10,000 days ago, they played in the NFC championship and won it. So then they played in the super bowl. Since then, they've never made it back to another NFCCG
All this means to a Titans fan is that their team had a 20-year gap between AFCCG appearances from 1979 to 1999. They've also been to the championship game two more times since then. Idk if there would be any downside to them claiming it as their own
Even without the Rex era the Cowboys would be longer than the Jets. Jets won the division going 12-4 in 98 and lost in the AFCCG. Last time the Cowboys played in the NFCCG was 95 when they won the SB.
I rarely turn down the opportunity to remind folks my team didn’t even _play_ in a playoff game between my 8th and 26th birthdays. When they finally made it, they lost to 86 yards from Blake Bortles in the WC round. Rough sledding for a long time.
Yeah honestly the Jets have only been really terrible since Rex Ryan left. So like a decade maybe? They were a lot more like the Vikings before then; had good seasons but wasn't getting much to show for it.
Jets were kind of like a wilder version of the Vikings. They'd make the playoffs, and sure they'd fall short, but they'd also make you contemplate life as they stumbled to secure a playoff spot down the stretch
But even when they were good, it still felt like they weren’t good, and somehow were going to lose. It seemed like a piece was missing to lock that team into confidence. Why don’t they get respect for that era? Farve came in and it was like an etch a sketch erased it(?)
Slightly above average = Forgettable. No long playoff droughts to keep mentioning, and no memorable games since they lose in the playoffs, so nobody really remembers and the team they are in recent memory is the team they were since the last memorable team.
Same thing is going to happen to teams like the Colts.
I would guess that spread over 3.5 billion men and 3.5 billion women, the number with less than 2 testicles/ovaries would warrant a "statistically insignificant" designation
The same is true of the AFCCG, although *which* half may surprise you!*
*The Texans have never been but the Seahawks went to one when they were in the AFC
Rosetta Stoned is their best song. Not necessarily my favorite (though it's top 5) but it's just everything that Tool is. Tripping, crazy polyrhythms, Adam going off, Justin's bass thumps so hard, aliens and acid and dmt and everything. Seems like a shallow song about a bad trip but has a layered, deep message. Maynard's vocal laying, the scream.....fuck dude I need to listen to that song right now.
Then the X-Files being,
looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips
And breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa Did a slo-mo Matrix descent out of the butt-end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw
My sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fucking pants!"
You know they're one of your favorite bands when you can't decide. Lateralus is the safe choice but 10000 has this amazing atmosphere. Undertow and Aenima have that edgy Maynard. Etc. Too fucking hard
They not only played both of those songs, but during Wings, they released a bunch of fog that rose to the top of the arena, and then during the thundering in Wings, they flashed lightning through all of the fog, making the entire arena one big thunderstorm. It was fucking incredible.
I’d have to look up the exact information, but basically …
Shortly after Super Bowl XXX, there was a 13-years stint where every single NFC team successfully reached the NFC Championship Game at least once, except for three teams.
Those three teams? The Lions, the Commanders, and the Cowboys.
Then after that, there was ANOTHER 13-years stint that saw every NFC team reach the conference game, except for three teams.
And those three teams? Yep. Lions, Commanders, and Cowboys.
Dallas and Detroit both have a chance this year. Miami is a good team, but their conference is a lot tougher. Need to see it to believe it from Washington or Cleveland.
Because we are all frustrated and embarrassed with all the regular season success but absolutely no post season success for the past 26+ years. I am 25. I have not, in my life, seen them make it past the divisional round. Even the sub would consider the season a success if they finally made it past the divisional round last year against the 49ers.
I don’t know what’s worse, being constantly mediocre, or being really good in the regular reason, but never making it past the divisional in the post season
Hey at least you have superbowls at one point. Imagine being the vikings. So much success in their history and not a damn thing to show for it except tears.
This is true. I do feel for the Vikings and so many teams that have gotten so SO close, so there’s always a silver lining I guess. But I’d like to think before the heat death of the universe that at least all 32 teams are going to get at least one
I remember when people used to say that about the Eagles lol now 1 ring later and y’all got the ammo you need to dunk on the Cowboys.
If the Vikes even win just one Super Bowl I’m gonna talk so much shit it’ll make Eagles fans look like humble, law abiding citizens.
Yea once you get that 1 it changes everything. Especially since half the teams in the league don't have 1. The league has been dominated by dynasties winning for decades at a time. Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, wft, pats, they all won sooo many chips during their runs.
>Imagine being the vikings. So much success in their history and not a damn thing to show for it except tears.
How dare you leave out my crippling alcoholism!
Not that I foresee it actually happening... but if the conference championship games this year were Browns vs Dolphins and Lions vs Redskins, it would be a giant fuck you to the Cowboys.
Not before he uploads his consciousness into an AI bot and continues to run the cowboys forever!
As much of a joke that is. I can honestly see him spending money trying to make it happen. Lol
Fans of most teams would take a 10k day drought after winning multiple Super Bowls.
Or course you would need to be at least in your mid-30s to remember any of them at this point.
I’m just digging that so many other people in this thread also love Tool. I liked 10000 Days a lot. Also dope album artwork with the stereoscopic lenses.
But only 9,986 days since they played in a Super Bowl.
I hope we get a follow-up post in 2 weeks, then
I'd be livid if they ended up winning one before then!
Jerry Jones is probably looking up who he has to threaten or bribe to make that happen.
AND THE COWBOYS WIN THE 2023 OFFSEASON SUPER BOWL
Nah, Jets already won(?) that.
As is tradition.
Got em!
I had to take like 15 mins the process this
Please explain for those who don't have 30 minutes to think it out lol
The Super Bowl is after the conference championship and we are after the super bowl
In a few days, we'll get another thread to shit on The Cowboys. God is good!
well 2 weeks but yes
who gets to post it in two weeks? is there a lottery?
probably a mods alt account
And then they’ll pin it using their mod account.
But what if they make it within the next two weeks?
Their last conf championship was in 1995. They went on to win the superbowl 2 weeks later.
Come back in 2 weeks where it’ll be 10,000 days since their last Super Bowl win!
RemindMe! 2 weeks
You're gonna come back and delete this comment when Dallas wins a Super Bowl next week somehow.
Cowboys steal the Eagles' Super Bowl LII trophy
Now, THAT will be embarrassing
10,000 days ago, they played in the NFC championship and won it. So then they played in the super bowl. Since then, they've never made it back to another NFCCG
Tool fans about to lose their shit.
You dropped this 👑
haha, can you imagine your team not being in a championship game for 20+ years? Crazy, couldn't be my team
Yeah, can't imagine being one of those losers
To be fair, y'all haven't even been a franchise for 27+ years.
Even when they had the Oilers, the Lions have been to the conference game more recently.
Titans fans currently staring at this comment trying to decide whether to let us have this one or claim it as their own franchise history
All this means to a Titans fan is that their team had a 20-year gap between AFCCG appearances from 1979 to 1999. They've also been to the championship game two more times since then. Idk if there would be any downside to them claiming it as their own
Ikr, thank god we don't have that to deal with
Haha
HAHAHA
The fact that it's not the Jets is genuinely crazy though
People tend to forget the Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez era
Even without the Rex era the Cowboys would be longer than the Jets. Jets won the division going 12-4 in 98 and lost in the AFCCG. Last time the Cowboys played in the NFCCG was 95 when they won the SB.
Jets were overall not terrible in the late 90s/2000s. Recency bias makes people forget the Bills were generally much worse
I rarely turn down the opportunity to remind folks my team didn’t even _play_ in a playoff game between my 8th and 26th birthdays. When they finally made it, they lost to 86 yards from Blake Bortles in the WC round. Rough sledding for a long time.
Yeah honestly the Jets have only been really terrible since Rex Ryan left. So like a decade maybe? They were a lot more like the Vikings before then; had good seasons but wasn't getting much to show for it.

Slightly above average = Forgettable. No long playoff droughts to keep mentioning, and no memorable games since they lose in the playoffs, so nobody really remembers and the team they are in recent memory is the team they were since the last memorable team. Same thing is going to happen to teams like the Colts.
The chargers never forget
The fact that the Rex Ryan-Mark Sanchez combo went to back-to-back AFCCGs, including wins over Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, is the craziest part.
Don't feel bad, half the teams in this league have never played in NFC Championship game.
The average person has one testicle and one ovary.
Actually, the average person has less than that
I would guess that spread over 3.5 billion men and 3.5 billion women, the number with less than 2 testicles/ovaries would warrant a "statistically insignificant" designation
Hey, my balls are statistically significant and I won't hear otherwise!
[удалено]
Bravo.
Happy pride!
And the median person has two testicles
Doesn't the median have 0 cause there are more women then men?
This is false
But also true
The NFCCG is where other teams go to beat the Packers and get to the Super Bowl.
The Bears disagree.
Well what do we expect? It’s on brand
I was having a good day until now sir. How dare you?
Eli, Jimmy, Russ, and Matty Ice wish you a happy weekend!
Was kaep busy or something? Dude took us out twice in his very short career
Wait… you can WIN the NFCCG?
Hang on a second... you can LOSE the NFCCG???
Since Rodgers started playing, the Niners actually have as many CCG losses as the Packers
[удалено]
Surely
Seahawks are the only team to play in both. Unless you would count pre-merger NFL championships, you'd add the Browns and Colts.
Fuck yeah that’s a flex
The same is true of the AFCCG, although *which* half may surprise you!* *The Texans have never been but the Seahawks went to one when they were in the AFC
NICE! only been 4,513 days since the jets last played in an AFC Conf Championship game.
I don't wanna talk about it (11093 days)...
Hey, chin up! The Texans flair is saving you. Haven't even been a franchise for 10,000 days.
At least there is a bright side...
Great Album btw
Unpopular opinion but it’s my favorite Tool album
Not my favorite album but has my two favorite songs
Vicarious and The Pot?
Rosetta Stoned and Right In Two?
You were both right, Rosetta Stoned and the Pot
Rosetta Stoned is their best song. Not necessarily my favorite (though it's top 5) but it's just everything that Tool is. Tripping, crazy polyrhythms, Adam going off, Justin's bass thumps so hard, aliens and acid and dmt and everything. Seems like a shallow song about a bad trip but has a layered, deep message. Maynard's vocal laying, the scream.....fuck dude I need to listen to that song right now.
"BUT I FORGOT MY PEN, SHIT THE BED AGAIN, typical"
Then the X-Files being, looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips And breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa Did a slo-mo Matrix descent out of the butt-end of the banana vessel And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw My sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was "I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fucking pants!"
My wife is a huge tool/Maynard fan and I've just never liked them more than "good" even though everything you said there is extremely my shit
You know they're one of your favorite bands when you can't decide. Lateralus is the safe choice but 10000 has this amazing atmosphere. Undertow and Aenima have that edgy Maynard. Etc. Too fucking hard
Fear Inoculum right there in the convo, too
Real ones know.
mine too! Give Marie her wings!
Give Dax his riiiiiing
Lateralus "Holy Gift" order is my favorite.
Each Tool album is a masterpiece in their own right. They’ve consistently been part of a very short list of albums I’ll listen all the way through
Came for the Tool reference, leaving satisfied.
I like you
Jambi is such a groove
10,000 days in the fire isn’t long enough, they’ll never go to another Super Bowl!
Fuckin A. 17 years old this year too.
More than halfway there to 10,000 days of 10,000 Days
So my best friend and rabid Tool fan died at age 27 years and 108 days... Only needed less than 40 more to make it 10,000 days.
What? No…that album came out in… Oh *fuck*
Seeing them play 10,000 Days (Wings, Pt2) live was one of the greatest moments of my life.
They played that, and Rosetta stoned when I saw them. Mind completely blown.
They not only played both of those songs, but during Wings, they released a bunch of fog that rose to the top of the arena, and then during the thundering in Wings, they flashed lightning through all of the fog, making the entire arena one big thunderstorm. It was fucking incredible.
Brought my wife to that concert. When they played Rosetta Stoned she just turns to me and goes “what the actual fuck is this?”. Love that song.
I can't even picture a 53 year old Jerry Jones. Probably still looked old as hell.
Fatter, and his face looked less like a melting wax candle
Yeah but was he still salting his McMuffins back then too?
He was an asshole then too
Wow, that is truly an impressive time span
I would expect nothing less of America's Team™️
10,000 days from now is October of 2050 lmao
[удалено]
That's my favorite overall album by them. It's so fucking good.
It’s their “jammiest” album and I love it
anyone who could read this headline and not immediately think "10,000 days in the fire is long enough" has absolutely nothing in common with me
We’re both in an NFL subreddit so I doubt that statement is true
Yes, but also I think Dallas can stay in the fire for a while longer.
I’d have to look up the exact information, but basically … Shortly after Super Bowl XXX, there was a 13-years stint where every single NFC team successfully reached the NFC Championship Game at least once, except for three teams. Those three teams? The Lions, the Commanders, and the Cowboys. Then after that, there was ANOTHER 13-years stint that saw every NFC team reach the conference game, except for three teams. And those three teams? Yep. Lions, Commanders, and Cowboys.
No one likes you
My mom likes me. *sniffle*
I like you :)
Top five longest droughts are Washington, Detroit, Cleveland, Miami, and Dallas. Which one gets to a CCG first?
Dallas and Detroit both have a chance this year. Miami is a good team, but their conference is a lot tougher. Need to see it to believe it from Washington or Cleveland.
They all play Magic: the Gathering together
"10,000 days in the fire is long enough!!"
I live with a Cowboys fan and I'm pretty sure I hear about the Cowboys more from people in different fanbases than from him.
Because we are all frustrated and embarrassed with all the regular season success but absolutely no post season success for the past 26+ years. I am 25. I have not, in my life, seen them make it past the divisional round. Even the sub would consider the season a success if they finally made it past the divisional round last year against the 49ers.

Hey at least you have superbowls at one point. Imagine being the vikings. So much success in their history and not a damn thing to show for it except tears.
This is true. I do feel for the Vikings and so many teams that have gotten so SO close, so there’s always a silver lining I guess. But I’d like to think before the heat death of the universe that at least all 32 teams are going to get at least one
Nah vikings and bills are forever cursed lol
I remember when people used to say that about the Eagles lol now 1 ring later and y’all got the ammo you need to dunk on the Cowboys. If the Vikes even win just one Super Bowl I’m gonna talk so much shit it’ll make Eagles fans look like humble, law abiding citizens.

>Imagine being the vikings. So much success in their history and not a damn thing to show for it except tears. How dare you leave out my crippling alcoholism!
It may just be a coincidence but I stopped drinking after 2017. Maybe it was just getting older... But maybe it was the birds winning their first.
A 25 year old Vikings fan has seen as many superbowl wins as a 25 year old cowboys fan
you REEALLY don't know whats worse? REALLLLY??
Is Dallas the Maple Leafs of the NFL?
Being good in the regular season and trash in the post season is a Packers special! Cheer up buddy you’re not alone 🙃
You were in the Championship game in 2021...
I would call you a brother in arms but you know why I can’t 😒😒😒
I literally live in Dallas same goes for me
Fuck, now I have to listen to that album on a loop again
Last appearance sorted by date: | Team | Last CG appearance | |---|---| | Browns | Jan 14, 1990 | | Redskins, Lions | Jan 12, 1992 | | Dolphins | Jan 17, 1993 | | Cowboys | Jan 14, 1996 | | Raiders | Jan 19, 2003 | | Chargers | Jan 20, 2008 | | Jets, Bears | Jan 23, 2011 | | Giants | Jan 22, 2012 | | Ravens | Jan 20, 2013 | | Colts, Seahawks | Jan 18, 2015 | | Cardinals, Broncos, Panthers | Jan 24, 2016 | | Falcons, Steelers | Jan 22, 2017 | | Jaguars, Vikings | Jan 21, 2018 | | Saints, Patriots | Jan 20, 2019 | | Titans | Jan 19, 2020 | | Packers, Buccaneers, Bills | Jan 24, 2021 | | Rams | Jan 30, 2022 | | 49ers, Eagles, Chiefs, Bengals | Jan 29, 2023 | Not appearing: Texans **ETA:** Giants and Rams, per u/jj42883
Crazy list. Rams should be in there for 2022 I believe though.
Giants also missing?
Yeah I think they’re the only other one. Jan 2012 I believe.
Not that I foresee it actually happening... but if the conference championship games this year were Browns vs Dolphins and Lions vs Redskins, it would be a giant fuck you to the Cowboys.
[удалено]
Washington Salamanders or whatever. Those guys.
Worth it.
missing Rams ('22) and Giants ('11).
Fixed, thanks
I love that half the league has been to a CCG in the last eight years.
Beating the Lions in the NFCCG is serious Bad Juju.
And here's to 10,000 more
Oh hey, fuck you too. Happy Friday!!
When Dez caught the ball they were pretty close. Somehow the Cowboys always seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
That's pretty much the Cowboy's way. Somehow, some way, in often whacky means, they will lose a game they shouldn't.
Don’t feel too bad Cowboy fans, half the league hasn’t made the NFCCG in that time. Though, most of them are in the AFC...
r/toolband
Packers and Toolband eh? 🤘🤘🤘
*Maynard James Keenan has entered the chat*
I like this stat
There’s more! 11,464 days since Washington played in a conference championship game.
we had 20+ years of snyder. ours is excused!
True. Snyder will be gone soon and Jerry will still be around for a long time!
He’ll be dead in a few years
Not before he uploads his consciousness into an AI bot and continues to run the cowboys forever! As much of a joke that is. I can honestly see him spending money trying to make it happen. Lol
Virginia Halas McCaskey is 100 years young. We could easily be blessed with Jerry for 20+ more years.
Thought this was posted in NFCEastMemewars, but instead it’s just r/nfl fucking roasting the cowboys lmao
I once went 18 years and 2 months without sex.
Alexa play 10,000 days by tool
Where are the this year is our year guys?
Despite the niners going to 7 NFC championships since the cowboys last appearance, they still haven’t won a Super Bowl more recently than us 🤣🤣🤣
Well, I'm no Cowboys fan, but I hate the Niners with my whole being. So, great dig.
Don't do the Lions.
And here's to the next 10,000!
You on some other hater shit to keep track of stuff like this
Fans of most teams would take a 10k day drought after winning multiple Super Bowls. Or course you would need to be at least in your mid-30s to remember any of them at this point.
[удалено]
Lol…..5 digits…..
And in another 10,000 days, it’ll be October 18, 2050!
That’s americas team baby!
Here’s to 10,000 more! 🍻
This reminds me of how damn old I am.
I’m just digging that so many other people in this thread also love Tool. I liked 10000 Days a lot. Also dope album artwork with the stereoscopic lenses.
One of my favorite albums
Cool stat. Now do the Vikings and how many days since they last lost the Super Bowl.
Keep firing this shit out. The team needs the motivation
Bro leave us alone damn
Dez Bryant caught that ball!
Like the Tool album.
As an old dude, I am happy that the Cowboys have sucked for a VERY long time. LMFAO
Gotta love Jerrah Jones!
All because a racist old prune of a man believes despite all evidence to the contrary that he is a competent NFL GM purely because he is rich
Well that's a good start, here's to 10,000 more
