Good posts, Chuck.

(BTW, your namesake is the only SB MVP from the losing team)

I know...a great trivia question, and I loved that guy.

This is my opinion. Just mine. Agree or don't. Up to you.

It's for Cowboys fans.

The bandwagon is loading up. We've seen it before. And if you don't get what you think you deserve Sunday, and the next Sunday, and 2 after that, you'll be angry. Not disappointed. Not all of you, to be sure. But most of you. You'll be angry. It'll be because they played the wrong quarterback. Or the owner did something. You'll know exactly who should be paraded through the town square.

I'm begging you now to see it differently. It's not about you, to begin with. It's about the players and coaches who have sweated and bled for your amusement. These men have just given you the most enjoyable, enthusiastic, honest ride of 4 months duration than you've seen in 20 years. That's forever and it's irreversible. It feels like a building block, but whatever it is, it's been a total gas. I hope like hell they win 3 more games, because I want to see Jason Witten and Sean Lee and Barry Church and the great leaders of the team have that moment. If it doesn't happen, I'll be sad for THEM. And grateful. They have taken all of us on a phenomenal ride and it's been a gift.

I know these men. I know their stories and how hard they've worked. I'm for them. The rest of us, let us remember this week, they're playing another hard working team of professionals led by a magician. Let's accept the outcome whatever it is, because I guarantee you they will empty their buckets for our amusement again. I'm so grateful to them for the price they pay so we can feel. Thank you men.

Now go #finishTHISfight.

Great read. Just enjoy everything you write.

I agree with you, this is a young team and no matter what happens this week or next, we have something amazing going on

I didn't write that. Brad Sham posted it on twitter with a I link to his Facebook page. As he states on the very first line, this is his opinion. He is entitled to his opinion, just as everyone is who disagrees with him. Not shocked by the reactions, nor the reactionaries though. Par for the course.

What a pathetic thing to say. Feelings. Accept whatever.

The truly great organizations, which the Cowboys used to be, don't accept whatever. There's a standard of excellence. Anything short is unacceptable. The fans of these teams should be no different. To accept whatever is to no longer consider the Dallas Cowboys as special, to put them on the same level playing field as the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions and I refuse to accept that.

Somebody put Tom Landry face down. He doesn't need to see this.

What a delusional world to believe that [accepting whatever] has anything to do with narcissist feelings of some children Brad was pointing out.

I couldn't agree more with Brad thanks Hostile.

Check your history. The Cowboys became America's team through failure, not championships.
No one, including the organization, should accept the miserable failure of this organization, the 5-11 seasons, the 8-8 seasons, but falling short of the SB is not a failure; it's being defeated in a game by a better team on a particular day.

The Landry teams that made the playoffs 17 consecutive years were considered the lovable failures who couldn't win the big game. For five straight years, from 1966-1970, while accruing a record of 52-16-2, five first place finishes, we lost two NFL championships to the Packers, two conference championships to the Browns, and a Super Bowl to the Colts. We fans across America loved that team, loved their grit, talent, effort, and never turned on them for losing. After winning the SB vs Miami the next year, we followed that great overdo moment with two more consecutive Conference championship losses to the Commanders and Vikings before missing the playoffs in 1974, then lost a SB to Pittsburg and a divisional playoff to the Rams before Roger Staubach finally won his second SB. Then we lost another SB and five consecutive years in the playoffs, all while becoming America's team.

I've followed the Cowboys since the early '60's when Eddie Labaron and Don Meredith were sharing the QB job, and this has been the most unexpected and satisfying season in all my years. Like Sham, I won't be angry if the Cowboys lose now or in the following weeks. I appreciate this team for the rookie performances and the undermanned defense. Unlike all those years when the most talented team in the NFL, quarterbacked by Roger Staubach, fell short Year after year after year, This team has outperformed all expectations already. I hope they win the SB, but I'll be celebrating this season in its ties to Cowboys history, no matter how or when it ends.

of course and thanks

If we had a rookie playing like a rookie I would agree but we don't.

Dak Prescott stopped getting judged like a normal rookie about a month into the season and at the end of the season when you look at almost any major passing statistic and see him in the top 5 in all of those stats then you can't use the rookie thing as an excuse.

As Dorothy said, "we're not in Kansas anymore" and the rookies aren't in the regular season anymore. I think suffering a loss in the regular season, knowing next week will be another chance is a lot different knowing the season is over if the team loses. If Dak wins the whole thing, it will go down as one of the greatest moments in Cowboys history.

Some parts are OK. Some are ridiculous. First, we are not here because of them. They are here because of us. If Dallas fans didn't pay the tickets and merchandise, there wouldn't even be a Dallas team. And in return for that and making Dallas one of the richest teams in all of sports. For making the Jones' filthy rich, for making it possible for these players to sport around in Lambos and live in mansions, Dallas fans want a ring. As a whole, Jerry Jones hasn't given back to the fans what the fans have given to them the last 20 years. So the goal is Super Bowl. And if not getting a ring doesn't make the players as frantic and upset as the fans, then, to me, we, as fans, are being robbed. I don't like being robbed. I expect a great game plan, great coaching, and a great performance. If we get that, and they lose, and I see that the key players are crushed over losing. I am thankful for them and it is what it is. If they are not prepared and lose and act nonchalant about it... I've been robbed and I can and will voice it. The goal is not a good regular season. They are not allowed to call it a year now. They have to finish the fight.

Carolina thought they were building something. So do Denver. There is no assurances for 2017. Win or be open to criticism as a #1 seed going down in flames. We aren't the Eagles, Skins, Saints or whoever. That Facebook post should have stayed right where it is along with the other fake news that comes from that source.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

If we lose we should trade Romo and Dak for Sam Bradford. Blow it up.

This exactly. Nothing in the future is guaranteed. You play TO WIN THE GAME!!! There aren't any participation awards or moral victories in this game. You are frigging 13-3. Don't waste this golden oppurtunity!

 

[Sarge]

The way I look at it is this: in order for the AFC to win the Super Bowl this year they will have to beat 2 starting rookies (at QB and RB) for the first time ever.

 

[cowboy_ron]

It's actually not time for the Cowboys to get over the playoff hump. That's illogical to say with a rookie QB. It'd be great if they did, but time for it? No. If they lose this Sunday they have a legitimate excuse for it.

Excuses are for losers and I don't think Dak, Zeke, or any of these young guys have that mindset...Dak has looked poised and actually very veteran like since he first set foot on the field this year. Not one other rookie QB drafted this year have even come close to Dak.The Cowboys were the first wild card team to play in a super bowl, there's no reason to believe Dak can't be the first rookie QB to win one.

 

[romothesavior]

I understand that the future is bright, but I think anything less than an NFCCG appearance will be a big disappointment for me. And anything less than a SB will be at least a minor disappointment.

I'm 28. I don't even remember our last NFCCG. I have very vague recollections of our last Super Bowl, but pretty much my entire life as a fan of this team has been one letdown after another. At the very least, I want us to advance the ball a little further this year than we did in 2007 or 2014, or I will consider this season to be yet another letdown.

(That's not to say I will be "mad" at the players, as Sham suggests. But I won't look bad fondly on another season with a division round loss.)

absolute ....loser mentality right there

I think disappointed is the right word, for me anyway. I didn't expect this type of season at the start.

It is all gravy now, but it doesn't mean I haven't allowed my homer glass to get a little full, and at times think this is the Cowboys Super Bowl. Because of that if the Cowboys should lose prior to the Championship game I will be disappointed. Ok who am I kidding I'll be a little mad too, but mostly disappointed.

I'm a huge Sham fan. I agree it's been the most entertaining season in 20 years providing us much hope for the future. And based on where we thought we'd be again after Romo went down this season has surpassed any hopes we could have had but once you arrive where we are it's only natural instinct to want to finish it off.

So, depending on how we finish will depend on how the story is written. If we are beaten by one of the greatest QB's in NFL history playing at a MVP level while fighting until our last breathe we will be able to walk away with our head high looking forward to more seasons to come while continuing to add more strength in talent and more experience to our youthful existing talent .

There's never shame in losing to more talent. It doesn't mean it won't be disappointing . And it doesn't mean we won't over analyze it.
