Yes, someone will find something to complain about in that scenario. Whether it's that we should have put them away earlier or we should have scored more points or Ratliff looked worn down because he isn't a true NT, someone will find something to complain about. You know I'm right.

And, for the record, drinking something that tastes as bad as beer is a LOT better than peeing out something that feels like a porcupine.


Let 'em complain. I'd take that 6th Lombardi, even if that meant having to watch a 6-3 defensive battle. It'd be worth it to finally see the team win a championship live.

Keep forgetting some of the guys on here weren't around or weren't old enough to see the early 90's Super Bowls.

I bet it does. I was 17 when Dallas won Super Bowl 27. It was awesome.

Yes, even if the Cowboys were winning, people would still find something to complain about. Even if Dallas wins the Super Bowl this year, people will gripe about the playcalling or the margin of victory or the number of sacks Almost Anthony doesn't get. The negativity will not stop, regardless of this team's success. Some people take football way too seriously.


I doubt it. If Dallas wins the Super Bowl this year, the number of bandwagon fans will skyrocket and the hate on Romo and etc. from Cowboy fans will be gone.


Yeah, winning is the great cure all. If the team wins the SB, what is there to complain about? That the team didn't win it by enough points? That's just stupid. When the cowboys have an extremely talented roster and still lose... There's a lot of things to question about the organization. If the team wins, those questions go away.


Yeah, it sounds good. But, we all know the truth. Even when we win, there is always something being complained about, especially if it was a conservative gameplan and the final score was something like 14-10. People will complain about every single victory. Either Romo didn't have enough passing yards or Murray didn't get enough carries or Dez is running crisp enough routes.


So, you are saying the cowboys win the SB 14-10, and you think people will complain about a conservative game plan? ht, it's probably time to put the beer down. Surely kidney stones are better than what beer is doing to your brain.


I don't know if people would complain about the game plan, but there would certainly still be complaining. The "we still aren't good enough and we won't be able to win the same way next year" kind of complaining. That we got lucky, and the team still isn't good enough, and we'll never be able to sustain any kind of success under Jerry Jones, and we really still suck at drafting.

You know people will be talking like that within a week of winning.

That happens to every team after winning a championship, it's called defending your championship. I don't see your point

I am basing my opinion on having been a member of this site for over 7 years and a Cowboy fan for 33 of my 36 years of life. It is the nature of the beast.

No it's not.

If the Cowboys win it this year, and people still question Jerry Jones and the direction of this franchise with Garrett as head coach, those people are haters.

That's not talking about "defending our championship".

Regardless of how this team does, I'll always question Jerry Jones because he's incompetent. Our history of fail over the last 15 years is all the proof I need. Even if we were to win a Super Bowl, he'd still have no business being a GM.

That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard. If the Cowboys win the SB this year, nobody would question the direction of the franchise under Garrett. Would people complain that Jerry didn't get out of the way sooner? Maybe. But, nobody would question the direction of the franchise under Garrett if the Cowboys win the SB this year.

I will be overjoyed with a 2-0 Superbowl win marked by a safety on the last play of the game. 27 combined turnovers and more penalty yards than actual yards gained. It's been 17 years! Seriously, who cares how we win as long as we win one? But I acknowledge some folks wouldn't be happy.

I know me though. A couple of weeks after the euphoria died down I would be thinking about how do we defend the title and what upgrades do we need to make to contend and win again.

Yup, it certainly is impossible to become better at something over time. He was bad once, therefore he shall always be bad. No matter what. I will hate him even if he wins the next 7 Super Bowls. [/sarcasm] Rolling Eyes
