See, to me if the NFL was truly rigged they would make sure the Cowboys are competitive every year and in the SB more often because it is OBVIOUS we drive in numbers. Like if the SB this year was New England and Dallas the ratings would be INSANE

I don't think it works that way. The NFL still eats without the Cowboys being in the Superbowl because they get their money during the regular season no matter what the record is.

So one of the most watched games. America got more proof how the refs favor GB when they screwed the Browns. Blatantly with the non call ref looking right at the WR jersey being stretched out a mile.
OK then.

That’s what I think too. Having us make the SB is the best for them.

Not repeatedly it isn't.. People got sick of the Cowboys and 49ers in the early 90's because it seemed like only two teams had a realistic shot at the title. People get bored with dynasties.. If the Cowboys were to win three championships in a row I guarantee you ratings would drop because people who hate the Cowboys would all commit suicide.. The league needs the Cowboys in the mix.. but they don't need them to be at the top of the heap..

The Cowboys are better off as the betting swing team. What if we drive more revenue through gamblers than TV ratings?

Not surprising. We are America’s Team. Either you tune in to watch them win or root for them to lose, but you’re still tuning in.

The first time I looked at the list, I thought "Why the heck is Lions/Bears game on the list?". Then I realized it was Thanksgiving game.

Plus, all of those Cowboys games are losses other than the Chargers game.
Cowboys fans will watch either way, but other fans enjoy watching us lose. I would imagine ratings go down if we win too much

nfl will always want the biggest ratings they can get. Bigger the rating the more of everything they can sell. Theres a reason we are the featured team each week instead of weaker markets like GB,KC, Tenn who seeded higher all year.
NFL would love us in SB-on the other hand they would hate to have to market a Cin-Philly SB.

Would they / do they want us in the SB?
Seems they been trying to keep us out of advancing for years.

I dont see how numbers go up in the SB no matter who plys. Its a national holiday and everyone has SB parties and watches the game, no matter who plays.

While that it true the NFL does not directly financially benefit from the ratings. The contracts are negotiated and they get their money regardless of the ratings.

However, there is no good reason that the NFL would try and purposely keep the Cowboys down and out of the NFCCG for 25 years. The Cowboys have done that all to themselves.
