It's going to be a rough week for Roy.

and every fan who just wants to talk football, not bag on the current bagboy.

Does Merrill's hair look extra rediculous to anyone else?? Maybe it's because I haven't matched ESPN NFL coverage in awhile...

He lost it all due to chemo/radiation a few years back. I don't think he cares how it looks so long as he's alive.

DAVE! when you coming back to texas man? hooters and other places are calling!

as for those saying roy will be fine - can you show me some threads where after a game they come in here making excuses, or does the HE SUCKS patrol get the 1st shots in?

so far i'll agree. it's a bad trade.

however, many of us while agreeing it was a bad trade, simply get sick and tired of the WAH patrol having to ball-peen hammer it into us week in and week out, 4-6 threads a day.

Who has the gun to your head?

You can avoid any thread you want. Just step away from it.

You don't though. Instead you post time and time again whining about another poster whining about Roy.

Maybe message boards aren't for you.

That's one thing I hate about fans on this site. "Choice is a beast but Marion sucks". "Jenkins is making plays but Newman sucks". "Austin is a beast but Roy sucks". "Brooking is terrific but Bradie sucks". Goodness lol. We need to chill out and let this come full circle.

OK, here's a fresh perspective.

Roy sucks because he sucks!

No ****. I don't see anyone whining about the pro-Roy threads, or asking that they be merged. If you thought this place was bad after a loss, it's much more insufferable after a victory.

I didn't hear Hodge say any thing all that bad. "Late and Lazy" He simply showed the difference between Austin and Williams. He's not wrong is he?

Icey! How are you? I'm going to come to the new house next season. This year is a trip to Madison Sq Garden watch the Rangers play. Maybe a night
at Scores. I hear ya about the complaining but it's a forum. It will never change so I just have fun with it.

Actually, I think he said, "The difference in Austin and ALL the other Dallas WRs."

Just saying.

then again maybe idiots are not for me. you seem to throw your agenda out there time and time again and honestly, come across as a mini-me of the local dallas media.

you could avoid bagging on roy every chance you get too. maybe a 2nd topic just isn't for you.

we could do taht crap all day long. even you in your current einstein status realizes i post around here a LOT less. hell, i waited to today to come in and check out the thoughts on the game cause i figured we just can't be happy even after a GOOD WIN.

and that's what it was.

so if in your mind message boards are here for you to rag on players nonstop until even the UNDEAD wake up and scream, maybe message boards are not for you either.

that's my main point. there's just a sector of cowboys fans who WANT to be upset. so if we win, find some other reason to still be mad.

must suck to go through life like that.

About what exactly? If your saying that Miles is the best route runner we have and that Romo trusts him, OK. That's fine but remember, only a couple of weeks ago, there were legions of people on this board who wanted Miles gone because of a pick that Romo threw against Denver. Everybody was ready to right him off because he couldn't run a pattern.

TO was one of the best WRs in the history of this game and he ran crappy routes. Moss is the same way. Roy Williams is never going to be a great route runner but that doesn't mean that he can't be an impact. Some routes he won't run as well as Miles or Crayton. Some routes, he'll run better. The trick is for Romo to trust him and for Roy to catch the damn ball. It just takes a little time and patients is all.

What's the "wait time" for pointing out problems with the team or certain players following a win? 30 minutes? An hour? A full day? Never? Seriously, what's the magic number? Since when does winning put a freeze on discussion or debate? That kind of crap might fly in totalitarian states, but not message boards. If I can avoid the threads that praise the team unfairly or unnecessarily, then certainly you can exercise the same restraint. Much classier than telling others to "shut up."

must suck to go through life like that.

It's pretty clear they they're never going to love the team to your satisfaction, so you might as well stop trying.

That's all I'm saying. I really didn't care one way or the other if we signed Williams or not. I'm no expert but I do know some players develop quick some not so quick. Williams has always been an average player. Of course he played on a below average team so people had the idea he would be better here because we have better talent to surround him with.

Hodge just pointed out what Williams has always been. Some guys get away with it (owens) some guys don't. Austin still doesn't rate top billing in my world yet. He seems to be maturing, he could still fall from grace.

The difference seems to be he is working hard to make sure he doesn't.

I would have signed a one legged, half blind WR to rid this team of owens.
So I guess in my world we are ahead with Williams.

we won. we're 4-2 and tied for 1st again thanks to the giants loss. can we be happy about that?

we've spent 5-6 years saying this or that WR will break out soon and our young guys will finally start stepping up. now that one has, can we be happy about that?

romo and austin are setting records all over the place - can we be happy about that?

NO. we gotta sift through a bunch of prima-donna whiners who have to find any negative they can so they can stay pissed off and angry about something or other.

please - for the love of god and my own posting sanity, offer up a "Whine Zone" where the whiners can do all they want of that and leave out those who wanna just talk football.

and dare to be happy.

Will there be cheese?

Tell me there'll be cheese.

He's trapped in this thread, lol.

If I had a key I would let him out, but I don't so I can't.

No one cares if you post less.

No one cares if you hate the bashing threads.

No one cares if you want to be the uber fan and only have positive threads.

No one cares.

Get it.
