My First Thread/Activity on this site in quite a while. Thoughts before game.

[Crown Royal]

Hi everyone. I've been out of town, so that attributes a bit to my absence from the board.

But I felt I needed to create a thread before this game to explain why I've been away longer than that.

I'm heart broken already by this team. I think most of us are, the way we ended the season. Our talented defense is getting destroyed, and has been for a while now. I am a young guy, so my memories don't go back far. But i can't remember being so down on this team.

I loved the Cowboys even during Campo, when it was a ClownCollegeClusterCar out there wearing the star. I loved this team in Parcells second and third years, when what we were trotting out there just couldn't get it done.

But at this point, I don't know if I have the heart left to watch the game today. I am considering going to see the Lion King musical instead. We are 9-6 with the talent to be 12-4. We have more talent than we have had in a decade, if not longer, but we can't stop a fullback from looking like the second coming of Czonka.

The playoffs mean nothing to me right now, outside of my love for football that transcends the Cowboys. My greatest fear is that we win out and either lose the superbowl (something I can't stomach) or, possibly worse, dare I say this - win it.

I honestly think I might be disappointed in a Super Bowl win after this season. I don't want to be like the Steelers of last year, limp into the playoffs, catch breaks throughout, and then win with a pitiful performance. I want a dominant team, not an asterisk.

There is no purpose to this thread - I am sure that it is more of a rant that people will get on me about, angry that I am bringing clouds on what could be a good day. But right now I feel about this team how Parcells looks - I just can't handle it right now.

That being said, I hope we win today - Go Cowboys.

Come on brother, you almost sound like some of the sorry reporters from D-Town who are supposed to be Cowboy´s fans. Come on, have some heart...I have been a fan since the 70s and I say let´s kick the crap out the seachickens and anyone else that comes down the road. I understand where you are coming from, but shed that negative mojo. Today we start a new season...

 

[PBJTime]

I think many of us share similar sentiments. We aren't playing up to our pontential, and that can definitely be disheartening. Though, I think with some tweaking and maturing, we could have an outstanding team next year. In any case, good post and welcome back.
:beer2:

I'm trying just by being here. But if our team can't hold their heads high, how can I?

By the way - one of the things I am talking about. Every time I come to this board, as few times as that is lately, I see that the majority of threads are about Parcells leaving, To staying/leaving, who is our next head coach, who stays next year, what happens next year? We are all more concerned with next season than these playoffs.

I'm that way too - not throwing people under the bus. Just illustrating the point - I feel like we don't even deserve to be here.

I'm sorry, but in no way shape or form would this team winning the Super Bowl be the catatstrophe you make it out to be

 

[Rack]

They've shown no ability or willingness to play good in an important game for the last month. Today's game will be no different. If they couldn't get excited to play a weak team at HOME for a chance to possibly win the NFCE and get a home playoff game, then why should/would this game be any different?


We're gonna lose, and lose big. I'm not being negative, just realistic. If they'd shown SOMETHING over the past month I might feel different.

Be prepared boy & girls, cuz it's gonna get ugly.

we shall see. There are no absolutes in the NFL.

Nobody remembers how you won it, it's just that you won it.

Don't apologize for disagreeing. I'm sure if we get there I'll be sitting at a party cheering my guts off. But after this season, I can't see how we can be considered the best team in this league this year.

Rubbish - what blue blooded Boys fan doesn't remember that Gibbs wins SuperBowls in scab years?:laugh2:

You are correct, it is as if we have already lost and people are pinning their hopes on the following year.

 

[lane]

you're not a real fan if you are considering going to see a lion king musical over the cowboys.

If Zimmer is still here, I won't have hope for next year either.

 

[Rack]

You enjoy punishment if you'd give up watching the Lion King musical to watch the cowboys go "Sleepless in Seattle".


And that's saying a lot cuz I consider watching a lion king musical to be punishment.

 

[Kaika]

I here you and I know where your coming from.

That being said , My problem this year is, that Before EVERY game we go into, I try to get the feeling that," THIS IS THE WEEK"!!!!!!!!

This is the week, the "D" play's they did against the Colts, this is the week that T.O. and T.G. get 150+ each, this is the week that JJ gets 200 & M.B. 100, this is the week that T.R. throws for 300+.

Only thing that happens every week is, disappointment


I may have high expectations ,but from what I've seen in the past from this team there are flashes.

if we already lost this game, why bother even playing it?

I didn't say we lost, I said I think we're gonna lose based on what I've seen of them the last week.


You gotta problem with me not drinking the koolaid?

 

[BigDFan5]

I agree I mean who wants to win a superbowl if you defense looked bad for a few weeks at the end of a season

in your post, you said we are gonna lose, not i think we are going to lose.

you made it sound like we have no chance.

if we have no chance, no point in playing

Gee, I thought it was apparant it was my OPINION. I was unaware you thought of me as a precog.

I guess I'll have to put an "IMO" on every post so not to confuse some of you.
