Did I insult you? I believe most of the posters interpret your post this way. Perhaps it didn’t come across the way you meant. Please explain where I’m misinterpreting (and try to avoid insults, please. This is the way it looks.)
Just re-read the post you replied to. I explain it in plain English. :facepalm:

Ummmm.,.....so, the frustration of the fans with the losing this season is why we're at 7-8? Fascinating.....
I think there's a lot of frustration all the way around I really do believe there are some people here that just want to hate I don't know what they would do if there was winning going on ? but we're all looking for answers and they're getting harder to find that much I know anything else I'm as clueless as anybody else

You try to say that you aren’t talking about all fans, just the “haters.” I pointed out that that label could be applied to any rational fan given the topic; thus, it’s a useless word. It seems that most of the board is more “hater” than you, so you’re criticizing most of the board. If that was not your intent with the op, what was?

I don't think he's blaming all the fans, just the haters.
In my opinion, Lawrence should not be calling out any fans unless he is calling out fans of his team, attending the game, who are not trying to make enough noise to rattle the opponent on 3rd or 4th down. That would make sense. Enough fan noise is proven to sometimes disrupt communication of units, especially offensive units. That is an tangible example of fan involvement helping the team. Anything beyond that makes Lawrence read or sound like a fool.

I haven't defended anyone except maybe Dak. I certainly don't defend 25 years of sub-standard performance. Not sure why you try and change the point I'm trying to make.
Then why are you always berating fans who criticize the cowboys. Always labeling them as whiners, quitters or haters. Pretty easy answer.

Ah yes, Demarcus Lawrence is here to ensure we all bend the knee and swear fealty to crappy football. Too bad this moron doesn't have the talent to back up his loud mouth.

I agree he should keep his mouth shut because with all that has happened this year with him and the team, anything he says is going to be misinterpreted. Like Kaiser pointed out, I think he's referring to the Twitter mouth breathers when he's talking about the fans. He gets a lot of flack from the same group of followers.

Well No **** Sherlock....games do come before game most Preview, but most Professionals and sane fans waiting film day normally Tuesday afternoon or when All 22s are released before ascribing blame

Eg...Wentz was releasing ball quickly. Film will show whether DBs at least gave DEs a chance or vice versa if Wentz had time
Seems you missed the point. The more astute among us do not have to wait until Tuesday to know what went wrong if they watched the game Sunday.

The ones like you who do it all the time, every thread, every post are whiners, quitters and losers. That's why.

Then he can help himself by being both more specific and less general about whom he is directing his comments and why he thinks comments directed at him are offensive. I did not believe Lawrence was clueless. Twitter is a social platform. It is not a stage intended for his poorly conceived accusations.

Unfortunately Twitter is indeed a stage for poorly conceived accusations.

No. It is a stage and only a stage. How the stage is utilized is to the benefit or detriment of its users. In this case, Lawrence's is the latter.

:huh: ooookkkaaayyyy
I will simply it. Twitter does not make anyone say anything. Lawrence used Twitter by making a blanket statement about fans in a way that is now being argued even he did not intend to make.

Moral: Anyone, and especially celebrities, should always think then tweet--not the other way around.

Parcells and Jimmy would have sat this team down long before now and told them all, "if you don't want to be here, talk to your agent about seeking a trade". Hell, they probably would have just cut some people. Neither put up with any diva crap. Fumble too much, throw a jersey at the coach, SEE YA!!!

None of this, Welcome to JJs Country Club crap. I wonder if JJ hires a psychologist for these week minded idiots?

He probably does, and I can't imagine Jimmy, Parcells, or even Harbaugh putting up with this lot.

I don't have any of the players on this team. I'm just really really annoyed by this team at the moment. It'd be one thing if our team was rubbish and I was expecting an 8-8 performance. It's quite another when I know the team is capable of more and the players can't be bothered to show effort. Thus, deserving a record that they have earned because of their lack of heart, humility, and egos.

Of course it doesn't make anyone say anything. That's just common sense. I was just stating the facts, it has become a stage for stupid accusations.

Therein lies your blind spot. No one is astute enough to know what went wrong without watching All 22s or coaches tape but carry along sir...
Like said incase you missed my point, Fans and talking heads aren't Professional Athletes currently... DeMarcus Lawrence is doomed if he speaks or if he doesn't...astute fans like you can't fathom the complexity from your TV set...HDTV too
