Actually, HH31, you should amend your bet.
If the Cowboys lose, you will leave the forum for a month after two days of enduring fans "I told you we sucked."
I always thought it was cowardly to predict a win and then guarantee it by banning one's self if proven wrong. That means you won't be around to respond to the negative criticism sure to come your way if the Cowboys lose.
As for this debate about "true" fans, since when did criticizing one's team and believing they'll lose mean one is not a true fan?
It simply means one's an "honest" fan.
Once is luck. (Brees)
Twice is coincidence. (Vick)
Thrice is a pattern. (Garcia)
Four times is something's seriously wrong. (Kitna)
I, like most if not all Cowboys fans, hope Dallas wins next week against Seattle.
But I'm prepared for disappointment because the way Dallas has been exposed, you just can't fix that in one week. Other teams have figured out the Cowboys.
And Hasselbeck is a far better quarterback than Garcia and Kitna.
