There's something about this year. The cumulation of "things" or lack of a better word.

This really feels like we are there. Just kick the door in and take it!

I think it's our time, everything is just different. I really think 50 is ours.

Thinking that we are winning it seems more real than thinking we might not win it.


With that said, I will be out of my mind if we don't win it. It's so real... Already!

I hope you're right. In the 20 years of my Cowboys fandom, I've always just felt like the Super Bowl is this unattainable fantasy that only "good" teams can get to. I guess I never felt like we were one of those teams. To be one of those teams now, to me it just doesn't feel real yet. I guess because I don't even know what it feels like. This "winning" thing is kind of new to me, lol. All I do know is that things do feel differently the last few seasons, a feeling that I've never experienced before. So I hope that's a sign of great things to come.

Did they just legalize the hippy lettuce in NY? Put the lighter down and back away from your newly purchased bong.



:p

There are other team fan bases with the same feeling.

I agree with you to a point. Yes, every team's fans feel a sense of optimism and hope. But there's a difference between realistic hope based on facts and pollyannic hope based on just unrealistic expectations.

For example, even though I had "hopes" the Cowboys would push for a playoff spot. I, realistically, didn't think we had the chance in those 8-8 season because I didn't believe we had the discipline, the coaching and the running game to beat better teams.

But I have a better feeling this year based on the realization ...

a.) We've gotten better on defense with the addition of Hardy (a proven pass rusher), a young DeMarcus Lawrence (who was coming on late last year), a projected pass rushing demon in Randy Gregory and an athletic and smart corner/safety in Byron Jones. Then we get Lee back playing at a position that may prevent him from reinjuring himself and crazy-Ro who, if his head on straight, is one of the best middle linebackers in the game.

b.) We'll be in year 2 of Marinelli's defense, which means we should be even better than we were with a bunch of no-names

c.) Then you add La 'el Collins on this stalwart offensive line, a happy and well-paid Dez Bryant who is back to avenge the "No Catch" and a Tony Romo who is healthier and more focused than ever ...

There's reason for hope that's not of the pie-in-the-sky variety.

Just saying ... :)

Agree.. It has to be.

I think 2 things are key.

1. Actually improving the pass rush.. The players are their so hopefully the production comes with it.

2. We need to play at home in the playoffs.

I don't want to go to Green Bay or Seattle again in January.

You hit the nail on the head... this is exactly what it's been like to be a Cowboys fan since their last Super Bowl. I guess there was a season or two in there where we did feel somewhat invincible for a time ('07, '09 maybe), but it wasn't quite the same feeling as right now.

That's just gas. Take a couple of Cowboyszone Debbie Downers and see your doctor in the morning.;)

Here's hoping your feeling is the only feeling that counts. :thumbup:

While this would be awesome in theory, haven't we performed better on the road than at home lately (8 road wins - undefeated - last season, 4 home wins)? Maybe it's just my perception, but I feel like we don't play as hard at home.

I feel like we smack up Green Bay pretty hard in Dallas last year.

So many times in that game we could've ran off with it.

You mean 2013 right? I was hoping to forget about that game, lol :(

But yeah, we did play awesome, for one half at least.
