IRVING – The scoreboard may not agree with Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips, but he feels Sunday's loss to the Giants was not reflective of his team's performance.
"After looking at the tape, I feel like the best team lost the game," he said. "I thought we outplayed them. But we lost. Certainly, that goes directly to the coach, and I accept that."
The loss dropped Phillips' postseason record as a head coach to 0-4, and it marks the second straight season he's taken part in a one-and-done by a top seed. Last year, Phillips was the Chargers' defensive coordinator when San Diego was upended by the fourth-seeded Patriots in the divisional round.
Phillips extolled the virtues of a 13-4 season and the Cowboys' 12 Pro Bowl selections, an NFL record. And he emphasized that the team had four more wins than a year ago and was eliminated a round deeper into the playoffs.
Still, he said he is aware of the high standards that come with his job.
"That's the way it is every year," Phillips said. "If you don't win the Super Bowl, then it's disappointing."
that.
I am as big a Cowboys fan there is and this is bull . They pissed away a 13-3 season and home field advantage with the one thing that, frankly, plagued them all season. A lack of discipline. 11 penalties for 84 yards in a playoff game? Unexcusable. I couldn't find a stat for most penalized team of the season but I would bet Dallas was top 5.
Wade...this is why you have never won a playoff game. When a team beats you....you were NOT the better team. I have called out people on this board for being guilty of a lack of sportsmanship when they don't give another team credit for beating one of their teams. Same applies here. Man up Wade. Your team lost. It sucks but its your own fault. No moral victories, no "but we were better" bull . If you were better on Sunday, you would have won the game. Is the Cowboys roster more talented? Absolutely. Did that more talented roster get worked Sunday?
Absolutely.
Stop being a , Wade.
