This place is quiet

Yeah. We're all frustrated.

Watching that frustration get directed at each other gets old real fast.

Site traffic is up 20% compared to last year at this time. This always happens after a loss when the next game is 10-14 days away, whether it is the bye week or right after the Thanksgiving game.

The main problem is not just the losses, it's the lack of optimism given the loss of Romo yet again. At least earlier in the season when he got hurt, there was optimism because he would be returning at some point and there was hope he could rescue the season. Even now, if we had Romo, given the state of the NFC East, there would be hope. However, Romo is gone and we have Cassel, who hasn't won a game as the Cowboys quarterback, and even if he wins a game or two over the next few games, not many people believe that he could win out, much less win a playoff game here.

Wait, so this place isn't dying and seconds away from its last breath like other Cowboys forums seem to think?

I'm actually really pleased we've got a game that maters still somehow with only three wins the first eleven weeks of the season. And I'm still hopeful we can win on Monday to keep things more interesting. We're a lot luckier than we deserve in that regard.

There's only so many ways you can say that though without it getting intentionally misinterpreted the way visionary just tried to do above. It's no fun arguing the reality of the standings with a bunch of people who have given up hope. If they want to throw themselves off bridges, and there are enough of them, you're not going to be able to stop the procession. And talking too much about it just leads to a lot of aggressive debates in the threads. That makes for a lot of unpleasantry that isn't much better to read than the funeral dirge stuff.

There's not really a market for hope or for fun relating to football right now. So the best policy is for everybody to post less.

It'll pick up, though, if we win Monday. If we lose, well it's a long stretch between here and free agency.

Get ready for it to pick up, bro.

.. yes, and predicting the demise of CowboysZone for 11+ years now .. and one day, they will be right, or so the optimist in me believes

Truth hurts at times bro.

Oh, and BTW, even the happy fans are at a real loss this season.

Well, at least Eli did not have someone bail his *** out again! lol

It's sad to see this place so dead. Same threads have been stuck on the first page all week.

Peeps headed to draft bunker to break down college film. Gonna be heck of a draft.

There's really not much to look for anymore except for the development of the young players.

Luckily this is one of my favorite things about watching football. I also believe that is how we are going to get over the hump. Several of Wilcox, Hitchens, Escobar, Wilson, Gregory, DLaw, TWill, Street etc need to step up their games and improve if we are going to compete moving forward.

I had to take a break after Thanksgiving. I could understand being down about what happened. I was too, of course. But having to endure "fans" posting "this team sucks" and similar things felt like piling on. Sorry, but that's just how I felt.

Same here.. No need to pile on. We all know the deal.

 

[remdak]

It's tough for me to look forward to any more games when I want the Cowboys to win but know they are better off losing.

This place isn't going anywhere, anytime soon IMO.

Anybody whose a competitor don't want to hear all the negativity. It's about doing your best to win ....with what we have. Supporting the team.

But that's just me.

Is that Mr Clutch, win when in matters the most, KJJ approved E-Lie?

 

[jobberone]

Let's just beat the crap outta the Commanders. That'll create some noise.

Well, Reality would be the one to ask if there was any question about it.

It's great to see.

I usually come through the zone a few times a day during the season... but this season I feel like I'm wasting my time lurking around here. There's nothing to talk about or see. I'm sure other people feel the same way. Kind of want the season to end to be honest.

I can understand this. There are plenty of articles posted here daily if that helps. But it is understandable for all to feel disappointed in this season. It does suck.

 

[jobberone]

My point was, people are saying it becomes tiredsome of people saying this team sucks. What do you expect in the worst year we have had since 1-15? Of course people will be saying that. Because they do.

There is no need to enter every thread with the mantra we suck. If you want to say we suck then add some constructive criticism as to why. Otherwise you're justing trolling, whining, complaining and boring to be blunt. Everyone who is a Dallas Cowboys' fan knows this season sucks. Break it down and you're fine. Otherwise move along.

No, Twitter is for neurotic people
