because you're giving your own take on my comments. If you don't know what certain things mean, that's your problem. You're just looking to waste my time. Go educate yourself on what "pretty large" means, then come back to me.

Sadly kid "pretty large" doesn't mean jack when it comes to real statistics. Looking over our conversation, it is pretty clear who among us needs to "educate" themselves. Just so you know you, you are not presenting anything. All you have is some cherry picked data, with a ridiculously small sample size. You are presenting this in some sort qualitative manner (to be kind) and are hostile to anyone that dares criticize your logic. If it wasn't for that massive chip on your shoulder you would probably see that.

Don't worry son, when you get older you will look back yourself and cringe at just how stupid you were being. Likely in most aspects of your life. Until then, Go Cowboys. And I do mean that in a "pretty large" way.

Are you just playing dumb here? In the OP you bring up the fact all 8 Dallas SB teams won their season finale. If Dallas makes the SB this year, this means the streak is broken. But that wasn't your point, was it? Your point is that somehow Dallas JEOPARDIZED it's SB chances or something by not winning that game on Sunday.

It just shows me how reaching in a draft will burn you. Go for the talent if a team sole focus is QB then shame on them

 

[Bleu Star]

I'd be more concerned about situations where the season finale actually had meaning (Cowboys or otherwise, as the above poster says)

This.......

Take the personal shots elsewhere and get back to your homework before you get grounded.

This.......

Just look at the 1st 2 Super Bowl teams of the '90's.

In 1992 they had the division title already, but were still in contention for the #1 seed. Jimmy pulled most of the starters with over 11 minutes left to play in the 3rd quarter. That was a close game where we only led 3-0 up until that Emmitt Smith TD run made it 10-0.

In 1993, we got the EPIC OT game with the Giants to decide the division title where Emmitt played most of the game with the separated shoulder.
Saying Jimmy 'jeopardized' the SB run by pulling the starters in the 3rd of the '92 game because they needed to absolutely assure the momentum of a win going into the playoffs seems dicey at best.

None of those teams had the #1 seed AND the division title locked up with 2 games left to play on the regular season schedule. This year's team did.

The streak could very well be broken this season, never said it couldn't. They didn't need to win on Sunday but they didn't need to mail in the game. The Giants lost their season finale in 07 to the Pats but played hard and even in losing, it gave them confidence they could beat NE. I believe in playing to win and not mailing in games with a 3rd string scrub QB. It's our approach to that game that could jeopardize how we perform in the playoffs. Our starters should have played a half and Romo the entire 3rd quarter.

Did Jimmy Johnson suddenly decided to start 'mailing it in' and jeopardize that 1992 Super Bowl run by pulling the starters up only 10-0 with 11 minutes left to play in the 3rd quarter?

Do you agree with what he did?

We were up by 10 points and that 92 team had amazing depth. Our backups could have started for a number of teams. Leon Lett was a backup in 92. Jimmy would have never put his 3rd string QB on the field who's best known for a butt fumble so the game could be thrown away. I agree with what he did because we were looking sharp and continued to play well with our backups. We won 27-14.

 

[DejectedFan1996]

We also were the first cowboys team to be 8-0 on the road and not make it to the SB.
