Winning a Super Bowl shouldn't be the goal

[big dog cowboy]

Winning one Super Bowl doesn't mean a lot if they can't sustain it past one season.

It does when you can't get out of the wild card round. It does when you look at the last 30 years of failure.

If you want greatness, go look at the chiefs.

I said it.
Winning one Super Bowl doesn't mean a lot if they can't sustain it past one season.
If they achieve greatness, the Super Bowl wins will come. Opposing teams will fear playing them. Fans will respect them and cheer them on.
But to be a flash in the pan in today's NFL, they do that every season. Always hyped to be more than they are, only to be exposed and humiliated when they faced a real team.
What good is that?

Ask the Lions if they feel the same way as you.

You'd be surprised....most don't even mention SBs....it's all conference championship games....

That is only brought up because they cant even get to that. Every team in the NFC has been to at least one NFCCG since 2010, except for Jerrys Cowboys. They havent even been that far in 29 years.
Its not the goal but you have to get there to get to a SB.

Some think it's all about a Super Bowl, and that's all that matters. Mortgage the team's future for just one season in which they get to do all of the interviews and reap all of the glory.
But if the Cowboys want to be the franchise that made the world fall in love with them, greatness is the goal.
But that is something this franchise apparently doesn't understand. From Jason Garrett saying "Be great today", to Dak Prescott promising to win Jerry a championship, all the way to the circus atmosphere and sales hype from Jerry's ringleader business model, it is clear that there is no one in the building that understands how or what greatness is.
It can't be spoken. It can't be bought. Fancy uniforms don't make a team great. A big stadium doesn't make a team great- although it helps. From the sounds of the interviews and the manner in which this franchise has been run for the past 20 years, it's clear they have no idea what "greatness" really is.
But that is what the Cowboys should be striving for.With greatness, Super Bowls are simply a by product.
But, here's the secret: Greatness can only be ACHIEVED, if they know how.

Greatness is winning SBs. The 90's Bills got to four of them in a row and lost all of them.
Only their fans might call that a great team. Some others who probably are fans of teams like the Browns might agree.

So see, GREATNESS IS ABOUT WINNING IT ALL

If winning just one Super Bowl is your only goal you will never achieve greatness.
If achieving greatness is your goal you will win more than one Super Bowl if you can achieve it.

Almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. If those aren't your game then you want The Trophy!

Each year the best teams take their very best shot. Everything is geared in that direction.

When you're constantly obsessed with getting the best bang for your buck the hay is in the barn before training camp starts.

Booger "best bang for your buck" spells continual mediocrity.

It's gonna be a LONG off-season.

You have to get to the playoffs first. We were in the previous 3 years....fans will always whine....hell, we can win a SB and the whiners will find something to beech about.

I've seen 4 Cowboys Super Bowl victories and never seen beeching over any of the them. But yes, 4 wildcard wins in 29 years is something to be excited about.

Uh, we'd have a Lombardi, so it'd be worth it.
