Because all we did today is cede a higher spot in the draft to some other team.
Enjoy the win, Yoda.
I just don't get this need to feel good about ourselves while we fall in the draft order.

I don’t know how our GM feels, but probably like I feel. GREAT.

I know our tank fans feel down, but then again they want to tank every year. They don’t like their own team. EVER.

A few spots different in the draft will not make a difference.

Jerry's thoughts in the off-season will be fixed on his need list, drafting tight ends, a backup RT and a 3-4 WR in April. We know he's on top of things.
And a FG kicker and a kick returner would be nice.

You guys all get it wrong. Jerry is Jabba that drinks too much instead of eating. He overestimates his own abilities, and loses the ultimate battle because of it. He also molests young women by abusing the power structure.

I am sure Yoda will want to co-sign your post.

Simpletons will prefer the here and now satisfaction of a win even though it leads to nothing positive in a lost season.

They'd rather have that now than a better draft pick. Until the actual draft, when they'll wish we were picking higher.

Sadly they'll probably romp on Thanksgiving as well and we can all celebrate nothing while the draft slot just keeps falling.

And some simpletons just hate on everything and anything.

When we picked at 4, we were 13 and 3 the next season with a rookie qb.
That team went 12-4 two years earlier and 3-1 with its starting QB (when he wasn't injured) the year we "earned" that 4 pick, so let's not act like it wasn't completely devoid of any talent. In fact that team was good enough that it was able to go 13-3 with a rookie QB (not the other way around).

It was still a horrible pick at 4 (for the long run of the team). Could have had Ramsey and Henry with the first two picks in that draft.

It's nicer to rebuild. This game will be forgotten in a month. Our ability to draft well (such as it is) will provide benefits for the next 4 years.
by the same GM people here constantly say cannot draft and draft busts like Guyton and Smith.

I get the idea that losing can be beneficial but if people are angry when we lose and angry when we win, maybe those people have an anger problem

I agree with the OP. The win does not mean anything when you are most likely out of the playoffs. Dallas has a 1% chance to make the playoffs. A win just means we are higher in the draft pick and Dallas will have a mediocre team for a longer time frame as in years.

We don't draft well when we reach for a need because we refuse to be active in FA.
