The Thankful Thread

[ABQCOWBOY]

Tough game yesterday but part of Football.

There will be those that will say that it was a bad call and hey, it did look like a catch to me. There will be those who say that if not for the fumble and that too could be true. It sure looked like a TD if not for the fumble. There will be those that say our D gave up the big 1st at the end of the game and that's true too. They tipped the ball and it dropped into the WR's hands. Heck, probably would have been an over throw if not for the tip. Missed FGs, whatever the case, all of those things may be true or maybe you think they are not, doesn't matter.

What I take away from this season is expectations at the beginning and what the team was actually able to accomplish. I have to say that this was one of the most enjoyable seasons for me I have ever had the privilege to watch. Great, great season out of those guys and I look forward to what the next season brings. Can't wait for Spring Practice. Thank you Dallas Cowboys for a great season!

Could not agree more. This was the most enjoyment I got out of a season since Parcell's first year.

I'm thankful I have bigger things to worry about that put a football game in perspective. Yeah it sucks, but it's not IDF.

Hey Rack, how you been?

Hey Rack, how you been?

Not too bad, man. About to go on R&R.

Well said. It will be hard dealing with the resident vultures who will spend the off season picking on the bones, yet many of these same folks did not give the Cowboys any chance at all. As disappointing as yesterdays game was it should not take away from this season and the future of the Cowboys that looks a lot brighter than it has in a long time. This is a young team who will have a great chance of improving upon this season.

 

[Rack]

How bout you? Hope you didn't let yesterday get to you too much.

 

[CF74]

I'm thankful for 13 wins while rebuilding, amazing if u put it in perspective...

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Not too bad, man. About to go on R&R.

Take full advantage of that and I know you will. ;-)


As for yesterday, hey, I hated the call but you gotta take the good with the bad. I never felt like our Defense was good enough and deep down, I'm pretty sure that if Rogers were healthy, he would have killed us yesterday but next year is another year. We will get better and we'll see what happens.

Be well Rack.

 

[jobberone]

Nice thread. Yes, this was a good year. And I look forward to next year more than usual. Very thankful we put a quality product on the field and played with the best.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Think about where this team started and where they finished and it will put a little smile on your face.

Hope everything gets better and better for you Rack. Good to see you here.

You too, Brother.

Hopefully the offense doesn't drop off and our defense gets a whoooooole lot better next year.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'm thankful that this team far exceeded my expectations and gave us such a great, and exciting, season to watch and cheer for. I'm thankful that we could have finally began to build something that they can build on year to year and keep us as contenders for years.

 

[Rack]

Hope everything gets better and better for you Rack. Good to see you here.

Thanks, Man. Likewise.

Yep. Great season, tough loss. The way our Boys played this year gives me something I haven't had at the end of a season in a looooong time: hope for next year. I hope this group has more of this left in them because I'm not ready to let it go. I wish it was July already.

Thank you Dallas Cowboys!!

I'm thankful for the fun season we had.

I woke up this morning a little refreshed. The catch/no catch stung a little less and everything was back in perspective again. The game is for our entertainment and we were very much entertained and proud this season. No fairy tale ending, but not all good stories have them.

I just legitimately feel bad for the players than I do for myself. That's probably the hardest thing.

Dandy Don said it best: "If if's and but's were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas."

Might have been Sammy Baugh who said "If frogs had wings, their a$$es wouldn't be sore".

Just like Cubbies fans, I say "There's always next year".

It was a good ride, and the ending could have been worse -- we could have been embarrassed and exposed as a pretender.
Instead, we can rest with confidence that we will be back.

It's fun again to be a Cowboy fan.

 

[jazzcat22]

Yes it was a very good, actually great enjoyable year. We exceeded expectations of nearly everyone. And have a foundation and a plan to build upon.
With the right moves with retaining the coaching staff, in FA, as well as the draft. This off season will be in contrast of last year.

We will go in as the favorites to win the NFC East, maybe even picked to get to the NFCCG or even the SB. But that's getting way to far ahead. Just having an off season, of positives instead of negatives will make the 2015 season get here quicker. Well, I hope it does anyway.

Bring on the 17 million mock drafts....

 

[TheCount]

Heck of a ride.

Usually at this point I'm already into thinking about this draft. This year, I'm spending more time remembering the actual season. Some great moments.
