I agree, I don’t know what dallas’ prob is. Just really feels cursed.
I think it is 2 things.
#1) Sheer luck. We have been in the playoffs enough times with a high enough seed the last two decades to get lucky and win a few games and end up in then NFCCG or Superbowl. For whatever reason we just have been on the receiving end of some serious heart breakers (The Romo PAT fumble, The Dez catch, the incredible Rodgers throw in 2016, etc.). Luck is a huge part of winning a championship and for some reason it just hasn't worked out in our favor.
#2) Toxic top management. Jerry Jones is an expert at constantly sabotaging this team. Keeping Jason Garret for a decade was heinous and running Jimmy Johnson out of town was brain dead. Not to mention the disgusting contracts that we have handed out over the years just to see them blow up in spectacular fashion. Jerry is the single constant in all of this and as long as he keeps himself involved in football operations the hex will not be broken.
I honestly believe we will get lucky one of these days and go on a run in the playoffs and end up in an NFCCG or the Superbowl. It could be next year, 10 years from now, or even 20 years from now but it will happen. 5 years is an eternity in the NFL. I do not think we will have to wait forever.
I will stand by this team as long as I am around, but as a fan who has only seen 2 playoff wins in his lifetime my soul gets crushed a little bit every season I watch us waste.
