It matters because they lost.

Throughout the 2007 season I heard people state this team may be better than the early 90s teams.

Well they should have took care of business in the playoffs and won the SB instead of the Giants.

Instead they went one and done.
compare the coaches lol, if jimmy dave and norv had been the coaches , I think they would have won that game and the 2006 game.
coaching matters

How about actually drafting a QB in the FIRST round? All those late rounders or undrafted ones do not cut it. I know there is Brady but that is the exception.
Half the quarterbacks drafted early in the first round don't become superstars either. How about No.1 draft pick Sister Golden Hair surprise with the Jags. It's almost a 50-50 crap shoot. Good but not great or incomplete teams are cursed in the draft system. Good enough to not get a top 10 first round draft pick bad enough to not be able to hang with the best teams in the playoffs.

Seeing Jimmy tweet this is depressing. Seeing Michael Irvin having to sit on ESPN and get ridiculed for 2 hours is depressing. Not only do our fans deserve better, but so do our legends.

I can assure you the first person out the door if Jimmy was charge would be Kellen Moore. He would not stand for his play caller not running the football.

You are on the right track. A whole lot of heads would be rolling by now if Jimmy was in charge. But Jimmy's teams never came out of the locker room as flat as the cowboys were on Sunday. There needs to be a purge b/c a loser mentality permeates that locker room. Jimmy would find the sources and get rid of them.

I understand. But you have a way higher chance to get a good one in the first round.

And to be fair, Romo didn’t lose that game. The defense giving up a 50 second touchdown drive right before half and Patrick Crayton lost that game.

Romo was also stellar in the 2014 playoffs. They probably win in Green Bay if Murray doesn’t fumble.


Murray fumble killed that chance to win.

What’s Jerry and Stephen going to do about it?

Answer: Nothing. Just business as usual.

That right there is what makes this bad. Nobody will do anything.

Sign some scrubs and draft some rookie. Line up and try again. That’s the plan…
What can they really do? Once they gave Dak that back breaking contract they went all in. When the best thing that anyone can say about your quarterback is that he is leader and a good guy your screwed. Dak’s agent took full advantage of the SJW movement. Well we got him for three more years.:facepalm::facepalm:

Aikman’s playoff record for his first 6 seasons (as a starter in the playoffs) was 7-1.

He could have thrown more TDs, but he gifted them to Emmitt. In the playoffs, Aikman showed real greatness.

Also how many good teams draft a QB high in the first round? Very few because that's often why they are drafting in the top 5. Occasionally there are obviously mitigating circumstances like we had in 2016 after Romo went down in 2015 but often a team is bad if they draft top 5 so as a knock on the chances are the QB will struggle for a year or two regardless.

Not to take away from Troy because he was phenomenal, this was back in the days where all it took was opening up the checkbook to buy a championship level team. Prior to free agency and salary caps, the NFL was what the NBA and MLB are now.

Modern free agency came after the Cowboys era. They built that team ground up. That dynasty is the first dynasty that was fleeced as a result of modern free agency era.

Even with the Bozo Barry Switzer as the head coach and a loaded 49ers team from spending like a drunken sailor on free agents; the Cowboys battled back.

However, this play stopped the comeback and Barry Switzer put the nail in the coffin drawing a 15 yard penalty from bumping a referee.



The conditions of that game were completely horrible, because of the rain and mud, which more than justifies the TOs.

Once Aikman adjusted, he went down swinging and if it weren’t for the blatant PI by Deion on Irvin right in front of the refs that was completely ignored, the game is ours. SF was getting punched in the mouth.

And that was the year the criminal mafia owner in SF committed all sorts of salary cap shenanigans to bring in veterans to beat the Cowboys, along with all the other criminal garbage they did.
