Monday morning SB hangover

[Ranched]

Cowboy fans if we woke up this morning realizing that we had gone all the way to the SB AND LOST
My answers to those questions are No, No, Yes, Yes, Yes, No. Why? Because we're Cowboy fans not Rams fans

Congrats to the GOAT QB and HC. At least we could say we lost to the best I suppose. Cold, hard compromise!

LOL. Lost? Have you forgotten the COWBOYS are in the NFCE? They would of won. And to top it off, Dak & Zeke wouldn't of choked like Goff & Gurley Girly.

I was 12 when the Cowboys played in their first SB which was SB V. They lost in a 16-13 heartbreaker. They lost SB X and XIII to the Steelers in close games. Sure it was painful. But they also won SB VI and also won SB XII.

Bottom line- we played in 5 SBs in the 70s, winning two, losing three. And sure the losses hurt. But as a lifelong Cowboys fan, the last 23 years of ZERO SBs hurt a lot more than actually losing a SB!

Our Cowboys could have beat the Patriots last night. The Rams played horrible. They played their Super Bowl performance against us.

Game was bad.

Commercials we average.

Wasted 4 hours yesterday.

Take away the Game of Thrones ad and the commercials were well below average.

Understanding for sure. What hurt even more than actually losing a SB for me, is seeing Wentz having a ring without ever playing in postseason.

Remember, him & Dak were drafted in the same year. More reason we need to go and win it all so Dak can have the real bragging rights.

No we wouldn’t have. We would have been outcoached and lost. We got outcoached against the rams. And that was against a 32 year old HC who got totally outcoached by the best HC in NFL history yesterday. You think Garrett would have outschemed Belichick?

Yes they did.
They lost because they should of never been it to start with. Karma was there watching lol. Brees would have shredded the PATS D.

Come on, BH. Goff missed 3 wide open WRs who could have scored TDs or gotten it inside FG range. Goff choked the whole game from start to finish. He had that 'deer in the headlights' look. Sure, some credit goes to the Patriots and Belicheck, but the Rams Offense simply didn't show up in large part due to Goff choking. No way in Hades would Dak and Zeke had choked. They would have shown up.

I agree that at least it would've been a fight from our Boys.

I wonder how we would feel as Cowboy fans if we woke up this morning realizing that we had gone all the way to the SB AND LOST

Placated?

Satisfied?

Demanding a new HC/OC who could make adjustments in game?

Demanding a new QB who was accurate?

Demanding a new RB who would do anything to win?

Would we say to ourselves "at least we made it this far"?

My answers to those questions are No, No, Yes, Yes, Yes, No. Why? Because we're Cowboy fans not Rams fans

Congrats to the GOAT QB and HC. At least we could say we lost to the best I suppose. Cold, hard compromise!

We would have put up more than 3 points and gotten to brady more with our D-Line.

Losing the Super Bowl would have been a huge downer, but we would have still been NFC Champions, which is more success than this team has had in decades.

I don't know about that. The team that got beat by the SB winners is the team that trounced us. Our coaches would have invented new and exciting ways to torpedo that game had they been coaching.

Are you serious? Tons of people in here are happy and satisfied with winning one wildcard playoff game.

True. He did have the deer in headlights look and blew several throws. But that happened for a reason- the pats defense had an excellent game plan. Did you notice how their safeties played? Did you notice how often their LBs blitzed? They used exotic packages to harass and confuse Goff. And Goff didn’t choke in a vacuum. The pats defense was mostly responsible.

LMAO, it has been so long since the Cowboys even sniffed around a SB, none of us would know how we would feel losing it.

Our mindset is a little warped when history is applied. 20 winning seasons in a row, 8 trips and 5 wins is ancient history yet some still hold onto that "SB or bust" mentality.

The most difficult move many fans have to make is to the "new Cowboys" from what was a once proud franchise that the playoffs were home to and it was seldom a case of will they be in them but how far will they go. We had more of a right to our expectations back then because we were spoiled. Now? How in the hell could any Cowboys fan feel anything but elation at extending the season, if but for one game?

If that had been the Cowboys yesterday, I would be disappointed but satisfied with the season. Only 2 teams get to the NFCCG and we haven't been 1 of them in 23 seasons so I struggle to understand the "SB or bust" mentality as a Cowboys fan. We haven't won a divisional game in so long, how in the hell can we even relate to the SB hangover?

JG could have coached the game of his life and not even sniffed being good enough. The players would have to win that game.

Count me in that group, my season was extended by 2 games and 24 other teams didn't get that.

This fanbase has become full of cowards, much like our owner.

I remember a time when no one was afraid of losing, or what the consequences of it might feel like.

We were once Sparta. Now we're about 50 - 60% bronies.

 

[blueblood70]

being one of the last two standing is nothing to be ashamed of, losing to NE also is not..its happened to many many..
