Are Cowboy fans delusional?

[JoeKing]

If I tell you it’s raining outside will you need a picture too? This is bizarre.

How about if I was a season ticket holder for 40 years. Do you need to see all of the Stubbs. Hey , like I said, believe what you want.

You really want every personal comment supported by factual evidence. I could have provided you a pic of anyone and you’d never know.

God bless you brother. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so if you think she is a looker then she is... in your eyes. This is a silly argument. A sure sign that we need some football around here soon.

Shannon Sharpe is right. Cowboys fans keeping it in check just saying they expect Playoffs. Super Bowl would be delusional. But someone could argue against that too... who picked the Bengals to go to the SB last year? It's parity folks. Get used to it. There are no more delusions. It's anyone's season. You never know.

 

[DandyDon52]

all fans are probably delusional to a point, some more than others.
jerry is delusion to a extreme point !!!!!!!!

I lived in New England for a few years. The fans there are convinced the NFL hates the Patriots and refs cheat them... all fans are delusional.

Hmmm. Sounds familiar. lol

About all we can hope for is winning the division...a very bad division. That's about as good as it gets right now.

Every fan base suffers from some delusion, but Cowboys fans have a rare case of it. They've spent over a quarter century blaming players, usually QBs their dysfunctional team was lucky to even fall into in the first place, rather than the real culprits.

The Cowboys have plodded along in mediocrity for over 25 years because of two constants - Jerry and Stephen Jones playing fantasy football - but keep on blaming the products of their work. They are the problem, no matter your scapegoats. Imagine how bad the 21st century would've been if Romo wasn't signed as a free agent, or Dak chosen as a 4th round afterthought, after failed attempts to draft Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook.

These two rich bozos haven't a clue, yet some of you still think they're going to deliver a SB. Those two happy accidents are why the 21st century Cowboys are about a .500 team, rather than a perennial last place team. Recognize the real problem.

If you want to be gullible then go right ahead but don't insist everyone be as naive as you. Okay, Sparky?

Some call genuine, normal and decent people gullible. You need/want/expect documentation for every personal detail, even online chatter with strangers? Good luck with that! NOW, who’s being naive?

Man 1: “I’m 6’3”, with black hair”
Man 2: “Liar! Send me proof!”
Man 1: “Ummm…yeah….wish in one hand, s*** in the other!”

The Cowboys are #2 for all time winning percentage, at 57.1%. Green Bay is first, at 57.2.

Finally, Stephen A's excuse for hating Cowboy fans can no longer be used....I NEVER thought Cowboy fans were as delusional as portrayed. For every idiot that spends their families last hard earned dollar on trips to Oxnard, there are realists like 95%+ on here that no longer fall for all the BS that Booger and Chuckles are shoveling. For every ONE idiot mugging for the camera at AT&T in a Great Gazoo sized Cowboys helmet, there are TEN knowlegeable fans watching at home patiently in a wait and see mode...all the while secretly praying that Booger will but on a pair of black NIKE's, pull the sheet up over his head, and take an extended nap. Yeah...I said it.

Another one of your weekly rants...SMH

Not sure who here doesn't think ownership / management is the biggest problem. I feel like that's universally accepted by Cowboys' fans.

Great points re Romo and Dak though!

 

[kumizi]

All teams have dumb fans. The biggest fan bases will have the most dumb fans. Matter of simple math. I feel the same way about the Yankees or Lakers.

 

[nalam]

Only those Fans are (who were used to Boy’s greatness , still waiting for repeat of the glory days )

guilty !

 

[Swagger]

Well there were some fans on here claiming they would genuinely prefer Dak Prescott over Aaron Rodgers two years back...Rodgers went on to win League MVP back to back and the other is essentially Kirk Cousins. Is that delusional?

and for every person that takes a trip with his family and gets amazing, quality family time enjoying something we all share a passion for, there is an idiot at home that somehow thinks those family memories are so much better if the team wins a Super Bowl. So sit at home and watch and criticize that the team sucks... then when they finally actually win one again.... keep your arse at home where you belong.

 

[Reid1boys]

There are enough fans spending money on the team to enable Jerry.
Until that drops off, nothing is gonna change.

hmmmm.... how bout the Lions? Are they losing any money? Is there a single team in the NFL losing money? So what about the Browns? They spent money like crazy just now on a QB going for BROKE. Are they or have they been any closer to a SB than the Cowboys have since 1996?

 

[Reid1boys]

You have to delude yourself to some extent to even give a crap about pro sports, period.

this will probably be the best post of this thread. None of what happens with the Cowboys will actually have an impact on my life. Win or lose a SB, Ill still have to go to work and pay my bills. Ony difference is Ill be able to talk some crap to my friends.

 

[Reid1boys]

They're talking to and serving who is still there.

The fact is there isn't enough sports to meet the needs of all the radio/TV/internet talking heads. It's the same sports with the same number of players but it is now 50 fold on where it was with talking heads just 25 years ago.

Remember the first time you watched ESPN? I think I just watched with my mouth hanging open. Now, there are far too many and few really good ones that provide thought provoking content. It is all about ads and clicks and serving the lowest common denominator. Or you get the yellers like Smith, Sharpe and Bayless. "I don't have much to say so I am going to yell it very loudly for impact".

Sports just followed news. Once upon a time they asked the questions to get us thinking, now they just want to give us their answers.

Good post.... I still remember, like you, when ESPN became a thing. It was like the world stopped spinning for us sports fans. Now.... simply too much air time needs to be filled, so they talk about what Dak had for dinner last night to get ratings.

 

[Reid1boys]

I think wishing for a man's death on a family forum is delusional.
Yeah, I said it!

agree..... if anything should get anyone kicked off this site, that would be it......

 

[Reid1boys]

Every year is our year. I think about mid season must of us are back to reality. I think most of the hype is not fans being delusional. Some years we have a legit squad or could do more. Coaches, org, and bone head players let us down. Odd how some teams are able to do more with less.

Bucs lost last year,.... did a coach or player let the bucs down?
How bout the Chiefs? Losing at home to the BUNGLES.... did a coach or player let the chiefs down?
