Sad Win Stat

[EGTuna]

Here’s some food for thought. Or a better way to put it, some food to assist in eating your feelings.

The last 3 times the Cowboys have won a road game vs an opponent that was 3 or more games above .500:

2017: Meaningless 6-0 win vs 13-2 Eagles that had clinched the #1 seed.

2010: Jason Garrett’s first game as a head coach the 1-7 Cowboys beat the 6-3 Giants.

2009: This was the last meaningful win o. the road when Dallas went into New Orleans and beat a 12-0 Saints team.

It’s been THIRTEEN YEARS since the Cowboys beat a team on the road that was 3 or more games above .500. that actually meant something.

Long story short, the Vikes are a lock.

This is the NFL. Every win is a meaningful win except preseason games. It's hard to win games at this level of football.

The past is not a predictor of the future. Different teams, on both sides, different coaches, different circumstances.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

To top it off, Dak already said this has the feeling of a “playoff game” so that’s another additional jinxed L added to the column. We’re on the road in a cold environment against the top team in the NFL.


We’re doomed.

No such thing as sad win. All wins are good. Sad thing about this team is...

Same owners/teambuilders

And on Monday it'll be one day.

Cowboys! right in your face.

Yeah your past means nothing about what you'll do in the future.

Uhhh, the game is going to be inside a domed stadium. Temperature controlled. No cold weather for the game on the field.

Ladies and gents, don't get your wallets and purses out just yet. Let me save you some money.

This is what I call a situational statistic. Sort of like being 195-0 going into the 4th quarter with a 14 point lead. Yet Dallas lost plenty with a 14 point lead in the 4th.

Cowboys have beaten teams on the road that ended the season 3 games over .500, just not when they were 3 games over.

In 2014 the Cowboys beat the 3-1 Seahawks. The seahawks ended the season 12-4 and went to the Super Bowl. There are other examples, but they don't fit the criteria.
