The Dallas Cowboys don't need extra outside noise?

[SteveTheCowboy]

I was reading an article about our Cowboys...."cowboys don't need extra outside noise"....

I found a startling fact....


"The Cowboys — a team that’s won three playoff games since 1996 "....


I mean we all know our foibles. Heartaches and heartbreaks and let downs. Sometimes ad nauseum. And I don't want this to become a hate fest (no really).

It's just something that I've not really seen or thought about like that. Yes...I've seen the "Cowboys...losing for 25+ years".

3,,,,,playoff games.....since 1996.

Yup. It's been pretty pitiful.

 

[shabazz]

Yup, but our starting QB has one of the 3 wins and it only took 6 of those 25 years

This the Cowboys year!

It’s embarrassing…..yet they keep dragging us back in. I find it funny that when it falls apart in big games it falls apart big time. Through multiple HC’s, players, etc. I don’t see that with other teams. It’s like a curse or too much pressure. I prefer to go on the road myself

 

[maryquality]

Very sad, indeed.

 

[Vtwin]

They must not be counting the bye week in 2007.

With a little luck we'll be at 4 after this season. Or 5 if you're counting the bye week in 2007.

A curse, you say? Three playoff wins since 1996, the same year this became the official mascot. Coincidence?

Wade always said we won the bye week

That’s why prefer to be on the road. I think they focus better and our crowd sucks generally unless it’s a night game and they are lubed up. Leave that goofy mascot at home

We’ve won three playoff games since 2009.

We were in a drought from 1997-2008.

For some reason everyone includes the drought when framing recent history.

Why not say “X playoff wins since 2009”, or better yet, “X playoff wins since 1990”. Everyone uses 1996 because it makes it sound as bad as possible.

Long rough last couple decades for this once perennial NFL power house

JJ sold his soul for the ‘95 championship and we will not win another one until he’s gone unfortunately

because it has been bad. Very bad

because it has been bad. Very bad

Yet people still have an unquenched thirst to make it sound worse than it is.

Or...It's taken this long for the rest of the NFC to adjust since since Dallas won 19 straight NFC Easts with Tom Landry...even with Jerry pushing to allow free agency even though Dallas held advantages in the old system!

Because that is the last year we won the super bowl. Since our last super bowl in 1996 we have won three playoff games. That is bad.

You should put your application in for press secretary.

Did we win any playoff games between 1997-2008? Simple question.

It's not about "making us look as bad as possible"> It's about the truth. Can ya handle it?

It a spin worthy of it!

 

[MonsterD]

Yeah I knew that fact already, I don't even get excited like when the team goes 11-4 because I am still thinking that in the playoffs they are one and done.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Again...it's NOT about :making it sound worse than it is".

It's just a plain simple fact.

You act like we were disqualified or didn't compete for a playoff spot. We had every opportunity to play for and win a playoff game in those years and failed.
