Sad Fan Zone

[RustyBourneHorse]

Can't enjoy this game. We either win and know we are going to end up with 7 or 8 wins and JG or lose and have a 4 game losing streak. While it might get Garrett out of here it's a far cry from all the Sb talk a few weeks ago.

That's why we should invent our own fun like English Football fans do. Perhaps borrow chant like the one I posted to start with.

Yes, every fan has a right to complain, whine, attack players and coaches, and express his or her displeasure, but I find it sad when I have to go to the news zone to read anything about the Eagles game.
It’s one thing to be unhappy for a couple of days after a loss, but as the weekend approaches, the Fan Zone is nothing more than the Drama Zone.

I’ll express my gratitude now for the genius posts that remind me I don’t have to visit Cowboys zone. Thank You!

It’s just sad that a couple days before the Eagles come to town, all the threads are about everything but the game. I’ve seen 5-11 seasons when fans still cared about the upcoming game.

I’ve seen 5-11 seasons when fans still cared about the upcoming game...........Um why were they addicted to disappointment?

As if "calling out posters" isn't itself an "attack response.



There is no difference. It's nice to see that you clearly don't get it at all.



Here's a thought, go create a 'Happy Place' forum, where only positive comments are allowed, and censorship runs rampant.

Make it so that you see only what you can bear to see. Where you can only bring up how many wins the Cowboys have, but not that 'other column'!

Talk about touchdown passes but not turnovers. Bring up sacks the defense gets, but not the ones the offense allows.

Sanitize and censor it to where you have things just the way you like it, where 'everything is awesome'.

Your own 'Happy Place'.

Thanks for chiming in.
It's always nice when I make a post and a troll like you jumps in to strengthen my point.

"drama" zone? Your post here is full of "drama" in your choice of exaggerated words like "whine" and "attack" and "sad"

Sorry, but "whine" is NOT an exaggeration. It's a staple 'round these parts.

Prediction Time:

Ok wow this one is a tough call because both teams suck so predicting a winner won't be easy and I'll still not sure who I like as of right now. The Cowboys are really banged up and even if Smith and Collins play it still doesn't guarantee anything plus Cooper looks to be out (huge loss). Now as far as the Cowboys defense goes, um what defense? The Jets who were last in every possible offensive category torched the Cowboy's defense last week which was extremely embarrassing. As far as the Eagles go they're not much better. Their defense is just as pathetic as the Cowboys and Kurt Cousin ripped them apart last week. So with that being said what gives? If the Cowboys lose Garrett is done (should have been fired at halftime against the Jets) if they win they're still in first place in an awful division. Now there is one thing that the Cowboys have going for them Dak Prescott dominates the NFC East and the Eagles but in the end I think it will come down to a Brett Maher chip shot field goal attempt. Sorry folks wide right.

Eagles 24
Cowboys 23

It's more for in the stadium as it's for the team to hear haha.

Still in all, I fancy myself singing in a Barbershop Quartet,.... with men, by men, in the presence of men.

 

[Proximo]

If I do, will you have the guts to say something before the game this time or will it be more hiding until after the fact once again?

LOL as if “having guts” has anything to do with posting on an Internet forum.

I never explicitly claimed to KNOW the outcome of that game before it happened....and I don’t claim to KNOW what the outcome of this game will be, either.

If I did have a prediction, I would certainly present it and phrase it as such, as my OPINION.
The difference is, when you made that thread, you stated your PREDICTION as FACT. And of course that post couldn’t have been more wrong.

And if you truly don’t think you deserved to get a little ball busting for it, then you either don’t have a sense of humor, or you take this place way too seriously.

This literally makes zero sense and there is no difference between what he did and what you feel is whining about the team. Frankly, people complaining about a team that has lost three straight, the last two where they got their brains beat in to start the game, is largely perfectly acceptable fan behavior. What fanbase would be happy, what fan forum would be daisies and donuts after this stretch? None.

What's weird and bizarre is logging onto a site to make a post that you aren't happy with the negative posters. One, its hardly going to change the tone or attitude of a forum. Only the team can really change the attitudes of a fanbase with wins. Two, if it bothers you so much, why would you even post here? I avoid certain message boards that I used to frequent because of the tone and direction the board went. I didn't show up and whine or complain about how I didn't like what the posters were saying. I just stopped going because I was smart enough that my whining wouldn't change anything and it would make me look like a baby and petty.

And thirdly, if you want the tone of the board to change, you are really yelling at the wrong entity here. It's not the fans. It's the team you should be pissed at.

Just because you can't comprehend something doesnt mean it makes no sense. Sometimes its you.
You are taking the extreme positions in an effort to make the noise drown out the reality.
You are choosing to ignore the points again and try to pull points to an extreme position because you are more comfortable debating from this position. Read the OP's post again. Then read my response again.
The OP isnt saying everyone or anyone should be happy. I'm not saying everyone or anyone should pump sunshine or be so happy about the teams losing streak. This is the way you attempted to frame others position so you could debate from a position you feel comfortable you could win. Unfortunately I'm beyond these amateur debate tactics.

The OP stated that its now the end of the week and their are no threads talking about the game we are about to play. No threads talking about Wentz, if Desean Jackson will play and what problems he presents, if our Ol can keep the eagles pass rush out of our backfield ect... The board has become overtaken with trollish post. Self hating fans fighting with other fans if they don't believe everything about the team sucks. We have a group of trolls on here (are you one?) who will enter any thread and trolljack it trying to pull others into a debate about Zeke's contract or Daks upcoming contract or which other inflammatory post they can think of. Some people sound like they are having a 7 days per week temper tantrum.

Now you will respond with something else stupid that avoids the meaning because you feel your troll island is getting called out.
Go ahead. I'm waiting.

There is no comprehension problems here. Your point wasn't very logical or well thought out.

There's no exaggeration here, the OP and apparently you, want way more positive posts and analysis than what you would typically find on a message board of a team that has sucked for 3 weeks and is on the cusp of seeing a season get flushed down the toilet. And instead of having ire for the team, you guys think it makes more sense to ***** about the fans attitudes.

That's it in a nutshell. You want to ignore the realities of how ANY FANBASE would react in a similar situation (as pointed out, Eagles message boards have largely taken similar tones as this one, albeit they aren't as tough on their coach given he won a SB two years ago).

And yes, there are actually threads discussing the game, our own Xs and Os, etc. xwalker has two or three threads on this page right now that is a look at Xs and Os and player issues, for example. Further, there are 50 threads on this first page. A quick count, nearly 30 are either about this game, a look at our own team, about our players (Dak is a tough SOB, Witten is Top 6 at TE, etc.).

Find those threads, they are easy to find. Participate in those threads. Avoid the ones *****ing about Garrett or Jones. Seems pretty simple. And far more mature that whining that you don't like the complaining about a team that is 3-3, looked like crap the last two weeks, just lost to a winless team and is close to having a season go down the toilet.

I getcha Chuck. Not a lot of interesting insight lately. I see those same posters coming after you now.

Yep

But you’re assuming everyone here are faithful Cowboy fans. We basically have very vocal group of members( I’m not sure I’d call them Cowboy fans) who are rooting for us to lose to appease their agendas and support their narrative to prove they are right.

 

[ondaedg]

We had big expectations and a roster full of young talent so of course there's going to be some displeasure voiced here. If our expectations were 6-10 the mood here would be way different.

They hate being called out for what they are.

It's a forum violation so I won't name names.

I wish the forum would tighten up the trolling rules also.

Yes, I've made several posts about how I think this organization is poorly run and how I want them to do better. I have neglected to do any "ra ra ra" posts. Okay, here goes.

Ra ra ra, go team!

There ya go.

Yeah, actually having the guts to say how you feel before something happens. Clearly a foreign concept to you. A coward who hides until after the fact.

Or maybe you failed to convey that it was, in fact, "humor"? Or more likely, it's an attempted misrepresentation of the truth, in the same vain that caused yiu to take the time to go back and dig up an old post from last year?

Is that also supposed to be "humorous"? I don't think so. Your intent betrays your claims.

Huge comprehension issues. Huge.

Only on your part.

You fail to realize your own hypocrisy, as do all these people calling others out, attacking other fans, and trying to have the forum censored.
