Can You Admit You Gave Up On The Season?

[BLEU3ASY]

At what point would/could someone give up on the season when they only lost 5 games?!?!? lol

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

The season never mattered. Only the post season matters. The only judgements on Dak and the rest of the team will come from the next few weeks.

The season does matter as far as it gets you in the playoffs, and how many home games.
Kinda important.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Anyone who has watched us play the last 5 weeks and thinks we are a tier 1 team is a homer. If you want to call someone who has been a fan 45 years a bandwagon fan because they can realistically appraise our chances then have at it.

We are the #2 seed because the Eagles imploded and went 1-5 down the stretch, not because we have looked fantastic.

Best off if you just ignore him.

I quit being the type of fan that gets worked up over results or lack therof quite sometime ago. I understand football comes around once a year and its a september to january thing so i just enjoy it week in and week out. So no I never gave up on them. I was discouraged by their performance a couple of games but it last a day or so and i was right back on the cheer train. I also understand how hard it is to accomplish what we used too in the salary cap era

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

I cannot. I believed that Philly would take the east, but always felt we have the coaches and talent to make a run in the playoffs, regardless of seeding. That hasn't changed.

Well, you’re a hater so of course you take the pessimistic view. This team earned the NFC East and the #2 seed. They didn’t fold like Philthy and in fact they had some big wins against the Seahawks, Eagles and Lions and should’ve beat the fins. So they earned what they got. Sorry that pisses you off.

Should’ve is something tier 2 teams say.

I never give up because my expectations have been the same for the past 28 years. I just keep rooting for the Cowboys and when they lose, they lose…..

Cowboys are exactly were I expected them to be, in the playoffs. I’m surprised that they won the division, while they did their part to win it, the Eagles falling apart the last few weeks really helped.

I can’t say that I gave up on the Cowboys but I don’t trust them. This team can win against nearly any team, as much as I feel they can loose to any team. I have pretty much been conditioned to feel that way since at least 2006.

Nearly every playoff appearance has ended with a really tough loss like the Romo bobble, The Cabo Game, Vikings blowout, both GB Games, the Rams, both SF Games, and so many win and you’re in playoff type scenarios.

The Cowboys have had a historically bad playoff run since they last won the SB. It is hard to trust them. It won’t change for me until they lift another Lombardi Trophy. It’s why guys like Steven A Smith can joke about waiting for the Cowboys to eventually fail, because history has not been on our side for nearly 30 years.

Personally, the only way I can survive being a Cowboys fan is to expect to eventually be let down. I don’t feel it makes me any less of a fan, its more about self preservation.

To much in life depends literally upon NOT giving up. This is a sport, but the same principal applies to this fan. It is a reflection of real life. No, Sir...this fan supports his chosen team. Go Cowboys. Go fight!

There beside you, Sarge...this fan grew up fighting for equality in the NFL and throughout sport. You bet, Sir!

 

[CCBoy]

I’ll still be pissed, but I won’t be on here saying “I told you we would win“. I’ll be “I can’t believe it“ and can they actually do it again against Baltimore.

Hey, that's being a white guy, huh...

Now explain away all the actual and competitive off seasons that DID have competitive playoffs but not part of YOUR 'new' math? Back 'em or don't...that is your deal.

 

[MizzouCowboy4]

It wasn't the loss to the 9ers, or even the Eagles, but there were a few dark moments after the back to back Bills and Dolphins. I did settle for 5th place.
But this team weathered the storm clouds and grabbed the East.

What's your story.

Nope. I wait til year is over to assess

Or like yourself, lacking in team design, leadership elements, talent levels...and the principals that work in single game management...not myths based more on personal emotional attachments. No, the sport is for real. So are the Cowboys.

OK smart guy, how do the Cowboys lose two straight at home, for a starter?

Christ, every team in the NFL has should haves to boast about...and that is without argument.

You don't believe and haven't believed in discussion since the start of season four years ago...just back on ignore. Biased with an opinion. Put anyone you choose on ignore. You don't discuss to begin with...just complain.

Maybe YOU can explain how Dallas loses the next two AT&T games. You can't, you don't discuss.

This is BS.

I have plenty of comments about football.

I'm not going to pretend their are terribly insightful, nor claim to be an expert.

And I'm not going to waste the time to go back and list them just for you.

So thank you for putting me back on your ignore. Best for both of us then.

The season has always come down to playoffs. Time will tell.

Settled for 5th and not being able to beat SF on the road in the playoffs. Wrong on the first....we'll see on the latter. Hopefully wrong again.

Darkest moments were the Eagles and 49ers losses.

49ers loss... thought they would at least be competitive. Remember, we were off to a great start along with 49ers beginning of the year vs other teams.

Eagles loss... close game that I thought we blew. Both games we could have sent a message that it was a different Cowboys team, but looking back, I think we had the right balance of adversity.

Not as down after the Buffalo or Miami losses but knew that Detroit was a must win game.

Sometimes in sports, it's about luck as much as hard work, smart play, and talent. I felt the luck start to go our way in Detroit's game and it hasn't stopped yet.

Your whistling past the graveyard if you aren't as down about Buffalo and Miami.
The Cowboys weren't even competitive in Buffalo and even though Miami is a pretty good team Dallas needs to win that game by 10. The offense screwing around for long periods of time is a problem. One big play in Detroit to Lamb through 3 quarters of football and that's a play by just sheer luck the LB didn't tackle Dak for a safety. And Dak did nothing but ready to drop in the fetal position. The Commanders was a feel good game. I think Dallas barely gets by GB and loses to Detroit in revenge game.
