Have we become so used to Jerry that anytime he does bare minimum we praise him?

[Old'Boyfan]

Who has been "praising" Jerry? I haven't seen it.
Is thanking him for being less involved considered praise??

 

[LouBrown]

OK little boy. Why don't you quit the silly childhood stuff? Pipe down. Did your 3rd grade teacher say that today?

Why don't we switch to real football discussions and leave the grade school stuff in the classroom?

You're not capable of real football discussion because a) you can't read and b) every point you make is "because I said so."

 

[phildadon86]

I’m confused by the response.

Not shocking.

Here i will spell it out for you.

For you to actually sit there straight faced and wonder why fans are tentative on this team shows you have a completely false sense of the reality of the last 30 years.

 

[Deionindahood]

Well, if you don’t think so, well, then I have to ask a serious question
Why do you remain a cowboy fan if you’re so disgruntle

I think the reverse can be asked as well.
Some fans accepted failure, defeat, mismanagement, and ineptitude each season and come back for more.
Very few marriages would suffer 31 years of distrust and failure and remain intact. Living through self-imposed disappointment year after year is warrant of a mental health evaluation.

I don’t get it because scary. It’s just sports. What happens if you are excited about this team and they fail? You die? You go to jail? That’s what I mean. You guys are acting scary. Live in the moment. What happened last year or even 30 years ago has no bearing on what will happen this year. But have at it. Fan the way you want. Just don’t get upset that some are excited is all I’m saying.

Well, he did ask that question
I’m not questioning his fandom, I’m asking why he is one, do you know why you are I know why I am

I was a fan since Jimmy Johnson. I enjoyed watching his teams and their success. Since '96, under Jerry's leadership, the team has been a complete disappointment. I live in the western part of NY state and began watching the Bills. I got tired of Jerry screwing up each season and the subsequent disappointments that followed. I still follow the Boys, but I enjoy the feeling of watching a team have success in the post-season.

I love the star, what it represents, I’ve been a fan since the 60s, that’s all I wanted to know and I appreciate the answer
I live in New England 25 minutes from Gillette Stadium, I missed so many great Brady football games, because of the Cowboys,
I don’t regret any of it, go Cowboys

Not what I was saying.

You literally asked "how fans can be tentative" one that shows a complete lack of reality. Two, its you saying, if you arent excited you arent a fan in a roundabout way.

You can pretend to be Switzerland all you want. I will call out what I see.

And you are just like the rest of them.

If you dont wave and cheer for this team, you arent a fan. Thats how you look at it.

And the fact you can sit there straight faced and act shocked that fans after 30 years are apprehensive is shocking in its own right.

I didn’t literally say anything. What I said and what you bolded was “I don’t get how fans want to temper expectations”. Let me clarify what it actually means since you think that equates to me saying you aren’t a fan.

I said fan how you want. But trying to temper expectations other fans have is weak. If you want to be pessimistic have at it. No one is telling you how to fan im doing the opposite. I’m saying let fans fan how they want. If guys are excited why are you trying to temper expectations they have? Because they don’t share your opinion? They aren’t scared?

So to clarify….

Fan how you want.
Boo if you want.
Get excited if you want.

Pretend to be Switzerland? Man you’re weird man lol. I hope you have a good nfl season and enjoy it whether it’s being happy or negative just enjoy it you’re on some weird stuff lately.

 

[gtb1943]

Maybe our team motto should be
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL

because that is pretty much all we have

No. YOU are now backtracking because your realize how crazy what you said is.

Imagine telling a fan base with 30 years of failure that you dont understand them trying to temper their expectations.

Thats like telling an oncologist to be excited about the new tobacco products coming out.

I’m
Backtracking? My posts have been consistent….

Mind you this all started because you said they did the “bare minimum”….now pages later it’s an argument about tempering expectations lol. You’re all over the place which is par for the course and then you pretend to be the one confused or someone trying to dupe you. It’s insanity. What exactly do
You think temper expectations mean? Just curious….

Exactly what it says.

If you were referring to others telling you to temper YOUR expectations, you did a bad job of wording it. It came across as you were confused as to why fans choose to temper THEIR expectations.

Which if you look at the last 2 decades, is a weird thing to say.

They did do the bare minimum.

They actually worked this offseason and youre acting like we should all be happy about them FINALLY doing their job.

THIS IS THE EXPECTATION OF A FANBASE. Thats all I was pointing out.

Of course you come to the rescue of the FO. The same FO by the way who let MM coach his final year with Zeke as the RB. After getting destroyed by the 7 seed at home.

In case you forgot who runs this team.

I said what I meant. Why are fans tempering expectations? You got triggered over it.

I never said you should be happy about their offseason. I feel
They did the most in the division to succeed. Will it work? I don’t know. But I liked their offseason.

I say the front office sucks 24/7 and I say they did more than the bare minimum and that was triggering. I guess. I don’t even know what you’re talking about with Zeke. Could’ve swore they cut Zeke Mikes last year here but I don’t even know what reference this has or point this has to this year or even last year.

Of course you dont.

You base your opinions on this team season by season apparently.

If you cant understand why questioning fans who are tempering their expectations of this team is triggering. You are either being intentionally obtuse or are actually in your own little world.

No I don’t get how an opinion is triggering. You seem to be the only one triggered by this specifically. There are some
Who get triggered by Dak stuff and I don’t get that either.

And yeah I base my opinion a on this team by season. I for sure don’t base it off of want happened in 1993 or 2023.

Well you can do that.

I will temper my expectations because this team was amazing in 2007, lost, amazing in 2016, lost amazing in 2021, lost....

I will fan how i choose to. You can silently judge all you want.

Buddy….i said fan how you want. No I’m not giving permission I’m simply saying you can do it how you want. Nobodies opinion is gonna get changed. And if they win guess what? No one will care. If they lose? You will
Be here to remind us how you were right lol. Have at it lol.
