My two cents...

Question: Why are people so worried about what other people are thinking?

If you don't like someone blaming someone else, don't listen to them.

Secondly, who are you to say A. is more of a fan than B. if you don't actually know that person? You don't, yet you just said you did.

This is like complaining about complainers. You become part of the problem by complaining.

Gooood question. Short answer: it's a way for them to burnish their homer credentials by looking down their noses at the "hoi polloi" crowd. The "realists" and the media have no effect on what transpires on the field or in the front office, yet they take the lion's share of abuse around here. Bizarre.

Sounds like its a bunch of excuses for a team that looks really bad, this team doesn't look the same since the beat the Saints and won the playoff game.
Just imagine if Shanahan would have been hired when the chance was there.
The Cowboys have the worst coaching staff in the division w/ no argument.

These are placed around the fans neck like a dead albatross, enjoy the smell.

Jerry Jones controlls the Draft.

Jerry Jones is the undisputed leader of this team.

Jerry Jones signs all of the pay checks.

Jerry Jones makes all of the Coaching hires.

Jerry Jones greatest accomplishment is his new stadium.

Jerry Jones has the final say on all of the player personel decisions.

Jerry Jones is the face of this franchise.



The truth is that when Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys make a real commitment to delivering for the fans the Cowboys will have sane chain of command.

You're barking mad, but it wouldn't even be interesting debating you.

Newsflash. This has been a good team in recent years. Also a newsflash, the Dallas media is a largely negative bunch. Fans piling on a team and threatening to jump ship after every season loss is a dramatic overreaction to something that happens regularly to every team in the NFL.

As has been demonstrated by every team, in every season this side of 1972, the NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. Complaining at the runners coming out of the startering blocks accomplishes nothing, and it's really, really annoying. There's nothing bizarre about why the well-deserved abuse is piled. You can reserve your right to dramatic overreaction, but you've got no grounds for complaining when people don't like it.

No one debates that.

When the team gives them good reason to be. Crazy, no? I just took a look at DMN's site. Verrry positive reporting all around. I wonder why that is?

Fans rightly piled on the team the last two weeks because they had it coming. Please point out the "dramatic overreactions" to today's victory. I'm sure you can unearth one or two.

The hell you say. Then no one should overreact to early-season victories either, right? Right.

My posts are like catnip to you, aren't they? Sad. If your point is that the "realists" are compromising your enjoyment of this season or this forum, then prepare to be laughed at for being such a wimp.
