Root for better pick without rooting against the Cowboys

[xwalker]

We can cheer for other teams to win without cheering for the Cowboys to lose.

You might or might not want to cheer for the NFCE teams to win but we can all cheer for the Jets, Jags, Texans, etc..

It's not just cheering for the Cowboys to get a top 2 pick.

There are multiple 2 and 3 win teams that could come into play if the Cowboys win more games.

This weeks games. Teams with 3 or less wins in Red.

I've never seen a connection between who I cheer for from my living room and the results on the field. Root for/against whatever you like/dislike.

 

[ultron]

It’s going to be hard for the Cowboys to not win more games, the schedule is pretty easy and the defense is actually starting to play defense. There’s just too much talent on this team to be 2-14 or 3-13

Bingo.

It’s not surprising that some here actually think they influence outcomes with their emotions and feelings.

I can live with that.

No one believes who or what the root for has any influence on the outcome. What some believe in, including myself, is that rooting for your team to lose for any reason shows a lack of character. It’s a loser mentality. You quit. And every time you quit, it gets easier and easier for you.

Wow....why would you put that pic of Dak as your sig? I know you don't like him, but that's not cool. However, now that I take a second look, I love the passion he is showing. Thanks for sharing.

Or you guys can cheer for whatever or whomever you want, it's not like it's going to make a difference in any game played. You will only upset a few fans prompting them to tell you what you should be doing with your fandom

Valid point...unless you're rubbing your lucky rabbit's foot.

If it really worked that way smoking meteors from space would have wiped out civilization long ago.

 

[RamziD]

Cool. Still hoping they lose every game the rest of the season.

This. All of this. The offense will put up points when dalton returns but the d will have probably 5 new starters next year. I dont worry about loser hangover. There was no loser hangover from 15-2016

 

[jaythecowboy]

Either way you're rooting for the Cowboys to lose if you're thinking about the draft pick. If the Cowboys win the division they automatically get the 19th pick.

I believe that bad karma from too many moronic fans has been the reason the Cowboys have not had more success the past 2 decades.

Back during the Nineties Super Bowl years the Cowboys clearly had better fans than the Eagles.

Then after the 3 Super Bowl wins in 4 years a huge number of morons became Cowboys fans.

Now as a whole, Cowboys fans and Eagles fan are basically the same.

The Cowboys have to be bad long enough for the morons to fade away before the karma will become positive for the Cowboys.

I just can't even believe you seriously believe this. I just can't. I can't.

 

[Jipper]

We could literally win next week and be a half game out of 1st place in the nfce....that’s kinda nuts

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I hope they win out.

Yep. Story of our life. Too much talent.

And some people believe, myself included, that there's a bigger picture at play than simply rooting for a win every Sunday like a mindless puppet. That sometimes its necessary to take a step back in order to take two forward. I'd rather be a smart fan than a loyal (dumb) one.

But ultimately I don't have to offer an explanation to any of you for my rooting interests in any game.
