You May Find This to Be True

[plasticman]

Hopefully not.

It's exciting to have one of the best teams again, the potential has created so much hope.

It's obviously a great feeling when your Cowboys win the Super Bowl. However, let me warn you about the reverse.

The closer you get to a Super Bowl championship before your Cowboys lose, the worse it hurts, particularly when it's really close.

Super Bowl losses and conference championship losses hurt far more than divisional and wildcard playoff losses.

The narrowes margins of defeat hurt far more than a blowout because, hey, if they got their butts whooped then the other team was clearly better. However, when you know they lost by a single play, a single action, that play lives on forever.

Close Super Bowl losses linger like any horrifying memory.

And every single time the Cowboys have lost a championship it has been really REALLY close.

...two losses to the Packers on the last play

.....a 3 point Super Bowl loss to the Colts on a last minute field goal.

.....two 4 point Super Bowl losses to the Steelers.

The Cowboys have lost 5 NFL championship games, every single one by 7 points or less. Before Super Bowl 25, the three closest games in Super Bowl history were the 3 that the Cowboys lost.

The Cowboys have won 5 NFL championship games, every single one by double digits.

The Dallas Cowboys have never been lucky, quite often they have been unlucky. Therefore, they can only win a Super Bowl by dominating leaving nothing to chance

The Cowboys average margin of victory for their five SB victories is 20 points, the total combined margins of victory for the Patriots is 13.

Why is this all true? The answer is simple. The Dallas Cowboys are God's team. That's right. God loves the Dallas Cowboys.

Now, you may have noticed by reading the bible that when God loves you, it's not a guaranteed ticket to a life of ease, luxury and pleasure. God doesnt want to appear to play favorites so he's got to be tougher on the ones he loves. He places certain "trials" on those he loves.

I mean, if they don't get eaten by lions in the Roman arena then they are being crucified, They might end up getting swallowed by a whale or their old lady gets turned into a pillar of salt.

He has a sense of humor so you could get punked.. "Hey Abe, you know that son that took 500 years for me to give you, yeah, kill him to prove you love me."

Then in Abraham's most traumatic, painful moment,

"Yo, Abe! Pysch, LOL, you were going to do it too!"

So, it's tough being Gods favorite team, the Cowboys dont get breaks during the game, not the good kind, at least. To win championships the Cowboys have to be unquestionably the best team. That is their "trial" and we fans suffer as a result.

I'm not trying to depress you and I am not jinxing the team. As I explained, I dont have too if I wanted.

It's all part of the package when your team is a great one.

Will God let a rookie QB win the SB...or even play in one?

Cuz it's never been done before.

 

[Sepia]

That... went in a direction I wasn't expecting.

 

[haleyrules]

The Cowboys have a real shot for the first time in years. Thats the most important thing. This club will win a SB ...maybe not this years...but in the very near future (next year) Hope is what keeps us going.

 

[haleyrules]

lol. Too much Christmas Eggnog.

it will happen at some point, why not now......before we did it, a wild card team had never played in a super bowl at the time.

Agree with the premise of the bigger the game, the more a loss hurts and yes the losses by a play here or there are the worst.
Perhaps equally as grinding are the big game losses that you view as tainted by an refs call or non call.
Almost every older cowboys fan will tell you that Lynn swain was not interfered with. Hate the steelers to this day.
See the dez non catch for reference and then imagine that was the super bowl

You know the old saying my friend. " Better to have played and lost than not to have played at all"....It hurts but one team must lose.

 

[fifaguy]

Hurts more never to be in the game then to get close to winning it all and losing...

 

[fishspill]

Good point, close hurts more. But man it's a great ride.

I wonder how many rookies really had a good chance.

Marino and who else?

If I'm not mistaken, didn't our very own Mark Sanchez come pretty close in 2009? Also, I think Kaepernick in 2011?

I was thinking it was Kap's 2nd season. I'm probably wrong

you are correct.....49rs lost the NFCC to the Giants and we all know how that ended up! lol

[jazzcat22]

it will happen at some point, why not now......before we did it, a wild card team had never played in a super bowl at the time.

Same with that old thing...an 0-2 team never made it to the SB let alone won it...we did...
Another one was the team with the leading rusher never won a SB...we did it with Emmitt....
As you said, wild card team...we did it.....

Never won 3 SB's in a row, we should have, the refs screwed us on that Deion arm bar on Irvin.....doesn't mean we would have won, but it made a difference in the game...
We were the 1st team to win 3 SB's in 4 years.

So why not a rookie QB....let's go do that one too.....

Love the biblical references. That said, it's the pain that makes the joy relevant. If it never rained thre wouldn't be anything special about those pretty, sunny days. We've had enough rain for a while, we're due some sunny days!
