State Of Cowboys Union; Today And The last 30 years. Where do the Cowboys have it all wrong and where is it going?

We don’t celebrate losing. Are Cowboys fans extremely optimistic and in many cases delusional? Absolutely. You won’t see Cowboys fans beating their chest celebrating getting beat in the playoffs like you guys here are doing though.

Maybe you forgot how it works since 1996, but as the fan of a team, that has won a Super Bowl fairly recently, let me explain to you that you need to win a conference championship to get a chance at winning a Super Bowl. And to win a conference championship you need to win enough games to make it to the conference championship game. By not even making it there, a team is missing some very important steps on the way to winning a Super Bowl.

This is nonsense. lol
A team making the conference final decades ago gives them no advantage to making it in the future years.

But it is an advantage though? Because every Super Bowl winner is also a conference champion in the current year.

Well sure this year whoever wins the conference game is looking good. But looking at the past we know that some were meaningless. Like Jacksonville.

One step closer than the Cowboys got since 1996.

100 percent completely meaningless.
Both teams failed.
You must be attempting to troll at this point because your argument is kind of silly. You’re better then this.

Just amazing that the fans of a team that last played in a conference championship during Bill Clinton's first month as US president is calling others losers.

I can’t put it more simple than this. Losing at any point in the playoffs means you failed. You did not win a title if you lost in the playoffs. Doesn’t matter when you lost you still lost.

I've never made it to the Olympics so I'm on the same level as every silver medalist in Olympic history.

They are a Conference CHAMPION. That means they won the game. You don’t get celebrated or get the same accolades for losing the Conference game as you do for winning it. The same applies to the SB. Only 1 team gets a trophy. You don’t get a trophy or a banner for losing the SB.

There are no “One step closer” banners. I can’t go to Google and type in “One step closer winners” and get a list of teams. No one cares about almost getting there.

Another horrible example
Winning medals is a goal.
The 4th and tenth are the same though.

What's the difference between winning a silver medal and winning the conference championship but not the Super Bowl?

If you told Olympic silver medalists that you got as far as them in winning a gold medal, I think they might disagree.

The better analogy is two people testing to get licensed. They both fail and can not reapply. Does it really matter which one was closer? Can one troll the other? They both failed.

Did one of them get a minor license as a result?

Considering nobody except for Cowboys fans makes this weird ricky bobby argument, this is obviously a coping mechanism just for one fanbase.

That makes no sense. lol
I’ve admitted the cowboys suck for neatly 3 decades.
It’s horrible. How is that coping?
I think you throw around that term without really understanding it.

Do you think Usain Bolt would be ok getting Silver and would be beating his chest about not winning Gold? How do you think Michael Phelps would feel if he got Silver or Bronze? Do you think he’s celebrating and telling everyone “it’s just as good as winning Gold!” Or “I was only 1 or 2 steps away from Gold so it’s just like winning”.

Because they have zero shot at winning a title this year. Why would I cheer for them to “almost make the playoffs”? Restock the team with better draft picks. It’s not rocket science.

No they both failed. Why is that so hard to understand?
