Where Does This Rate On Your Playoff Choke Job List*?

[SlammedZero]

*In the last 28 years

It's really high for me.

I think 2007 is my #1, but this might be my #2.

The football gods did their best to align the stars for Dallas to take advantage....and they massively failed. When the NFC East crown was looking out of reach, Philly decided to have a massive season collapse and hand over the conference. We win the NFC East. We beat Detroit to make it to the #2 seed. We get paired up with the #7 seed at home, a 9-8 Green Bay team (that was 3-6 halfway through the season). And of course, we all knew Tampa was going to beat Philly and would have come to Dallas. Two very winnable games IMO. The NFC Championship trip was there for the taking. Their answer to all this? Not only lose, but get absolutely rolled.

2007 was different bc we had a team that could in most peoples eyes get to the super bowl…this year I think we had at beast a championship game ceiling if everything went our way. We weren’t in the niners class (or even the packers for this matter lol) but in 2007 at least the giants went on to win a title.

The packers will likely get blitzed next week. We were 7 point favorites at home against a 7 seed and a team with 8 losses. This is the worst one Imo

I agree 2007 was easily # One.
This team is so soft if will take a miricle to ever make a deep playoff run.

This team is so soft if will take a miracle to ever make a deep playoff run.

#1 by far. I can’t think of a playoff loss by ANY team that looked like they were just going through the motions. It doesn’t even seem possible that an NFL team could play that bad from start to finish. This one got me to the point where I truly don’t care about them anymore, Sure I would like to see them be successful in the future but there are 3 other sports franchises in this market who at least take their profession seriously.

This is the worst for me. Some of those loses hurt more, but this is by far the biggest whole team no show performance that I can remember. The only positive about this game was that I knew at the half it was over. Games like the Romo botched snap are harder to get over because it was right there for them, but I could get back on the train no problem and find optimism for next year. As we sit here today I'm not even upset about the loss because of how poorly the entire team played, but I'm finding it very difficult to find something positive about the future outlook of the team.

2007 was not a choke job. We lost to the team that beat the 19-0 Patriots who had steam rolled the league. Not only that but a couple dropped passes from beating them. The team did not fold up tent like Sunday.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

2016 #1 seed and Green Bay had no corners. I still get sick thinking about it.

 

[Doomsday]

There has been so many in recent years I can't keep track of all of them anymore. They all just blend together.

 

[Beaker42]

At the very tippy-top.

 

[stiletto]

Got our teeth kicked in at home, vs the #7 seed after winning 17 in a row at home. Score made it look better than it was, we got destroyed. Most embarrassing to me. 2007 we lost to the eventual SB champs. Only playoff team to lose at home during the WC weekend. Totally lame.

 

[Cwby41]

At the very top and not even close. The next being the Giants loss when we were 13- 3

 

[jwitten82]

This is easily number one. We couldn't have asked for a better route to get the championship game, the conference has never been weaker and we had home field for at least two games if we won

 

[conner01]

Number 1 for me. 2016 was bad but we weren’t blown out like this. This was a major whipping from the kickoff.

 

[Mr_437]

This just adds to the collection Dak has, Romo had his too..it's a grouping of failure all stacked together.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Number 1 for me. 2016 was bad but we weren’t blown out like this. This was a major whipping from the kickoff.

We were down like 21-0 that game

This year was the worst choking ever..to get dominated the way we did by a very average team is inexcusable..2007,the only choking that was done was by stupid crayton...this year, EVERYBODY CHOKED.

 

[Jipper]

number 1, not even close.

 

[conner01]

We were down like 21-0 that game

But we came back

 

[CWR]

NUMBER ONE.

It's not even recency bias. We had a clear path to the conference championship and got boat raced by a bunch of kids, while we planned victory parties.

This team disgusts me.
