You know, I didn't have anxiety in the 90's, those guys were so good, I knew they were going to win. I do feel some anxiety this year, don't know if we are ready mentally. I think we can reach the caliber of the 90's teams if we stay healthy and can add a couple of key guys on defense and maybe another quality receiver.
I want it all, and I want it now.
Now you sound like Haley's dog.
I always felt nervous. During that first NFC title game with SF I had to keep changing the channel. I was nervous in the SB until we started blowing the Bills out and then it became a party. lol That last SB with Pittsburgh I was too nervous to really enjoy the game. If I knew that was going to be our last SB I would have enjoyed it more. Haven't had too much anxiety the last 20 years. Just used to something bad happening.
I've been a fan since the early 80's. I was born in '76. Seen a lot of football. Weathered some lean, harsh years and experienced the thrills of more than my fair share of highs as a fan.
I realize we've suffered a LOT of disappointments as Dallas fans the past 20 years. A lot.
BUT-- I feel compelled to speak from my heart for a moment. IMO-- this season represents a key watershed moment for this franchise. A distinct cultural shift has occurred, and this team has "locked in" as professionals in a way that I haven't seen since Troy retired.
They have a fresh, hungry, focussed mentality I haven't seen since the 90's. There is a renewed passion for the game I haven't seen since Irvin was on the sideline. They have found their champions heart again. I just want to pause and acknowledge the new beginning in front of us. Out of the ashes of a 4-12 disaster last year, after hope was lost when Romo was writhing on the field in Seattle this pre-season-- out of 20 years of futility and frustration-- this team has FINALLY been reborn.
This is bigger than just what has happened this season-- they are now set up for success for the next decade. IMO-- we are witnessing the foundations of a championship legacy.
Enjoy it friends.... I'm for sure not the longest tenured fan on this board-- but I am old enough to know that these moments don't come around very often.
I hear you, I was more nervous in the NFC championship games than I was in the SB.
No, I like to share, you guys can have the dogs
Oh yea. I used to get butterflies. Of course I was young back then. It might kill me now. lol
Drown them with a couple of beers.
A couple ??????????????????????????????????
We're not on the beer zone, trying not to sound to trashy on these classy fanzone threads.

Dude you're five years younger than me and you feel middle aged ? I still think like I'm 25.I've been a fan since the early 80's. I was born in '76. Seen a lot of football. Weathered some lean, harsh years and experienced the thrills of more than my fair share of highs as a fan.
