Patriots surpass Cowboys in all-time playoff victories

[lukin2006]

36 all-time playoff victories for them. 35 for us.

20 years ago we had 32 and they had 7.

How sad is that...

They’re likely to pass the one Cowboys record most thought would never be broken. Consecutive winning seasons from 1965-1985. Patriots currently 2000-2018.

Records are meant to be broken unfortunately

But Jerry keeps saying he has a superbowl team. Thanks for the last 20 years Jerry

There was a day long ago (mid 1990s) where the Cowboys owned every single record that mattered like that - Playoff victories, Winning %, Superbowls, etc etc

Fast forward 23 years later, and I'm actually surprised to find out the Cowboys still held any of these records anymore.

This is one they didn't own. The Patriots just passed the Cowboys, but they need to win the Super Bowl to pass the Steelers.

Awful. That completely irrelevant franchise from a part of the country that produces no football talent gets saved by an unproven HC and a 6th rd draft pick......unbelievable

Actually they got saved by an owner who understands that he shouldn’t screw with a good thing. The Dallas Cowboys suffer because at some point some sorry moron told Jerry Jones that he had a sound football mind. What you saw yesterday was what having great coaching does for a team. Look at who the Patriots have on defense and tell me how they are able to get that sort of consistent pressure on the QB?

Yep, most of our great records are from the now distant past. Hats off to Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and their great teams...

Bring back Barry Switzer.

Yes! he was only retired for 7 years when we hired him the first itme. He should be 3x better after a 21 year layoff.

Shows just how far we’ve fallen when you’re encouraged by 3 trips to the playoffs in 5 seasons with two wins.
The Pats arn’t the only team we lag this century.

Well yes,I meant us in general in the league about them failing miserably over this span. It’s embarrassing to not have won a divisional round game since the 90’s,and doesn’t get enough attention to that fact. But I think you could say encouraged,or optimistic is apt when going 3 out of the last 5,instead of the 1-2 out of every 5 pace they were stuck in prior. That’s a postive trend,and honestly all we can ask with Dallas being Dallas for two decades. I’ll still complain about it,but long as we are a more frequent flier,then I can live with the circus.

How sad is that...

This is a franchise that was partying like it's 1995 after the Seattle game and literally the night before the Rams game. Meanwhile the other team was dissecting all of our tells. For a fan that spent a lot of money on a last minute trip to the game, it's more than sad, it's incredibly frustrating.

 

[glimmerman]

Well they should. They have been to the playoffs for the last 50 million years. If brady don’t retire he will break records in and for playoffs that will never be broken. Lol.

 

[Texasfootball21]

Let's just hope they don't win more Super Bowl titles than us.

 

[pansophy]

I guess I understand why Dallas is so hated then. 5 Super Bowls in the last 8 years and they just now surpassed us --- and I'm so done with the Patriots I would be happy if they never won another game and their plane crashed landing in Atlanta.

Just saying...

 

[Doomsday]

Guess that is what happens when you win 3 playoff games the last 25 years. sad

 

[aria]

Who cares about these records? I’m more concerned with the present not the past.

To me next season will tell me whether the arrow is pointing up or down.

Our last four trips to the playoffs have been followed with a season where we failed to reach the playoffs.

In addition the last two seasons where we actually won a playoff game we followed that with seasons so bad we ended with a top 10 draft pick.

So what will it be next year?

More of the same or a breakthrough?

Hey Jerry.....what nice idiots you've been

Jerry has spent over a decade trying to groom his own HC.

Even Al Davis' team has a superbowl appearance this century and he's been in the ground several years.

Only 20 years ago eh?.....sheesh

 

[Doomsdayblitz]

Coaching doesn’t matter. Yeah McDaniels would do nothing for us. Offer a brink truck for Josh after the SB!!!!!

Only if they draft Dwayne Haskins. It takes a great QB, & we don't have one.
