Time to find out who the real Dallas Cowboys fanatics are.

Roll call.

It has nothing to do with fanatics.

It has to do with being able to realistically assess a season.

And yes, I've officially thrown in the towel on the 2012 campaign.

The most rational thing to do is to not expect playoff success. I suppose there are legitimate cases to make for a playoff spot, however.

No offense, but those of you who have done this, please go find another thread to play in.

How does one "give up"?

I have never done that and will never do it no matter the odds or how hopeless it looks.

This thread is for those who feel the same way. It's not for those who call themselves realists to come in and rain on the parade. (There are plenty of other threads for the "woe-is-me" crowd.)

Absolutely not, then.

There's a decent chance three or four teams will be tied for the final wildcard spot at 6-6 next week -- the Cowboys among them.

Thanks.

yeah it's amazing isn't it. tampa, seattle, and minnesota all have tough games on the road.

i think i wouldn't mind if the giants won next week and knocked out the skins.

Then you're not a fanatic and you need to leave now. Thanks.

fanatic — a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal
