I think you throw around that term without really understanding it.

Yet, I'm still waiting to hear your solution moving forward 14 pages later. Bashing Niner and Jaguar fans is not answering the question at hand. Where do the Cowboys go from Here? Can you cope with that reality?

I gave many responses to this. Not my fault that you’re senile.
But you’re insistent that as long as Jerry is doing the grocery shopping nothing matters. Your words.
Jerry’s not selling the team. So your question seems non productive.
But I did answer this.

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”.

Phelps got a few silver and bronze medals. He probably think these are better than not having participated in the meets.

I guarantee you he doesn’t think they are better than his Gold medals.

How about the 2016 Falcons?

I'll tell you right now I'd rather lose in the WildCard round than own that legendary SB choke

I dont know if you've realized this as an adult, but when your team wins a super bowl as a fan you dont actually become a real man or earn that trophy, it is all imaginary mastubation of your mind. Sports is about entertainment and the longer your team plays the more entertainment you get, unfortunately for your fanbase most other teams have been putting more entertaining product out there.

Some people just need therapy lol

I can't imagine being so insecure about my own masculinity that I tie it to a sports team to "prove" I'm manly. Just kinda sad tbh.

The irony is that turco is the only one that’s compared his manhood to sports.

You should ask them if they would rather have played and lost 4 straight SB’s or win just 1 SB.

I think the best we can hope for with the Cowboys and the Jones’ is that whenever Jerry steps aside (it really can’t be that much longer can it?) Stephen does so bad that Charlotte and Jerry Jr are forced to to take control of the team and they bring in a real GM and front office.

That or Stephen is like a blind squirrel finding a nut and he backs into a SB win.

I wonder what Steve Young would say if he never won that SB in ‘94. Do you think he would have been perfectly satisfied always losing in the NFC Championship game? I mean he did get close and all.

I legit don't even know what you're raging about at this point, it just seems like you need to seek professional help.

No one is raging. Just speaking facts. I didn’t mean to intimidate you.

I guess the people who run the nfl are cowboy fans

Most people don't care about 3rd place, true.

However, most fans get intrigued by a deep playoff run.

Maybe you don't remember the feeling because it has been so long.

Sure. Enjoy the feeling. But years later don’t celebrate it. That’s just silly.

They are a highly regarded team.

Probably more remembered than the 1987 Redskins.

No, but he probably think he's a better 100m butterfly swimmer than you, even though you both didn't win the gold medal in the 2016 Olympics.

Tell me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding the Bills are the only franchise to go to 4 straight Super Bowls. That type of history always sticks out in my mind.

HoF is an individual accomplishment. Barry Sanders is in the HoF but we all know those teams sucked.


Not everyone gets to be one of the best in their position, I doubt Jim Kelly or Marv Levy would have made it if they had lost in the wild card each time.

That is irrelevant to the discussion, I need to ask them whether they would prefer losing in the wild card instead of going to those super bowls.

Argument is not whether super bowl win is better than super bowl loss, argument is whether super bowl loss is same as wild card loss. Everyone knows million dollars is better than 100k, but according to Cowboys fans you are a pussy if you take 100k over 100 dollars.

No, when you think if them you just think of them getting their asses kicked when they finally had to play the NFC.

Its that type of run that gets you hooked as a kid and fan. My first 4 years watching football, the Cowboys went to 4 straight NFC Championship games 1970 - 1973 which included back to back Super Bowl appearances. I was hooked for 54 years.

Have you ever wondered why except for Cowboys fans nobody agrees with this "all 31 teams are equally bad" braindead argument?

Ah. excuse me. :wavefinger: :wink:
