...Is that in my 25 years of life I have never seen them go to a conference championship game. Isn't that insane? For all the younger Cowboys fans out there, does that infuriate you as well? That's so pathetic, and with the hole we are in now it makes it even more frustrating to know that we're going to have to go through yet another rebuild.

Don't worry, this team is loaded with talent. I've read Jerry and even Zeke say it.

Superbowl bound next year!!!!

It blows my mind thinking that even during the Romo years in his prime, we never once made it to the conference championship game.

Hey man. Hope you see it. It's weird when I happen to encounter younger Boys fans. My brother and all of my Philly Cowboys crew have seen all of the Superbowl wins (yes we're old. LOL) and I can't imagine haven't seen one of the winningest franchises experience so little recent success. As a Cards fan, I certainly know misery and would give an eyetooth for one of you guys chips. Keep your head up fam and stay on the wagon!

For a brand as big as we are it is incredible you have never seen it.

I wasn't even a teenager in 95 and so I barely remember what it was like.

It hurts to be like this for this long and our team is held hostage by a billionaires ego.

Imagine me... 42 years... that loved the "winning" Cowboys and has seen how gradually this franchise has become the excellence OF MEDIOCRITY

I was 9 when we beat the Broncos in SB 12, we didn’t win again until SB 27...I thought that was a lifetime...I feel bad for fans that haven’t experienced a championship...

Just keep saying to yourself; it is better to have never had than to have had and then lose forever.

I think the game that hit me the hardest was in 2008 when we went 13-3 and then lost to the Giants in the first playoff game, yet again missing the conference championship. When it happened again in 2016 I couldn't believe it.

All the playoff losses hurt..

When Favre ripped us a new one.. That one hurt but 14 and 16 were really bad and now McCarthy is screwing the Cowboys over again.

Same here. I became a fan of the Cowboys in 1999. Never saw the dynasty, have never seen them win a road playoff game or advance beyond the divisional round.

Yup, this one was the worst. With homefield advantage against the Packers had Dallas beaten the Giants, this was arguably the closest the Cowboys have ever been to a Super Bowl since the '90s, making the loss hurt all the more. (Although I don't believe Dallas would have beaten the unbeaten Patriots, had it come to that.)

I feel for you guys. I really do. I am in my real late 40s so I can remember the Landry days and Jimmy era. Just a great time to be a fan. I can’t tell you how far this franchise has fallen. Sorry to all you young fans that don’t have those memories and only know frustration.
