The lack of success the last 2 decades has nothing to do with this season.
It shows a consistent pattern since we won our last SB in 1995. Since that championship the Cowboys have only won 3 playoff games and haven't gotten past the second round of the playoffs and you think the 2016 team can surpass what we've been seeing the past two decades? What exactly do you see in this team in JUNE that makes you think it's going to be different this season? I'm not saying the Cowboys won't have a good team in 2016 but what did you see last season that tells you this team is on the brink of something special?
You're quoted as saying this team will be more like the 2014 team so what can you point to that makes you think that? Sounds like typical FAN talk to me because I don't see anything that makes me think this group is capable of a 12-4 season and doing better than one playoff win. It's going to be a real challenge to make the playoffs with Romo aging and missing games the past 3 seasons and not having our 2 starting DEs for the first 4 games. There's the potential for a rough start if we can't mount some resemblance of a pass rush and our defense struggles to get off the field.
We're in a two decade rut of not being able to get past the second round of the playoffs and you think 2016 will be different? Jerry has a system in place that has kept the Cowboys from reaching the playoffs consistently and from going deep when they do make the playoffs. Once Romo is done last season may be the norm until we find our next franchise QB. There's no excuse for only making the playoffs 4 times the past 10 years with as productive a QB as Tony Romo.
Even as consistently good as Romo has been over his career he's not able to overcome some of the issues that keep occurring with this team especially on the defensive side of the ball. Even Jerry has said he wishes the rest of the team could play as well as Romo. Jerry was caught in a vulnerable moment and gave a honest comment that points to the "team" not being very good.
Romo is the only player that keeps this team competitive. Without him in 2011, 2012 and 2013 we would have been a 3-4 win team at best those seasons. Tony Romo is the Dallas Cowboys and last years 1-11 record without him clearly shows it. We're 1-14 without him the past 3 seasons. There's probably not a team in the entire league that's worse than the Cowboys without their starting QB.
well, ok then Nostradamus.
...for your beloved Eagles....
