Just another recap \ rehash of the unsatisfactory playoff history since the end of the previous century through the first two decades of the current one; Cowboys fans know it by heart \ have it burned into their brains.
Still jarring to see the numbers in print, however.

You are correct, the question is will Jerry continue his ways or will he decide to clean house, I have a feeling with the players it’s business as usual but unless a miracle happens MM is gone

Some key quotes from the article:
  • “Since 1996, Dallas is 0-7 in the Divisional Round, worst in the NFL in that span, according to NFL Research.”
  • ”During the aforementioned Lombardi-filled run of 1992-1995, the Cowboys were 10-1 in the playoffs overall.“
  • Dating back again to 1996, the Cowboys are 5-13 in the playoffs overall. No other club has double-digit playoff losses with five or fewer wins in that span, per NFL Research.”
Our players and coaches have taken a lot of heat from our fan base over the last 3 decades. And a lot of it they do bear some responsibility. Romo, Dak, and many others have certainly failed at the most important times.

But the most fire should be aimed at Jerry and son. They have made every hire, every draft pick, every trade, managed and mis-managed the salary cap, and have the absolute and final say about what happens with this team.

One sad reason so much heat is aimed at the players and coaches by some fans is because the guys at the top refuse to be accountable for their failures. Its mind numbing.

I think they took a group of posts and threads on here and condensed it. :laugh:

It’s certainly low hanging fruit.

To use an analogy about how Jerry mostly escapes responsibility for the mess he’s created…He’s like a father who has a bunch of kids (the players) who are rarely disciplined, he’s hired a nanny to watch them but has little say (head coach) then blames the nanny and the kids for the kids’ failures.

In answer to the question of whether the window has closed on this team getting to a Super Bowl or not, the answer is wait and see! :muttley:
Thanks oodles, for such a noteworthy answer! That's the answer I already figured out for myself, before seeing through that window! :facepalm:

Get the trenches back to dominating , both OL and DL at the same time , we can cross the hurdle.

Look at some of the recent play off losses ( Div round) , Romo was hounded by Minny DL lead by Jared Allen, we got run over by Rams (200 plus yards ) ,SF gave us a beating in the last 2 years before, andlast year , GB did the same and Jones ran all over us.

We need a physical team who will battle and not take a beating . Playoffs are all about that. Even Vaunted KC offense lead by superb Mahomes could not over come playoff hurdle, until they got a good D , with players like Chris jones.

Don’t disagree with you here. Fixing the trenches, especially on defense now. But the memo should be hand delivered to the man in the owner’s box who still thinks all you need are skill position triplets. He’s a fantasy football guy playing GM.
