Let's face it, We are the post-season version of the Cleveland Browns

[Everson24]

As much as I hate Stephen A. Smith, He is right about two things; "We are an accident waiting to happen" and "What can go wrong will go wrong". The Cleveland Browns have cornered the market on heartbreaking regular season losses but we seem to be their equivalent in the playoffs. What other team has suffered so many heartbreaking losses in the post-season? We have now lost 8 of our last 10 playoffs games and most were in heart-wrenching fashion. We have the Tony Romo bobbled snap, The Crayton drop, The Dez non-catch and now the 3rd and 20. If you go back further we have "The Catch", the 0-21 five minute start against the Niners in 1994, The Jackie Smith drop in Super Bowl XIII and I could go on and on.

What makes it so frustrating is that in so many of the games we were the superior team only to find a new way to lose. What is going on here and how can we get back to the point where things start to go our way? There is no way we can go into our next playoff game without thinking we are snake-bit. Now Dak is 0-1 in the playoffs and with one more loss, he will be labeled as a choker too. I am so ready for the post-season black cat to leave the room.

You're an actual person?

All this time I thought you were a bot.

Has the doom and gloom crowd gone away yet...do we have to put up with this all off season....

Dak brought this team back from 18 points down, and went toe to toe with the great AR....the defense did not do their job, and you want to say Dak will be called a choker....

Going to be a long off season on here with the haters coming back out.

 

[zrinkill]

Ok ......... feel better now OP?

 

[bayeslife]

No one is going to label Dak as a choker if he goes out drives for 31 points and loses again due to the defense.

This is how it is every off season. It's why I usually take a few month vacation from here until draft time.

 

[Leadbelly]

Except for the part where we're one of the winningest teams in post season history.

Rant Zone?

Right.
It is why I haven't posted much since the game. And skimmed over many of threads. I figure better I don't read that crap and better to hold back on some things I may post in response. LOL.

Romo has the highest 4th quarter qb rating in history. His qb rating in December is higher than it is in any other month. At the conclusion of the 2014 season he had more 4th quarter comeback wins than any other active qb.

Despite all that Romo was labeled a choker by outside media and even OUR fans.

So yeah it could happen to Dak.

Wouldn't it be nice to end the season on a high note?

Need a sample size of more than 1 playoff loss in his rookie season.

The only way that happens will be to win the SB....then there will be those that whine....

I/m not saying that I will call Dak a choker, I never thought Tony Romo was one either but the media will jump on it soon if Dak doesn't have post-season success. I'm saying that to get this choker moniker off our franchise we need to take advantage of our situation. This year we had the best team in the NFC with HFA and it made no difference. How do we turn the tide because the Browns have been trying since the 70s and haven't been able to do it either?

It only took one for the label to stick to Tony Romo

True, But that record was achieved between 1965 and 1995. The Browns were big winners in the 50s and 60s too. I'm talking about turning this faltering postseason nightmare we have seen since 1995 in a new direction.

Romo got (unfairly) labeled a choker because of the Seattle game and because of a tenancy to throw game ending INT's earlier in his career. That isn't Dak, and the media isn't treating him as such.

Well that would be a good way to weed out the agenda driven people from the true fans. Whoever whines after winning a Lombardi needs help....

Dak's record in elimination games is 0 and 1.

I'm not trying to be doom and gloom but it's always something with this team so how can I feel otherwise until I see some new results consistently. When the Patriots and Steelers get to the playoffs good things seem to happen more often than not. Same with the Giants and Packers most years. I just want us to prove Stephen A Smith wrong and yet we keep proving him right.
