I understand as much or more than most, how passionate Cowboys fans can be about their beloved team. After all, I am one of them.

So with that said, I cant help but feel the need to try and discourage all the finger pointing and name calling that's been directed at the entities who are associated with our teams organization. These people bleed blue and silver more than you or I.

We have lost two games out of the gate. We began the season with critical injuries in an area of concern that was our weakest link. So it doesn't surprise me and it shouldn't surprise you that we are off to a poor start.

Keep in mind that the media you depend on for insight is motivated to guide you to the edge of the nearest cliff and convince you it's time to jump. So, don't by into the hype. We are going to be fine.

Calling for the heads of our coaching staff when the going gets tough is a knee jerk reaction to a problem that is equally shared by many throughout the organization. It's not simply their doing.

A good team member supports his teammates. A good fan supports his fan base. So I am hoping that we can try and support our team when the going gets tough and stop throwing the coaching staff under the bus.

I know they have made their fare share of mistakes, but so have many throughout the organization as well as the players.

I'm proud of Wade for taking all the blame when it isnt his. I proud of the players who take the blame when it isn't all on them. So stop playing the blame game. And get behind your team.

If your not happy with the coaching staff fine. But stop calling for their heads. Now is the time to get behind your team and support them so that they can put their best feet forward.

When the end of the season comes, there will be time to sort out what needs to be done if anything. Jerry is not going to throw a monkey wrench into this machine even if it isn't well oiled.
 
Good post that unfortunately some will see as indictment of themselves and therefore it will be panned.

For the Fifteenth Season you're right....so how many more untill you're not.
 
My two cents...

That's about what it's worth. Please don't tell other people how to think, emote, or react to adversity. It's very rude, and we have enough "thought police" types here as it is. Thanks.
 
Nice take...and it's sportsmanship that drives the soul of this country. Not drunken bar fights....:starspin
 
We have too many people who think the are a better GM than Jerry Jones. A result of too much wacky tobacky and fantasy football...

If you are that damn smart than why don't you earn a couple of billion and buy the Cowboys?

No, rude is interpreting a commentary about sportsmanship...and you feeling there is something personal after you read it. One was done abstractly and yours was directly accusatory...HOW [email protected]:rolleyes:

Hey look! It's everyone's favorite fake lawyer and serviceman! Oh how I missed you.

Telling fellow fans in so many words to "shut up and get with the program" is a little too Orwellian for me. Sorry. But if it works for you ...

These are not the droids you are looking for.

Ya I knew this wouldn't be well received by all the whiners. They are hell bent on following the media to the edge of the cliff.

:clap2:

However, some will always be more interested complaining and demanding what they have zero control over than simply being a fan.

Wow. An attack on the fans and the eeeevil media in one post. Well, I guess that's preferable to placing the blame where it truly belongs. I think psychologists call this "tranference."

:violin: I could tell that Star Gazer was being overly rude. How dare him. :rolleyes:

I got your "thought police" right here! :cop2: Oh, and you're welcome. :)

Good post STAR GAZER.

GO COWBOYS!!!

14-2 until proven otherwise!

A good psychologist is one who is in desperate need of a good psychologist. Sounds as if you consider yourself a good student of psychology.

Thanks Fletch. BBGun likes to try and misconstrue my thhoughts at every opportunity. He makes it his mission.

You might even say he likes to tell you what you should think.

Wow, that's sadder than that crappy website you run. Are you still sharing incomplete, edited games without warning downloaders ahead of time? Like I said, "rude."

Kinda like ChldsPlay telling what to think about films. Pretty sure you'd balk.
