Jets went to the AFC title game. I'll take getting there and then anything can happen.
True, but that's not what I said, I said no team WON THE SB after being on hard knocks.
While I wouldn't be happy with the season overall if the Cowboys lost the NFC title game, at least it'd be a step in the right direction. Though as I've said before, this team's window to win the SB, imho, is closing fast what with T. Smith getting to the end of his career, LVE and Smith needing to get better, tons of free agents after this year. etc.
So I don't think the team has time to get to the SB in stages, getting to the NFC championship game is only (if they win the division) one step closer, meaning they have to make 3 steps (win the second playoff game, then win the NFC title and then win the SB) if they do it incrementally.
But I appreciate your attitude, wish I could share it, but I've been spoiled over the decades with 5 rings and 5 other title game appearances, "getting closer" doesn't do it for me....
