I feel like I've been tricked, I thought this team was different, special...I've been bleeding blue and silver since 94, just more of the same. This one hurt almost as much as losing to the 49ers my first year as a fan. Just had to vent a little, thanks if you read this all the way through and as always go Cowboys, I just can't quit this team.

I believe this team was special this season. This was the beginning, not the end. We need to add more pieces and have the luck of health, but these young guys know how to win and yesterday was a valuable lesson that will benefit them and us in the very near future.

One would think that this young team has promise and the future looks really bright. However too many of the old cogs are still involved to believe it will be any different, ie. Jerry and JG, etc. How you squander another 1st seed is beyond me. 2-8 in playoff games in the past 21 years, and 0-5 in the divisional round folks!!!

You were tricked by all the FANS on the board. Anyone who bought in to them was expecting an easy win by the Cowboys yesterday. They were so convinced of a Cowboys win they were already looking ahead to our opponent in the NFC title game.

This is partially accurate. A lot of people bought into the special angle and figured destiny was involved. People even started talking themselves into the concept that this was a winning defense late in the season.

review the 1991 Cowboys, and their loss to Detroit and the 1992 off season just before the first Super Bowl. What did they do?

They added Charles Haley. Who, I might add, had six sacks that year and four the next. But his leadership made a huge difference.

Wait, there will be a Charles Haley type available in trade again? Well I'll be.

The loss feels different for me mainly because it's a QB driven league and Dak played the best playoff game by a rookie in history...possibly the best playoff game by a QB for this team since Aikman.

No disrespect towards Romo, I love the guy, but he had the added pressure of the national media labeling him a choker after the dropped kick and game ending interceptions.

Dak wont have that after this game. His two touchdown passes in the fourth were clutch and he left the field after putting his team in position to tie the game with 30 seconds left. Not a fan in the world can watch his performance in the 4th and call him a choker. We have a QB that will enter next season with unfinished business on his mind and he will be our QB for the best decade at least.

It sunk in with me after we mailed in the season finale that there wasn't anything special or different about this team, especially blowing an opportunity at a franchise record 14 wins. Any team that's special and is on a mission doesn't mail in games regardless if they're meaningless.

Exactly. We will have to find a few other pieces. If Smith plays and is anywhere near his old self this coming year, it will help tremendously. We also have to do something about the pass rush, and if we can do those things, along with some help in the secondary we will be right back in the 1st seed next year, or very close to it.

This feels all too familiar.

Penalty killing drives. Lethargic start. Good QB play. Mistakes. Loss.

Maybe the next 10 year run will end differently, but its feeling all too familiar.

Honestly, I'm already pretty much over it. It's disappointing, but the future is so bright with this team, I'm not going to beat myself up over this loss.

At this point, I'm looking forward to seeing our guys play one last time in the probowl, then I'm moving onto draft.
