I don't see that being true. The record shows: Most Consecutive Games LostWith the Redskins being the first team listed in third group of those who lost -4- games : Washington, 1972-74, 1976There are 14 teams above us in this category. The one right above us? Dallas, 1996, 1998-99, 2003, 2006 (current)Just the way I see it. NFL Playoff Records: Team - Games J-Dawg.

For every good personnel decision there seems to be a bad one. And nearly all of the recent good ones came with Parcells helping to shop for the gorceries. The bottom line is, this is a cocky team that is consistently too big for their britches, and consistently fails to win in the postseason. Say all you want about the past. It's a what have you done for me lately league, and ultimately no one cares about good regular season records when you don't back it up in the playoffs. You guys are on the verge of implosion, and Romo is going to get killed if your supposed "best line in the NFL" can't keep him off the turf (knocked down 19x vs. Arizona with a broken bone to show for it).

My post said that the ONLY place you see the Redskins is in the MOST CONSECUTIVE LOST. I must stress the word "ONLY". Yes Dallas is on there for consecutive losses as well, and I did read that. But that is not the ONLY (there's that word again) category that Dallas appears in on that page. Dallas appears in MOST WON, MOST PLAYOFF GAMES WON, MOST CONSECUTIVE PLAYOFF APPEARANCES etc etc.... (and yes Most Consecutive Lost too) But my POINT was that the ONLY place on that page you see the name WASHINGTON is under MOST CONSECUTIVE LOSSES. Comprende amigo? | |

As for the novels it is called "marketability". Publishers won't publish a book that the market indicates will not sell. And the Cowboys are the highes marketed team in pro sports next to the Yankees. So writing the good stuff or the bad stuff is going to sell books. And that is why there are those non-fiction novels. So as far as marketability is concerned, how many other teams have books written about them? What teams have the most? Give you three guesses and the first 2 do not count. Win at any cost? Maybe, but as an owner and GM if you are not "in it to win it" then you are in the wrong business and should get out. Quote:
And of course you do not want to talk about the past when it comes to Dallas. You want to narrow the conversation around YOUR parameters to keep the Cowboys in the most negative light possible. And you know what, that is cool too, I expect nothing less. But I ask you in all sincerity, If Jerry Jones purchased the Redskins, would you STOP being a Redskins fan? Would your "high morals" prevent you from being the die hard 'Skins fan you are? Would you walk away from your team because of that non-fiction book? Or would you focus on the successes? | ||

-I never said I didn't want to talk about the past. The Skins and Cowboys each have three Super Bowl wins in the last 25 years. We did it with class and character, not criminals and cover-ups. It's easier to get a pass from Jerry Jones than it is from Tony Romo. -Sure, the novel is marketable because of the Cowboys brand. But if none of that crap went down, there would be no book in the first place. That was my point. -Owners and GM's should be "in it to win it" as you say. But plenty of them have experienced huge success without the kind of BS Jerry Jones brings to the table. Take the Steelers for example- a class organization with great ownership, 5 rings, a small # of head coaches, and no scandal. -If Jerry Jones purchased the Skins I would be sick. But I wouldn't stop being a fan of the players and on-field product. I would, however, be very skeptical of the behind-the-scenes stuff, especially having an owner as a full time GM. Not sure why you put "high morals" in quotes. I didn't say I was a poster boy for morality, I simply said Jerry Jones lacks it. -You're a Cowboys fan, of course I expect you to focus on the successes. But don't be in denial of the circus.

I would also say that the Boys won those superbowls in spite of JJ. As I and others have mentioned a few times, Jimmy is the reason they won those. JJ had very little if anything to do with it. The only thing he did was hire his buddy at the time Jimmy. Quote:
I understand that you are a huge Boys fan and guess I shouldn't expect anything less but defending your team. But remember you also defended Pacman and how he was nothing but a saint now and Owens and how he is such a team player now and we have already seen what has started happening there. Not to mention the guaranteed win you promised. Sorry I know that is probably still a sore subject. ![]() | ||
