Cowboys are a hazard to my health

[Org1]

Send Jerry the bill for your soaking rug, see if he will pay.

As for the two game skid, do you actually think we will lose to the Cardinals next Sunday?

but this team just keeps creating new ways to lose
I don't know what to expect
I just wonder what offense we are going to see next Sunday

 

[Etonicas]

Not to mention the emotional pain. I feel like I just got dumped by my high school sweatheart. This team is breaking my freakin' heart.

I was thinking the exact same thing. That is the perfect anology.

I don't wanna die by the age of 25, and this cannot be good for my health. But this is what makes football so captivating, we never know what is going to happen or how it's going to happen.

 

[Rack]

I know what you mean man, I was just watching the gamecast and I felt like I was gonna puke. Imagine if I had actually seen the game. Every week same script who needs to see the whole game just turn on the last 2 minutes.

Ain't that the truth? It's sickening.


I know you can't put it on your defense "every time", but the defense has come through for us only once in that situation all season (vs the Chargers), but they did give up a 4th and long on the final drive.

Game 2, they gave it up against the Skins.

Game 3 they sucked in the first half instead of the second half.

Game 6 they allow the game tying TD with less than a minute to play.

Game 7 they allow the game tying TD with less then a minute to play.


4 times this year we've had a "Slim" lead with about 4 minutes of left in the game (which would, IMO, be "putting it on the defense") and they've only come through 1 of those times. We are 2-2 in those games but only cuz we got the ball first in OT vs the Giants.

So I know you can't "put it on the defense" that often, but they do have to come through ONCE IN A WHILE.

That said, the offense sucked. And No, it had nothing to do with being conservative. The gameplan was fine, the execution wasn't.



ANyway, back on topic, at least I don't feel alone in this anymore. I was beginning to feel that I was the only fan on earth that took these losses so hard.

You guys/gals need to see one of the doors in my Den. It's now what I try to direct all my rage to when I "lose it". I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it in this thread if I remember. I don't bother fixing the door cuz I know I'll jsut destroy the replacement.

It got so freakin bad, I went outside and cleaned the yard. No family, no tv, no nothing, just raking wet freakin leaves and bagging em up. You could probably see the black cloud above my head with the squiggly lines. Disgusting!

My lawn needs to be mowed. I should of done that instead of destroying a perfectly good table.


I liked that table too.

 

[SultanOfSix]

I feel your pain. Luckily, I'm in pretty decent shape, even though I feel my heart pounding sometimes.

But, what can you do? I keep telling myself, keep trusting, keep trusting...it will work itself out. The funny thing is, I can feel a loss coming on. It's almost psychic. I felt in in the Washington game. I felt it in the Seattle game.

Sometimes it just seems less hurtful if I just don't care, and I just can't seem to do it.

 

[LaTunaNostra]

No I'm completely serious.

I've been thinkign about getting a punching bag. It would probably be a good idea.

In the shape of Todd Haley?

Seriously Rack, I hear ya,

I haven't been a Cowboy anywhere near as long as you have, but I spend the whole week in anticipation of that game on Sunday....read every article, reviw, summary, match-up piece. By the time gameday rolls around, I can actually feel my own adrenaline running along with the players'...then when emotions are raised to fever pitch...they come crashing down at the end of the game.

But I don't feel bad for myself because I am diappointed, I feel bad for the players. Unfortunately, that's a worse feeling of hurt than if I could run around here after a game, spewing moronic vent posts.

If the rollar coaster ride is traumatic for US, how much more so for THEM?

Bill has got to get the problems solved, and losing like that doesn;t seem to be very good for HIS health either.

Still, there is a big picture to consider. And if we are 5-3 after the bye, I really didn't expect us to be in any better position last summer....what really sucks is we know this team COULD fairly easily be undefeated right now.

"Cowboys are a hazard to my health And I'm not kidding in the least about that. I'm 100% serious.


My heart was literally hurting after that game. It probably has something to do with all the things I through across the room after that int (during the run back actually), including my coffee table. Threw other numerous things against the wall. My heart started pounding I think I may have actually had a minor heart attack (I'm not kidding either).


Not to mention the emotional pain. I feel like I just got dumped by my high school sweatheart. This team is breaking my freakin' heart.

I've been a cowboys fan since the age of 1 (I have a pic of me decked out in a cowboys jacket even as a baby). I've loved this team my whole life.

Maybe it's time I rethink my priorities. These guys and their lack of heart are causing me too many heartaches (physically and emotionally). I don't just know if it's worth it anymore. I mean how can they keep allowing a team to get into it after dominating them for 55 minutes? How is that possible? What in god's name have I done to deserve this?


If this keeps up, and again - I'm not kidding, I may end up dying of a heartattack one of these sundays.

Enough with the teasing, Fellas. My heart can't take much more of it."

Man, I CANNOT AGREE with you any more... I felt the exact same way and I don't know if my heart can take much more of this torture. 6 out of 7 games have come down to the final moments... Our 3 losses were heartbreaking, ESPECIALLY the Commanders and, of course, this F'ing game against Seattle!

I have also been a Cowboys fan since birth - that would be coming up on 30 years (I also have a Danny White jersey since I was 1)... I've gone through the ups and the downs of these past 30 years and I must say that this season, so far, IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST!!!

It's one thing to KNOW that we sucked and that we are going to win 3-6 games... ok I lose a bit of interest in NFL football when the Cowboys team is that bad, but hey, at least I know what to expect. When the Cowboys were great, losing was tough, but I KNEW that we'd still make the playoffs and make a great run at the Super Bowl... in the 90's, a top favorite to win every season! Ok, the Cowboys don't win the Super Bowl, it's dissapointing, but it's still a good season.

This season, so far, has been heart wrentching and painfull, to say the least. I KNOW that our team is young and inexperienced, BUT we also have Bill Parcells as our head coach AND have A LOT of talent. We should make a RUN at the playoffs... yet, every game, against the good and bad teams, our 2005 Cowboys manage to play up or down to the level of our opponent. To know that we are a good team, to know that we have a lot of POTENTIAL this season, ESPECIALLY in the NFC, to know that we SHOULD be 6-1 COULD be 7-0 REALLY PISSES ME THE HELL OFF!!!

Every week I look forward to watching and rooting on my Cowboys, even after the embaressing loss to the Commanders this season... and just when my "hopes" get up again after beating 2 NFC East rivals (eaGALS and Giants), we blow ANOTHER game that WE WON... or should've

I guess I'll need another week of rehibilitation to get ready for the Cardinals game, but I really do not know how much more I can take of this and if I'll even make it alive 'til the end of this season!

Wish me luck guys!!! And yes, still GO COWBOYS!!!

In life you have to take the good with the Bledsoe.

 

[kartr]

No I'm completely serious.

I've been thinkign about getting a punching bag. It would probably be a good idea.

Be sure and put Bledsoe's picture on it.

 

[Duane]

If Jose Cortez is cut you can probably start taking your frustrations out on him. I'd hate for you to hurt a perfectly good punching bag.

Man, this dog of a team and joke of a coaching staff isn't worth your health. Just quit watching, because it's not going to get better- every single game is going to be like this. Thankfully, I didn't see one bit of the game or any game this week- I was at the NASCAR race. Of course, I was mad when I got home and found out we lost and everybody I hate won, but, not seeing it took the edge off of it.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I agree 100%. All three of our losses including the 49'er win have taken a huge huge emotional toll on me. This is increased furthermore by how intensely I followed the team this summer and how good I think they can be. This team is searching for an identity.

 

[Sportsbabe]

I've started drinking .... I'm not a drinker. BP talks about being able to play under pressure ... well lets see, they can't and I can't watch under pressure without drinking. I won't be drinking next week, because if we don't win, I won't be able to handle it.

 

[TruBlueCowboy]

You fellas should use my cure. I'm getting hit by a hurricane right now. Nothing like good ol' mother nature and her impressive wrath to keep you level headed after a disappointing loss by your team.

 

[Dallas22]

I'm in Orlando and getting some of the bad winds and rain, so I know what you mean... BUT... This Cowboys loss STILL HURTS and the hurricane didn't really level me off yet... football SHOULDN'T be THIS important, but hey... I can't help it.

Heart Attack, here I come!

GO COWBOYS!!!

[Danny White]

The toughest part is that I'm trying to be a good sport in front of my 4-year old son. I'm raising him to be a good Cowboys fan, and he watches every play of the game with me, jumping up and down whenever we have a good play.

When the game's over, he's looking to me for a reaction, and if I'm cursing or throwing things around, I know what kind of impression that gives him... so I have to bottle it up inside and tell him "oh well, we'll win next week."

So for crying out loud Cowboys, shape up and win it for this guy:
