They fell apart because they had no talent in the back 7. The offense couldn't score every possession, and the defense couldn't stop opposing teams on defense. They were the worst team in football after the Buffalo game that they won.
Go ahead and keep justifying a failed approach.
I said the last 2 decades. Meaning in total .
They sure sucked last year.
This is how I see teams doing it when they push a lot of money forward to attempt to win now. Race to the top, crash and burn, quickly recover, get a good draft pick. We go a steady 65-75 mph.
They were 10-1 and crashed and burned but a playoff team can't be considered as a team that "sucks".
If you can guarantee a SB for putting yourself in years of franchise crippling dept then sure.
I'm not so sure I would call the Rams rebuilt. Any team with a franchise QB will contend for a playoff spot. Thats them. They are no powerhouse.
The Rams had 1 bad year and were in the playoffs getting bounced in their 1st game just like the Cowboys. But they have a ring and the Cowboys can’t get out of the 2nd round in 30 years.
from 2021. It hasn't improved much but they have loss a lot of players they purchased and traded for.
If you can guarantee one. But we know we can't.
They are not real contenders and wont be for a long time. Regardless of how you spin it.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I'm nitpicking here, but Emmitt didn't hold out. Emmitt literally did not have a contract. They couldn't come to terms. It's actually a worse situation than a holdout. Emmitt couldn't play if he wanted to. He had no contract. Jerry said, and I am paraphrasing, the league is moving away from these types of contracts. Referring to the salary cap. So yeah, cheap. Jerry was also a big proponent of the hard cap, the cap he doesn't manage well.
This is an excellent take. It shows the difference between the Rams and Eagles approach. The Rams are a team that uses every resource, give up everything to stack the team to win immediately. The Eagles approach is just as aggressive but don't put all of their chips up front. They just spend more up front, push money forward to acquire the same talent. Even though both teams will pay in the future, at least the Eagles don't hurt their future draft.
How much of a team cancer do you think the guy is if they just resigned him? The cancer on their team is their HC by the way. The simple fact that Cowboys homers don't want to see is that every team in the NFL has improved itself in the off-season and we have not. Will all these moves the Iggles have made pay off in the end? The simple fact is that they see needs and they go out to try to find them. The reality of being a Cowboys fan for as long as I have is that we have had these same needs for 30 years and have done nothing about it. Oh wait, apologies, we are doing something about it. No RB1, nor WR2, questions at OL, a QB1 nobody wants here, and guys on D coming off of not playing last year who will be counted on to step up. While I go worship the Iggles you should go find a dose of reality at your local pharmacy
A lot of the posters say the Cowboys suck.
I've been hearing for 15 to 20 years how cap hell is coming and imminent for the Eagles but it never seems to happen.
Well that's nonsense as well. A 12-5 playoff team doesn't suck.
I'm not saying they are a powerhouse. But they quickly became a playoff team again while many here predicted they would be in football Siberia for years
That's right. The deal is you could see that the Eagles had the potential to collapse by mid-season and they did. They could have easily lost more games than they did.
