The Negativity Biased Don't Have Crystal Balls

[rambo2]

It will.

The thing is, it's possible. Our fans should be happy. No team has secured the 1 spot yet.

The fact we're still in the mix for it is a testament to this team.

Any other year, we're lucky to get any seeding. Somehow, everyone knows how this team is a failure before the games are played.

Again, mindset. I hope they're ready. I believe they will be. Should be a good game. This team hasn't lost two in a row in a good while. So I at least expect a fight. No dear in the headlights McCarthy. I think we'll see him Swaggering around the sidelines by the 4th quarter. At least that's my hope. We've got speed on this team, too. Pollard, Cooks, Turpin, etc.
It'll be important for us to get those guys involved and open it up, spread the ball around, handoff, pitch, toss, and most importantly motion, motion, motion.

Of course, we need to limit penalties. But we're the Cowboys and the refs just can't help themselves. So, just control what we can control.

The Dolphins haven't really beaten any top teams yet. I think they're a good team. But for me to believe they're better than us, they're going to have to have to do more than they've done.

Well said. I hope the refs are fair with their penalty calls and keep it even, not one sided like last week.

A childish call out thread, and on Christmas Eve. I can't figure out whether it's more sad or more pathetic.

And I don't think I'll ever figure out the extreme obsession w/ other posters. Just don't get it.

 

[Pass2Run]

No one does.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same to you.

More like... Supporting my team on Christmas Eve.

Some see the negative, others see the positive. Some more balanced. It's kind of a choice. Choose to see whatever you want, I guess.

I think maybe it came across a bit differently than you intended.

Apologies, I just grow so weary of all the spatting, and this thread was quite simply going to bring all that out yet again.

The positively biased don't have a crystal ball either.

They don't, but they demand everyone think just like them. Follow them like lemmings walking right off the cliff.

Hey you do you. We just sit back and laugh

Demand?

OK....I wonder which category you fall in.

Is there a category for annoying pain in the butt??

 

[Chasing6]

The positively biased don't have a crystal ball either.

That's why we patiently support our team and wait for the end results.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Wish-thinking...is not thinking at all, it's wishing.

I hope the team doesn't believe they're incapable of winning today.

 

[Praxit]

..stay in your gap, allow for some discipline.
Dallas has the fortitude and players to be anyone.

 

[acr731]

I hope the team doesn't believe they're incapable of winning today.

There's probably more than a few on the roster who don't care either way. It's just a job to them.

 

[Chasing6]

If Martin is out it will be a long day.

It didn't seem like anyone of them cared last week.

 

[RoboQB]

Pollyanna-type fans are the worst.
If you're critical, or even predict a tough matchup, you're immediately
bashed as a hater, negative, etc.

 

[Pass2Run]

If Martin is out it will be a long day.

I believe he is....
No faith in TJ Bass? I think he's a good player.

 

[32BellyOption]

I don’t have a crystal ball but recent history doesn’t lie. That’s why most fans are negative as history repeats itself and fans are pre conditioned to expect the worst with this team.

 

[Established1971]

I see our fans already getting their excuses ready about how the team is already getting their excuses ready. That way, they get to win even if we lose.

How sad. Truly pathetic.

As cliche' as it may sound, the truth is, nobody has a crystal ball: any given Sunday.

Anyway, the fans already predicting a loss are dominated by fear. But fear isn't rational.

Today, we face the so-called fastest team in NFL history.

Can we beat the Fins? I think we can. I'm not going out on a limb and predicting a blow out. But I suspect this team will be dialed in and we'll see a different Cowboys team on the road today.

Is it possible we dominate today like we dominated the Giants at their stadium? It's possible, but it's more likely to be a close game.

I expect a big game from Parsons, DLaw and . . . DaRon Bland. This team is different than last year, whether or not you're stuck in last year.

If the team takes one thing into this game, I'd like it to be "mindset is everything."

It doesn't matter where you play. It really comes down to mindset. You can't make yourself faster than Tyreek Hill, although Parsons did beat him in a race. We don't have any control over how fast Devon Achane is. But we can go into the game with the mindset that we're going to stay focused and stop him.

We need to be ready to adjust, adapt, and come out with the mindset that we. will. win. this. game.

That is all. Merry Christmas Eve.

very classy calling your fellow fans and forum members sad and pathetic, but its ok you said Merry Christmas at the end
