Is Philly better at building teams than us?

Shocking that anyone would even argue this. Man, you gotta really reach and/or lie to yourself to not think so.
Homerism dude.

It's a disease.

I mean the evidence is significant in terms of showing that Jerry and Stephen have not done a great job building rosters since they kicked Johnson to the curb and they absolutely have not been more successful than Philly both in their play and in roster building. I am almost embarrassed we have this many people that truly believe otherwise.

This is a complete steaming pile of you know what, especially this part. Those four seasons to pay it back? LOL, they were basically just as good as our 4 seasons doing it the "Cowboys way".

Think about that. The Eagles ramped up for the 2017 SB, they won, they used the next four years rebuilding the team again and had basically as much, if not more success since that 2017 as the Cowboys.

And yet you are going to sit here and criticize how they build a team compared to us? Hahahahaha. No offense, but you might be the most obtuse poster here. Maybe moreso than Rockport.

Most posters are able to make their point without insults which is typically the sign of a very weak argument. Yours is no exception.

If the Cowboys were mediocre for four seasons following a single Super Bowl championship then it wouldn't be worth it, not to me. If you can't defend your title adequately the following season then you were probably just lucky to get it and you are a one hit wonder.

How could anyone enjoy the four seasons that followed the Eagles championship? They would be ridiculed weekly on every media outlet. Only fans of that team would hold on to the memory of that single championship in the "what have you done for me lately" mentality of today.

Championships are history 5 minutes after the game. It is the collection of championship memories that count.

What are teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, 49ers and Patriots known for? Are the Seahawks and new Orleans Saints mentioned as often when discussing championship teams?

I don't want a championship if it forces me to ensure the next four seasons losing more than they win.

You can continue with your insults to my intelligence if you must, you seem to think it's your most powerful weapon and that's unfortunate.

It's not wrong to feel differently than me. In all honesty, that just happens to be the way I feel on the subject.

They have a different philosophy is all. cox was available to us(we chose Mo instead) but he’s not the type of DT we go for.

Cowboys value speed and agility over girth and power.
" Quick Twitch " ... we stuck with the great Rod Marinelli waaaay too lomg.

Ditto with Jerry's wonder boy Jason Garrett - who no NFL teams wants as either HC or OC .

Not with you on this. It's all about winning championships. It's rare to get one, so you need to go after it if you feel you are close.

If you are the Saints, for example, would you rather have multiple years of being competitive over the last 13 years or the 2010 title? I'd take the title in a heartbeat. I wouldn't enjoy the mediocrity if that's what it took to get the title, but winning it all is worth the suffering.

The Cowboys, Steelers, 49ers and Patriots are known for winning multiple titles. So winning one every five to 10 years would add to that instead of now being known as a team that hasn't reached a championship game in almost 30 years.

Hell yes....and they keep their damn mouths shut when deals are brewing. EVERY time they land a big FA or bid trade, you don't hear a peep about it until it happens....you know, how REAL GM's operate!!!

The 4 seasons following their SB...
2018 Playoff win
2019 Made the playoffs
2020 Bad season
2021 Made playoffs losing to SB champs

That's a span to be rediculed?

Oops, you forgot to mention their record. I'm sure it was just an oversight.

2018 9-7
2019 9-7
2020 4-11-1
2021 9-8

All four seasons combined: 31-33-1

I love how you tried to prop up their 2021 season by mentioning that they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champs in the playoffs as if that was the only team capable of beating them.

In 2021 the Eagles were the first team to benefit from the new playoff format. They were the first #7 seed. Any previous season and they would not have been in the playoffs. They lost twice to the Cowboys that season by margins of 20 and 26 points respectively.

We should have been building the OLine all along.

Spending super high picks on RBs or LBers just is so 1980ish.

We just need a real GM...but we'll never have one. Just Jerruh, and then his idiot son once Jerruh is dead...and now his idiot son has convinced himself he can GM the team just like Daddy did.
Like living next to an active volcano, the lava just never stops flowing.

I'd rather be the 2007 Patriots. Why?
Because, at the point you're referencing, they had made
it to the AFC Championship in 6 of 7 seasons.

I'd much rather be part of a dynasty than a flash in the pan.

Read that again, people. 6 AFC Championship Games
in 7 seasons! We're sitting here in year 28, I think, just
hoping for one.
Indeed that is a solid point right there my friend.
We all want the Ring, but building consistency is an achievement and very hard to accomplish in todays game.

This is going to turn into a Dak-esque....look at the regular season (stats) and forget the play-offs.
The aim (or so I thought) was to a) get to the play-offs and more importantly b) win when you got there.

So again, a team that's been to 3 SBs this millennium, won countless playoff games, been to like 8 NFC championship games wins a SB and for 4 years makes the playoffs 3 times and that means Dallas builds a better team. Your blind hate for the Eagles is getting you laughed at. I love how you omit they won a playoff game at 9-7. Your take is silly and even Cowboy fans are laughing at you. They have been a top 5 team this millennium yet a Dallas team who has 3 playoff wins is better.

*3 SB appearances not 2
*8 NFC Championship games in 22 seasons, that's averages to more then once every 3 years. Dallas hasn't made one in almost 30 years.
*Countless playoff wins.

Yeah, you're not biased

So, we're making the same point... They're infinitely better at building a team than dumb and dumber.
