Bob Sturm's NFL franchise rankings: Are the Cowboys holding their own?
http://sportsday.***BANNED-URL***/d...ms-nfl-franchise-rankings-cowboys-holding?f=r
2. Dallas Cowboys
Last year: #2
Total: 109 pts
Dallas has the most playoff appearances, the most Final 4s, and are tied with Pittsburgh for the most Super Bowl appearances. However, since 1996, they have a performance level that actually trails the Jacksonville Jaguars and is certainly a team that is getting by on reputation and history. They are far removed from where they once stood, and yet, they still can claim to have as many or more points than any other franchise. They were a dominant, dominant franchise for 30 years. So much so, that according to these numbers, the Cowboys had 101 points through the first 30 Super Bowls and just 8 points in the last 20. That equates to 3.3 points per season for the first 30 years and 0.40 per year in the 20 years since. 2014 may or may not have been a big tease with the massive revival, because 2015 was anything but. We shall see where the road leads next year.
Total Playoff Years: 66C, 67C, 68, 69, 70SL, 71S, 72C, 73C, 75SL, 76, 77S, 78SL, 79, 80C, 81C, 82C, 83, 85, 91, 92S, 93S, 94C, 95S, 96, 98, 99, 03, 06, 07, 09, 14
Playoff Years: 31 | Final 4s: 8 | Super Bowl Losses: 3 | Super Bowl Wins: 5
Average: 2.18 points per season
