Let's Stop Living In The Past

[TheCritic]

Forget about 2021, the Broncos, the 49ers, the penalties. For that matter, forget about Jimmy Johnson, Tom Landry, the 5 Super Bowls.

Make a commitment that you are going to live in the moment and enjoy this season, one game, one practice at a time and you are not going to burden the Joneses, the coaches, the players etc. with all of your psychotic expectations, the need for the current Dallas Cowboys to live up to the past legacy.

Just pretend this is an expansion team - after all every season is really a new team. Be grateful for every win, and be even more gracious in defeat.

 

[Hagman]

Really, have expectations like this is an expansion team. We're not a Super Bowl contender, but we're better than expansion teams.
Forget one of the proudest legacies in all of sports?

No.

 

[JBS]

I don’t think anyone here is living in the past. They’re living in the future and they’re terrified of it.

 

[zrinkill]

No

 

[Whyjerry]

Huh. No. I like history.

 

[AsthmaField]

Be in the here and now… that’s what Jimmy Johnson would say! You are what your record says you are, like a Parcells said!

Now if we could just make a trade like the Herschel Walker trade, we could get back to where the Cowboys rightfully belong!!

Good post!

 

[Ranched]

Miserable personalities thrive on the past so they can compare to the present.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

If I stopped living in the past, how would I get my mail

 

[RS12]

Sigh. Reality, please open up the rainbows and unicorn zone.

 

[ShortRound]

Why is everyone trying to tell other people how to think lately?

Do differing opinions really trouble you guys?

 

[Big_D]

Will the GM be joining us or is he still living in the past?

 

[OGCowboy]

Day drinking, eh?

Go and fall for all the BS thats been spooned out for 25+ years if you want to....wear your Cowboys gear 24/7....some of us have known for years that greatness is UNATAINABLE as currently constructed....don't tell me to dream about Super Bowls, when 2nd round exits are the absolute ceiling. This is what I think about your request Mr. Man....

The past is all we have.

 

[KJJ]

No one lives in the past with the losses they live in the past with the big wins.

 

[Hardline]

I still have my three VHS tapes of our last three Super Bowls. I'm hanging on to them in case a museum wants to purchase them someday.

 

[MonsterD]

I try to forget but I keep getting this bad feeling like I can't shake it off. Like I was in a nightmare that keeps replaying over and over and...

Troy....Dak
Emmitt.....Zeke
Michael......Lamb

How can I stop living in the past when our GM is constantly trying to recreate the past?

 

[Corso]

Day drinking, eh?

It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

That's when I did my best living.
