What did you do in this thread?
I ask you to show me where I jumped into any thread and told people not to be excited. you couldn't and you can't.
This is what you said in response to me saying some fans disappear and don't post during a WIN streak:
"I've seen some posters completely disappear during and after 2015. You know.....no "thoughts" on the game, no film breakdown, no defending the coaching staff, no defending our drafting prowess of McClay and company, etc. All those eat crow threads during the 2014 season seemed to disappear. It cuts both ways......"
Again, you feel there's some equivalence of posters not posting after their team loses to a poster not posting after "their team" wins. It was an odd argument to make.
As I said in the other thread, you make certain assumptions and those assumptions are wrong. Specifically, that folks disappear because the team wins. Most of the regular posters have been here for years. Many of the folks you and a couple of thers seem to call out are still here. They have tens of thousands of posts and were here in 2014.
Maybe you're new here, but folks disappeared in 2015. Those were the folks that have spent years defending Garrett and Jerry. They left because they had all their CZ board cred invested in Garrett and Jerry. If you haven't noticed, these folks went to a rival board, similar in name to this one which, BTW, I think is cheap, recruited folks on this board and made that site private; it's by invitation only and no dissenting opinions allowed. It's homer heaven. So please don't sit here and tell me that folks here run off because we're winning when in large part just the opposite is true.
Some folks are either not really fans or are spoiled brats that want everything. Unable to be happy, or worse, get upset with others who are happy and remind them "this is isn't Super Bowl" and other obvious crap everyone realizes. We're simply happy because we are playing good and this angers you for some reason. You then try to dampen others enthusiasm telling them "if you're happy with relevance" then blah blah blah.
So because I may not agree with you I'm not a real Cowboys fan? This is the lamest argument some folks make here.
In any event, you need to follow along in the thread if you're going to repond to it/me. This thread was about
@cross believing people are jumping ship. I don't even know what that means when all the regular posters are still here adding to their post count. The Op himself has 112 posts since 2004. Does that mean he's a bad fan or that he only posts when we have a winning record (which may explain his lack of posts.) I don't make that assumption. I don't question his fanhood because of his post count or when he posts. I'm simply disagreeing with A) his premise that folks are jumping ship because we're 3 and 1 and B) his comment that we are "relevant." That seems to be the new buzz word in Cowboy Land, along with players "playing hard," not giving up, defending .500 as some successful benchmark because it not a "losing" season, RKG, passion, etc. If we had as many wins and we've had new buzz words to defend Garrett and company, we'd make the playoffs ever single season and then some.
