8-7-1 is a winning season, but I will not argue with the theory that you are as good as your last 4-6 games.
The Cowboys, for example, finished the season 2-2...
Clearly a fail of a season

My question here is if you start the season 9-0 but finish at 9-7? Is that really a winning season?
Not trying to piss on anyones Wheaties. But was listening to Pat Kirwan the other day and his theory is "You are as good as your last 4 to 6 games. That is the team you are today. Not who you were at the start of the season, but who you are today." Is 2-4 a more accurate reflection? Or is 8-7-1?
I would argue that going 2-4 in your last 6 games is more a reflection that you did poorly in your last 6 games, whereas going 8-7-1 over the course of a season reflects that you were above average by the slimmest of margins. That's just me though.

Win a playoff game before u get so smug,.... and remember when you lose your first playoff game you are 0-1 until next year

I am going to have a great time on the dallas cowards forums when they get sent home from the playoffs.. if they win it all then fine with that but why the heck do they come to this site and poke around..
Sandtrap isn't really a troll, but he is as delusional as any other Cowboy fan. I swear you would think they win championships every other day. Lol. How many playoff wins do they have in the last 20 years?

Yes more wins than losses equals a winning season, it's simple math.
C'mon? Be serious now. Your just looking at my avatar and trying to write sh*t off.
But you know and I know as well as anyone else knows that if a team, any team, starts a season off 9-0 and finishes 0-7 there will be coaches looking for jobs. Even a head coach. Sure 9-7 is a 'winning season' by simple math. But that 0-7 finish is a coffin nail.
Someone in Landover agress. Washington was in first place in the division for a short time this season. Then they finish 2-4 and the entire defensive staff gets fired.
You're confusing winning season with successful season. And the entire staff wasn't fired.

Your talking about several things now and seems like your digging. Defense kinda been questionable since Barry took the reigns.
But whatever you have to tell yourself that the Skins aren't getting better, feel free. But the facts remain winning seasons back to back...couple division titles since 2012...this feeling of stability throughout the organization and throughout the league is pretty obvious.
I actually believe the Skins, Cowboys and Giants are pretty much evenly matched. Not a lot of separation. Eagles got some work to do, but overall the East is back.

The two are mutually exclusive? I'm intrigued.

I did not say that the 'Skins are not getting better. I did not say they got any worse, nor that they are status quo. All I asked (I did NOT say). But I asked a fargin' question. You guys have never given a crap about what I think anyway. So that is why I asked a question.
Question I asked is whether 8-7-1 is more indicative of who you are today or is 2-4?
Lets look at it another way. Would you rather have finished the last 6 weeks of season at 4-2 to be at 8-7-1? Or 2-4 and finish at 8-7-1?
And yes and concur. Put the rest of the league on notice, the NFC Beast is back.

Come on man, you know a one and done playoff run is not what the Cowboys or their fans have in mind. If The Packers come into Dallas and knock you out of the playoffs will you say "hey we won a bunch of games this year and lost a home playoff game - Im good with that"!
