Should I be a disgruntled Cowboys fan?

Sad way to live. It will eat you up. Just listen to all the haters here. They’re miserable.

so you are miserable? you constantly are complaining about everybody's opinion that differs from yours.

You make a connection between their dissatisfaction with a football team and their real lives?

I see people here that are disgusted with this franchise but they're not miserable. Most seem grounded and realize this is nothing more than a pastime, it ain't real life. The ones that are miserable are the ones that confuse it with real life.

Well, I see it differently.

Love them or hate them
They are still my team...

that's okay. i bet you use to get this on your performance review, "doesn't work well with others"

FIFY

I'm hoping we win. You are hoping we lose.

wrong again.

After a quarter-century of no NFC championships, all Cowboys fans should be disgruntled.

 

[JW82]

Nor do I. And I am just as frustrated about the last 25 years as everyone else. I've been a fan since.1970. I lived through the Super Bowls. But I choose to think that the next signing or next hire or next draft pick will be the one to bring us back to the top. Life is too short to always be miserable.

Don’t confuse being skeptical with not rooting for the team. 25 years of crappy football easily justifies the negativity. All the team needs to do is win and that goes away.

Bull****. We all strive for greatness. Not one person here is satisfied with mediocrity. That’s just a stupid argument people like you use to try and make yourselves feel better.

Actually, @Section446 is right, many around here are satisfied with mediocrity. Even some in the FO seem to be fond of mediocrity, even in those seasons where mediocrity is the best we can hope for, the FO shoots for it rather than tank so we can get better players in the following draft and then get better than mediocre.

No one is satisfied with mediocrity. Fans, coaches and ownership. There are players that only care abut their pay check however.

You keep denying reality by telling yourself that. Have fun.

It’s just common sense. Think about it.

Your sense isn't common. You're a rare breed... thank God.

Whenever I log on to this board or any other cowboy forum, I encounter the disgruntled Cowboys fan. You know the type. The ones that ask the typical disgruntled questions. Why did they sign this guy? Or why didn't they sign this guy? Why did they draft this player. Or why wouldn't they draft this player instead? How could they not win that game? Or why did they bother to win that game?
And not just that. They have to make fun of the fans that are trying to stay positive. Or bring them down to their belief level. If a fan makes a post asking what we need to do in free agency, they will answer with the equivalent of 'what's the use?' Their answers will infer that whatever they do, it will be the wrong thing.
I get it. We haven't won anything in over a quarter of a century. We have a meddlesome owner. We are known as America's Team (worse thing to ever happen to us.) We have an atrocious defense.We paid Zeke. We paid Jaylon. We drafted Taco. Again, we haven't won anything in over a quarter of a century. God knows that there is reason to be disgruntled.
But I choose not to go that path. As do many of the other board members. We know of our challenges and our weaknesses. But we choose to ponder about what we need to do to overcome those challenges and weaknesses. When they sign a mid-tier free agent, we try to figure out how they will use them rather then complain about the fact that they didn't sign a top-tier player.
There are many ways to skin a cat and the Cowboys choose to do if with drafting well, signing second-level free agents and then turning those players into compensatory picks if they choose to leave. Yeah, we have missed on some draft picks but we are one of the best in the league at picking college talent. That's a fact, Jack.
So I ask the disgruntled fans that stay on these forums and others like it. Why? Why continue to be a Cowboys fan if it is so negative and depressing? Isn't it the conventional wisdom to purge things from your life that make you unhappy? I, myself, will not read, listen or watch anything Cowboys related after a tough loss because it hurts to think about it. So I understand the concept of out of sight, out of mind when it comes to the Boys.
Anyway, I know that this post isn't gonna change any minds or mindsets in regards to the Cowboys. And I know that everyone is allowed to be Cowboys fans, including the Negative Nancys in our group. I live in the Philly area so I see the negativity about the Boys every day. So I'm used to it.
Have a good day, y'all, and How bout them Cowboys!!

You came to the wrong place if you want to find Cowboy fans who love the team and root for them. They are rare as hen’s teeth around here.

Pretty much any other Cowboy forum, subreddit or blog is more likely to let you find some fans.

Honestly, it’s depressing

Be what you want to be as a fan. What others say is really nothing that would make you any different. The thing is, there are so many "right fighters" that if you have a different opinion of this team...well, you will be called childish names. You can spot them a mile away. So, just let them form their own thing in their mind, the rest is just fluff...unless you want to get into a pee
pee match. They thrive on drama.

Cowboys on three...1 2 3.
