We had a great offense and defense in 2007 and a great offense/average defense in 2014 and 2016. All three playoff runs were undone by those unlucky bounces that make single elimination format so perilous. All three teams were more than good enough to win a title.
People don't like it because it's a lot more fun channeling anger towards curses, bad ownership, etc. but the reality is a lot of it has just been bad luck. Nothing Jerry did or didn't do kept us from winning it all those three years at a minimum.
The Patrick Crayton drop in 2007 still haunts my dreams.
Honestly that one bothers me less than him quitting on his route on third down on the final drive. It's commonly accepted he'd have scored on the drop, and he may have, but it would have been a foot race with a safety and corner chasing and Crayton wasn't a fast guy. He definitely gets us in FG range but I'm not sure he scores.
But on the second to last play of the game Romo threw a perfect ball to the back corner of the end zone and because Crayton had slowed up thinking he wasn't getting the ball he couldn't get it, but the corner was beat and that would have definitely been a game winning TD.
I know what you mean and don't disagree... but the drop was the '92 Alvin Harper play all over again. I don't think it's a TD but it's a foot race and they probably don't catch him until he's inside the 15. I think that play would have broken the Giants.
And what really sucks about it... Romo made an absolutely impossible throw. Rolling to his left, side-arming it back to the right around a defender for a perfect 15 yard pass. It was a play that rivals Mahomes greatest moments..... except Mahomes guys always catch the F*******ing football!!!!!!!!
