Nobody makes the playoffs as much as the Cowboys

[JoeKing]

This thread is about the playoffs not marketing.

You're the one that brought up salesmen. At least I brought up the players that are to blame.

Iggles? No one around here gives a crap about the Iggles.

That's not totally true. There are a few low football IQ, mouth breathing cowards who pretend to be Cowboys fans around here and they care very much about the Eagles.

We need to make some 37&6 t-shirts.

 

[Diehardblues]

Just goes to show how good the Landry and Johnson teams were.

Yep. If we hadn’t been to the playoffs in 21st century Cowboys would still be in top 10 all time .

Cowboys are very poor salesmen.

Can't close the deal.

They just won the award for best PR team in the league!

 

[GORICO]

but only 4 playoff wins since 1996....so we better get back as America's Team or get left in dust

What’s our % the last 30 years?
Asking for a friend…..

 

[JoeKing]

That stat just shows how many opportunities we've blow.

 

[Diehardblues]

The fact that the eagles made it all the way up to 6th is insane. We were probably ranked low 20’s before 2000

Thanks to Reid and McNabb. And can thank that Dallas was down .

Last 30 years
96, 98,99, 03,06,07,09,14,16,18,21,22,23

13 divided by 30= 43%

First 35 years
23 playoffs divided by 35= 66%

You're the one that brought up salesmen.

Because bad salemen can't close the deal.

Exactly as I said.

Great!

Again, this thread is about on the field.

Thanks for the stats !
Looks like quite the drop off under our current GM.

From 1966-1995 the Cowboys went to 17 championship games including 2 NFL title games and 8 Super Bowls .

Last 30 … none of the above .

That’s what really separates the 2 eras or time frames .

In that era we basically went to Championship games more often than we go to playoffs this era. Wow!!

 

[big dog cowboy]

GREAT movie.

Exactly as I said.

The bad salesmen metaphor doesn't apply to the Cowboys. You don't listen. It's the players to blame. When will you get it? Stop embarrassing yourself.

Nice reference

For others we can also consider 20th vs 21st century

Nobody will understand your reference.

As Roscoe P Coaltrain used famously say: " Coot coot coot !!!"

SOME PERSPECTIVE:

• Between 1960-1988 the Cowboys made the playoffs 18 times in 29 years, winning 20 playoff games, which meant they made the playoffs 62% of their time before Jerry owned the Cowboys.
• That means the Cowboys made the playoffs 18 times before Jerry bought the team and
• The Cowboys also won 20 of their 36 playoff wins before Jerry.
• In the Jerry era- 1989-2025, the Cowboys made the playoffs 18 times in 38 years. Under Jerry the team has won 16 playoff games in 38 seasons, and only 5 since their last SB in 1995.
• In the Jones era, the Cowboys have made the playoffs 18 times out of 38 seasons- about 47% of their time.

The Cowboys were Americas Team a long time before Cowboys fans had ever heard the name Jerry Jones.

And that is the real reason why they are worth 15 & a half billion. They would be worth more if Jerry had gotten the hell out of the way and the team won another SB somewhere along the way.
