You're once again assuming what's good for everyone else should be good for the Cowboys.
Jet fans have a right to be upset. Been forever since they've tasted some real success. I haven't checked to see if this is the case but I wouldn't be surprised at all.
Teams like the Colts have no reason to be. We all know that Indy will be a contender. The Saints JUST won the Superbowl. Their fans can throttle back a bit because they know what their team is capable of.
What do we know our team is capable of? Winning the east? Should we be happy with that? Yeah, maybe if we'd atleast tasted something more than a playoff game or two in the past what, 14 years or so?
Once again going back to what I said.. not everyone gets the same amount of enjoyment out of simply watching the game as you do. Is that a tragedy? Perhaps, we should all try and enjoy the game for what it is. But the fact of the matter is, it's simply not the case. Some people invest a lot of time and energy into their team and simply don't wish to stand for 2nd best. It might be an idealist attitude and that's not to say that you cannot be a devoted fan and just enjoy the ride for what it is. What I AM saying is, don't be surprised when people get a bit elated over things you see as trivial.
