Is it that time of the year again?
Um....Yes I can. It might be dumb to you. But.lol ok. You keep thinking that way.
I’ll keep thinking it’s dumb.
You do not, in fact, get to dictate who are and are not real fans.
We're a bit early this year.Is it that time of the year again?
Um....Yes I can. It might be dumb to you. But.
I bet you do it all the time.
Their are levels of fandom and you have the discernment...and willingness I guess...to judge it.
You don't have to like it. You don't have to agree. You can certainly think it's dumb. But...Imma do it anyway.
Telling your team to tank for a daydream? I think that is dumb. So we're even.
Garrett was winning more games with “soft” teams, so I really don’t except that as an excuse as much as I accept injuries as being a problem. MM has made some horrific coaching decisions in many situations that rivals and exceeds the worst calls that a Garrett made. I will be the first to say that Garrett made plenty of bad calls that lost games. He made more of those bad calls than any coach that has coached the Cowboys. MM is not only matched the frequency of stupid calls, but he is exceeding the number of bad calls that Garrett has made. To top it off, the players are not showing signs of being a well coached team. They are showing horrible fundamentals and little motivation to improve. I know that the assistant coaches plays a big part in teaching and coaching players to play solid fundamental football, but these are MM hand picked assistant coaches and he is ultimately responsible. MM and Nolan said that they were going to adjust their schemes to fit the talents of the players, but I see none of that happening. It seems like they are doing just the opposite, especially on defense.whether that is accurate or not will only be decided after we give him the ability to build the team through a few drafts....
expecting him to win with Garrett’s soft team and the most major injuries I’ve seen in some time to this team is unrealistic
I think semantics come in to play here. I would think more Jet fans are hoping the Jets lose but I doubt they watch the games and pump their fist in appreciation when the opposing team scores. That to me is "rooting"I think any rational Jets fans are rooting for losses. Because they’re thinking about the future.
As far as Cowboys fans, some fans are comfortable with rooting for a loss if they think it will help the team in the future. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
If Dak has played, there is no evidence that the results would have been any different. Fans seems to forget that the team was not winning games before he got hurt and the games where he has the outstanding stats didn’t produce winning efforts. His stats did not equate to wins. Dak’s stats probably translated less to winning than any QB that has ever played in Dallas.If Dak Prescott plays...

This fan evaluation has become more and more common with these posters as the season has progressed. For a few of these guys, no fan is worthy of calling themselves real fans if they disagree with anything the Cowboys do or point out poor play by any of these players. This is a terrible team, horrible , pathetic, gutless, etc, but don’t be caught pointing it out or you will be accused of not being a real fan. It doesn’t matter if you have been a fan for 50 years or five months, your fandom will be questioned by some guy in his underwear that is waving pom-poms and screaming we are number one while trailing by 25 points in the 4th quarter.lol ok. You keep thinking that way.

LOL....too true my friend Too true.I think its egg nog and weed time man you've been on edge lately lol! Don't let these fellow fans aggravate you. Spoken like a what's good for thee and not for me guy. right lol?
You a baller man? I literally from as old as i can remember could not pass up a basketball court without wanting to play or doing so. I played in high school but wasn't good enough for college. My body has paid the toll though as at almost 60 everything thing hurts at times. lower back and knees mostly. I just basically gave it up just as Covid hit.LOL....too true my friend Too true.
I do admit...I have a very stubborn competitive streak in me. (Did ya notice? )
It's not just message boards. It's on the court in basketball. It's changing brake rotors and pads- which I may have never done before ever. It's creating technical reports at work, they have to be PERFECT in order to "win". The idea that losing is winning...is not in my nature. It typically serves me well in life. I do retreat to fight another day but that's not losing.
My words look way more harsh and intense than my actual demeanor. Usually.

I catch myself in the moment cheering when they make a play. But I don't get as upset when they screw up I just laugh it off. If we lose o wellI just don't get it. Why would anyone root for a loss???? Yeah, yeah, higher draft pick, but that's not a guarantee. How can anyone watch their team and hope that they lose????
but do you truly believe Patrick is doing it by himself? He couldn't beat Brady till he got a defense and he barely did then and he's got some extremely talented players on his side of the ball. Maybe a better ? is do you believe that Patrick would have became Patrick with garret and this Shatty defense I certainly don't. I think besides his unique escapability and his precision the thing that makes KC go is ReidSometimes extreme examples prove the point.
Imagine if ONE single win/loss yielded a transformational player like Patrick Mahomes. A player that would add many wins over his career and produce multiple Superbowl Championships.
Would you trade one loss for years of benefit?
Yes- it's an extreme example, but if the answer to the question above is yes, then we're only debating shades of grey.

I don’t “tell” them anything. I’m just a fan. Just like you. You wanting them to beat the bengals doesn’t impact them.

But I guess to answer your question if 1 loss could bring us Patrick as he is then yes. But Patrick wouldn't have same success here
