Does a Cowboys win or loss effect your next week?

[MWH1967]

1. No, I just enjoy football and the Cowboys are my team.

2. Slightly, I follow the team closely and I matters.

3. Yes, But I get over it either way by mid week.

4. Are you kidding? ( I'ts a big deal man!)

5. My whole week is good or bad based on a win or loss. ( no exceptions)

Hell yes it does! I'm noticeably more upbeat and vivacious after a win. I watch the other games (if we played early) and am fully engaged.

A loss, and it usually takes a couple days for the sting to start to go away, and the rest of the week for it to fully subside. I have to force myself to watch the other games that day, and the whole time I'm reminiscing on our loss.

It's really bad if we lose on a Thursday, having to endure nearly a week and half for redemption, as well as a whole Sunday of non-Cowboy football -- that I watch, but in protest!

A lot of this board will say it doesn't effect them, that it's "just a game," yet the posts after a loss clearly point to the contrary

And just to amswer your OP, somewhere between 4 and 5

It does effect my whole week. I feel better by the time Thursday rolls around. By then I'm looking forward to the next game.

But I guess 3.5?

All I know is I hate losing more than I love winning.

I have to admit, I really enjoy the wins, losses bother me but not as much as they used too. I don't know if my expectations are lower or I have just realized that there are more important things in life.

Failure always hurts more than success...until one looks back and puts things in perspective. After following the team and rooting for 57 years, rooting still is the dominant feeling.

 

[MWH1967]

yeah,, i'm some where between 3.6 and 4.2 depending on how much the game matters....

That's where I have matured to..in my 20's I was a 5++

It stinks but I can't let it drag me down.

It depends though.

Last season? Every win was great and when we did lose I felt like we were due for a loss so it was okay. Similar to how I felt in 2014.

2015? I was falling asleep during games by mid season. I didn't let anything bother me shortly after Romo went down, it was a lost cause.

The 8-8 seasons? The losses followed me a little more because you always felt the team could beat anyone and every loss was gut wrenching.

I was either #4 or #5; however, after I got addicted to studying the game footage, I became much less affected by a loss. Game analysis after a lost is addicting unless it was a blow-out. I just have to understand Why they lost.

When I was younger, it would totally piss me off for days, I would be in a horrible mood all week.

Now that I am older and have a young daughter, the games don't seem that important anymore. I root like crazy for a win, but when the team loses, I don't get upset anymore.

I think having a daughter is the reason for the change. You quickly realize that the outcome of a professional sports game really is not that important compared to being a parent.

You do!

Cowboys losing really pisses me off.

4 bordering on 5

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Not anymore. In the old days it did. I'm used to disappointment nowadays. If we finally win a SB I might be in shock. lol

 

[MWH1967]

I do to, but you have to get to the point where you become a student of the game and understand the why, how and because. Also throw in there the other positive things that really matter. Dang, I sound like I need a shrink...lol!!

There was a time in my life that it was a strong "5". But I have to say time and age change many things. Now it is somewhere between "1" and "2". I still feel as passionate about my "Boys" but life has a way of teaching you that there are many more things more important than a cowboys win. JMO
