In fact, around here its a criticism of the Bucs . . failures if they dont get "deep into the playoffs." Unevenly applied to the Cowboys.
Really?
Care to give an example?
of what?
“In fact, around here its a criticism of the Bucs . . failures if they dont get "deep into the playoffs." Unevenly applied to the Cowboys”
DH, didn't you say BEFORE the 2024 season that it would be a failure unless the Bucs went deep into the playoffs? Wasnt that the STANDARD that you applied to success (ie to NOT be a "shitbox team")?
Yes, I did.
Now, show me how this was “unevenly applied to the Cowboys”.
Now, show me how this was “unevenly applied to the Cowboys”.
you cant be serious?
Your other half defines Cowboys "success" as never going deep in the playoffs, having a lot of regular season wins over 25 years.
Look, I dont care what you two think. lol. I am only using the "thoughts" you two post here. I am pointing out that when many of your (plural) thoughts posted are NOT genuine, but instead are trolling it leads to you guys stepping on yourselves, perpetually.
You dont like the HC so the TROLLING posts are "#7 in scoring, the only stat that counts" or "anything less deep in the playoffs is failure." So, the (Bowles) Bucs are a failure UNLESS go deep in the playoffs?" The Cowboys are great . . EVEN THOUGH . . they never go deep in the playoffs?"
Or, "injuries don't matter" for the Bucs . . but do for the Cowboys . . even when they were on a 3 game slide with their QB (because they have other problems)
Again, who cares? I am just pointing it out BECAUSE ITS FUNNY.
All those quotes up there are CARDS that you and Biggs CHOSE TO PLAY . .
I am only turning them over.
"debate your mom"
(if i can borrow that hilarious line)
Jim Nantz and PFT discussing Thanksgiving game
"K.C. and Dallas, to put those two gigantic brands together on the most-watched day of the regular season in the NFL, it’s gonna set records,” Nantz said, via AwfulAnnouncing.com. “That’s not what I’m out for it to do. I just hope it’s a great football game. It will be a wonderful matchup to call on Thanksgiving. K.C. at Dallas, it’s the game we wanted.”
It’s hardly a stretch. The Cowboys are America’s legacy team. The Chiefs are the flavor of a month of Sundays. Put them together, and the record won’t just be broken. It’ll be shattered."
So, the (Bowles) Bucs are a failure UNLESS go deep in the playoffs?" The Cowboys are great . . EVEN THOUGH . . they never go deep in the playoffs?"
Is this one of you guys writing into the "mailbag?"
QUESTION: Based on this schedule, is Todd Bowles out of excuses for having close to a .500 regular season record and not many deep playoff runs?
LMAO
SR's answer surely sets up a Bowles firing:
"This does feel like a “no excuses” type of season is on the horizon, but it’s not one that is “make-or-break” for Bowles, who is as far removed from the hot seat as he’s ever been. The organization has full and complete confidence in him entering 2025, and he deserves a tremendous amount of credit for being an old dog who is indeed learning some new tricks at age 61.
While it’s not “Super Bowl or bust” this year in Tampa Bay, the expectations are that the Bucs win a fourth straight division title under Bowles this year and make the playoffs for a sixth straight season and contend for a Super Bowl. I think that’s doable with this talented and experienced roster, and the incredible culture that Bowles and general manager Jason Licht have helped build in Tampa Bay. Ten wins feels like the floor for this team, and who knows how high the ceiling is?
If the Bucs don’t make it to the Super Bowl this year that should not be viewed as an ultimately failed season. It is incredibly difficult to even get to the Super Bowl, as some mega-talented teams like Detroit, Buffalo and Baltimore have found out in recent years. But Tampa Bay certainly has the potential to get there thanks to Bowles, the coaches, the front office, and of course the talented players. We’ll see what happens."
Weird . . .
Documentary on the ‘90s Cowboys will shine brighter light on 30 years of failure
How can Cowboys fans not watch the documentary without getting pissed that Jones has been unable to recapture the magic in three full decades? For the first 30 Super Bowls, the Cowboys played in the game to get there SIXTEEN times. In the 29 Super Bowls since then: Zero.
It’s an inescapable comparison. It’s a bald guy showing off a picture of what he looked like 30 years ago, when he had hair. The photo looks great, but the current reality tells a much different story.
The Cowboys hope that, for at least a little while, a trip down memory lane will be the bright, shiny object that makes the fans forget that it may be damn near impossible to make America’s Team great again."
meanwhile at Cowboys training camp. . . .
Twelve days ago, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons publicly declared he wants to be traded. He hasn’t said much since then.
On Wednesday, he said nothing.
Via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com, reporters sought comment from Parsons after practice on Wednesday. Said Parsons: “My mouth is closed.”
He has not rescinded or revised his trade request. Presumably, it still stands.
The question is whether the Cowboys will make him an offer that is objectively acceptable — and whether he’ll respond by refusing to consider it, reiterating that he wants a trade.
Meanwhile, Parsons has yet to practice during training camp. And the regular-season opener is 22 days away.
No one likes the Cowboys. I struggle with which franchise is less relevant. The Cowboys or the Bears.
Every team doesn't play the same strength of schedule, so there will be teams that stack a winning record off weak teams. If a team wants that home game, go win their division.
