Nobody makes the playoffs as much as the Cowboys

[john van brocklin]

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!!

Yes, I am coming to the realization that I will probably never see the cowboys win another sb
Most likely will never even see a sb appearance.
As long as we insist on poor GMs running this team we are at too much of a competitive disadvantage.
But, I am thankful for the many great memories.

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.

No question. Jerry did make some good business decisions to help the Cowboys and the NFL be more profitable. That is why he’s in the HOF.

But Jerry bought Americas Team, not the Browns.

Yes, the Cowboys were losing money in the 80s when he bought the team. But again, he bought a brand that was already the shiniest coin in the NFL. This is one of the most loyal fan bases in the country.

I just get annoyed when anyone acts like Jerry made the Cowboys great. He certainly deserves some credit. But the team had already won 20 playoff games before he got here.

Depends on your age. If you are as old as me then it’s entirely possible we won’t . But if you can outlive Jethro and maybe Stephen too our chances will increase .

The Cowboys playoff berth stats are heavily front-loaded. Not so much on the backend. I’m fortunate to have experienced most of the frontend. I feel for those fans trapped in the desert.

Cowboys negative cash flow at the time was completely overblown. That was the norm back then as many NFL teams didn’t generate positive cash flows while their net worth continued increasing .

A franchise that while having a neg cash flow of about a million a month still increased value in 5 years Bum Bright owned them from 84 million to 140 million.

Yeah maybe but it’s the chunky one all the way at the end that barely gets in the photo.
