Lol, Jenkins

[Staggerlee]

That is so awesome someone should make this their sig. And i have complete faith in jenkins now. IMO best corner on the team. I actually found myself thinking on that final saints drive "come on jenkins we need one more play from you". Hes now on of the guys on D i look to make a big play, along with ware and ratliff.

That they could win was never in doubt. Some people have the balls to pick against the Boys from time to time while others ritually chant "believe" until they finally get one right. Anyway, this is a good day for the front runners, who usually scatter like cockroaches after a loss. No offense.

The fantasy world you live in must be a really strange place, bbgun. You should at least try to be fair and accurate in your criticism every once in a while.

You to remember that he also spent a ton of years just not getting thrown at. For a 3-4 year stretch, he was among the league leaders in lowest target %, while guys like Jacques Reeves and Ant Henry had the highest target numbers in the league.

People don't complain that Nnamdi Asomugha doesn't lead the league in picks, do they?

True. I remember he went something like 19 consecutive games without giving up a TD.

Hey, better to be right twice as much as you're wrong than the reverse. When we start putting up 5-11 seasons again, then I'll stop "believing." As long as we're winning and have good coaches and a good QB, I'll continue to "believe."

True, if you don't care about "little" things like reputations or personal integrity. It takes no courage and even less honesty to favor your team week in and week out, and then take a powder when the going gets rough. Much better to be candid about the team on a week by week basis. They won last night, so they'll justifiably be patted on the back. That wasn't the case the previous two weeks, so they weren't. The eternal struggle between "fans" and "fanatics" continues apace.

I always am. Then again, I'm speaking to someone who sees media bogeymen under every bed. Heal thyself.

I would contend the exact opposite is true. There are those that predict gloom and doom for every game and continually chant "defeat" until they finally get one right. Considering our win loss record, the believe crowd is up 9-5.

But with better ball skills. Newman used to shut his guy down, but didn't make the opposing team pay for testing him. He didn't give up any plays, but didn't make any either.

Jenkins does a good job of keeping his man from getting the ball, but he also has some very instinctive ball skills.

Right on.

Jenkins probably would have pick sixed that ball Newman made a nice play on to break up.

Assuming these people exist (doubtful), they're wildly outnumbered by the gaslight crowd.

Reputations and personal integrity are for more important things than football.

Just because someone doesn't predict a win every game, doesn't mean they predict a loss every game too.

There's a difference between being candid about the team and claiming week in and week out that the coaches are terrible, the players are not winners, the team has "no chance" to win, making bets that the team won't win, claiming the owner is a joke, claiming that season ticket holders are the problem with the team, etc., etc., etc.

Being candid about the team is noting the limitations of Barber this year. Realizing that Flozell Adams is declining due to his age. Recognizing that Sensabaugh is overrated by most fans. Being frustrated by the sometimes inconsistent play of the offense and defense this year.

The real "fanatics" are the ones that are so emotionally unstable that they have to protect themselves from their emotional breakdowns when the team loses by being so pessimistic that they can, at least, claim they were right all along when the team does lose. These are the truly sad fans. They are not "realists." They are not true "fans." They're just weak-minded individuals that allow their fear of rejection and loss to overcome their ability to enjoy the team and the game.

Nice post. If this team wasn't so helter skelter there wouldn't be such separation between two extremes in the fan department.

I agree. I was referring to the half dozen trolls that run around our board predicting all types of stupid stuff every week. I had my doubts about last nights game but was not predicting the slaughter many here were.

This is the same local media that's being set upon by other fans, the players, the team's coaches, and now the national media we're talking about? Those bogeymen? Gotcha.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

So this turned into a who is the better fan thread???

Shocking.. Typical CBZ.. Immature active posters.

It was actually an awful post. bbgun confuses cynicism with intellectual honesty on a daily basis, then pats himself on the back for being honest when he's really just misguided.

And the team hasn't been helter-skelter this season. We've consistently beaten bad and mediocre teams and won our share of contested games. We've actually been very consistent with the pleasant exception of last night.

Either way, the Cowboys win twice for every one they lose. There's another explanation for the extremes in the fan department.

I liked it. That's pretty much all that matters to me. I respect your opinion though.

This team is very helter skelter.

I swear some of them need to get a room. This thread was about Mike Jenkins.

Just because someone doesn't predict a win every game, doesn't mean they predict a loss every game too.

Conversely, just because you may not be predicting that loss doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Edit: nice catch on the towel message. I was so engrossed in the game I didn't notice it. It would be a good sig pic.

bbgun and I couldn't be on farther ends of the spectrum for two posters who picked the team to finish within a game of each other.

I don't see your point about helter skelter at all, though. It's not like we drop games to bad teams, and it's not like anyone who's beaten us isn't in playoff contention. And it's not like any of the losses (with the possible exception of GB) weren't close games.
