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

Eh, give up and don't watch the game. Whatever. Eagles fans felt the same way a few weeks ago - their defense was worse than ours - and they're back. We felt like that before Romo excited everyone. So, go watch the Lion King (tell me how it turns out) or whatever the rest of everyone who's given up wants to do.

I love football, and I'm gonna love watching my favorite team play at least one more game. So......bupkus.

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.

Have fun watching your musical. Any fan of any team could not sit and watch a musical over watching their team in a playoff game. Im sure if they win many of these naysayers will be back as "Diehard" Cowboy fans. Honestly why would you even post on this board? Its seems your wasting your time dont ya think?

I feel your heartbreak CR. This whole week I could really care less about the team. It has nothing to do with giving up on them but it is if they gave up on themselves. Couple that with BP refusal to change things up and my tolerance for them is nill right now. I will watch the game tonight but it will not be with much invested it in.

This illustrates the feeling for me best right now. I am sure I will watch it, but I just don't feel it right now. I didn't during the Lions game, I just watched it with disgust, but shook my head.

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...

Roger that...

It's not the fans that need to hear that. This "Let's" stuff does nothing. If the cowboys were as intense on the football field the last month as I was in my living room (destroying things) they would of won out.

CR...i have had those feelings of yours tugging at me all week....HOWEVER
i went ahead and put on the luckiest jersey i have, got the hot sauce made,
turned on all the Tvs in the house......and have worked myself into believing
that today all will be right in CowboysLand.
to steal a line from the old mets baseball team..."Ya Gotta Believe" !!
hang in there fellow Cowboy fan....there is still life in the Cowboys.
(poke now puts down the kool-aid)

My lucky shirt ran out of luck weeks ago. I think I'm gonna pour chicken blood all over it, do a ritual dance around it, burn it, then pour the ashes over Texas Stadium.

I don't know whether to post the lyrics to Suicide Solution by Ozzy or Have a Drink on me by AC/DC :

I need an offseason to recover.
