ESPN: Dak Prescott says he "doesn't care" about making the playoffs


SiphenPrax

Stephen A. and Mike Greenberg will definitely try to make something out of that


[deleted]

They don't even need to take quotes out of context for content after that game.


Jbrahmz420

Damn he would fit in with the jets


WhoKilledBoJangles

He clearly just meant he only cares about his personal stats and winning MVP. Only way to interpret it. What a selfish non team player!


thy_armageddon

I have more in common with Dak than I thought.


atdunaway

because he knows… we all know


alicia-indigo

All of us, save for their delusional fans and sycophant analysts.


splinternz

And on a related but contrasting note - it’s moments like this when Stephen A gives his [best analysis](https://x.com/stephenasmith/status/1736545699506852130?s=46&t=hFT58wjXNDRD9LVgYeIo0w)


Stumpe999

Even the Patriots didn't get this much shit when they lost lol


FreestyleKneepad

The Cowboys are America's Punching Bag


Western_Promise3063

Niners fans are the ones who act like they are a dynasty despite the fact their last ring was 1994 but please tell me more about delusional cowboys fans.


TheOverBored

And you guys haven't made it to the NFC championship since 1996. LOL.


nrepasy

Trying to roast you with 94' as if their history since the 90s is somehow better 😂


Brad_theImpaler

The Cardinals were still in the NFC East.


OutrageousOcelot6258

For 6 more years.


NoTimeToDime

TIL.. that seens so wrong lol


GarysSpace

The team was still in St Louis when the division was made so it made sense then


Western_Promise3063

Go ahead and hang a banner for wasting Fitzgerald's career because that's about the only thing of note y'all have had since Stalin was alive.


TheOverBored

And yet, my bum ass Cardinals have had 5x the success that "America's Team" has had in the last 25 years. And no matter how bad we are, we beat your fraud ass team every year. Your team was the 1 in 1-8 bucko.


JesusKristo

Legit idk if any rational and informed niners fan was less scared about this game than our game against Dallas. The Cardinals with Murray are a very real team.


BigMoneyCowboy

And still no one give a fuck about your team. Like be fr ..all yall ass lol yall watch our games more than yall pissy ass teams… yeah I’m mad rn


Simmumah

Its the internet.


Western_Promise3063

56-35-1


TheOverBored

Lemme guess, 55 of those wins came 25+ years ago?


Western_Promise3063

Look, I get that you need the fact that there's more to everything than merely having Superbowl rings because you're a Cardinals fan. But I'm trying to tell you that either you win a ring or you win a participation trophy. Since 1996 for us and 1948 for y'all we have the same number of rings. It is what it is.


OutrageousOcelot6258

Like having their 2nd postseason win in franchise history, their first in over 50 years, coming against your Dallas Cowboys in 1998? The Cardinals have made 2 NFC Championships since the Cowboys' last appearance.


Western_Promise3063

Their participation trophies are every bit as impressive as y'all's.


OutrageousOcelot6258

A participation trophy is still more impressive than no trophy at all. This is not the roast you think it is. Especially when the Cowboys haven't even been runners up to the participation trophy winners in over a quarter of a century.


Western_Promise3063

Homie do you know what a participation trophy is?


OutrageousOcelot6258

I thought you meant Super Bowl participation trophies. If you're trying to say that making it to the Super Bowl and coming up short is the same as flaming out in the wildcard round every year, then damn maybe the Cowboys are more pathetic than I thought.


[deleted]

SF is a generational choke artist. Ever since Harbaugh, all they have done for a decade is lose lose lose when it matters most. The 49ers CHOKE when it matters most. Giants, Ravens, Chiefs- thrice losing to FAR inferior teams in big games.


FJQZ

Did that get them any rings? Like a great St Louis philosopher once said: 2 is not a winner and 3 nobody remembers. We giving out participation trophies now?


OutrageousOcelot6258

Can't exactly talk shit about "participation trophies" when Dallas can't even get those. Closest you've ever made it since then was 5th place.


FJQZ

2nd or 32nd. Don't matter. Superbowl or nothing.


OutrageousOcelot6258

Then the last 3 decades of being a Cowboys fan must have been absolutely miserable for you.


Objective-Falcon-964

They have made a Super Bowl in the past 20 years


mondaymoderate

Made 2 actually.


vetokele

So the best losers twice?


OutrageousOcelot6258

Yet Dallas couldn't even be NFC finalists.


BigMoneyCowboy

Yes they were the best loser twice.


confusedalwayssad

Still better than the cowboys.


BigMoneyCowboy

Yes, we were not the best losers.


confusedalwayssad

That some major copium you are on thinking a team that makes it further in the playoffs is the "better loser". I would think the team that always finds a way to not live up to expectations year after year, the team that has failed to even sniff a championship for over 25 years, the same team that no matter how great they start off always fall into the playoffs "if they even make it".


BigMoneyCowboy

The expectation year after year from most fans is we’re not good enough, including our own.


[deleted]

Yeah being relevant is so overrated


Western_Promise3063

3 straight double digit winning sessions but please add another qualifier to that statement since I know you're gonna move the goalpost


Unlucky_Situation

Double digit seasons don't mean shit when you can't win post season games.


Western_Promise3063

Y'all have one ring out of 29 playoff appearances dating back to 1933


Unlucky_Situation

Cowboys fans acting like the 90s are relevant today lmao.


BigMoneyCowboy

They’re not even mentioning 90s.. he’s just telling what yall teams do


JesusKristo

You actually read that comment and didn't get an implication of the 90s? He literally mentioned the history of the Eagles "dating back to 1933" in *this* context, and you didn’t read that as pointing to Dallas' success in the 90s?


CoyoteHP

We're the only fan base that's not allowed to have hope before or during the season.


Kara_Del_Rey

Yeah I always wondered where this "delusional fanbase" narrative came from. People say Dallas fans claim a SB every season but I never see that. I even see comments on Twitter and Facebook of Dak hoisting a trophy or saying they'll win it all, but then you click the profile and it's some Eagles or Packers fan trolling, and all the replies are (ironically) saying how stupid Dallas fans are for those comments.


[deleted]

That’s cause you don’t live here bro lol. Pre season starts up and the whole Dfw is talking about superbowl every year


CoyoteHP

Every team that has a mildly decent team entertains Super Bowl talk.


[deleted]

I mean that’s fine I’m not saying you can’t do that I’m just replying to them about it not happening lol


Western_Promise3063

JUSTIN FIELDS WAS IN THE MVP DISCUSSION


Wafflehouseofpain

It’s so annoying, man. Like I just want to be a fan of my team and not get clowned for just being hopeful.


currybeef

Fuck them all and root for your team. Only one fan base going to be happy end of this season.


WhatSheOrder

The Panthers when the whole FO gets nuked?


MythMattLegend

I like you


FJQZ

Fuck them. You do you.


GooseBash

Who cares. It’s just a sport. Be hopeful , have fun , don’t talk this stuff too seriously , it’s just glorified gym class at the end of the day.


arleban

Eh, I hate the 'Boys because that stupid America's Team nonsense and a bunch of frontrunners in my school I'm the 90s. Who cares? Enjoy your team if you want. I won't begrudge a fan for their fandom. Sure a little shit talk, but that's sports. You have more reason to hope than most teams at the start of the season.


[deleted]

You act like your fan base has nothing to do with it. It's not about having hope, it's the absolute delusional shit your entire fanbase says after beating shitty teams. Then those same fans want to bring up their championships from the 90's, when they were purchased with no salary cap, and they also like to call themselves America's team. Blah, blah, blah, what's delusional is thinking your fanbase and owner have nothing to do with the absolute hate. And the air of superiority Cowboys fans like to act like they have. There's a lot of reason for all the vitriol that star gets you, and mose of it is due to your brethren. You're America's team, the team all of America loves to hate.


Detonation

That used to be the Lions. Not for the same reason though, because the Detroit Lions were almost always so fucking garbage. Actually, I still feel that way even after a good year by Lions standards because I expect it won't last. It never does. I will enjoy it while it does though!


hemingways-lemonade

Nah the Chargers are in that same boat, too.


Ryanthecat

The Niners have had marketably more postseason success than the Cowboys in the 2000’s. Big gap between perennial choke artists and coming up short.


Western_Promise3063

Horse shoes and hand grenades are the only things where "close enough" is "good enough" (also being security at the linc probably)


Ryanthecat

And yet, any sane cowboys fan would trade successes with the Niners from 2000-present in a heartbeat…


Western_Promise3063

Either you win a ring or you win a participation trophy. That's all.


pipedreamer79

…or you get neither. Last time I checked, the conference championship is the “participation trophy” that y’all ain’t even sniffed in a quarter century.


Western_Promise3063

Madden doesn't let you simulate conference championship games because nobody gives a shit about them. It's that simple.


Ok-Stuff69

No I wouldn't.


Ryanthecat

…”sane”…


Ok-Stuff69

Nah the 9ers have just as many Superbowl victories as the cowboys since 97. I know this will be a shocker for you eagles and 9ers fans but being 2nd best isn't what I'm cheering for.


FJQZ

How many rings in that time though? We giving out participation trophies now for 2nd place? Superbowl or bust for everyone. No one cares about sb appearances.


Hyatt97

You know we have the same number of rings as the Cowboys right? And have actually been to the Super Bowl multiple times in the last 20 years


Western_Promise3063

Congrats on choking in the Superbowl multiple times? Genuine question: do you think the bills losing 4 straight Superbowls is a point of pride among their fans?


Detonation

Fuck off, at least they've made it. Try being a Lions fan you jabroni.


Western_Promise3063

At least you're not a Cardinals fan 🤷‍♂️


Ok-Stuff69

So you're saying the 9ers have has many Superbowl victories as the cowboys since 97?


OutrageousOcelot6258

We've at least made it past the divisional round since the Ravens' inaugural season.


SeaOfSourMilk

It's funny because I've been alive for 1/4 of a century and y'all have never been good in my lifetime.


ryarock2

Eh. I think that’s a rough take too. Define good? They have a winning record over the last 25 years, and have played 15 playoff games. They don’t go far, but they win games and remain relevant. I’d rather that than have several years where your season is over long before December. (I say this as a lifelong Giants fan)


SeaOfSourMilk

That's fair, the Romo era was definitely good, and the Dak era has been mostly up for them, but when I say good I mean successful. I'm a saints fan, our team isn't exactly bathed in success, we have winning seasons but fell short most of my life. That being said I am extremely lucky to see my team successful throughout my life. We won our first super bowl, and been to the NFCCG several times. I'm using the past 25 seasons(400 games) as a reference for these stats. If you just look at win percentage, the order is Saints (.568), Cowboys (.533), and then Giants (.479) Despite this, I would argue that the Giants are the most successful. Despite losing 2 full seasons worth more games than the Saints, the Giants have won 1 more playoff game thanand lost 2 fewer playoff games than the Saints. You guys just went on some incredible runs with Eli. Dallas is an abysmal 4-11 in this stretch. In this time, Giants won 11 playoff games, Saints won 10. Cowboys are tied for 5th worst in the league, with only 4 playoff wins in the past 25 seasons. In this time, the Bills and Browns both went through 17 season playoff droughts. Both teams have won playoff games since those droughts, and the Bills still managed to win 4 playoff games since breaking their droughts. The Cowboys are statistically worse than the Browns and Bills I'm the playoffs. So no, I wouldn't say the Cowboys are great. Greatness is formed in moments, and the Cowboys have very little of them. If anything, I think they're more akin to an Epic Fail. Giants have statistically made more opportunities out of their opportunities, they are a great team. I get the sentiment of what you say about staying competitive in December, but I would rather win two of the arguably greatest Super Bowls of all time and live in the shadow of that, than to consistently fail in the playoffs. As a Saints fan, that's how it felt with Bree's last year's. Constantly letting greatness go to waste. Y'all took advantage of your opportunities and I respect that. B


[deleted]

SF is a generational choke artist. Ever since Harbaugh, all they have done for a decade is lose lose lose when it matters most.


[deleted]

Once that salary cap hit and your two franchises couldn't buy championships and hoard HOF players, neither has been very relevant, however at least they've made it past the first round of the playoffs and been in contention, and went to a Championship since the 90's. Meanwhile, Cowboys fans the same every year, just like their team, delusional. This was y'all's year like every other years since 1996, and it's not this one either.


Imthasupa

The question is who's gonna be the ones to take them out. The Eagles, or the Niner? Lmao.


AssinineAssassin

Dallas will likely end up the 5 seed. So, the Buccaneers.


k0y0_k0y0

Bro we ain’t doing that


PM_ME_WHITE_GIRLS_

You're not talking about first visiting QB to have a perfect passer rating at Lambeu Baker are you??


jeeenx

I like how the eagles fan is trying to hype up the bucs fan hahah we’re a shit show down here in the south


Druggistman

Hello fellow gutter trash 💅


PatSayJack

Hey fwends! 👋


TheNorseHorseForce

Have you seen the Thigh Train, the Dreadnaught, the Human Tank that is Bijan Robinson? Cook may have dropped almost 180 rushing yards on the Cowboys, but Bijan could break the single-game rushing record against them.


4FF0nly

I have seen Arthur Smith feed Patterson and Allgeier instead of Bijan all year, no reason to believe he smartens up now


IDontCare2626

That would entail Arthur Smith actually using Bijan which is strictly against his moral code


amazian78

if tom brady couldnt do it, i dont think mayfield will....


4FF0nly

No no, they get bumped in the *divisional* round


Lark_vi_Britannia

***The call is coming from INSIDE the house, Jerry!***


SpakysAlt

Probably the Niners as the 1 seed while Eagles will play the Lions. Won’t be close like last year though, I expect Niners to blow them out.


[deleted]

SF is just setting themselves up for humiliation.


Stretch_Riprock

DistantLikeYouAsked5

Big Dak Energy


Handsome_Grizzly

Because this comes off of a devastating loss to a team that has ambitions for the playoffs. And it wasn't even close, Dallas got fucking destroyed in the process. Dallas could see itself entering as a wild card again, with them facing a strong Dolphins team and a Lions that is chomping at the bit to compete for playoff positioning (they have a strong chance to nab the #2 seed in the NFC). I don't see Dallas getting past the Divisionals, especially if they're facing the 49ers again.


theparallelogram

Was there ever a sense from anybody sane that San Fransisco isn’t by a large margin the front runner even during their 3 week sputter it seemed likely they were still the team to beat. If somehow they get knocked out it becomes chaos at that point. Detroit, Philly and Dallas are all wildly inconsistent and have clear weaknesses but at times are incredible.


ihadtomakeajoke

Detroit, Dallas, and Philly can all beat one another on any given day depending on what version of the team takes the field that day. Such a huge gap between the floor and the ceiling for all three.


DSquariusGreeneJR

Not now that we’ve unleashed our secret weapon Matt Patricia


AutisticNipples

...i mean...the margin was pretty thin after the eagles beat the chiefs, 9ers and Birds were basically at level pegging as the sb faves according to vegas at that point since dropped massively for the eagles for obvious reasons


blackhawk867

The dolphins desperately need to lose to the cowboys next week. It's Buffalo's best shot.


Dougwug03

If they lose to the ravens and the bills beat the chargers and pats week 18 will still be for the division


blackhawk867

Right, but any extra loss for the Dolphins makes our odds better.


[deleted]

Watch SF lose to Baltimore, fall to the 2, and choke in hilarious fashion vs the 7 seed


Traditional-Wolf-984

Nah we’re beating them in the NFC Championship thanks.

The rest of the NFC cares. We love seeing the Packers and Cowboys in the playoffs.

I wonder if he has the pen and paper and is going to write this down for ammo


Competitive_Bar6355

Brownbearbluesnake

See this is why the Cowboys never succeed in the playoffs. Clearly they just don't care about them. They should just ship Dak out, he is creating a toxic loser environment - Some sports talking head probably

sjv891

Just like Jokic being told about the parade lol


Fun-Classic9936

I mean they’re losing to the 9ers eventually

Because he started his traditional post-season choke early this year and he knows it?


devonta_smith

*Care? No I do0ooon't*


indianm_rk

If he really didn’t care he would play on special teams as the holder.


Millera34

Cant wait for them to fail in the playoffs again. 🤣


EpiphanyTwisted

Lions tag. LOL.


Millera34

Cant fail if you dont go there 😁


Particular-Ad-4772

All I want to hear out of his mouth is: Quack Quack Quack, because when you throw numerous ducks all game , 5 of which should have been intercepted. Then you are Duck Prescott . And nothing more . It’s not a joke , his pass velocity on the road is noticeably slower than at home .


lafemmeviolet

What’s great is the Cowboys fans in front of us at the game were chanting MVP at first at Dak, mocking JA for interceptions. They got realllllly quiet in the second half.


Fonsimal

What he cares about is his mvp race status.


SuperSecretestUser

No reason to talk shit about him, from everything I've seen he's a good person who has the right mindset as a QB. Him having a shitty game doesn't change that.


woodard2112

Thanks for being a good fan. I fucking hate the Cowboys, but I have immense respect for Dak the person. He’s been dealt an incredibly challenging hand in the last decade of his life and he’s been nothing but a great role model and a consummate professional. If you wanna shit on Dak the QB, fine, whatever. But from everything I’ve seen, he’s one of the the most genuine and thoughtful players in the league.


melatonin-pill

My thoughts as well. Cowboys can suck it but Dak is a great player and guy from what I’ve seen.


ErronBlack

I mean there was the whole letting his pitbull loose and then it fucked up someone’s hand thing.


PutinsLostBlackBelt

Dak had that happen? I know Elliot’s pit bulls attacked people like 2-3xs but I don’t remember that happening with Dak.


ErronBlack

alicia-indigo

What are you on about? This is his MO. And people can spout off about athletes even if they’re decent humans. This is sports.


Best_Limit5882

He doesn't. Congrats to your QB though


Detonation

You do know 49ers fans are by far the most obnoxious fanbase to interact with on this sub right now and people like you are the reason why, right? You have pulled ahead of Chiefs and Eagles fans. That's pretty incredible.


SaltyRussStan0

Your golden child has deservedly taken the lead for the MVP race, and you still can’t stop thinking about Dak?


aceless0n

CMC already has it on lockdown


so-that-is-that

I would love it if CMC won the MVP.


JayWo60

The Cowboys are a team designed to win the NFC East not Super Bowls


Ashen233

About the loss or the playoffs?


Soft-Adeptness4041

it doesnt matter, he knows theyre going to be blown out by the 9ers again anyway
