Superbowl loss or win is for me. 2nd prefrence is NFC championship loss is acceptable.

Once you get to playoffs its game by game . For the last 2 years we hv seen 6th seeds winning the superbowl.

Neither. I would love to see Cowboys win a division and end up with 3rd or 4th seed, no bye but win it out. :)

But if you were to gun on my head, I would go with wild card win.

Just getting to the playoffs would be a huge accomplishment for this team. I don't really care how they get inn, just getting inn would make this a successful season and anything that happens after that would be a bonus

I don't think it's improbable this team wins the SB. Score 6 more ppg and give up 6-7 less and you're a contender. That's not too big a stretch for this team. Win ten games or the East should get you a ticket to the dance.

I want to win every game and then a Super Bowl.
But assuming that doesn't happen but we do have a better season than in recent years, what scenario would you prefer if the season had to end in the 2nd round of the playoffs?

How low our expectorations have fallen in the Romo era.

wild card win, and its not really close for 2 reasons

1) a playoff win is a playoff win
2) going in with a division title and a rd 1 bye, i will be HUGELY disappointed if we lost

I would absolutely prefer a Wild Card win to a BYE, if the next game were to be a loss. I want to watch my team play and I get 2X in the Wild Card scenario.

One and Done's are painful. I'll take a Wild Card win followed by a loss every time compared to that.

You preferred the post-Aikman, pre-Romo era obviously. Yes, those were the days...

Good one. Ah can tell a lot of thought went into that one.
As to the post-Aikman era, we won zilch. As to the Romo era, we won zilch. Hard one to call.
