Note this also includes postseason game stats .......interesting




This IMO is our postseason problem(s) in a nutshell..........the draft alone WILL NOT get you pass "hanging around the rim"

https://www.golongtd.com/p/what-in-the-hell-are-the-dallas-cowboys

This is a perfect time to check back in with those on staff who helped explain Jerry’s World in our 2021 three-part series. Problems outlined then have only lingered, and it’s a shame. Prime opportunities at the Super Bowl fade away.

“It is crazy what’s going on,” one former Cowboys personnel says, “and it doesn’t ever really change.”

A failure to grasp the quarterback market. A resistance to spend money on veterans who can swiftly close that title gap. A failure to re-sign their own at the right time. And, sadly, even tales of Jerry Jones’ raunchy sexual escapades.

It all continues, year to year, and the Dallas Cowboys only burgeon their own reputation as the NFL’s preeminent underachievers.

We lucked into Dak and Romo….and nothing to show for it.

Forget that........25 plus years we still have not won another Super Bowl. It's not a Dak vs Romo thing. The common denominator here is Jerry and I think it's time we as fans start accepting it. This is from a 100% pro-Jerry fan........
Not even a conference championship..I keep telling people no matter if you’re anti Dak or ANTI Romo it’s alarming neither could get out of the first round…..people use where they were drafted as an excuse. Dalton Schultz perfectly summed up what this trans issues are snd it’s not the players….

Exactly.......both played on cheap contracts and what did we do with the extra cap, not a darn thing. This is why I don't get fans worrying about extra cap from not paying QBs. Now any other GM, yes, but Stephen has shown we can have over $200M and it won't matter.

We have had different high-level QBs, ALL-Pro, and HOFers players at various positions over the past 25+ years but STILL have the same results. It's downright silly to see fans blame Dak and Romo.

He did….and lost to the Giants and Seahawks.
To be fair, the Giants turned into a buzzsaw those playoffs that ran through everybody, including the historic Patriots. It's tough to give a division opponent credit, but that was an impressive playoff run.

Seahawks was such a misfortunate play away from winning, you truly wonder if this franchise is cursed.

Im not about to totally absolve the players. Many of them seem to just not want it .

At this point I’m open to hearing them being cursed. It sucks us fans have to suffer because we didn’t do anything to deserve it lol. Curse Jerry not us lol.

Giants won a championship but they did not play particularly well against us. Cowboys lost because they didn’t show up not because they were juggernauts….i feel that’s why Jerry didn’t make the necessary improvements to build on that team because he saw solace in losing to them.

Romo would have won a Super Bowl if he had the teams Dak has had. Factoid.
Not sure, but I do think we would have stood a better chance with him in 2016 if we'd reinserted him in the lineup (depending if his health had held up). That's not a knock against Dak. Just saying that a veteran whose last full season (2014) was his best (and one of the top ones in the league) would have given us a better chance than a rookie who was still learning.
