I brought this argument up to my uncle since he is a generation older than me. I have never witnessed Dallas lose a Super Bowl. I'm 33 so I was in grade school for the 90s dynasty. I asked him is it still worth making the Super Bowl but losing and he said absolutely. You want to be there. You never know what can happen. We have seen teams win that many gave zero chance. Giants both times against NE. NE the first time around against the Rams. Jets over the Colts. Denver over Green Bay. There might be a small chance but it isn't a 7 game series. Weird stuff can happen in 60 minutes.
It's a loser's mentality to say you'd rather not make the playoffs or the Super Bowl if we are just going to lose. But you can't have a shot if you don't make it.
If the Eagles make the Super Bowl again but lose to the Pats, how do us Dallas fans have a leg to stand on to make fun of them? It looks embarrassing. All we have is our history. Nothing about our present day even comes close to what they have done.
Here's the kicker.
Some of the same people saying they'd rather not make the playoffs if they are just going to lose, are some of the same that chastised people for suggesting that it would be better if we lost out late in the year and got a better draft pick.
They are just reacting to the circumstances of the moment. When we still were playoff eligible, it was poor fandom to suggest we lose and not root for the playoffs. Once we are out and our rival is about to make the SB, suddenly going to the playoffs is useless and meaningless and not very important if you are just going to lose. LOL.
