What's the difference between three 5-11 seasons/three 8-8 seasons?

[Future]

Means we got lucky in three games this year....Should have lost to Minnesota, Giants and Washington

Should've beaten Denver, Det, GB, KC,

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

One thing not yet mentioned, those three 5-11's got us some drastic change in forcing the owner to get a strong head coach. All three 8-8's has gotten us is reshuffling of deck chairs and status quo.

That is sorta of my point. Correct.

That's what I was going to say. In Dallas, those 8-8's allow the owner to continue the status quo.

Yes. The latter is hurting us.



This thread was not to stir the pot. It was to point out what you guys just mentioned.

I'd prefer to finish 5-11 and get the better draft pick if we're not going to make the playoffs.

Denver was toying with us......So was Green Bay. Detroit under achieved all season.....yet found a way to beat us. We were lucky to be 8-8. Reality is...we should have been 4-12.

If you say "us", why do you have a Denver avatar?

Why do we have 'What's the difference" threads between crap teams/seasons?

There is no 'difference'. It's a common denominator that's a constant.

Green Bay toyed with us? They were down 26-3.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Why should we have beaten Denver? We never had that game in hand. I'll give you Detroit and Green Bay.

We were ahead late, ergo we should have won

Nevermind the floatyturd. It's best just to flush again.

Boise St Logo.

There not in direct competition with Dallas.

 

[DABOYZ]

The only difference is 3 wins and the fact that we miss out on higher draft picks. Either way we are still sitting at home watching the playoffs year after year.

I feel we are closer to 9-7 than 7-9.

The question that should be asked is whats the difference between 8-8 and 9-7. We all know the answer to that.

 

[JBS]

The difference is Jerry.

He's slowly but surely figuring this thing out. Improving his GMing abilities-really working hard at his craft.

Give him another 10 years and he might get us to three straight 11-5 seasons, If my math is correct.

Answer: Tony Romo.

5-11 brings changes, 8-8 makes Jerry think that we're close (even though we're no where near close), and no changes come of it.
