Reality is your friend! Blind homerism is not!

Enjoying the moment? You sound pretty miserable to me! If you are as confident as you say you are, then a thread like this shouldn't bother you.

You can think your car is the most beautiful car ever, but if someone walks by and says it sucks, you're not going to like it.

screw that.
GO☆COWBOYS!

Shout out to those Cowboys fans who didn't cave in to the homer mob who spent all week browbeating other Cowboys fans who are willing to admit that the 49ers are probably the better overall team and should be favored to win. And these fans are not Debbie Downers. They realize that on any given Sunday, any team can beat any other team. They just simply acknowledge that over the course of the season, the 49ers have been consistently more dominant and haven't had phases of playing down to inferior teams, penalties and turnovers like the Cowboys have. It wasn't 49ers fans calling for their head coach and starting QB to be kicked to the curb just 2 weeks ago like Cowboys fans were after the Washington loss.

So long story short...you can be a Cowboys fan and acknowledge reality at the same time. You don't have to be one these delusional idiots who are being completely fake about their confidence in the Cowboys winning today. You know, the ones who keep bringing up the 1992 NFC Championship, keeping shouting empty words about fate and destiny. These are not true fans. They are really cowards when it comes down to it.

I expect the mob to show up here and spout their hatred. But I'll be busy watching the game and will cheer/scream/celebrate every bit as hard if the Cowboys are winning today.

Reality is my friend
I really appreciate his hard work keeping this forum up and running.
He probably feels we are all his friends too!

I don't really mind those people that want to see the bright side of each game. It's the people that come in the second the game is over talking about eating crow and "I'm sure glad I was wrong" wanting in on the victory supper after spending all week telling everyone to be realistic. At some point, you gotta put chips on the table and you in or ya out!

This is very well said.

People talk about how terrible and dysfunctional the Cowboys are, and then when they win, it is just “where’s my crow?” They had free reign all week to dog Dallas and then get out of jail free by saying “I’m glad I was wrong.”

If these people would learn from this, I’d have no problem with it… but they’re right back dogging the team the next week, like their negative opinion couldn’t possibly be wrong.

Just the thread we needed before the big game, and ego driven guy who wants everybody to know he is "rational" and the rest of us not.

Thanks.

Those are the haters, like the ones that will blame Zeke or Tank or MM, etc. The Homer's will be positive that we won a playoff game and will be excited about next year. What a day to start a stupid thread like this. Why can't some people just enjoy the moment.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

Not true fans but cowards? Poor choice of words for those with differing opinions than yours and if you've really read my threads or posts, and I assume you have, I never said the Cowboys are the better team, just the opposite.

If the better team won all the time, we wouldn't have any given Sunday and probably not much of an audience. It is the team that plays the best......in that one game.

I think the Cowboys are going to outplay the Niners today because of the additional motivation of how the last game ended. The Cowboys are looking for redemption and revenge and they have a team close enough in talent to pull that off.

Maybe you wouldn't be expecting some to spout their hatred if you hadn't made that blanket statement about them being cowards?

Reality denotes logic and rationale and that doesn't mix very well with being a fan of a sports team. Being a fan is all about emotion for some and can be an escape from reality. I find reality overrated.

Bet the 9ers would be happy to know they don’t play down to inferior competition what with their multiple losses to teams with picks in the top 5

Seemingly, so-called "debbie downers" and "cowards" have many unresolved differences between them.

I propose a steel cage death match to settle things once and for all.

Woohoo! I just came back from the gym too!

So lets have a non homer discussion.

So why anyone thinks they are so great is beyond me. They might end up being really good, but up to this point, I cant say that.

Because they match up with our possible weaknesses.

 

[Whirlwin]

Ever hear of being an individual.

Making up your own mind. Not following the crowd.

Every day is a new day, get used to it

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

That makes them great?

[CowboyoWales]

That makes them great?

No, but it makes it more difficult to get the W.

Welp, this makes me out........
