Believe

[Hostile]

Any chance we could just do that. Any chance the "fans" of this team could just forget about the firings and who the new coach is for 3 weeks.

Can we just believe and go forward, Just stay in the teams corner and root for the team to do well?

any chance? Can we just believe. We have some good players too.

We have been given about as little respect as possible this week.

They are talking about resting starters in the second half, taking a knee late like last time.....bla bla bla. I dont think I have ever seen a fanbase/media/team be as arrogant as the saints are this week.

We basically are going there to be beat by 50 if you listen to all the talk.

All the national media...(good), Local Media (Double Good) and fans of every other team are laughing at Dallas and have given them no chance the rest of the way.....Its ridiculous.

so any chance the "fans" of this team could just stand up and believe in our team for once.

I made this back in 07, it was the ending of my 07 in review video.....Some of the players are different, but the message is the same.....

Just believe in the stinking team already.

I haven't been online much today. Certainly not long enough to have read much in this thread, though I can guess how it is going. It would be worse if I said too much. So I will simply steal from Kipling and take poetic license with the times of last stanza...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;


If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving hour
With sixty minutes' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Good luck theebs and thank you for remembering why some of us love the team. I am going camping because I need a break from hysteria. Adieu.

All I know is that for some strange reason, I believe the boys can win this thing. This league is filled with great variance in play, and you never know what's going to happen on any given day. I know the Cowboys haven't played well, and that there isn't a ton of reason to think they can beat the Saints so I should probably just give up any hope in the Cowboys. But screw it, where's the fun in that?

Let's do this thing.

...believe......we're a 8-8 team.

One of my all time favorites.

Prediction on the game Hos?

 

[SkinsFan28]

I think you guys pull the upset.

 

[Doomsday101]

I think you guys pull the upset.

I'm hoping you guys pull an upset as well this weekend

I have been a fan of this team since I was 5 years old. I remember watching the Dallas defense crush the Orange Crush of the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. I cried myself to sleep after the Catch in San Francisco. I watched Danny White shock the Falcons in the playoffs. I suffered the end of Landry, I was pissed off when Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry. I was in California when we stomped the NFL in back to back Super Bowls. Nothing will make me happier than beating the Saints tomorrow night. Why? So I can make every Saints fan in my family shut the hell up with that Who Dat bullcrap?

I hear you my brother... I cried and yelled at everyone for two weeks after Jimmy resigned.

I don't care if this team is 1-15 or 16-0, i will allway watch, root, believe that we can beat any team we play.

I'm a Cowboy!!!
Lets do this...

Jesus you are dense.

I'm dense? You haven't addressed one point I've made. Especially the main point. Why is that?

Let me explain this real slow for you.
People like you give up on a team so that if they fail you will at least be able to thump your chest about being right.

You have no idea who or what I am. How old are you? I'm guessing early 20's. Get back to me when you have some perspective son.

And as tempting as that may be at some points in the last 13 years, I refuse to become that type of fan.

Well good for you!

None of us have any stake in this team other than emotion. Some let Pride interfere in investing their emotions because they do not want to be wrong (or they feel like "fools" for "falling for it", like 30yard mentioned earlier")

This is where you fail big time. How can anyone here that didn't just join not be emotionally invested in this team? You can be emotionally invested in something but still have doubts as to the outcome. Anyone who has had their heart broken can relate to that. Of course your a big brave believer so you no doubt never had your heart broken or certainly wouldn't admit to it.

If you do not like me ....... who cares?

Clearly you do as you bring it up every time we get together. I don't like you, I don't dislike you. You are just a loudmouth on a message board. Don't flatter yourself there son.

Anyone can look at your history and see what your deal is, and trust me ..... I am not the only one who has noticed.

It gets better and better. The old "it's not just me" dodge and weave. That's page 2 in the cowards handbook isn't it?

The irony is, you only have to read this ONE thread to see yourself exposed for what you really are.

I am curious though. What exactly is my "deal"?

Listen son. You clearly have some growing up to do. Take some advice and focus on putting your own house in order and let the people be the kind of fans they want to be. I was a bit like you myself although not so way over the top.

This chest thumping, I'm better then you, attempt at bolstering your low sense of self esteem is pretty transparent.

Have fun watching the game tomorrow. Please know that I will be there with you in spirit, yelling and screaming at the TV and hopefully jumping with joy.

Forgive me if I don't bet my house on a victory though...

For those of you saying people like me aren't real fans, well I don't believe in having blind faith that my team will always win, but I guarantee you I will be rooting as hard as you are for a win.

If that makes me less of a fan in your eyes, then so be it. But I'm not going to lie to myself and think only happy thoughts.

I hope they win, but I'm not counting on it. I will be pleasantly surprised if they do though.

I can't improve on this. The "I'm a better fan than you" purity tests have got to go.
