As they say on Wall Street "The trend is your friend, until the end when it bends".
Dallas has been in a "channel" for nearly 30 years.
27 years since they won a divisional game
30 years since they won a playoff game on the road against a team with a winning record.
This is very similar to the Philadelphia Eagles who from 1981 - 2000 did not have a divisional playoff win (Wild Card only).
Under those crappy coachs (Buddy Ryan, Rich Kotite, Ray Rhodes) The Eagles never did anything past a wild card win.
It wasn't until Andy Reid changed that the trend broke and then the Eagles became a serious contender many times over the next two decades.
It would be nice to see McCarthy to just break the damn trend and get Dallas out of this wild card " channel"
