Is anyone still pleased with the 6-0 win against the Iggles?

[Staubacher]

Was anyone really pleased with the win at that time other than Garrett?

Jerrah
Dak
Butler wanted a team celebration

If you think you are that precise I laugh at your arrogance

If you think that winning a game against mostly backs ups has a benefit to the next season, 9 months away, I laugh at your naivety.

And it's not about being precise. Picking 16th gives you a better chance, even if only slightly, to get a higher name on your draft board. It's almost impossible to argue otherwise. It's simply a math issue.

Depends on how you look at it. I'm in the middle. Some will point out the players that didn't pan out after we gave up other picks to move up. Then there are those who like to focus on the picks that did work out. I see both sides and both use hindsight.
I'm all for going after a stud.

Me too but neither of us are handing in the card during the draft. Both of us could identify The Guy and have the necessary negotiating skills to cement a trade with another team to get The Guy. Unfortunately neither one of us is Jerry Jones, who has the final say on drafting any guy--even though that guy may be the farthest thing from The Guy. Hindsight and foresight are relative and relevant things depending on who makes the actual real life decisions.

It is history

Moving up by a round is obviously different but not as much as people think

You said it yourself ...every pick is a gamble

To say you can differentiate between top16 and top19 is pure hubris and a waste of time

we got TFred and TWill because we moved back...... we lost a top pick to move up and get Mo Claiborne

So you have no actually facts to support your statement. Got it.

That's not saying much considering how bad the Giants were, how injured the skins were and the fact the Eagles played their backups against us in the season finale. But i guess it means against the rest of the NFL with some better teams we were 4-6!!!

Nice reality statement. Sure like a W against a rival, but also wouldn't have been disappointed with a better draft position.

Even if the difference isn't that significant, it can still matter. Again, it was widely reported that we wanted McKinley at DE.

If we were picking three spots higher we would have gotten him. Instead we had to take Charlton, who yes, we liked, but apparently didn't like as much as McKinley.

Players aren't fungible. They aren't the same. The scouting department likes some players more than others. They all have a pecking order. And if you pick 16th, you have a better chance (even if one believes it to be only a slightly better chance, it's still better) of getting a player higher ranked on your board than at 19.

Nice strawman...where did I say that....... quick retreat mode

Then why was winning the game better than losing the game, in terms of being "better" for the team?

where are yours to support your idea that 16 is always a better pick than 19?

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Not pleased with dropping from 16 to 19 in the draft.

I was rooting hard for a loss. Because I love the Cowboys.

Winning is better because it was the game that day.... we only get 16 a year

Only Mock Fans care about draft position over winning a real game against a rival

1/3 of the team won't even be here next year and you thin they should care about a couple spots of draft position

No one ever roots to lose to Philly

 

[landroverking]

Any win over any NFC East team is good.

I can do some research but in general was giving my opinion. You made claims that it was "history" matter of fact in nature and yet you haven't proved anything other than you also have an opinion.

Interesting read right here. I wasn't aware of it but, according to the research, he's right.

[Mad_max]

I got to be honest.

Thinking about that amazing 6-0 win against their backups has me so pumped I want to run through a wall.

Made of whip cream?

 

[OmerV]

The Iggs were playing fry cooks and peeps who couldn't get a job stocking the shelves at Walmart.....

and held the Dallas offense to 6 points.

But hey, they beat the NFC Champs!!!!! Hell yes, baby. Pop open the champagne and give Garrett a 20 year extension.

I don't think anybody was joyous over the win, as if it somehow made the frustration of a disappointing season all better, but I was still a lot happier watching a win than I would have been watching a loss.

But it's still a piece of the whole story. Picking 10 years and 2 draft spots doesn't convince me that it's this way across the board. If I'm even explaining that right.
Sounds like someone else read this article verbatim.

 

[Mad_max]

still pleased? I never was and wanted a better draft pick.

But, that did give Garrett a winning season and that saved his job and that makes me cry for happy.

Hey, the Vikings are a joke. They gave up 38 in the same stadium that the Cowboys kept them to 0, naught, nada, zilch, goobero. So, please, no more negative talk about this stellar defense. We be a shuttin' out, shuttin' down, shut my mouth D!

Is the medicine getting stronger old timer? Still having flashbacks to the early 90's.
