I also said a failed playoff run is a failed playoff run. Unless you win the SB your playoff run was a failure. You of all people should know that considering how long your SB winning drought has been.

It's an argument about who the better loser is. But to be fair, with 31 out of 32 teams being a loser every year, we aren't left with much.

I'd rather lose in the SB than in the wildcard round.

Like did any of you plays sports? Of course you want to advance as far as possible. I don't understand how this is even a debate.

I can’t think of anything more painful in sports than losing in the final. Give me a hard pass on that.

No kidding. I guess when your favorite team or city haven’t been to very many Championships you grasp at any success you can.

If I listened to him or attempted to watch him for 45 minutes my head would explode.

I played sports and in my day there were winners and losers. Everyone wasn’t celebrated like they won the Championship when in fact they lost. I mean why even keep score? Just play the game for 3 hours with no score and everyone can go home happy.


There is a difference between celebrating and being happy that you dont begin the season hopeless like Browns, Jaguars or Cowboys.

Still none of you answered the question, why do you watch the Cowboys games when you know you wont win the super bowl?

Option A
Nine 0 and 17 seasons followed by a SB win
Option B
Ten seasons making the SB and losing them all.
Give me option A all day.


Give me a franchise that wins the super bowl every year. or better yet I'll just become a part time fan of whichever team won most recently.

Cowboys fans need collective education in false dichotomy.

The new Cowboy fans don't want to look into the mirror when it applies to their team or even talk about them and admit it. They would just rather trash their rivals and other teams so they don't have to answer any questions about their own team.

Yeah I also found it odd in a thread about Cowboys half the posts are about Niners, large serving of copium for sure.

I didn't watch last night and I am sure that overall ratings are in the gutter this season.

When there are playoff hopes? That is a chance at a Super Bowl. Even if the chance is slim it is there.

Outside of that many watch just for fantasy reasons.

I dont think even the most braindead Cowboys fans think they will go to playoffs or win the super bowl.

Game thread was pretty active yesterday, especially with those who say it is meaninngless when you dont win the super bowl. That's actually the definition of irony.

49ers whole team was CMC who is on his last season, if you're lucky this is his last season. Maybe last year was it. After that? You're staring at a closed window just like Dallas is.

You celebrating a Super Bowl loss is literally you "COPING" with that reality.

I think you are confused, I am not sure what Niners have to do with a thread that literally says "State of Cowboys Union". Even if I was coping this wouldnt be the thread.

And please refer me to the person that celebrated a super bowl loss. Or do we need a lesson in false dichotomy?
