That's what I'm kinda thinking. I think would look at it and say "I have nothing left to accomplish as GM" then give the reigns over to Stephen.
.....as head coach :cool:

  • Commanders Eagles, and Giants fans will be bent over the throne.
  • Elder will still be selling throne's

IIRC, we were the only NFC East team (when we had the Cardinals, too) to go undefeated in the division......was it 98? We only had two out of division wins that year. We lost to Minnesota in the playoffs I think.

I believe it was the Cardinals that beat us...........oh for shame...:thumbdo:

1969 - Cowboys 6-0
1998 - Cowboys 8-0
2004 - Eagles 6-0

3 times the winner of our division has gone undefeated.....3 times in 50 years is 6%.....so while there is always a chance we can go undefeated....I will go with the 94 percentile that shows we wont.

I knew the Eagles did in 2004. I don't want to discredit them. But going undefeated when there were five teams in the division was a bit tougher. That's why I said, "when the Cardinals were still in the division".

And I did remember wrong.....

We didn't lose to the Vikes that year....it was the Cardinals. We go 8-0 in the regular season, but lose to the Cards in the playoffs.

That was the year both Irvin and Deion were banged up.

Seriously.....folks make a big deal of us not winning a playoff game for 65 years, but we've had real crappy luck around that time.

I try not to speak in absolutes, but no team will ever go undefeated during a 16-game regular season. The CBA/salary cap structure practically guarantees that it will never happen. There is just too much league-enforced parity for any team to overcome, no matter how strong or talent the team might be. The luck factor (and every team needs it from time to time) for creating wins during tight games has been minimized to the extreme.

If the '85 Bears couldn't do it before the cap, there's no chance of it happening during the 21st century. Good dream, though.

Total anarchy [i.e. never happen].

Depends. Will hell be freezing over simultaneously?

If the Cowboys were to go 19-0, I think Roger Goodell would disband the NFL.

In all seriousness, Jerry Jones might retire.

If that happens, there's no way Jerry retires from football. He'll have then felt he's shown everybody he deserves to be an NFL GM <Rightfully so if a perfect season happens> I don't see it happening but it sure would be great. It would make up for the past 13 years. It would just kill Eagles fans. 10 years, many playoff games won, 5 NFC Championship games.....4 lost, 1 super bowl loss. It would be like the 90's all over again. Ha Ha Ha!

Now wake up everyone, football season starts for us on Sunday, lets go one game at a time.

Just curious...

Obviously, some in here would be dissatisfied with the average margin of victory...

You know I'm right... "we should have beat the Chiefs by more than just 28 points, that was a pathetic effort"... "I can't believe we only won the Super Bowl by 14 points"..."we should have won our 6th before the damned Steelers"... and of course, "we've only won three playoff games in the last 14 years, that's embarrassing"...

And then, within a week, you'll hear "that won't mean anything unless we win it all again next year"...

Just couldn't have a little fun with it, huh? Remind me never to invite you to a party...

There's a reminder I'll never need, LOL...

Well, OK, maybe if we need a good pinata...

That's so true. Add in there "Roy didn't catch enough passes this year cause he's a bust...Romo threw 13 INTs this year and that's just too many. We can't win with him doing things like that....Wade Phillips is too easy on these guys so we're going to continue to suck."

But I'd take every single one of those things, with an even bigger smile than now, for a 19-0 **** to the media type of season.

Ahhh to dream.

You could put an asterisk next to our 6 - We are the only team who won 6 Lombardis and have an undefeated 16 game season.

It would kill the Fish and Stillahs fans instantly!!!!!!

Wouldn't the '70s Dollphins be upset . . . .

But it is not gonna happen. This team is not even in the top 10 all-time Dallas Cowboys teams. It's a good team but nothing special.
