Is Anyone Else.....

having trouble getting excited about the upcoming season. Last season disappointed me so much. I expected so much last season it really bummed me out. I have always been excited about upcoming seasons no matter how bad we did the year before but this year it is different. I pray they give me something to get excited about this year.

 

[Rampage]

nope. we have so many unanswered questions not only about our team but about the whole division. training camp should be starting in a few weeks.:dance2:

 

[NeonNinja]

If your not excited then something is wrong with you. Should be excited every season for your team no matter what has happened.

 

[Hostile]

Nope. I am always excited for the coming season.

 

[JBS]

I am super jacked for this season, I can't wait for it to begin. Maybe it has a little something to do with me being in attendance on Sept 20th vs the Giants? Maybe, just a little lol.

 

[Big Dakota]

If you are you should take up knitting.

 

[Jon88]

A little. We've been let down for two years in row (technically 13). I'm excited about the stadium, but I'm prepared to be let down again unless things change drastically in the lockerroom and players actually play with some fire.

The advent of football season is always exciting, even in down years. And then there's the added juice from the new stadium. The Boys still have too much talent to be dismissed as a playoff or SB contender, but I kinda like not being "top dog" for a change.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Nope.

Just like every offseason I am counting down the days.

Dallas Cowboys Expectations Up Or Down?
By Dave Troll • June 26, 2009

In 2007, the Dallas Cowboys had an amazing season completing a season at 13-3 as the NFC East Division Champions. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the will power or drive to win a playoff game that season.

During the off season prior to that, no one had any expectations of how well the Cowboys would do.

They come into the season in 2008 with many experts predicting that the Cowboys were the hands on favorite to win the Super Bowl. There were so many expectations of the team to accomplish that. They put pressure on themselves, the fans as well have expectations.

We all know what happened last season, they didn’t meet those expectations.

So, what are the expectations of the team this season? What are your expectations?

I think for the team, they always have expectations to make it to the Super Bowl. I think what hurt the Cowboys in ‘07 and ‘08, they didn’t have good leadership to harness the team and push them forward.

Do the Cowboys now have the leadership in place now? Can they take the right road and take it one game at a time? What should be on their minds right now, is Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Don’t worry about the rest of the schedule.

My expectations of the Cowboys is low right now. I believe they have the talent and the ability to push further this season. So many unknowns, will the wide receivers do what they need to do? Can the offensive line stay intact and provide better blocking? Will the secondary really show what they are capable of?

Don’t get me wrong, I have not lost hope in the Cowboys. I am just saying that it will be so much sweeter if the Cowboys do go all the way.

don't get bummed about the next season just because you bought into the hype last year.

I find that being logical about each season is the best way for me, I never bought the hype last year, it was fun to watch but I don't get "sold" on being a fan or into having unreal expectations, I just love the cowboys and watch it all with an open mind.

I love every minute of it too.

Did you forget to take your antidepressants? I can't wait to get training camp started.

When does training camp start??

 

[speedkilz88]

The calendar button at the top of the page says July 30.

The calendar button at the top of the page says July 30.

That's awful late to be starting, but I can't wait for that day.

Training camp starts and school ends. For good.

Well, I agree that this year is a little bit more subdued in terms of looking forward to the season starting. The Cowboys have proven that they can put points on the board, they can make the big play happen, there is no doubt in my mind that they have the talent to do it.

However, the last 2 seasons proved that having a surplus of talent on both sides of the ball is less important than have grit, desire, and teamwork. A certain chemistry and camaraderie is an ingredient that cannot be left out. To this point, (it's early) there's no indication that they have it.


Yet.

I have never needed any medication, but I don't know maybe I do now. I think this year I will not let myself get as crazy about things as I usually do. When last year started, I just knew we were going to win the Superbowl. I mean I had no doubts what so ever. When things turned out like they did, it really hit me hard. My expectations were so high that it was almost surreal watching how things unfolded. I guess I just have not recovered completely from it.

 

[Apollo Creed]

I won't run my mouth quite as much as I did last year.

Granted injuries and a confluence of forces kept us from the playoffs, but I was hyping up the 08 team like they were going to be locks for the NFC championship game.

But just when you think this team finally has a chip on their shoulder, they show you they don't give a ****. That chip is getting pretty big now. And if these guys have any hearts beating in their chests they are going to play their best football to date next year. But I won't run around promising anything.

Nope, can't wait for this season to start to shut up all the doubters.

How can anyone in their right mind NOT be excited? Lots of positive changes to the team, opening of most amazing stadium in sports history, alot of good young talent, several superstar calibar players.

I cant wait for training camp and preseason.
