Bandwagon fans

[BoysForLife]

Curious. Why are call out threads now allowed?

For the OP, they have to allow them, otherwise he'd have nothing to post.

Except that 28 years is a BIG problem and why my fandom is not the same. Jerry has sapped the life out of me. Maybe you are younger and you are just rolling with it.

But if you experienced either the 70’s or 90’s or both, trust me you would temper your fandom.

But, those 80’s SUCKED

 

[BoysForLife]

To be fair to the OP. There are folks who only post when the team looses.

Of course there are. If you try to come on here and share legitimate concerns about the team after a win, you get treated like a Hell's Angel trying to earn his member patch. It's a genuine gang style beatdown by the usual suspects.

At least after a loss there are enough other members willing to listen to discussions about the shortcomings of this team that it doesn't devolve into some self congratulatory circle jerk about what superior fans they are and how we're super bowl bound despite what the "losers" and "quitters" might be concerned about.

It's actually pretty logical if you think about it.

He even made an “I quit” thread a couple years ago lololololol

He's wasn't man enough to honor it......as a matter of fact, he won't even admit he made that " i'm quitting" thread

 

[shabazz]

There’s no bandwagon fans now man.. There’s only trolls that are pretending to be fans.. I can’t see how the mods don’t realize this.. maybe it’s the clicks the site gets.. lol

Great point. There's only a small amount of folks trolling here.

However we seem to have a small percentage of self declared " Super Fans" like the OP that spend more time criticizing the fans than the players that haven't gotten past a divisional round in a quarter century.....strange group of folks right there

I will give 100 likes to whoever can provide the link to Rockport’s post from a few years ago when he quit the forum like the quitting quitter that he is.

I would love to read that cowardly hypocrisy again.

I'd rather not use that term on the Lord's day so I'll just let the facts do the talking.

@MountaineerCowboy can vouch for it though

Edited in honor of Christmas. Thanks @shabazz

I will always be a cowboys fan but I stopped being a cowboys can do no wrong fan when they replaced Romo mid season with Dak. The same Dak that was nationally televized in a throwing contest with David Carr and was thoroughly embarrassed.

Also when they signed him to one of the highest contracts at the time.

Also when they made Zeke the highest paid RB I'm the league.

Also when they traded Cooper.

Also holding onto Garrett for so long.

Also for picking McCarthy.

They have made dumb decision after dumb decision for almost a decade and it shows on the field.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Yeah , but are you a fan if you piss and moan about every loss and give half hearted praise with every win? Just because you are still here ? So is Herpes, Big whip !

On the other hand, there is some concern about 'fans' that don't get upset that we lose and are just fine with mediocrity.

Yeah CZ has changed over the years man.. definitely.

Both for me and I haven’t turned on them yet.

Guess I’m just lucky.

. The same Dak that was nationally televized in a throwing contest with David Carr and was thoroughly embarrassed.

That's still one of the saddest things I've ever seen

Carr genuinely felt bad because he knew Dak was getting humiliated. Carr (years removed from any competitive football) was trying skip off the floor trick shots to try and give Dak a chance to hit a target.

That was genuinely sad. And completely embarrassing

It’s almost like people are fans.

Of course there are. If you try to come on here and share legitimate concerns about the team after a win, you get treated like a Hell's Angel trying to earn his member patch. It's a genuine gang style beatdown by the usual suspects.

At least after a loss there are enough other members willing to listen to discussions about the shortcomings of this team that it doesn't devolve into some self congratulatory circle jerk about what superior fans they are and how we're super bowl bound despite what the "losers" and "quitters" might be concerned about.

Actually it’s not. Sure after a win everyone is feeling themselves and this is the greatest team ever, I get that.

My point is if you coming here to post content, be consistent, regardless if the team wins or lose, not to push an agenda.

 

[shabazz]

I think so too. He says stuff almost daily I wish I'd thought of

He could have been a writer for TV shows in the 80s.......not so much today though. he'd be canceled in a heartbeat, lol

 

[Redsfan_83]

In order to be called a bandwagon fan, there must be a wagon that isn't stuck in the mud before it is able to start moving again. An example of a bandwagon fan would be a "new" fan of a team like the Rams, Browns, Bungles, etc. I hope I was able to shed some light on the term bandwagon for ya...

 

[Captain-Crash]

didn't he quit last year when dak got hurt? then he started hating all the games Rush won.

 

[shabazz]

Yeah CZ has changed over the years man.. definitely.

Is it like this on major social media sites too? I have to ask because I'm not on any of them......like where there's a very small group of folks seeking everybody to think and post exactly what they approve of?

 

[JoeKing]

Win, lose, or draw, I will always root for the Cowboys. The ups and downs are just part of being a fan. If you can't deal with the downs that's your problem. Maybe take up quilting or badminton.The team doesn't need fairweather fans.

Win, lose, or tie, I'm diehard Cowboys til the day I die!

It depends on what side you're on, apparently.

Ha ha.....exactly. it's quite the bandwagon scenario to continue to be a member of the most despised fan base in America.


It's been so much glory and chest puffing for a quarter century now, lol
