Cowboys overall performance over the last decade

sure you can
one reason the Pats dynasty was what it was - the AFC least stank for most of that run
When your Division sucks, you can strictly build your team to beat to beat the top team in the conference.

An automatic 6 wins a year is nice.
 
That 29% came against a Buccaneer team that was below .500 and a not so good Seattle team that couldn't even field a kicker by the end of the game.
Meanwhile we got wiped by teams we were supposed to beat
 
If we look at the Cowboys through an even wider lens, since 2000, the team has made the playoffs 10 of 25 years and in those ten playoff appearances have won 4 wild card games. Ouch.

Is there another owner in this league that would tolerate this kind of performance from his GM?
 
Seems like the team isn't ready in the playoffs. Its weird, they just don't seem to be that fired up...I've always thought that and think coaching plays a role.......
It's not the players...I know that.

It's Jerry using NDA's with coaches to maximize his wallet via 'hanging at the rim' and early playoff exits as the business model...

Or it's coaching.

It's one of those two.

Or its all a lie
 
How have the Cowboys performed over the last decade (from 2015-24) in some of the most important measurements like regular season wins, playoff appearances, and playoff wins?

Here’s how we measured up in the last decade from 2015-2024:
  • Regular season wins and losses: 93-71 (.567)
  • Won the NFC East 4 times: 2016, 2018, 2021, and 2023.
  • Playoff appearances: 5 times: 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023.
  • Did not qualify for the playoffs: 5 times: 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2024
  • Playoff record last decade: 2-5 : Wins in WC round, 2018 and 2022, losses in WC or divisional round 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2023. (.285)
Overall, we won about 56% of our regular season games and 29% of our playoff games. We qualified for the playoffs 50% of the time, and won the division 40% of the time. We never earned the right in the playoffs to be one of the best two teams in the conference.

When I look at the Cowboys over the last decade I see a team that is above average in the regular season, makes the playoffs about 50% of the time and does not perform well in the playoffs. We have been a top 6-8 team in the league at times but not better than that.

Anything else?

As much as I’d love a deep playoff run I’m just glad they don’t suck Year after year, though that’s a non romo non dak fluke away from happening with this lot

the only lies come from Big And Little Enos about how badly they want to win

vegas to start with; but you are welcome to show evidence otherwise
I thought Vegas made their odds to make sure they win money no matter the results.

I had no idea it was actually about who they thought was going to win and by how much.
 
You can't cherry pick.
You are kidding right?

You are the lead cheerleader of the cherry picking society.

It's completely fine to disect stats etc. Doing so allows us to be objective and assess accurately. It's not called cherry picking, it calculating using median v mean to improve accuracy etc.

If you earned $50,000 per year are you wealthy? Instant answer is 'no way". Well......you would be if you lived in India due to their living costs.

So with that in mind, removing the 2 "Indian" teams that have been putrid for years does actually paint a more accurate picture of our performance.

I think (I could be wrong) that its believed that as long as Jerry stays relevant during and after the season, winning a superbowl at the cost of perhaps having a couple of bad years afterwards, makes him (Jerry) content with having a "good season" (defined by having a winning record) as long as his cowboys are still the most valuable NFL sports franchise in the world.

To Jerry, I honestly believe that being the worlds most valuable sports franchise is more important than winning a superbowl. The irony is with Jimmy's help winning those super bowls helped enable that current reality of being the most valuable sports franchise in the world.

After Jerry's "all in" comment, I suspect as he gets even older he's going to make even more dumber comments, but he will still be in power of his company, and as long as they are making money, who cares?
 
If it makes anyone feel better, when Dak is the QB he is 78-51, a .605 percentage. Among all the QB's likely to start Day One, here is how the Top Ten in winning percentage stack up:

Mahomes 106-27, .797
Jackson 73-29, .716
Daniels 14-6, .700 (small sample size though)
Hurts 52-23, .693
Allen 83-40, .675
Purdy 27-15, .643 (smallish sample size though)
Dak 78-51, .605
Wilson 130-85-1, .604
Tua 38-25, .603
Goff 85-57-1, .598
I think percentage performance of the listed quarterbacks does not tell the good, bad, mediocre or exceptional starting quarterback whole story because pro football is one of the ultimate team sports. However starting quarterbacks and head coaches always seem to get most of the glory or the damnation.

For all of us sharing opinions or views in the forum this listing is communication currency.

Those game win-loss records do not take into account the overall contributory performance and talent level of all players in all units (offense, defense & special teams) including the quality coaching, scouting department and general management and ownership personnel.

Other variables - draft, free agency, injuries, strength of schedule, period cramps, karma, lol.

The team winning percentage in the regular season doesn't seem to be a great indicator to overall sucess

The Steelers have had the 2nd best winning percentage the last 10 years and have gone 3-7 in those playoffs games. It also appears that only 3 out of the top 11winningest teams have even gotten to the SB during this time period.

The 2 teams that have gotten to the promised land more than the others either have Mahomes and Reid or Howie Roseman as an executive. Lol.
