January 28, 1996 - 20 year anniversary of our last Super Bowl

[RonSpringsdaman20]

I didn't enjoy that SB at all. After the game it was all about how the Steelers blew it not that the Cowboys won it. I was more relieved than anything. Looking back I wish I would have enjoyed it more. I sure enjoyed the other 2 in the 90's.

I kinda felt the same way... the first two were much more fulfilling. Those teams were more efficient... The third team was riding off of talent alone.... and the lack of depth was starting to show... (K. Williams should never be a number two receiver.)

There are 11 teams with longer SB droughts than the Cowboys.

Whew...I feel so much better now...

20 years of feeling like a browns fan

I wish I enjoyed it more too. Thank god for O'Donnell. The boys were at the height of their arrogance with Deon. I was like Aikman just relived that it was over. Never thought we wouldn't be back....heck even Carolina's been to more championship games and SBs then us since then and they were an expansion team that year.

Will I get benched if I say I can't wait for jerry to die?

Que the...we haven't won in 20 years....and coaching staff and all that posts....

At least we aren't Cleveland or Detroit....just keep that in mind.....

We have been no better than Cleveland or Detroit in 20 years.

A perfect representation of what this franchise is now. A little below average.

Twenty-one teams haven't won a Super Bowl in the past 20 years.

Twenty-one teams haven't won a Super Bowl in the past 20 years.

So there are about a dozen teams that dominate the league and everybody else sucks?

Gee, I wonder which group we are in?

We're in with the Browns, Lions, Jaguars and Titans although the Titans did make it to one SB since then.

You can choose to be a fan and cheer and root and be entertained. Or you can choose to let the game overtake your emotions. Love the Cowboys, but i have bills my girl my job, life to worry about then to sulk in 20 yrs lol. Put your man pants on and stop crying.

Good for you.

Celebrate your fandom any way you like, however when someone thinks it's OK to point the figure at other teams and laugh when our team has been largely irrelevant in actual football terms for 20 years I'll point it out.

So thanks for the offer of the tissue but I don't need them.

The only thing that rages me out about Jerry Jones is the fact he still brings up something that happen 20+ years ago. Even just a few days ago he brought up Troy and how he drafted him with the first pick. Its always a reminder to keep fans in the seats.
A person who is 25-28 year old has no idea what happen 20+ years ago. They have nothing to show for and have to dip back 20+ years keep this team relevant.. They also have to rely on fathers now to show how great that this team was to their kids and Jerry fuels this. Its a magic trick that needs to be exposed.

Just say put him on a cruise ship that gets stuck around Antarctica, and he hears the Cowboys win SBs with Jimmy as an advisor.

 

[Floatyworm]

The sad part is that we have not even been to the conference championship game since then.

20 years and all we have is a pair of wins on Wildcard weekend...........2009 against Philly and 2014 against Detroit...........that's it the past 20 years.

Let's be honest....Detroit kicked our butt. If we didn't get some help from the refs....we probably lose that game as well.

 

[Eddie]

Hard to believe it's been 20 years ... 20 pathetic years. So this is how it feels to be a Jets fan.

I figured we'd be down for a bit but would eventually pull up our pants and win another Super Bowl or two in that time period.

But now I know that I won't be seeing another trophy with the Jones family running the circus.

The Ferrari was falling apart. No Ken Norton, Kevin Gogan, Alvin Harper, James Washington, Jimmie Jones.

I didn't enjoy Super Bowl 30 and I knew we were done.

Edit: And adding Deion sped up the demise more. He was a locker room cancer.
