So Troy Aikman if the Cowboys season ends on Sunday can it be considered a successful season?

"I can tell you there is an owner in Dallas who is not going to be thrilled," Fox's Troy Aikman told a network conferece call this morning.

"I don't know if winning a playoff game satisfies anybody," Aikman added later.

But there is one positive: "They won't be a team viewed as a complete failure," Aikman said. "If you asked anyone at the beginning of the year if they considered winning one playoff game enough, they'd say no."

Yeah whatever Troy...

He's totally right. It's Superbowl or bust for me.

We win this game, we'll roll the Saints or Cards.

The Cardinals can score points, the Saints defense is a fluke - we get the Birds in our house and we'll make up for last seasons OT loss when we lost Romo and McBriar.

U disagree?

Yep, the dream scenario would be to host Arizona.

Of course the season won't be a success if we lose on Sunday. I can't imagine any Cowboy fan being happy about only one win in the playoffs, but at least this year, I have seen progress in our team and I think we will be a lot more hopeful about next year.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

U disagree?

This team wasn't expected to even make the playoffs...

 

[Boyzmamacita]

U disagree?

Some fans are already satisfied, some not so much. I just wish Troy would shut up sometimes. The Cowboys are under enough pressure.

Nothing but a super bowl is going to be enough. On the outside looking in, people would be able to say that a team like that had a fairly elite year and they were solid, but as a fan of the team, we wouldn't be content with it.

he doesn't come off as a very likable guy when he's not wearing a Cowboys uniform

Especially since this team wasn't even picked to make the playoffs by most.

I agree, he was my least favorite of the Triplets.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

SB or bust.

What does that matter? He wasn't talking about the media not being satisfied.

 

[ethiostar]

I don't see anything wrong with what he said. If they lose Sunday, I won't considered the season to be a very successful one but at the same time I won't consider it a complete failure either.

But then again i tend not to see most situations as an either/or scenario.

I agree Rampage. He has the driest personality of those 90s Cowboys.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Troy is still upset his "boy" Aaron Rodgers lost.

Go cry somewhere else.

Aikman's not happy unless the now Cowboys are losing. It pains him to watch Romo win and destroy all his passing marks. The only thing Aikman can cling to right now is 3 rings.

If Romo gets a ring, look out. Aikman will be torqued to the max.

Haha youare delusional when Aikman has defend Romo many times in the media from fans and other media pundits.

Please he said the truth and nothing else people always try to throw Aikman under the bus because they think he should be nothing but a Dallas mouth piece. Please that would turn in to Dallas version of Theisman.

Right. Wasn't Aikman the one that said Romo is the only reason people even have high expectations for the Cowboys? Sounds like pretty good praise to me.
