Anyone else excited about this weekend? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Cowboy4ever · 10-09-2012

I am. I know we haven't played very good this year. I watch the same OL that everyone else watches, so I don't need to know how bad they suck! But here is the deal, for me anyway, I said I see a change in this team. I feel this team is meant to do something great, this year. That starts Sunday. The team as had it's butt handed to it 2 out of the last 3 games. If they have any heart at all, they man up and come out and take it to the Ravens. I think they have heart. I think they have some fight in them. I think they will take it to the Ravens.

Fire away, bash away, whatever you feel like you need to do. I will be in front of that TV on Sunday, expecting (not wishing, not hoping they prove me wrong or whatever the catch phrase is today) a win by MY Boys! The next 5 games will define this team and season.. I say we go 4-1 and have a 6-3 record when its all said and done.

Sunday's Score: Cowboys 24 Ravens 10.

To borrow a saying: Book IT!

Yea, I doubt that will happen... Hope so, but it's doubtful...

Cowboys&LakersFan · 10-09-2012

Not really.

GloryDaysRBack · 10-09-2012

It's always exciting

Until the game starts

HoosierCowboy · 10-09-2012

I'm excited too--it's my favorite team and I'm going to pull for them and hope they win--if they have quit, we'll see it Sunday--if they are going to fight and play to win for the rest of the year, win or lose, I'll stick with them

So do I. I wish I could be also, but watching this team lay an egg, time after time is getting old. I am hoping for the best but expecting the worse.

Yeah. I took a week off too. But I'm not missing a cowboys game. You're a better man than I am.

Rynie · 10-09-2012

I'm so excited that I think I'll start drinking at 11. That way, when we have already lost the game by halftime..HEY..at least I'll be drunk by then.

I am ALWAYS excited for football sunday and even though I have low expectations for the boys I will still watch.

Apollo Creed · 10-09-2012

I always get pumped for Cowboys' games but at some point you have to start tempering expectations.

I was holding out hope before the Bears game that this team could show the world on Monday night how they weren't the same old Cowboys - but in typical Cowboy fashion, they embarassed themselves and showed that they are a team incapable of getting out their own way.

Which is even more frustrating, because I'd rather watch a team systematically whoop our butts - than for us to go out and straight up hand W's away. It's not like Cutler and the Bears defense were dominating us, we handed them 21 points. Just like we gave the Seahawks 10 before anyone could break a sweat.

I really haven't seen this team really put it together in quite a while. Perhaps the 2009 run, and the 13-3 2007 squad had flashes of brilliance. But then, just like now - they are a fundamentally flawed team with major glaring holes that prevent them from being able to consistently win games.

So, of course I'm excited, we post on a Cowboys message board so I'd hope everyone else has a pulse and wants this team to win as much as I do. But after a while, watching the same show gets boring after a while, especially when the majority of us are pretty affluent enough to recognize trends and patterns in a team we obsess over. Given the resources here and the visibility of the Cowboys through the media, you'd have to pretty dense to assume that suddenly this team is going to magically put everything together and go on a major run against this schedule. It's all about expectations and I personally don't expect much from the 2012 Cowboys.

Out of 4 games, I've seen 1 half of what I'd term as "watchable football;" and that was the 2nd half against the Giants. Everything else has been a catalogue of epic failure that a college team would find embarrassing. So I'm not sure I can say I'm looking forward to it, but as a father of two that works fulltime, I'm really hoping I can at least walk away from this game feeling as though it was time well spent. Because I can't say that of the last three games I watched. My time is way to valuable to continue seeing games like last week. And by the way, they don't have to win for me to enjoy watching; just be competitive.
