They beat the Broncos, then the Bills. Lost to the Ravens and then now beat the Patriots.
The "how many times they have been there" argument is one I know well. As a Yankees fan, I love reminding folks how many World Series we have won (27 to be exact). Funny how the argument I always hear back is the "what have you done for me lately".
Well, while the Cowboys may have been there in the 90's, in fact the last appearance was 1998, since then, they haven't done much but lose.

They made the playoffs in '99, '03, '06 and '07 and lost. BTW, do you recall that in '07 they were the NFC East winners? They were eliminated by who? Yup, the Wild Card Giants. They were "lucky" to beat the Cowboys, "lucky" to beat the Packers and "lucky" to beat the Patriots.

If the Cowboys can be called "good" and the Giants "lucky", I would rather be lucky than good as of recent history. No doubt we choked this year, big time. At least I can get over it now, early on. Not because I don't like the Cowboys, just because I think I am being objective when I say that I don't see them going past the first round. Let's see what they do against the Eagles (whom I have equally no lost love for) as that will be quite telling and I may eat my prediction. I assure you if they make me eat it, I will be here to post it.
Being a Cowboys fan, I am fully aware of the results of our playoff games over the past 15 years. Every year is a new chance to turn it around, and this year is starting to look pretty good. The guys have been playing like a TEAM, defense is crushing the opposition, and the offense is really clicking (minus that R. Williams guy..). They are getting hot at the end of the season, which we all know is where they usually lose their cool. And as you can attest to with your '07 Giants, teams that get hot at the end of the season tend to do really well in the playoffs.

All that aside though, I'll be at the game on Sunday and will be sure to send you a snapshot of the final score on the jumbotron. 34-14 COWBOYS
