Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, sucks more than losing a super bowl.

I was physically sick for several days after we lost SB13.

Try living past the Ice Bowl.

This year hardly registers as one of the "biggest disappointments" in Dallas history...and if it does that means your too young to remember what REAL PAIN is!

Exactly............

Wow.... these "disappointment" threads are getting popular lately :mad:


For me... its the NFC championship game that we lost to 49ers w/ Steve Young. He should thank Emmitt everyday when he sits next to him.

For me... if the Giants lose I hope they get pummeled. Living in NY I will enjoy that. If its close then I will have to hear some smack talk.... I hope the Pats break their 3 margin of victory tradition in SB's this sunday.

If they Patriots lose then I will be happy that they lose the perfect season bid.

I dont think I have ever been so torn in my entire life.

I don't think losing a Superbowl is the worse thing to happen to the Dallas Cowboys. Maybe if they had never won one I would change my thinking. If I were a Bills fan, I would point to that as the most disappointing thing. Dallas has won them before, so it takes the sting out of losing one.

I distinctly remember when they lost SB13. Sucked, but not the worse feeling because they won the year before. I thought the following season felt worse because Dallas had essentially the same team and could not even beat the Rams in the division round. The Cowboys should have been back in SB14 playing the Steelers, but instead got sent home by a not so great Rams team. That is more disappointing than about anything.

Getting to the Superbowl means the team did accomplish something. Not getting close like this year and in 1979 when they have a very good team is more disappointing in my opinion than losing the Superbowl. Even that is not as disappointing as going 5-11 for three straight years.

Losing is the worst and the biggest disappointment of them all. Even when expectations are not that great, it still sucks to see the team you root for having losing seasons. I will take this year over any of those seasons when the team had no direction. Sure I would take a Superbowl winning team over anything else, but this year is much better than some of the worse alternatives I have seen Dallas go through.

If anybody would rather go through three straight 5-11 seasons over losing a Superbowl then you need to go see a therapist. But wait your turn, I am still in my session.

Almost the same team. Ed Too Tall Jones had "retired" to pursue a boxing career so we were missing one of our star players on defense.

We still should never have lost that game though. I hate Billy Waddy! :bang2:

That game just never felt real. The whole time I thought I was dreaming. Of course I was sick with the flu that weekend. Dallas really never showed up. The worst way to say goodbye to Roger Staubach.
