Imagine what their fan bases are saying

[BHendri5]

It happens every day. No one comes out and says it quite like that, but defending the Dak resigning, for example, because he has the ability to beat up on dog teams in the regular season is what? It's defending mediocrity.

why do you people like torturing yourselves? always whining about Dak's contract! Always wanting to blame one person for what you think is wrong, when supposedly you know football, that one person is not going to win or lose a game.

Wow. You somehow make this about your obsession. What an odd reach.

I frankly don't care about any other fan base

The fans that I feel sympathy towards are not the ones whose team never went to a Super Bowl like the Browns and Lions.

I would think that the most disappointed fans are the one's whose teams have gone to multiple Super Bowls but never won. The most unfortunate teams are the Vikings and Bills. That has to sting. So close and, yet, so far.

In many cases there were games in which the Bills and Vikings came close but lost by a sore or two. Fans are haunted by the one or two specific plays that made the different between being a championship team and being just one of the other 31 teams.

The Bills lost to the Giants by one point in 1990. Did you know that, before that game, the three closest Super Bowls were the three that the Cowboys lost?

I think that losing a Super Bowl is worse than not getting there. It's almost a tease. Your team had a great season, went on a winning streak during the playoffs and needs one more victory to claim that they were the best team that year.

Fans whose team went to one or two Super Bowls in their history and lost will end up chasing that high for the rest of their lives. I'm thinking of teams like the Cardinals, Titans and Chargers. It's interesting that all three teams ended up moving out of their original city at some point.

You do realize SF has been to the NFCCG 7 times since 2000 (4 times just in the past 5 years) and have played in the super bowl 3 times in the past 11 years? Sure, they haven't won it all for a very long time, but they have been a hell of a lot closer than the Jerry boys. And like post #16 just said, none of those 12 teams has been saddled with the worst GM in professional sports for the past 28 years.

Ok, yeah I realize that, but I do know 49ers fans and they complain about the 30 yr drought, oh yeah. They say yeah we make it to the playoffs to the NFCCG, but just like the other 31 fan bases they want the ultimate trophy and they are getting tired of coming up short. Post !^ is stupid, We do not have the worst GM, I will take our GM over any other

You want another example? What did bringing Zeke back accomplish? Zeke is about as washed up and mediocre as they come, but there were members here who were excited to see him return. That's defending mediocrity.

Signing Derrick Henry would have shown the team was serious about shedding the mediocre label, but Dallas fans get Zeke instead. Go Cowboys !

Frankly I don't either, I'm trying to give you constant whiners some mental help, because I'm tired of reading and hearing ya'll cry and complain and talk like you know football and you're just being ignorant, it is what it is let it go or find another team but stop with all the whining

A few of us aren't satisfied with regular season success and want more. But if you are happy with perpetual one-and-done playoff appearances, no one will try to take that away from you. This GM you seem to cherish isn't trying to win championships.

 

[BHendri5]

Yeah but our owner says the best is yet to come for Zeke and we're saving him for that Super Bowl run

Man stop, if you don't know Jerry by now, my best advice is to stop listening to him.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

ya, I pretty much do not care about other franchises, or what they have or haven't done.

concerned that the cowboys cannot get it done, current ownership/leadership is the issue

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

The 49ers have been to 3 super bowls in that time. Probably more championship games as well. We haven't been to any of that. That's worse. No wins or hope.

It’s worse in theory but it’s like the Bills going to 5SBs…seems like that type of heartbreak is different.

Dude. Anyone that wanted Zeke back didn’t want him back to be mediocre. They thought he’d be good, I guess. To think they wanted him so we could be mediocre is unhinged.

There was a reason he was released.....

I'm happy with every single win we get when we suit up!!!! I'm not one of those fans that go through the schedule saying we'll win this game or lose this game, I watch the game how ever it ends win or loss, whatever happens I give myself time to let my emotions take over for a minute and I move on, later on in the week I go back and watch the games again, without the emotions because I already know the result and I break down the game

 

[DogFace]

Yea, I agree with that, but some thought he was still good. To think fans want mediocrity is weird. Maybe you’re too caught up and need to step back for a while?

Fans want their team to be good. They may have different ideas on how to get there than you. It’s pretty normal.

Make sense?

 

[BHendri5]

Do they all still have the same GM?

Why do you care, ours is better any way

 

[blueblood70]

Attaboy, keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

AND whatever helps you needing therapy and the group that you're in that constantly complains and brings it up when there is nothing you could do about it... Oh wait you can you can LEAVE but I'd rather be waiting on number six, VS teams that have none or let's just bring in the chiefs they're the latest and greatest right 52 years between super bowl wins..

I'm really tempted to ramble on, and I WILL LOL

I'm going to tell you right now there are worse situations than being top 6IN regular season wins and being in the playoffs 5 out of the last eight years, much much worse.. Do you know the interesting fact that the Cleveland Browns haven't won a division title since the 90s we've won 2 in the last 3 years,?

I mean seriously everyone's saying how bad things are here yes, it's frustrating falling short, that situation I'll take it over 75% of the league that's who we're better than look it up top six you find out it has nothing to do with average above average or whatever other weird words you call this team and Jerry Jones ownership style...

we are still relevant, we are still winning, and yes we're falling short, and it sucks, but it happens all over sports.

this drought is nowhere near what some of the record droughts for teams not winning championships but we're waiting on number six again do I need to remind you we're not waiting on the first we're not waiting on the 2nd and there's only three teams since 1989 when Jerry took this team over they have three or more championships and that would be the chiefs and the patriots and us Can you believe that all this time in this drought and we're still top three since then and we're also top three in total Super Bowl wins and we're probably top five in Super Bowl appearances because why it is very difficult no team is overcome and jumped us because it's hard it's very difficult this is all putting this stuff on Jerry as if the rest of the league or other sports franchises and other leagues don't experience this they all do.

Really?

 

[BHendri5]

None of us, including the OP, are happy about the lack of success since January of '96, but it's absolute elitism to think we 'deserve' a 6th SB before other teams get their 1st. Of course we all want that, but since it's not in the cards, it'd be much healthier to accept the fact that we're not always going to be one of the best teams.

I'm not happy that we have not made it to the NFCCG, or the SB. But I'm good with the success we continue to have while we continue to make it to that game and into the SB, and winning the SB once we are there. People may not see us as being successful even though we have successful regular seasons, but it is success, as most people don't want to admit, but they know regardless of their hope and wishes teams have their cycle they will win but their time will come when they will fall back ad hopefully they don't fall off too bad (New England) is back where they were when I was growing up, Kansas City will rejoin them soon.

I'm pretty sure at least 95% of fans would've been happier to see Henry signed, but many would've been complaining about the price tag. But I think the only reason some fans seemed happy about Zeke's return is because of the horrid running game we had last year, and they figured he'd at least be better than that.
