Philly Fans (re: McNabb) Are What Dallas Fans Used to Be...

Bottom line Romo gives us a chance that we have not had since Troy Aikman was the QB. I don't know if Romo and the Cowboys will achive the goal or not but I know he gives us the chance. Until last season Drew Brees never won a SB but gave his team a chance. Since taking over as starting QB Romo numbers rank with the top guys out there

In my opinion (and you are certainly welcome to disagree) I feel that there is. I never remember growing up and hearing Dallas was satisfied with going in the right direction. That seems to be the case now. Look back at the posts during the playoff run and you will see a sense of contentment that I never thought would be acceptable here. We can sugar coat it by saying we are making progress, but there aren't any rings for that. It used to be Super Bowl or bust. Now it's hey, "we're taking steps in the right direction."

Maybe I should just be thankful we aren't counting playoff byes as wins anymore though huh?

Well to be honest growing up you never heard anything, at least not like today where you can access everyone's opinion. What we 'heard' back then was a lot more controlled then now. I'm sure your sphere of influence was a lot smaller then.

I still think Super Bowls the goal but as an organization you have to be doing the right things to give yourself a chance. I don't think we were for a number of years. I think we are now. I am not satisfied with a playoff win, I want more, I want a SB. But I won't belittle the progress this organization has made either.

And if the 'Boys win a superbowl you'll probably find something else to complain about. Of course the Lombardi trophy is the ultimate goal but no team wins it every year. Few teams win it a year after going 5-11. There is a process and that process includes building a solid organization.

Nope. If we won a Super Bowl I would not complain.


Process is not the issue. The issue is being okay with saying that we are making progress. How about this: last year was a step in the right direction, BUT IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Where is that fire that used to be in Dallas fans. Maybe $45 pizzas took it out of us.

THAT is the goal every year (at least it used to be). Division Championships, Conference Championships...those were nothing. The big one is what counted. Just like it does in Pittsburgh and New England. Does it still matter here?

Okay, I am looking at the title again because I desperately trying to find a point here.

"Philly fans (meaning now since he mentions McNabb's release) are what Dallas fans used to be."

Since this is about the Super Bowl I can only imagine he means before the Cowboys won a Super Bowl. At one time in 1965 the Cowboys fans were extremely dissatisfied with the performance. They wanted Tom Landry gone in the worst way.

Clint Murchison gave him a 10 year extension.

The Cowboys promptly went a 20 year winning season streak, went to 5 Super Bowls and won 2.

I still don't see a correlation to the Eagles dumping McNabb, why we should dump someone because we aren't satisfied, or any point to this topic at all.

 

[Quarterback Coach]

you trying to convince me or yourself.

So, what you are really saying is that in 20 years, the Cowboys only had two successful seasons.

HACK!

Your act is old. None of us are satisfied. But we also realize we can't win every year, and are going to enjoy the years that we don't, its the only way to get enjoyment out of your team.

And please tell us what you would do differently this off season? You avoided all of those quesitons in your previous stupid thread. No team will ever be perfect, thats why football is the sport it is.

Do you want some cheese with that whine?

You are obviously an inferior fan.

Expectations is the key to my opinion.

Winning every year absolutely not going to happen. But seeing this sense of "right direction" stuff is crap.

How about a little sense of urgency to get things done? How long will this "window" last?

You can disagree, but the fact is there is part of my post that you truly know is correct regarding the fan perception of this team.

You mean like dumping Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones, Greg Ellis, Brad Johnson, and Tank Johnson so that chemistry could reign in the locker room?

You mean like signing Gerald Sensabaugh and dropping Roy Williams to get better secondary coverage?

You mean like signing a locker room leader like Keith Brooking?

You mean like allowing Canty to leave and getting a guy who buys into Wade's system like Igor Olshansky?

You mean like waiving a multi-time Pro Bowl LT who is near the end of his career so they can move forward with youth?

You mean like preparing for an upcoming draft by having in as many guys who fill the needs on the team so we can evaluate them>


I do not see where you think we are sitting on our hands while Philly is thinking more progressively. I just don't see it.

 

[theebs]

Its like.

the guy started out making no sense, then somehow was asked what he is trying to say and his response made even less sense.

and now a few posts later its worse.

honestly, I read everything the guy said twice and I dont even get a hint of anything logical.

No, no, no. I'm not sayiong we should "dump" anyone yet. The "dumping"" (laugh it up) needs to be this attitude of it's okay...we are making progress.

The correlation is one of the reasons (if not the main one) to letting mcnabb go was not being able to take it to the next level. eagles fans (don't make me keep defedning these guys please) were routinely frustrated with that. 10 win, 11 win seasons and no rings was not good enough.

THAT mentality was what we once had around here. Maybe even in 65 per your post. 10 years before I was around so I can't comment on that.

Now it seems to be a division title and a playoff win is okay...we'll get 'em next year!!! when did that happen?

 

[cowboyeric8]

You are obviously an inferior fan.

Haha, apparently

Let the fun begin...


Alright...go ahead and take your shots at me, but before you do so I would ask you to look...REALLY LOOK...at yourselves inside...

What do I mean by this, easy...

When did we become "happy" with just making the playoffs and winning one game? When did winning games in December become our "goal?"

Think about it? Say what you want but this team is not 100% perfect and for those of you to bash people who want moves to be made makes me wonder what happened to the feeling that we want championships in this town?

That's it. Blast me if you want, but how many of you were happy with last year? I certainly wasn't. As I've said before...If you are keep wearing your "we got five" rings t-shirt around and watch Pittsburgh fans laugh in your face.

God knows I hate giving Philly ANY credit. Hell, the last thing of any value to ever come out of that city happened in 1776. But, at least they were not "happy" with just making the playoffs and winning a few games. They wanted rings!!! (Glad they didn't get any, but that is something entirely different). They ran a QB out of town that lead them to 5 championship games. Sadly I think that today's Cowboy fans, in that big nice stadium of ours, would think that's just fine...

Damn how I long for the days when Super Bowls only mattered...

So go ahead and blast me, but like I said. Look around at our house first.

Great post I love it the fans live in the past way too much and love the fact that we've won the division 2 out of the last 3 years. We need more fans like you man.

So, what you are really saying is that in 20 years, the Cowboys only had two successful seasons.

two season in which the ultimate goal was met. if you don't like my mentality that's okay. but ask yourself this. if the ring isn't that big a deal why do we have the playoffs?
