How soon we forget how bad our offenses were in the early part of this decade. Yikes...

 

[poke]

i would have thought with all the rule changes scoring would have averaged higher in the last 2 decades.

League scoring has gone up. This is for the Cowboys only.

No kidding, in 2002 we averaged 13.6 PPG. That whole season, our entire offense, passing and rushing combined, had 4375 yards. Right now Romo is on pace for 4433 yards. We threw 14 TDs that season.

Those may not be a totally useless stats. Remember before this season started, the Cowboys site had a top 50 players of all time. Eatman and Ellis were trying to reason why the older writers and fans favored players from the 60's and 70's while they favored players from the 90's. They came to the conclusion that the deciding factor was which players you grew up watching. I wonder if they would come to the same conclusion looking at the avg. points per decade. Those 60's and 70's teams were pretty good from what I can remember.

We have to go 10-6 this season to avoid having our first losing decade correct?

So technically 11-5, to have an above-.500 decade?

That is correct.

I can't wait for this decade to end.

Yeah, this has been a sorry decade.

[jobberone]

That is correct.

I'm in no hurry. I don't have many decade(s) left.

 

[goliadmike]

That is correct.

The great 1970s and 1990s
The bad 1960s, 1980s, and 2000s

I guarantee the two thousand teens will be our decade!!

And if you looking for trends well we had 2 superbowl wins in the 70's and 3 in the 90's... sooooo we should have 4 between 2010 and 2020!

worst decade in franchise history?

 

[Monster Heel]

worst decade in franchise history?

First time the team doesn't likely do as much as make a conference championship and at this rate win a playoff game.

So, easily.

 

[Hostile]

worst decade in franchise history?

Not a doubt about it in my mind.

 

[SkinsFan28]

That is correct.

I think your sentiment is shared by every Commander fan in the world.

Your decade may have been bad, but ours :bang2:
