Cowboy fans crack me up

[theebs]

So it's finally come to that with Jerry Jones and some people still blindly support their Dallas Cowboys being included in the same conversation with the absolute worst in the league for over a Decade.

Never thought I'd see the day when Dallas was grouped in with the likes of Detroit, Kansa City and Buffalo for the longest current streak of Non-Winning in the Post Season.....some people are okay with being one of the bottom dwellers and act like it's a weakness to long for swimming upstream.

that is where we are, nothing us fans can do but hope and support the team.

The thing I find most sad is that we have hosted one stinking playoff game at home in a 10 year span.

That is really sad to me. In that same time we have won the division once and made the playoffs three times going 0-3.

Its really sorry when you stop and look at it.

the Dallas fans and media find a member of the organization to blame each year and never let up.

In 02 it was jerry. In 03 at the end of the year it was Quincy, hambrick and mario edwards. In 04 it was Vinny testaverde, in 05 it was rob pettiti and Bill parcells. IN 06 it was drew bledsoe and Bill parcells, In 07 it was roy williams and jacques reeves, in 08 it was T.O. (and deservedly So) and now its wade, garrett and romo.

People who cant think for themselves let others think for them and then they just tag along. Once the mob is loud enough they get attention.

Good post. The faces of the mob simply change from season to season.

If the mob screams very loud and nobody hears it did it really happen?

they heard the Mob vs Carolina, I think it's more of a cry for help actually the Fans are begging the Dallas Cowboys to become Real Football Players by booing them...we are literally crying out and pooring our love out on the field for these guys by BOOOING. Just showing we care in the way that dedicated fans lift up their team. If the Coaches and Organization can't have that kind of effect we will. It can work, it has worked, MARK IT DOWN - it will work again.

its not just a dallas problem. as anyone who has read my posts here will know the cowboys are my second team that i follow after glasgow celtic (scottish soccer team)

anyway the point is that the above statement could just as easily apply to the celtic fans and scottish/glasgow media. not that the names will mean anything to many on here but just to prove the point the scapegoats have been andreas hinkel, paul telfer, gary caldwell, stephen mcmanus, jan vennegoor of hesselink, georgious samaras, massimo donati, manager gordon strachan, chief executive peter lawwel, chairman john reid and owner dermott desmond. thats a quick list off the top of my head of people who have been regularly and unfairly criticised and blamed in an over the top manner both by the fans and the media. bear in mind that celtic won the league title three out of the four years my list refers to.

just trying to point out that success breeds expectation. while unfortunately dallas haven't had great success over the last decade the expectations remain from the glory days (which from a personal point of view i unfortunately missed due to having no interest in the sport) and as such criticism will never be far away if things are not going well. it comes with the territory when you play for a big team. win and win well and you are a hero, don't win with the style demanded or god forbid don't win at all and you are less than nothing.

I hate the band wagon fans. Always have.

That said, no one on here fits that description. Those here are not on a band wagon which means only backing a winner. They love this team but are frustrated and speaking their minds.

Nothing wrong with that. I do wish some of these so-called realists had the sack to tell us who the best teams are but they never do. They simply point at the Cowboys flaws and scream "I told you so." They never predict anything but doom and proclaim brilliance.

:bravo:...Its hard to even come to this site anymore because all the negativity.Im not saying we shouldnt be mad after a loss,lord knows,i can be a complete ******* after we lose but the constant bashing of the team by the fans is really a downer.I know the Cowboys arnt perfect but they are the team ive lived and died for these last 33yrs and i will continue to do so til i die.I love the DALLAS COWBOYS and i wish all the posers of this team would get the **** out and let me enjoy my favorite site.GO COWBOYS

no doubt about it, its a product of losing. What is making alot of people really impatient is the fact that we are starting to see the same symptoms of what caused this franchise to lose in the early 2000's right now.

those teams were supposed to lose, this team is talented enough to compete for sure and hopefully win. if those outside things are affecting the talent and its progress, fans are going to go bananas. Watching the same guy make the same mistakes over and over gets old and very frustrating.

You can only sell that video board for one season.

I can't force myself to believe that so many are content with losing.

In my estimation in the big picture Fans that are content with this Franchise aren't real Dallas Cowboys Fans, losing is not what Football has ever been about here in Dallas. There has been a HUGE turn around in the kind of Fans that were here in the early 90s and with Landry because Class and Excellence were once the standard for this Storied franchise and losing for over a Decade would certainly not be tolerated by the once great Fan Base.

Many quality people and fans were turned off as soon as Jerry arrived, many more loyal participants are gradually falling to the waste side of the Jerry Jones led debacle year in and year out.

I am behind you 1000000000 percent.

These fat, content, head in the sand, koolaid drinking, homers are the ones who are not real fans.

I have yet to see one of them badmouth the team from thread to thread.

I have yet to see one of them give up on this team.

What kinda fans is that?

pathetic.

Who is content with losing? Some of us will support this team through thick and thin good time and bad. I'm been a Cowboys fans since 1965 chances are you were not even a spark in anyone’s eye at that time. We all want this team to get better and there is nothing wrong with people with criticism even if some goes over the top. Fans can't control jack you can either support the team or leave pretty fricken simple because your constant whining is not going change one thing

The negativity on this board is pretty bad.

Right now Romo is the new whipping boy.

While I disagree with Hostile... that the "realist" fans are not bandwagoners.

I see them as more as 'fans' who are more interested in pumping their own egos by being "right".

So they proclaim as a unit that Romo sucks, the coaching sucks, the players have no heart, Jerry Jones etc etc... which is why they tear down victories, gain hysteria over losses and post endless repeating topics with the same garbage over and over.

It's not about rooting for a team... it's about being right about a particluar subject. Like the M.Jenkins vs Scandrick debate. One bad play by Jenkins and Scandrick crew will be out in full force. Not because it helps the Cowboys, but because they can pound their chest and be 'right'.

Cowboy fans are either unwilling or incapable of rallying behind their favorite team and root for them to succeed.

You have posters who always qualify their long ranting post with "I hope I'm wrong", and you know.. they really don't.

 

[DallasEast]

Yep. All Terrell Owens had to do was keep his mouth shut throughout his contract. He couldn't. He never has. He wants to draw attention to himself. The media has always obeyed his wish. The only problem with that personal philosophy is that you will always get the good with the bad.

Over the years, many people have tried to counsel Owens on avoiding the negative backlash of thinking with a ten cent head. Unfortunately for him, it [strike]seems[/strike] always goes in one ear and out the other. In an age of unprecedented instantaneous communication never before seen in human history, someone would have to be pig stupid to keep repeating the same mistakes as he intentionally does. Poetic justice.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

When I get certain reactions out of simply stating facts it worries me even more. This train wreck could get alot worse. Surely we will beat that weak Chiefs team right.....lolz that should put the crash course in brain surgery on hold for a week or two at best.

How does anything anyone says on this forum help or hurt the cowboys?

I find it a bit ironic that you classify everyone who dares call it like they see it as egotists but then think that your positive thoughts somehow help the Cowboys.

A case could be made that the only reason you are upset with the "realists" is because they dare to call into question your beliefs thus aggravating your sensitive ego.

The ego is a funny thing and often has a mind of it's own.

One of my first impressions of this forum was shock at how easily feathers were ruffled and how intolerant many were of any critcism whatsoever.

Nothing is perfect and that included this years version of the Dallas Cowboys.

It be one thing if I claimed by positive thoughts influenced the Cowboys. But I made no such claim...

so meh... not much to reply to here.

I used to hate going to bars and hanging out with Cowboy fans. Mostly because these so called "fans" were no where to be found when the Cowboys were a bad team. They were just band wagoners mostly, expecting perfection. It seemed to get to the point were winning wasn't enough. They had to dominate.

Now with TO gone, it seems like it's time to go after Romo. He's suddenly become the wipping boy after any loss. He's not a leader, can't win the big one. Does anybody remember all the QB's between Aikman and Romo?

I live up by Buffalo NY. They haven't had a 300 yd passer in 42 games. Romo's had more 300 yd games in that span than any other Cowboy ever.

He came in to Buffalo last year and played horribly. Yet he held it together and won the game. Dallas has lost this year to two undefeated teams and could have beaten either one had a ball bounced their way one more time.

Get a grip. The seasons early and the defense is starting to come together. Romo is going to have bad games sometimes. He sure as heck has had a lot of good ones. Show some support.

In what warped world do you live in where fans still hanging around despite a 12 year playoff drought are considered "bandwagon"? Or did you not mean us here at this forum? Seems like this is some fake thing you made up in an attempt to troll here, because the reality of the situation is that bandwagon fans jump on whoever seems to be likely to win it all that year. Bandwagons fans certainly do not wait around for 12 years and counting for a single stinking playoff win.

Oh God... there's that word again.

There is no in between. You're either pissed as hell that this team is 2-2, or you're pie in the sky nothing could be better than 2-2.

It's not glass half-empty or glass half-full... It's glass overflowing or glass shattered.

And that would be what?

Because you're right, I don't see your point.
