If you just want to be a cheerleader. That’s hunky dory with me. I’m certainly not going to boo the girls or guys with Pom Poms. And they shouldn’t be booing the analyst and critics in the booth either.

There’s a place for everyone. All types of fans. Perhaps we wouldn’t invite everyone into our home to watch a game.

I’ve certainly sat next to some fellow fans I’d just as soon throw out but as long as they follow the rules or laws they are entitled to conduct their fandom however they choose.
Exactly, the team deserves all the criticism it is getting this week after that joke of a performance against the Commanders.

If the resident cheerleaders on this board get their panties in a bunch over it, so be it.

I think most Cowboys fans ae sophisticated enough to understand the difference between being negative and making honest, realistic assessment of their team's level of ability.

I fan may believe that their Cowboys simply aren't strong enough to be successful in the playoffs this season. That is completely different than wanting them to fail.

This is exciting. I love it.
The 49ers haven't won in 28 years.
The Vikings have never won a Super Bowl.
The Bills have never won a Super Bowl.

The Bengals have never won a Super Bowl.
The Chargers have never won a Super Bowl.
The Jags have never won a Super Bowl.
you seriously waited 30 seconds between each of these posts instead of including them all in one

the real Rambo would mow you down with a .50 cal for being so ridiculous

We all have one, this is a new year. I'll let it play out before I give my opinions. I know many won't agree, but the negativity is getting really old!

I’m beyond sick of it!!! These guys are so negative they shouldn’t be able to celebrate the playoff victories that are coming our way!. They talk more crap about our own team than I do about the Fecals, Foreskins, or the NY Football midgets.

I have but history just keeps repeating itself with this team the past 27 years…
Yeah, 3 decades of evidence tell me things aren’t likely to change. The Bucs aren’t that good this year, so I won’t be surprised if we win, but not expecting much after.

I feel like the company man who didn’t get the promotion he felt like he deserved. Resist the haters and the troll baiters But the commanders game and Many preceding it resistor heartbroken. Too many eggs laid in one season is a decision. Very subtle decision maybe the coaches and players don’t realize. But somethings there in overlook. I’ll enjoy the game

Well 12 and 5 isn't mediocre.
I guess for fans that find all of this acceptable it is not

I started out as a fan when it was EXPECTED for us to win the division and advance to the Championship Game

It is YOUR problem that your standards are so low that making the playoffs makes you giddy

One thing certain in life is that nothing lasts forever, at some point the cowboys will break all the negative streaks and will win a road playoff game, a divisional game, an nfcc game and a superbowl.

It will all happen, i think this year we check a couple of the boxes off and continue building momentum with MM....we have already checked a big box off in making it to the playoffs for back to back years for the first time in well over a decade.

Enjoy the ride, have some optimism, fight just being negative and downtrodden about everything.

Could be worse, we could be the other team in Texas...imagine how that must feel?

My hockey team went 39 years between championships. The memories of the heartbreaking losses in the years they were contenders, the memories of all the seasons they flat out sucked, the memories of the team owner who was content to go cheap and strive for "relevence" instead of going out and putting the final pieces in place in the obvious weak spots in the line-up to get that championship, the memories of that one team who we just couldn't get past...

I remembered everything as I drove 3 hours down to the outskirts of the city, got on a train packed with like minded people, spilled out on Causeway street to join thousands of other likeminded people as we exorcised those painful memories with celebration of a Championship.

I say. Don't let it go. Don't let it consume you, but don't let it go. Save it up and let it go when the time comes. More often than not it comes when you're not expecting it.

For the record, I'm not expecting it this year, so...........

I like to remember the last 30 years. Those 30 years include 3 Super Bowls. Why stop at 27 years?

:flagwave: IM From the great east and came here to Texas in 1980s as 10 year old, first game i watched was the Montana catch payoff game and Dwhite lost another one.. so i have ben fan very long time and each year is anew one and one off..do not live in the past.. we can debate the good or bad of a season or a game after they are over, not these negative threads on why we will lose..ughh

its constant,

started with the off season how terrible it was, then the preseason how bad our team is, after game 1 all predicted doom and gloom ie a losing season and yet here we are. Appreciate somehow a horrible team, was 12-5 and have shot in the playoffs.

It isn't over and they have as good a chance as any team.

Learn from it is great, but in this case, what can you do about? Enjoy the moment.....all I'm saying, why be miserable and negative......will it help?
The positive thing about the past, is that one can certainly learn and improve from it if one isn't just defeated by it's existence.
