Miami is looking at putting 80 up on this defense and you’re telling me not to “overreact” after losing to quite possibly the worst team in the league is hilarious. Look at our upcoming schedule and tell me not to overreact. What a joke.
It's the usual casual posters. I'm surprised i haven't seen one "you're not a fan if you're mad" post. But it's coming.

The Cowboys did not play well at all today. Too many penalties. Too many lost assignments on defense. Poor execution. Poor OL play.

But this is just one game. Yeah we sucked. But those of you who are perpetually ready to jump off the bridge (figuratively of course) just go ahead and jump. Lol

We played out of our minds the first two weeks. Everything went right. This week everything went wrong, and absent some piss poor officiating we probably win this game too.

The overreaction here is excessive.
Another notable omission: the guy eating up 25% of the cap.

Just because you don’t overreact to a loss (every SB team has lost games they “shouldn’t have”) doesn’t mean you’re a “casual” fan.

Being constantly miserable over a game seems like a waste of valuable time.

the cardinals were dropping 6 or 7 into pass coverage. you think with that you can run some screen plays, but we didn't. the run game worked in second half, but not inside 15, or 10 yard line, where you need capable big bodies to push and we had two UDFAs starting at center and Guard, one of them a rookie. and Edoga was a turnstile. he cost so many plays, in pass plays and in run game.

and what the heck was it with all those penalties, more than half were pre-snap. no excuses for those.
I kind of am classifying this game as a freak accident until I am proven otherwise. Arizona also is not nearly as bad as the media (and their record) indicates.

I mean, how many offsides was the defensive line called for? 5? 6? You’re not going to win many games that way.

It’s an overreaction to be upset at the same bulljive we’ve seen for the past 28 years? It’s bulljive to be upset to lose to the worst team in the NFL when your team has Super Bowl aspirations? No.
Every single SB champion in history have lost and won games they shouldn’t have.

This stuff happens every week.

It does if you send a "relax" post.
OK, go ahead and destroy your TV. Force others to roll their eyes and avoid you because you’re always mad/unhappy. Lose sleep, develop anxiety, lose interest in hobbies, cultivate a fragile ego—all because the team lost a game. If you don’t freak out, it means you’re casual, and you don’t care.✊

cardinals lost two games by a total of 7 points. so they weren't as bad as media made them out to be.

no team that has won the Super Bowl has lost to a team as awful as these cardinals but go off sir.
Chiefs lost to the lowly Colts last year.

Bucs got SHUT OUT by the Saints when they won.

But....this argument can't be won....because no matter what example I produce, you will say the 2023 Cardinals are worse. You're one of the silly fans...that probably had us going undefeated this morning...after 2 games...and now have declared the Cardinals the worst team in who knows how long, also after 2 games. The Cardinals easily could be 2-1 right now. How do you know how good or bad they are. IT'S THE 3RD GAME OF THE FREAKING SEASON!!!! we are still finding out what teams are right now...and will be, for another 3, 4 or 5 games.

We will be fine. Losing 3 offensive lineman and your best CB in a passing league is an excuse.
If injuries are going to be an excuse every time the team lays an egg, they won’t be fine. Diggs isn’t coming back this season and we haven’t seen the last of the OL injuries.

Did our Super Bowl teams go undefeated? No. Go look back and see the losses they had. You’re playing against pros. Not collegiate athletes.

Good grief. Win 2 games in Sept....the fans in here start making SuperBowl plans. Lose 1 and it's "fire this guy or that guy"

You know why Andy Reid's teams are always good, even b4 Mahomes? He never overreact. He is like the captain of one of those giant ships....where you don't go yanking the wheel this way or that way and spazzing out from one mo.ent to the next, good or bad....you make small adjustments and keep it steady from 1 obstacle to the next.

Calm heads...patience... evaluate things over time, not forming absolute opinions from 1 week to the next.

There's 32 teams trying to win the SuperBowl. With luck, injuries, and just the sheer number of teams factored in, the BEST team maybe has a 20% (1 in 5) chance of winning it in any given year. We don't have a Mahomes....so like SF or Philly maybe we had a 1 in 8 chance of winning a SB when you woke up this morning. That still holds true now. Freaking relax. This is the most manic depressive fan base ever. 17 games.
Wow. Finally someone with common sense. Couldn’t agree more.

So i agree this team is still very good. But the oline issues i warned about are worse then even i thought.

The diggs loss was a back breaker. We are a very good team but losing diggs killed our realistic shot at winning it all.

The swagger and mojo are toast
