It seems to me this braggish talk by Dez doesn't accomplish anything worthwhile. It simply comes off as being a refusal to accept the need for a sense of urgency. This team is in trouble. Any puffed up talk is simply unrealistic.

If we turn this around & win the division, there's gonna be a lot of dopey looking people in here, who doubted his words. *Wishful thinking*

Go back and read your post. You started by saying what Dez should or shouldn't be saying. Not what you wanted for yourself.

Bottom line is you have a defeatist attitude. He doesn't. That's what bothers you. That you can't and don't have that fight. To a player like Dez part of not giving up and being a sissified quitter is not hanging his head as the crowd shouts him and his teamates down with taunts. Rather, he talks back to let them know he's not giving up and he's confident enough to put it out there with the risk of being wrong. Whatever risk that is. At least he's putting that "out there".
Unlike a quitter who walks around with his head down whining about the team. And cries "we don't have a chance" then puts nothing out there. Just quits.

Man you are truly clueless aren't you. I'm just a fan you weirdo, I can't have a defeatist attitude or a winning attitude, because I'M NOT PLAYING. Dez is an actual player so yes, his attitude matters, but as of right now HE IS NOT PLAYING, so him running his mouth to a bunch of fans about "running the East" is foolish because he isn't out there to back up his talking. Like I said before, if Dez was actually playing, I would have no problem with him saying this because he would have the opportunity to go out there and back up his talk. Your problem is that you like to worship Dez Bryant and any other Cowboy players that you like. It's very weird for a grown man to be so in to their feelings about football players. Grow up man or create a better argument because right now, you're just flat out embarrassing yourself.

Youthful braggadocio seems to come with the territory. While I am more of a be quiet, put your head down , and work your rear off person myself, I suppose Dez's outspoken optimism is better than defeatism.

Both unbridled optimism and hopeless defeatism seem properly categorized in the extreme to me. Romo and Dez, being players such as they are, may have valid excuses for feeling that way, though. I'm disposed to look at these things more from an objective standpoint, despite my being a diehard fan. To each his own, I suppose. No biggie.

Now you're accusing me of having a crush on Dez. Interesting. That's called projection.

You can't have a defeatist attitude as a fan? That's really very dumb to say. Or maybe it's denial.

You may need to take a look at the choices you make. Only you are responsible for you. If attacking me makes you feel better, or Dez, or any others you may lash at out, then it's very likely you do indeed need to look at yourself and your choices for the explanation of your anger. Possibly that's why you feel the need to tell others how to act.:thumbup:But since you like to tell me how Dez or anyone should react when several people are yelling taunts to you and your teamates. Try to imagine yourself in a leadership role as Dez is.

Please stop yelling at me with all caps. It's frightening.

History says it can be done.

Yes but saying it's possible and boasting it'll happen are two entirely different things, especially under such desperate circumstances. I can't blame Dez and Tony for being proudly competitive but perhaps a sense of urgency might be considerably more realistic.

You obviously are just replying just to talk more nonsense, nothing you just said is relevant to what my initial point was. I never once said that you have a crush on Dez, so not only are you a hypocrite, you're a liar now too.

I'll ask one more time. How should a team leader react when he and his teamates, who he is a leader of, react to several fans taunting them about the loss of their team just experienced. Who knows possibly even calling him out by name. How would you react?
How should one react? I trust your advice because you seem so well adjusted and would probably be able to remain calm.

How am I a hippocrite again?
Any more implications, accusations, or names you'd like to call me? Go ahead. You're funny
:laugh:

Just re read what you've been posting back to me and you will see your lies and your hypocrisy. I'm not going to explain anything else to you, I don't think you're capable of having a logical conversation.

I knew you couldn't answer.

Dez reacted normally given the situation and should be applauded for not being a coward and tucking his tail and running like some fans like to do.

There. I did it for you.

You owe me:thumbup:

I already answered you, you're just mentally incapable of grasping it.

it was a comment he should of not have made because he was not playing you don't take comments like that serious unless the team is capable of backing them up and so far they are not

I don't mind these types of comments from key players. Wasn't it just 2 weeks ago we heard Romo make the "see you in February" comment?

As long as they're not running their mouth constantly talking trash, then it doesn't bother me.

I like to know they still have faith. Haven't conceded defeat. We're still in this.

I agree, but there is a fine line. After awhile you start to look like a self promoting idiot and eventually people just ignore you.
He isnt there yet, but if he is still going on about being the best after these next 2 losses.......I think there might be a disconnect somehwere with him.

personally I find it dumb. Its false confidence. They ate the cheese last year and are still in that frame of mind;

I would like them all to just shutup . And maybe win a game. One game. Before they run their mouths about SB or winning the East.


A first down, some TDs , good defense and a W is what are goal should be right now. were 2-4 and people are talking about Super Bowl.....


They ate the cheese; They arent that good. Which has really surprised me. I ate the cheese too...............

Well curious to see how he plays and what effect it has on winning the next 3.
Actions speak louder than words, but you know they ask him something, he is gonna say things like this, it is no big deal.

You trolled this same line all offseason. "They" are undefeated with their best players. You think that's not good because...
