How bad does this board melt?

[glimmerman]

i recently came over from the old Cowboys message board during the offseason. So I am a rookie for the game threads.

Just wondering how bad this board melts down when it ain’t going our way. I will give fair warning that my posts are very critical and sometimes “slightly” negative during the game. It’s like I expect them to be perfect or something. Lol. I usually come back to reality after the game, unless we lose and then I snap blame people for the loss for a few days. If it’s close and we win I kool out.

But the Dez catch - non catch I melted down for a month. A lot of us from the old boards did. I still do. And the last game with Byron admiring rodgers instead of covering his guy RIGHT BEHIND HIM.

Any ways was just wondering. And want to appologize in advance for myself and some of my brothers from the old boards. I do however stay within the rules of the board.

I've been a forum mod somewhere or other from 2004 to early this year, I know how to behave.

Bad. Really bad. There’s a few that are great at it. You’ll notice them bailing early. Like last week.

A few maintain their composure like men fans.

If the Cowboys don't get a 1st down on the first drive and the other team does– This place melts like a Yankee Candle.




And then it gets worse from there.


You need a strong constitution to put up with all the whining and crying in the game thread.

Human nature,,, it's pretty much everywhere you find them. When things are going badly it gets ugly around here.

Its a mixed bag.
Some keep their heads and some think its armageddon.

As for the Dez catch. Im with you. That was crushing because we’d waited so long to get to the NFC title game and have a shot at the SB.
the way it unfolded was the preverbial straw that broke camels back for me. I was numb for awhile and maybe I grew up some....it changed me for good.
I don't care nearly as much now about a football game outcome.

It was a catch!

It melts. The gameday threads are cool, btw, but I prefer the live group chats.

I remember the meaningless preseason games around here. People lose their minds.

I don't think I'm going to melt down nearly as bad if things don't go our way tomorrow.

Mainly because this is the first season opener in a very long time that I am genuinely concerned/not sure about.

Like throwing a bucket of water on a wicked witch...

They do.

For many it seems the greatest adversity they face in life is losing a sock in the dryer.

The true definition of fan..ie fanactic, is the entire premise of this thread. That's all of us on here pretty much at one time or another. lol. No worries Glimmerman. We know...well, MOST of us on here know how to behave, but at various times we voice our displeasure too. None of us are flawless, unless your cowboyron HA HA....

I want to know where my missing socks go!

I think we're all pretty much even keel throughout the season. Rarely is there any sign of raw emotion.

 

[maryquality]

Yeah....I would imagine this board has its fair share of "melt downers". So, be prepared. I, myself, try not to get too worked up about the game. I know.....easier said than done!! I used to be just like the OP, and would get angry and upset for a few day!! And yes, after the "no catch" game, I was pissed off for a month!! LOL Now, I try to temper those emotions. I'm not always successful with that!! LOL
