I'm still having trouble fathoming that we have fans who would rather their team not appear in the Super Bowl than lose in it. Getting to Super Bowls is an accomplishment all by itself, whether you win or lose.
Do we seriously have fans who would have preferred that we didn't make Super Bowl V because we lost to the Colts or X and XIII just because Pittsburgh beat us?
This kind of self defeated questions are something you'd see on a Detroit Lions blog, or Cleveland Browns blog. It's a shame that the Dallas Cowboys are getting into moral victory type scenarios but here we are:
The way I read the question, it wasn't necessarily would you prefer the Cowboys not go to the Super Bowl over losing in the CG. Just getting to the game and all that would come with it would be a lifetime experience win or lose.
But if given the option to lose the big game or lose the game preceding it, which one is easier to move on from or accept. Too me it would easily be the NFCCG just because winning or losing the NFCCG isn't our ultimate goal. I think if the Cowboys made it to a Super Bowl after 25 years of a feeling of hopelessness, it would be a really bad L to take. I mean who are we to say it won't be another 25 years until you get there?
You get to the Super Bowl, you really need to win that game is all I'm saying.
