It's been almost a week and i still cant get over it

[wileedog]

Not shocked. Just still feeling kinda ill about the whole thing.

The Giants.

Amazing.

Eli.
Jacobs.
Strahan.

Just ill about the whole thing.

My wife asked me if I am watching the games tomorrow.

I said "I don't know, I'm mad at football right now."

It's only one week later, not two. Your kid cheered you up? Yippeeeeeee! It was still a devastating loss. Don't imply that people don't have lives just because we admit that we live and die with the Cowboys. That's what being a fan is all about. That's what this forum is all about. We know it's just a game. We don't need your high and mighty sympathy.

Do your thing ma and speak on it..Yeauh!!!

You are right on the money. i could not have said it better myself. this hurts bad man.

 

[Joe71]

I've been feeling the same way. Everytime espn or whatever other sports show I'm watching starts to talk about the NFC championship game I change the channel asap.I will be numb watching the games tomorrow not caring who wins or loses.

Every time I turn on ESPN, NFLN, etc-as much as I hate the Giants, 99% of the NFC Title talk is Packers, Favre, Packers, Favre, Packers, Favre, Packers, Favre...which makes me EVEN SICKER.

Just imagine if the Pack win tomorrow...not just ESPN, Fox Sports, and NFLN will be cramming them down our throats, but CNN, FNN, MSNBC, Keith Olbermann, Larry King, Dan Abrams, Anderson Cooper, etc, etc will ALL but running hour long specials every night on "Almighty Favre".

I told you, a man's actions have consequences... if you get to annoying folks with your posts, then you'll catch grief...

 

[silverbear]

This is one of the worse nightmares i have seen in my 40 years of being a cowboys fan.the haters like Joe Buck,ESPN,Fox and others, are enjoying our Misery. i will never get my hopes up about this team again until they show me at seasons end. the fades at the end have gotten very old. yes i feel sorry for myself. but i also feel sorry for all cowboy fans. it's hard to let this go. i hope these coaches and players, feel as bad or worse as a lot of cowboy fans do.the rest of the NFL and national media are glad we are gone. while im sicken. my Misery goes on.

Man, you need the number of a good suicide prevention hotline... or perhaps you need to ask your doctor about some Prozac...

It's a freakin' FOOTBALL GAME, son... the Boys will pick up the pieces, try to figure out what went wrong, and get back after it again next year... courage, Camille...

Some are saying what you saw Sunday is the best you're ever gonna get out of Romo in a playoff game. Like Romo has already shown us his highest potential and that any coach will ever be able to correct some his mental flaws in his game. Like over coming frustration in the 4th quarter and being able to know when to throw the football out of bounds on key downs in critical late game situations. I mean think about it he's no kid anymore he's already going on 27 soon to be 28 years old. He been in the league already 5 years going on his 6th. He's been scorched about these lil dumb and stupid mental errors he keeps making during games by the like 4-5 different qb coaches already. Isn't it safe to say maybe a gun slinger qb isn't right for garrets system. i will never understand why he was tacking sacks when he was outside the pocket. all he had to do was throw it away. as for defense.this secondary has to be overhauled. other than newman.everyboby's job has to be on the line.Roy williams can not start here anymore. and J.Reeves and Nate Jones, have to go. i can see us drafting 3DB's in this draft. we also need a vet free-agent. i still cant get over this game. we never should have lost it.SICKENING.

Tell me about it.. im tryin to forget but everytime i watch espn or NFL live they remind me of it, or my friends call and remind me all the time.. i think im gonna have to get used to it because training camp is a looonngg way from now.

 

[silverbear]

Congrats to you and your kid. glad you could move on so fast. myself. the cowboys have been a big part of my life for 40 years. is it life or death?NO. but it is a big part of my life.even if it's just a game.my misery will end one day. but the pain has not gone away yet. it's going to take a while.

Aw, save the drama for yo' momma... rub some sand on it, and get back in the game, you big wuss...

We did not lose because of Romo, he played actually very well. He had 2 TDs just flat dropped (Fasano and Crayton) and another TD that Crayton just gave up on.

Yea Romo took the sacks when he should have thrown the ball away, but his receivers left 3 TDs on the field.

As far as maybe Romo is not the QB for Garrett's system, who do you have in mind we go get? We only started 17 QBs since Aikman retired, probowl QBs do not grow on trees. It can take a long, long, long, time to find one.

Personally, I upgrade the talent around Romo and give it another shot next year, but that is just me

Guys, I know this loss was a bitter pill to swallow, but trust me, this doesn't even come close to the week of misery after Dallas lost Super Bowl XIII. If there ever was a game Dallas "should never have lost." it was that one. What ever pain you feel now, multiply it by 100 and you will begin to have an idea what it was like back then.
We "Senior" Zoners survived XIII, you will survive this.

Come on every one, we have a solid team lead by a solid QB. A few minor corrections this offseason and Dallas will return to the promise land. This "pain" you feel will pass. Have some faith! The best is yet to come:starspin

I think the point he was making Silverbear was the this was a very, very dissapointing loss for all of us. Do we need to be put on suicide watch or given daily doses of prozac, of course not.

While the average fan can get over a loss in 30 mins, I find it very hard to believe somebody on this board could do that. See, we on this board are what you might call "Cowboy Superfans". Do you think average fans log onto their favorite team's board every single day, even after the season is over?

So for most of us on here, myself included, we are very dissapointed that we gave away a playoff game. Even Jerry Jones said this is the worst loss he has had since buying the team in 89, of course he also said he thinks about the Boyz 24/7, it never goes away for him and it is always in his mind.

For most of us on this board, we feel the exact same way. We think about the Boyz 24/7 as well and I agree with Jerry that this is the worst defeat the team has had since 89.

Thats my .02

 

[CliffnDallas]

It's for the best. No One is beating the Cheatriots this year, and I for one can live without seeing the Cowboys on that paticular highlite reel the rest of my life. We are Three months from the draft and Six months from training camp. I intend to take a lot of naps in the mean time.

 

[burmafrd]

We were not ready for the big game this year. That was clear. even if we had won, I think we might barely squeek by GB, TO would not have been 100% by the SB and TG neither; and we would still be stuck with Reeves as our #3 who would get toasted. I would rather lose early then to the Pats and have to live with those highlights for the rest of my life; its been bad enough with the loss to the Steelers (hundreds of times watching highlights of Swann making that catch and Smith dropping that pass). Almost as bad as the number of times seeing the "Catch".

Fist off, im not your son. im a 50 year old middle age man who loves the cowboys with a passion.yes it's only a game. but cowboy football is also a way of life for me. and it has been for 40 years. as i get up today, it's still hard to believe it's over. a 13 and 3, season wasted. and it's also the way we lost. the giants did not beat us. we beat ourselves.and the NFL refs did their part too.im not over it now. and i may not get over it for a long time. this is pure misery.

Now, that's just a youth's point-of-view.

The Dallas Cowboys franchise is (and always has been) one of the popular viewership draws in the league. Do you honestly believe that the NFL wanted us to go one and out? Please. You're young, but you'll eventually learn.

And the media? Get real. Here's a fact of life. The media is :money: driven. It doesn't hate the Cowboys. It loves the Cowboys. When it talks about the Cowboys, it attracts viewers. More viewers validate how much MORE the media can charge its advertising clients. When Dallas loses, it's going to talk about the Cowboys more. Why? Because the media doesn't want its advertisers to balk against the advertising rates which the media is charging them after Dallas is out of the football picture, that's why.

Sure, there is a media bias against Dallas, but don't get it confused. It's a bias which the media displays at a more personal level and usually rears its ugly head outside the regular/postseason during Hall of Fame time, etc.

Don't let the 'ESPN personalities' fool you. What most of them say in front of the camera about Dallas is probably different from what they say off-camera. In many ways, we ARE the league. From the fans' perspective, Dallas' history represents the best aspects of the league and the jealousy of that past success is what has showcased us in a totally opposite light. This franchise is interwoven into the minds of pro football fans throughout the world. You don't get it, but we are the Dallas Cowboys. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

Or don't.

Here's a simpler way to look at it. The Indianapolis Colts were the defending Super Bowl champions. The Dallas Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl in over a decade. After exiting the playoffs a week ago, WHICH TEAM HAS THE MEDIA TALKED ABOUT THE MOST AND WILL CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT MORE PAST THE SUPER BOWL ITSELF??? Also, WHICH TEAM HAVE NON-COWBOYS FANS PITIED AND WHICH TEAM HAS IT CELEBRATED AFTER THE ONE-AND-GONE LOSSES?

Good luck with those answers. :wink2:

 

[miamicowboy21]

I'm still sick I'm sorry. 13-3 , HFA and nothing to show for it. These type of seasons aren't to be taken for granted. I don't want to hear about positives spewing from Wade's lips. This was a devestating loss to for the franchise. No other way to put it. I refuse to wacth the NFC title game. I will wacth the AFC game because I want to see the Pats go all the way, because I'm sick of the 72 dolphins. The shock still hasn't worn off for me.

The NFL and the media wanted a Bret Farve/Tom brady superbowl.the best chance of getting that was getting the cowboys out of the way.Farve was never going to win in Dallas and they knew it.Green bay and NE will win today. and the NFL will have what they wanted for a Super bowl.if Farve wins it. he retires to a storybook ending. if Brady and NE win it.they go unbeaten, and go down as one of the greatest team's ever.either way, the NFL wins.i love the cowboys. always have and always will. but there is as many people who tune in in hopes of seeing the cowboys lose. the NFL knows this. why do you think they sent those one-sided refs to Dallas last sunday? sorry, but i disagree 100% with your post.
