Just not in post season?I enjoy winning games
Just not in post season?I enjoy winning games
As long as the players have fun.Just not in post season?
Thing is, the goal should be clear at any time, even when there are a lot of steps to take beforehand. You don't go in "but regular season wins first". You say something in the likes of "we wanna do absolutely better than last year. Need to get into the play offs first, but this time we wanna make some noise in post season too".I didn’t read his comments that way at all.
The way the comments read to me. Is him just saying we need to win each week in the regular season first.
As fans, yes. We can focus on the playoffs and wanting to get further.
But the players and coaches shouldn’t take everything for granted and they need to go win regular season games first before they even chance a chance to get further in the playoffs.
A “look over there, but not over here” take from Mike.
Would you rather win 12 games, get the 2 seed, and be the 1st team to ever lose to a 7 seed in the Wild Card game?
Or
Sneak into the playoffs at 9-8 and make a Super Bowl run?
Your 12 win seasons mean nothing. All we got from them is a Wild Card win against the 8-9 Bucs.
Once again -Some of you are never happy just enjoy every game that comes and stop stressing about the playoffs until they get here. Life goes on either way.

Nobody is misreading it. It's a loser take. It fits right in with both the culture and the results this century of the Dallas Cowboys.This is clearly what he’s saying.
OP and others are misunderstanding him - perhaps intentionally, so they have something to complain about.
And some of the fans, just look at this thread, eat that loser talk up.Nobody is misreading it. It's a loser take. It fits right in with both the culture and the results this century of the Dallas Cowboys.
That has nothing to do with anything bro. You took a pretty standard response and did all the mental gymnastics you could to find a way to have a problem with it.Enjoy your 12 wins and Wild Card defeat, bro!
while not being tired, that matters too apparentlyAs long as the players have fun.
That’s all that matters.

McCarthy appreciates your support.
It’s worse.MM is in sell mode. The objective of the season is to improve going into the playoffs and then win. A season with no playoffs wins isn't much better than not making the playoffs at all.

It’s the easiest it’s ever been to make the playoffs in NFL.Or
Miss the playoffs entirely by prematurely worrying about a playoff run. Thats MM's point... making the playoffs, playoff runs or Superbowl wins aint easy or a given.
You should switch teams from the Eagles to the Cardinals/Panthers/Raiders then. You'll get all the top picks you can handle and you won't have to worry about a 12 win season there either.It’s worse.
I’d rather have a top draft pick than a 12 win season just to lose in the Wild Card game.
No one is content watching other teams compete come playoff time, but if it was up to a lot of fans here that’s all the Cowboys would ever do because fans here want the team to tank for a high draft pick every year. As soon as we lose a couple of games, they want us to tank. There’s fans already talking about wanting the team tank in 2024. You have fans that say they would rather go 5-12 than 12-5 if it means another one and done. They see no difference in sitting home for the playoffs than making the playoffs and losing. The goal every year is to make the playoffs to give yourself a chance at reaching the Super Bowl.He sounds just like a lot of folks on here.
They don't really understand what the goal of the season should be. Just wanna have some "happy" moments throughout the regular season then content watching other teams compete come playoff time.
All 4 of those teams have more success than the Cowboys since 1996.You should switch teams from the Eagles to the Cardinals/Panthers/Raiders then. You'll get all the top picks you can handle and you won't have to worry about a 12 win season there either.
