If the Cowboys do not win a playoff game this year it will be the first 10 year period in franchise history without a playoff win. Here is a comparison of the 3worst 10 season periods
1960 - 1969
67-65-6 50.8%
playoff record 1-4 (2-4 if you count a meaningless "3rd place" playoff win)
1982-1991
64-79 44.8%
playoff record 3-4
1996-2005
74-86 46.2%
playoff record 1-4
it is also the only 10 year span where they did not play once for the conference or league championship
So it's arguable which is worse 82-91 or 96-05. The one playoff win in 96-05 was 96 against the Vikings, so if they do not win a playoff game this year then 1997-2006 becomes the first 10 year period with zero playoff wins.
