I almost cost us the game

[HeavyBarrel]

We do not influence the game unless we are there and sit on out hands.

Holy smokes dude, you understand the premise right? Not to be taken literally.....Just avoid the topic altogether

I've been wearing the same clothes (everything) all year. When they have lost I was wearing something else. Today I was wearing all of it, but was sitting in a different spot than I usually do. I finally switched with my gf's daughter and it was 17-0 the rest of the way.

Lol! We started winning when my son and I switched couches. I knew that might work. Had to pull all the stops today!

Don't worry, I saved it for us. I put on a heavy coat to go take the dog out just before the second half started. Came back in with the coat on, saw the INT, didn't take the coat off for the rest of the half. Game won. I sweated one out for the team, so all is good.

lmao!!

 

[Szczepanik]

I bought my 2 year old son a 2T jersey from NFL shop the other day and paid 20+ shipping to get next day delivery.

He was cranky during the first half but in the second I had to play with him and the dinosaurs to keep him happy. Every time he was laughing, Dallas was coming back. Could. Not. Stop. The. Momentum.

Anytime he got upset, bad things happened.

if i can watch the whole game, we usually lose. if i can only watch part of it, we win. tonight, church was at 5pm central...right in the middle of the game. Win.

 

[shmee]

Was wearing my cowboys hat backwards all game, for some reason I flipped it around and we started coming back, left it like that til the game was over. When my wife came home I told her about the hat and she laughed at me, thinking I'm crazy. Then I read this thread.....I feel better knowing I'm not the only one.

 

[CowboyMike]

I've been wearing the same Cowboys pajama bottoms, random lucky And1 t-shirt, and boxers on game day since the London game. All three have not been washed.

I also have not been wearing my glasses to watch the game since we beat the Titans, so I have no idea whether it's Witten or Escobar half the time.

I do the same thing. Been rolling with a Cowboys grey hoodie under my Romo jersey for the last 5 weeks and pom pom stripped snow hat with the star on the front. Started the game not wearing the snow hat, went and grabbed it, few minutes later Williams has the long TD. Sorry folks, I will not forget again.

 

[FLCowboyFan]

If I record the game on my DVR ....... they lose.

I have the same problem. This year I stopped recording them and they have been on a roll ever since

 

[Fmart322]

I knew it wasn't gonna be my fault. I did everything right today.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I have a lot but the story I always tell is I don't shave on game day. That goes back to Jay Novacek and hearing an interivew with him right after he signed with the Cowboys. He said he never shaved on game day and I just picked up on that.

 

[Tawney88]

If I record the game on my DVR ....... they lose.

Yeah I think that too. Havent recorded a game since Emmitt broke the rushing record. Of course it was VHS then but

 

[starman22]

Yes. But this is silly not funny.

I think it is silly and funny!

I never wear Cowboy gear during the game. Back in the 90's I had a generic jersey that just said Cowboys with a helmet on the chest and blue stripes on the 3/4 sleeves that I wore every game and it worked. It doesn't work with this group though, so I don't wear it. (It doesn't really fit very well now anyway) I also point my Cowboy troll toward the tv.

 

[kimrose]

I have to stay in the kitchen at the breakfast bar, which has a total view of the TV, but still lol. It's hard to have to watch my team play at a distance. But I swear, if I step foot in the den, they are gonna do something stupid. My family was yelling at me to get back in the kitchen. LOL> I got back just in time, Lawrence laid on the ball. Yeah! Next week, I will be firmly planted in my breakfast bar seat, I will try very hard not to run to the TV. lol.

 

[Hoov]

i never wear a cowboys t- shirt during the game anymore.

for the past several years..every time i wear cowboy clothing we lose 85% of the time.

damn sure was not wearing one today.

On that note. I have a special championship Cowboys shirt I have not worn for a game in almost 20 years and have only worn probably 2timrs in that span.

But will wear next week.

noooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[TX_Yid]

I tried every seat in the house. When I started sitting on the floor things started to improve. You're welcome.

 

[joshjwp]

I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one that does stuff like this.

I won't wear Cowboys gear during games anymore because we always lose when I do.

I went to the game in Philly this year and I did different versions of crossing my fingers throughout the whole game.

This game every time something went wrong I moved where I was pacing or sitting, changed shirts, changed which room I was watching it in. Eventually I found the right formula.

I sat on top of my made bed, with my 2 dogs, shirtless, going back to my Philly plan of trying different versions of crossing my fingers and once I found the winning formula I held in a trip to the bathroom for the whole 4th quarter and didn't move haha.

 

[yimyammer]

I have a cowboys tervis that has a star on one side and Dallas on the other. I take a sip of water from one side and then a sip from the other to start the 4th quarter. I forgot. As soon as I did the flag was picked up and the rest is history.

What are some of your game day superstitions?

I decided I was a jinx after watching the Philly thxgiving loss so now I DVR the game and turn off the phone, ignore the internet, etc and won't look until I know the game is over, then I watch it. They haven't lost since, so no live watching for me, but I'm thinking about breaking the superstition for GB.

I rarely make definitive predictions on record but when I do they ram it up my arse.

* I predicted they would have a losing season in 2011, playoffs ensued

* I predicted they would go 6-10 this season

* Then right before the thxgiving game I got cocky and told my dad right before kickoff that we will win this, they could lose in a squeaker but NO WAY they blow us out, I couldn't even get to halftime before that was rammed up my butt

So I decided thats it, I'm dog cussing them from here on out (not on this forum, just in private & among those that understand I'm just being absurd)

I know its silly and absurd but its probably been good for my health. I get insanely emotional and would have stroked out watching this game live, so many ups and downs, too many for my weak heart but phonomenal effort and grit to pull out the win, really impressive to hang in there and not give up

 

[DandyDon1722]

We won because I did my job.

During my workouts for the week I will end reps on specific Cowboy numbers and really push myself to exhaustion always saying to myself "fight" ! I have to do everything I'm supposed to do and cannot for any reason quit or rest.

I have ramped up each workout n this winning streak and it's killing me but just when I think the bar is going to crash through my head and I'm on rep 11 I I tell myself, "I can't let Roger down, not number 12." And I push through it.

God, I'm glad you guys don't know people who know me lol!
