SAS on First Take

[Bleu Star]

When you are feeling the most enthusiastic about them, they will break your heart.

I know he's a classic blowhard Dallas hater but this one comment struck me today.

Agree or disagree?

That has been the pattern. But new patterns can emerge to replace old patterns.
So I'm hoping this is a new pattern.
I can't get mad at SAS. The truth hurts sometimes. But that doesn't mean that truth can't be replaced by a new truth.
That's how I look at it.
I'm a hopeful fan. Even though I know dysfunction lies at the heart of the Cowboys organization, sometimes organizations, just like families, can rise above the existing dysfunction. It's going to be hard, but it can happen.
That's what I'm hoping for here.

I'm right there with you bud. My heart is squarely in it and I see signs that could translate into a real shot at a playoff chances this year.

Agreed. I have seen this motion picture before. Fast forward to the matchup with Philly already.

That match up isn't even going to matter if we take care of business before them. Though, we all know how we take care of our business ...

Agree. He's a total blowhard.

exactly why we shouldn't start drinking the kool-aid yet.

I'm encouraged with the way romo and the offense has pulled it together the past 2 weeks. A balanced attack gives this team the best chance to win.

hopefully getting Mo and Lee back on Defense will prove perfect timing.

Even though the score doesn't indicate it, yesterdays win was very impressive. Combine that with the win at the meadowlands, and it's hard not to get excited.

Agree. He's a total blowhard.

Lol. I see what you did there.

 

[tyke1doe]

Agree. He's a total blowhard.

LOL!

I like to tweet SAS stats about Romo a lot. Apparently my efforts have been in vain up to this point

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Of course it's true. Teams that live in mediocrity do just enough to give you hope. They key is to not drink the cool aid! Some drink it by the gallon.

 

[pupulehaole]

I hate SaS but hes right.

Gulp, gulp!

I was thinking that....

Makes sense. It's actually not all that profound, no offense intended to the OP.

If you're feeling enthusiastic about an average or good team you're going to have your heart broken if they don't win the superbowl-- so this actually happens to a lot of fans.

Can't have your heart broken by a team you have no expectations for.

He's not right. He's a well known Dallas Cowboy and Tony Romo hater and New York Giants fan that uses his platform on ESPN to spew his ignorant opinions out at the masses. I watched the clip of what he said about Dallas and Romo today and its just ridiculous. Do we all really think that just because this social construct that we call a calendar ticks into the month of December that suddenly the football gods reach down from the heavens and afflict Tony Romo with some unclutch curse that dooms all our hopes and dreams? To say this and ignore the fact that teams such as last year's Cowboys lost in December because we had massive injuries on both sides of the ball is to ignore the facts. And these win and in games that people like to harp on Dallas about, people don't give any credence to the fact that every one of those games, except the one that we won against Philly, were played on the road. Fact is, friends, the actions and failures of past Dallas Cowboys teams will have zero bearing on this year's team. Stats from past seasons means absolutely nothing as a predictor of future success. Maybe we get it done this year, maybe we don't but what I do know is that if we do fail it will be because of the unique factors that govern this season and not some silly idea that the month of December is waiting around the corner to give us a kick in the groin.

Really what do you expect anyone to believe about this up and down team? IMO most in the media along with many former players actually want the Cowboys to win. All of them and including us get so tired of the up and down. The huge difference as fans we have an emotional vested interest in them so we stick it out.

 

[zrinkill]

He was talking about Troy Aikman

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He is right though. For me anyway. I always say I won't get drawn back in and I do and when I do I always get hurt lol. Its sports. I get it. I don't complain about it. I've been suckered in again because I believe that we can not only get into the post season but shock a few teams possibly.
