And just like that we've been surpassed by the Lions

[Mannix]

Define "surpassed?" The Lions have now won their first playoff games period since 1991. They haven't appeared in a SB EVER in the SB modern era. Do we really want to trade franchises? This year ended in a massive disappointment but we gotta take a step back and relax. This is beyond your control.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not really grasping the point

WHo didn't know the Lions would be good this season???? Look at the draft they had, you knew they were going to be good

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

That's insane even the damn Vikings have done it I don't even remember that is that the Diggs and Case Keenum season?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Crazy thing is Jerry doesnt care at all

Not in the least, he stated he was floored! Well not too floored to make a change and then you stay out of the football operations.

 

[jblaze2004]

embarrassing.

Surpassed in terms of currently. Which is all that matters today,

 

[Captain-Crash]

good, I hope it felt like a donkey kick to the chest for jerry.

 

[ChuckA1]

They don't. They are worth billions and make hundreds of millions a year just on the Cowboys, not to mention all their other business ventures. Dallas Cowboys is nothing more than a business venture for them. Winning is just secondary.

Jerry is content with the 3 titles from the 90s.

I guess this is why they're despised in Dallas.

Completely opposite of our draft.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Oh I'm sure Washington will be in the NFC title game. Somehow. Someway within the next few years.

And..guess who will have the longest NFC streak without making an NFC title game?

Our great Dallas Cowboys

I was thinking the same exact thing, I think their new management will have them competitive in time

exactly!!!!!

Thirty years is an eternity and citing our ancient Super Bowl wins hardly falls in the “what have you done for me lately” esp when it’s almost three decades. I’d argue our older fans like myself have suffered more than Lions fans because we USED to be the gold standard of the NFL. There’s also no end in sight for the Jones family and their generations of idiots that will run things 20 years from now when Jerry dies.

We’ve been surpassed by the Lions. The team during my 30 year life on earth that’s been a walking punchline. The team that went 0-16. The JV Thanksgiving team. This team has now passed the Dallas Cowboys, as if we needed to add more insult to this miserable postseason for us. Feels horrible honestly knowing we’re in a race with the Commanders to be the most embarrassing team in the NFC this century

Wish ownership felt the shame and disappointment I do right now

As NFC contenders for the foreseeable future? Probably.

Historically? Well, you can't erase history. The Cowboys have won 5/8 SB's. And 6 other title game appearances.

Let's not go crazy here.

Like I said in the OP I’m 30 truthfully I’m glad this is a storied franchise that a lot of folks got to enjoy but not me so all that past stuff is irrelevant today

 

[JBS]

We are nothing short of an absolute embarrassment

 

[ryanbabs]

The Lions have had the same ownership for 60 years and this is their most successful season in that time frame. The franchise has the second lowest winning % in the league during that 60 years.

Well at least they seemed to have finally done something right.

Not really grasping the point

If you make it to the conference championship one year but SUCK the majority of your franchise existence, I don't consider this franchise success. Ex. I don't consider the Vikings, Bears, Cardinals "successful" franchises.

 

[Bobhaze]

The commanders got rid of their owner...

They may have a better chance than we do to get back.

 

[Cowboys93]

They may have a better chance than we do to get back.

Their future is bright. Got to prove it on the field but it’s a sad world where they have more to be excited about than we do

Our great Dallas Cowboys

It’s overwhelmingly more probable for sure.
