I have changed somehow. I still love it, but I no longer die when they lose. Used to be a time where I would skip all kinds of functions because my Boys were playing. I’m no longer that person for some reason. Not exactly sure what turned it for me, interesting!

Fan’s don’t give up. You have so spare me the I’ve been a fan since 1971 BS.
Had to see what delusional poster he was referring to so I unignored the content in this thread and no surprise, look who it was.

Ridiculous comment. Some of us are fans who are realistic who may or may not be optimistic and then there are homers like you. Giving up? Lol, do you think we’re zeke? Do you see us on the field tapping out? It doesn’t matter one iota what I think will happen to this team because I don’t effect it any way. As much as you like to think your homerism somehow translates to winning you’re sadly mistaken and clearly need to do a better job.

Congrats on winning your own fan contest, you’re clearly the best fan EVER!

No, I'll never leave. I'll watch all the games. Is just that I'm not going to get all excited with the next LVE we draft or the next Dontari Poe we sign. But I'll be rooting for them to win always.
That’s good. I still get excited after every draft. Been a fan long before you. I never give up hope.

Only an idiot would think their being optimistic and hopeful for the team to succeed would in fact make the team succeed. Unless of course they were at the game. You’ve been a Debbie Downer for as long as I’ve been here even during the 2016 season you were always *****ing about something or someone.

I can't control that, so I just hope for the best.
You can't control it but you know about it. Hope for the best, okay, but you know it will never meet expectations. Especially when we use to cheer this team on to multiple Super Bowl victories. Sorry, I just can't hope for the best anymore.

If you were given a crap sandwich, you're not going to bite into it hoping it tastes great. You know it just won't. But that is what you are doing by hoping for the best from this team. It's a crap sandwich and no matter how many times you bite into it, it's always going to taste like crap, no matter how hard you hope otherwise.

Don’t give up Joe. Things can change. They’ve already got the #1 offense in the NFL. Just need to fix the defense. Quinn is a good start. We have a lot of draft picks and there’s FA. We’re not as far away as many here think.

Nah, just zeke and I see you’re still a hypocrite complaining about people complaining. Carry on homer, I’m jealous of you as a fan, you’re the gold standard!

As a former coach, every off season was exciting! Wether, it was middle school, HS or as a Pro football fan, every off season brought me joy! Didn't matter if we were rebuilding or coming off a great year, didn't matter.
I don't coach anymore, but I still feel the same. I don't control who is on the team, I just know that every team, no matter what level, feels the same. Championship, or bust!! Bust your butt!!! That's all that matters. I don't think our defensive players busted their butts last year. If our new defensive staff can get them to buy in and we are lucky enough to add a couple of pieces????? Championship!!!!
Salud!!!!

Yes sir, this is yet another opportunity to improve the team. Get it done..

My hopes for the team are just beat down to shreds. It all stems from the ownership... they are grooming a new generation of incompetent Jones to take over... so it never ends. I'm reduced to watching old game film when Roger Staubach was coached by legendary Coach Landry in the good old days. I can't wait to hear Drew Pearson's HoF acceptance speech later this year.

Nope, not me this year, I naively tried being optimistic the past couple of years only to be let down like I have every other time over the past 25 years. I’m staying negative until we win our first playoff game. The Dallas Cowboys are synonymous with fools gold.

I don’t care about injuries, who we draft or who we pick up in FA...this team until they prove the world otherwise. There’s plenty of people to keep Jerry’s Kool Aid taps flowing but I won’t be one of them this year, no sir.

To sum it up, the way I look at it is if I expect the team to be bad or not win playoff games then I can’t be disappointed but if they do I’ll be pleasantly surprised. I’m not setting myself up for disappointment this year like I have in the past.

P.S You suck Jerry

Having hope for next year is a crappy way to perpetually deal with disappointment....just go ask browns and bengals fans...their teams have single handily increased the depression rate in Ohio.

hope sucks, at some point it becomes so empty that even though you “hope” you get to the point where you aren’t interested.....feels like this fan base is just about there.

Everyone is different. I’ve got 3 kids and they are a different as night and day. So it’s not a given that the new Jones generation is going to be like the previous.
