News: Cowboys most likely to miss the Playoffs this year

[Whirlwin]

How about 2007? they didn't crap the bed while another division team goes on to win the Super Bowl? They should be proud.

If I can only remember what happened that season LOL

 

[Whirlwin]

If it mattered that much in that season, then by any rational logic, it should have been reflected in their records WITH the player and WITHOUT the player.

But it didn't. The team was basically the same team with Elliott as they were without him. Same basic record. There was way more at play in that 2017 than just losing Elliott. Prescott was inconsistent all year. The defense was woefully bad at times.

Again, if we were 8-2 with Elliott and 1-5 without him, you'd have a better case. But we were essentially .500 with him and .500 without him......... which tells you there was way more at play that season than just not having him.

If I remember correctly we had that clown at left tackle for a while also. LOL when you've been paying attention to this franchise as long as some of us have things get cross-referenced LOL

If they do, it will not be Dak's fault, "it's everybody else's fault".

Who said failure? I don't think I ever used that word. I simply said the two seasons you cited as "runner up" seasons as if they were successful seasons and worthy of praise (like the 3 seasons we won the division), were in fact, not successful largely because it's hard to argue that missing the playoffs and finishing 9th in the conference is "successful".

They simply weren't successful seasons. Average is what both those seasons were. Maybe "average" is good enough for you, I don't know.

So now you don't follow well, I said runner up in the division . they had 1 8-8 season when they finished 2nd. And yes I call the average too, I 'm not thrilled with 8-8, but I see it as success when you consider the retool/rebuild from the salary cap hell and talent overhaul the team was going through at the time. Again, you struggle with the grey.

And yet you lobbed "runner up" seasons in with the three years we won the division to try to argue that Garrett/Cowboys really have had 5 good years out of 8. That was your clear intent in the context of this discussion......... that finishing runner up in the division two years (years we didn't even make the post season) were still good years.

I don't know about you but a season can't be both "average" but also successful. An average season is what it is. Average. Middle of the pack. Middling. Blah. Not great (successful) and not terrible (failure). Just "ehh".

No, they don't include 3 8-8 They had 1, hence me saying 5-8 seasons as runner up in the division. Try to keep son

I gave you a like because of the content in your post. I agree. But not including your comment to the other guy LOL

It’s all about how your brain is wired. Your’s is wired to always look at the negative side of everything. You’re not able to see the positives or just disregard them in favor of the negative which is what you focus on. You’re biologically tuned to the negative.

they did a College Study last season. Everyone in the stadium was positive. Every time that happened the team won when they told everyone to be negative the team actually lost I think it was a four-game study and I forgot what college but I read it

Where did I say that three 8-8 seasons were included? The two runner up seasons were 9-7 and 8-8. I clearly pointed this out pages ago.

Once their brains become wired that way over time, there’s no going back. They can’t stop from being negative and will say anything to justify their misery. I feel sorry for them. Many of them become that way because of how they were brought up.

This again is more drivel from you but the first cogent thought that pops out of your head onto this board would likely be the first.

If something is truly positive, I'll point it out and acknowledge it. LVE having a fantastic rookie year? I've acknowledged it and have said we probably have one of the best sets of LBs in the NFL for 2019. But you often miss those posts because you entire lame existence here is to just seek out posters and posts that you think are too negative and then whine and complain like a 5 year old htat people are being too mean or too negative.

If put to a vote on this board, I have little doubt you'd win the award for screwiest wired brain. You've picked fights with so many posters it's almost comical at this point.

Oh so now it's an upbringing thing? LOL.

Just like I said you’ll do and say anything to justify your hate including just attacking. The reason you get so much flak is that you are always negative about everything. Man up and admit it.

My "hate".

That word is a dead give away you are dealing with a Cowboys fan who is a grown child and often doesn't have the mental capacity to have real discussions here and deal with facts and evidence.

You've long outed yourself as one of those guys. A fanboi who rarely offers cogent, smart insights into the team, rather just spends his time here bouncing from thread to thread whining and complaining about posters and what they post.

You should be embarrassed but you also lack self awareness. You pretty much check every box for an internet message board failure.

 

[Dre11]

Where did I say that three 8-8 seasons were included? The two runner up seasons were 9-7 and 8-8. I clearly pointed this out pages ago.

So you now don't count a 9-7 season any level of success? ...lol With your logic I can concede the 8-8.

 

[Sydla]

So you now don't count a 9-7 season success?...lol

Not when you don't make the playoffs and finish 9th in the 16 team conference. I mean I understand where you are coming from. You are one of the biggest Garrett apologists here, so you have to view seasons like 2013 and 2017 as "successes" because when you start to stack up Garrett's resume, it looks pretty light if you only include three playoff years out of 8. But if you can try to argue 2013 and 2017 were "successful" you think it can make Garrett's resume look better. Most won't fall for it but at least you seem pleased with that analysis.

And answer my question. Where did I include three 8-8 seasons in the total? Or did you misread my post and can't admit your mistake?

You're right you didn't say 8-8 I assumed it because I had no freaking idea that in your world 9-7 doesn't count as a successful season....lol
