12 win seasons dont mean as much as it used to.
look at Minn, great in season, but one and done at home , giants take them out.
This past season was a golden opportunity for jerry and his toy, the cowboys.
They only had 2 teams to beat,
1.SF
2.Phil
SF was beatable, esp is dallas had added few FA to help them be better
PHil they would need the FA just to compete and have a chance at beating them, but if they had got some good ones in right positions,
Dallas could have been in SB. But jerry doesnt want to go all in lol, and this was the year to do it, it was obvious early on this was a weak nfc year.
Then the only problem would be beating KC and mahomes, and they were a determined bunch.
So even if dallas had got there beating KC would have been tough with our coaches.
that is the other thing, the coaches jerry hires tend to hold the team back, not help them.
the cowboy players have to overcome inferior coaching to win games and esp big games, and that is hard to do.
