I have to ask though, why if many of the negative posters always think we will lose, will be hammered by Saints for example etc, why come back after a loss to complain about the coaches, players etc, You already figured we would lose so why be upset?

It's kind of knowing ahead of time you won't get Jessica Alba into bed then calling her a ,,,,, when she turns you down.

Another pertinent question: What would you rather posters discuss following a loss?

It seems that a sizable percentage of the postings on this forum consist of posters complaining about what other posters are complaining about. Why don't you provide a list (partial or complete) of acceptable topics following a loss?

well it wouldn't include lines like it's over, we suck, we are going winless etc

your topic was at least somewhat different even if odd.

Well, if that's it, I agree.

I would also prefer something more constructive than vague generalizations and dire predictions.

Great line. I have tried to keep a mildly positive outlook this year. Not too up or down. I have to admit I was very pissed after the last Giants loss and went on the three day rant, but I have settled down again and am going to take the rest of the season as it comes. Right now we win out, we are in. All I want for Christmas is a playoff birth.

As far as those who bash the Cowboys win or loose or those that predict a defeat and it happens and they complain after the game? Not much to say about them. They are who they are. I am not sure they are capable of controlling it. It is almost like a mental disorder.

To play Devil's Advocate, some could say, if people claim to hate coming here because of all of the whining, then why even post here.

The people who complain about all the whining are just as bad as the whiners.

At the end of the day, nobody puts a gun to your head and force you to post here.

People just need to come to grips with the fact that this is the best place on Earth to talk about the Cowboys and that is the reason why the whiners and the whiners that complain about the whiners keep coming back for more, again and again and again.

and what are the people who complain about the whiners complaining about the whiners?:D j/k

I love the Zone. I love it more after a win.

You have Type A and Type B personalities in life. Type A is rational, Type B is irrational.

Type A knows they are going to get hung from a tree and accept it. Type B knows they are going to get hung from a tree, but ***** an moan because it's not a new rope!

That's the basics of life...

Carry on.

I don't believe many of the fans on here have specifically stated the Saints will hammer us or we don't have a chance. It is just a fact that they are playing better than us right now. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter if we lose by 1 or 100, its still a loss.

Keep in mind, we don't always have to look at things through a rosy pair of glasses. If this team has problems then those problems should be stated.

You critize posters for being critical of the Boy's; yet you are less out spoken when they choke in another late season contest. :rolleyes:


Or it could be that I stopped posting as much since Nov 20th.

Something happened that day that made me care less about this season.

Silly troll.

There is no down side to being a negative fan. Whether the team wins or loses, you always win.
Trying to be positive here: can someone point out anything positive to take from this game?

Romo played well both games in December.

OK, I'll start: Romo had a pretty good day (that's not original), and that's two weeks in a row. Something to build on going into the Saints game. Not much maybe, but its something positive.

Anyone else?

Ooops zrinkill beat me to it. Anything else? I thought the 99-yard drive was a positive.

You could say the same about being unwaveringly positive.
