I don’t know where you are getting your data and opinions from but mine comes mostly from our local newspapers and beat writers .

And most called last weeks big win a signature win. One that definitely propelled the Cowboys to a more serious contender . I also echoed on this site .

After this loss the mood has changed . Our losses on the road to arguably the best 3 teams we’ve played this season calls into question the mentality of this team on the road along with how much our blowout wins at home against lesser teams might inflate how good this team is. All are valid points.

But I think our road woes bring into question what the effects and impacts could be in the playoffs as a WC team. Again , valid concerns.
I'm talking about this site...

And yet like morons y'all are still here lol......what's the point? If you know what's going to happen this year why are y'all here? Why do y'all waste your time? It just makes no damn sense.
Diehard fans follow their team regardless whether they think can win or not. It’s bandwagon fans who jump off when losing . And hop back on when winning.

There are still Diehard fans around the league rooting for their teams with little hope for a SB.

When a franchise goes decades without more success apathy sets in. They become cynical and negative. Actually very common mentality.

Yeah I just don't think "die hards" are pessimistic and actively root for their team to lose.

Thinking or expecting your team to lose isn’t the same as rooting for them to lose. Do they get satisfaction in being right. Perhaps.

I’ve been following the Cowboys over 60 years. Haven’t missed a game since at least 1964. And I’ve been pretty pessimistic this era. I retain a glimmer of hope.

I see the usual people saying relax we will be back. I do not see it that way. When you get beat early in the season the way the boys got beat today. Yes you can comeback. Your still establishing your identity. By this time I’m the season. You are who you are. Soft in the middle. The safeties are sub par, have been ever since Roy Williams. Talk about your running backs, talk about you MaZi’s another Wolverine bust. This team needs to draft an elite safety in round 1. This team was demolished. They got hit in the mouth and walked off the fields looking like chumps.
Yes, indeed, but other games we have dominated. I canna forget tha, no matter how Sunday's game disappointed me.

I was encouraged by our big win last week. Finally we got a sig win against a top notch contender . And in blowout fashion!

But the fact we have stumbled on the road especially to the better teams we’ve faced is a major concern . One we really don’t have an answer to yet.

Maybe we just had an easier home schedule this year . If so then as impressive as our blow out wins are these road losses are just as unimpressive.

It brings more questions than answers at this time . Which is naturally a concern.

I’d like to think we could be a tough out anywhere but this season certainly hasn’t supported that overall against contenders thus far.

The Cowboys will be underdogs at San Francisco no matter if they had beaten Buffalo or not. Relax and enjoy the season. We made the playoffs for the third straight season. If all you are is looking forward to a divisional playoff loss, I can’t do anything for you. We can beat anybody but it is going to be tough. Enjoy the ride.
Blimey. All those words and not a coherent statement.

Harsh. But true.
On Sunday the Cowboys were the Texas Longhorns of softness.

everyone is desperate for a take lol. this was a bad game for dallas. from losing hankins, to zack going out, to the flu making its rounds, and the bills calling an unexpectedly brilliant game. you could absolutely be right, and history is definitely on your side, but i think this team has more heart than that. i’m expecting a major bounce back against mismi

Well that's exactly what it is. Satisfaction in being right. I can't respect it.

Of course I have. I take no satisfaction in it though. I want to be proven wrong.
Right. And I think most of these fans would prefer winning proving them wrong.

But do they get some satisfaction with being right. Sure. That’s still not the same as rooting against us.

Anything is possible on an anonymous site as such. I’m sure there are some opposing fans here.

Probably more apathetic and pessimistic fans .

I’ve been a Baylor fan all of my life too. We suked most of the time in football. I usually think we are going to lose.

The lack of success this era breeds attitudes we didnt have our first 4 decades. I’ve been around other fans when I used to travel to games. Fans like in Clev and Detroit are very much like this. Diehards with little hope . Saint fans used to be that way. They wore bags over their heads for 40 years . Lol

We will be back for at least 4 more weeks.
