That is irrelevant to the point.

If someone posts something positive here people disagree with it and jump on that person. Is that censorship?

The gate swings both ways. It's a forum for crying out loud. If you don't like being disagreed with why are you here?

Okay. Maybe poor word choice. How about ganged up on and shouted down? That better?
But the Sunshine Crowd never get ganged up on and shouted down right?

You sticking with that?

Exactly man. If you think every response is going to be a pat on the back then you are the poster child of the Sunshine Crowd.

Not as often as the other way around. I am sticking with that. And I don't care if people disagree with me. That's why I joined this forum.

I just made this as a place to vent, so other threads wouldn't be as cluttered. Didn't mean to offend so much people with a thread to discuss negatives :rolleyes: but oh well.

Then you are wrong.
Either way it would probably be hard and time consuming for one of us to prove they are right:) , so I guess we'll just have to disagree.

I'm not offended. Just like you haven't been censored.

I don't understand what you find so remarkable about the ganged up on phenomenon. It happens for every team on virtually every forum. Go to a Raiders forum and insult the team, watch the fans jump on you. Even a Commanders forum where their fans are seriously upset. Try a college football team.

It isn't some amazing aberration that only happens here. Fan is short for fanatic. That means fiercely loyal and defensive are quite likely. You could be speaking the 100% truth and someone will not like it.

Judas Priest, I wish the self proclaimed realists would live in the real world.

I completely agree with you. That's why when I made this thread I stated what was going to be in it, so the topics being discussed wouldn't be buried in personal insults and arguing over unimportant things.

That worked out well, huh? :laugh2:

It's cool though. We're all Cowboys fans.

This is a thread for venting about anything and everything Cowboys. This thread is not for the faint at heart. If reading negative posts about the Cowboys upsets you, this is not the place for you.

The purpose of this thread is to keep us people that are considered "pessimists" to air our grievances in mainly this thread so the board doesn't get "cluttered" with our "whining."





To start off, I'm annoyed with Roy Williams. He doesn't produce at all. And he has in the past and that is what is so frustrating. That and what we gave up for him. People say,"Oh, well Romo just makes bad passes to him." Forget that. He hits everyone else on target, but he can't hit Roy. Roy runs horrible routes and is always in the wrong spot.

I'm not a pro QB by any means, but in the past when throwing to my two friends one ran good precise routes (I always hit him on target), and the other one would always be able to get open, but he was never where I expected him and I could never hit him on target. That is what Roy Williams is like.

Also, what is the deal with our end of half defense. They play well except for at the beginning of the game, and the drives to end the halves. Every time I know the opposing offense is going to move the ball at will against them in those circumstances.

For the most part I'm happy about this team, but I just needed somewhere I could vent without being told to turn in my "fan card."

I really like this idea. Keep all the whiners corralled in one post. Hope it works.

I'm thrilled we're 5-2 and that we're in position to get to 6-2 and a division lead. With that in mind I can nitpick a few things I'd like to see work out better for us so I'll do that.

#1: I want to see Tony and Roy start to get their chemistry going and start making plays. It's one of the very few things in the offense that I'd really love to see really pick it up better.

#2: I want to see a bit more Felix Jones in the passing attack. Some extra dump offs, screens, and some plays where we get him out there on a linebacker or safety and try and take advantage of those match ups.

#3: Continue to decrease penalties and mental errors.

True I have been ganged on before. I feel so cheap afterwards but keep coming back for more. :laugh2:

Is the point to be whining?? I think we got it.
I think the thread title and opening post made that pretty clear. Sorry I don't think everything is 100% right with the Cowboys right now.
