This is a stat I find to be useless.

How many of the current players were here for those losses?

Now how many coaches were here for those losses?



If the recipe changes, the soup's gonna taste different!

Some stats to go with this generalization

2006 | DAL 17 @ JAC 24 |
Them: 8-8, no postseason
Us: 9-7, Lost Wild Card Playoffs (Seahawks) 21-20

2005 | DAL 28 @ SD 24 |
Them:9-7, no postseason
Us: 9-7, no postseason

2004 | DAL 17 @ MIN 35 |
Them: 8-8 finish, lost NFC Divisional Playoff vs Eagles
Us: 6-10, no postseason

2003 | ATL 27 @ DAL 13 |
Them: 5-11, no postseason
Us: 10-6, Lost Wild Card Playoffs (Panthers) 29-10

2002 | DAL 10 @ HOU 19 |
Them: 4-12, no postseason
Us: 5-11, no postseason

2001 | TB 10 @ DAL 6 |
Them: 9-7, Loss in wildcard round vs Eagles
Us: 5-11, no postseason

2000 | PHI 41 @ DAL 14 |
Them: 11-5, Lost NFC divisional playoff vs Giants
Us: 5-11, no postseason

So whats this mean. Absolutely nothing! A loss is just 1 loss and it means next week we have to get better.
