Yep, it is definitely the cool aid in your case

Put it down

I realize it's a matter of opinion, but McCoy out, Murray in, Foles out, Bradford in, loss of D-Jax and Maclin, spent 2nd and 4th round picks on the QB trade (and rcvd a 5th), and spent a lot of cap $$ to boot...I just don't see how that's improvement. Their team is already at the point of unrecognizable from just this last season, and not for the better, IMO. But you're probably right...it's probably the Kool-Aid.

Murray was more than just a player to Witten, Romo, Garrett, and Dez. He was a very close friend. They didn't want this.

Not like he got traded or cut. As for his ex teammates; they'll get over it. I'm sure they'll still hug and kiss after the games and have play dates in the offseason.

I think players understand this is a business more than a lot around here.

Tell me zone members.... When your friend at works leaves for a better gig or more money... Do you walk around "In a haze?" Or do you congratulate them, let them know how much you'll miss them, promise to stay in touch and get on with your business?

These are adults.

Again fans get more bent out of shape than professionals. By far. It's awkward and embarrassing how some have acted the last 18 hours.

You don't know how the players feel so please don't pretend you do. Football is a game of emotions. Teams with high intensity are usually teams with good chemistry. They play for each other. Letting the identity of the team leave is going to hurt this team. Don't pretend it won't.

Football players aren't the only people with emotions.

Also our most passionate cowboy publicly said goodbye to Murray and wished him well.

Didn't appear to be dazed.

Why so serious?

Sorry if I came across as serious, really wasn't my intent. I thought you disagreed with me (not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm wrong more often than I like to admit) and I was just trying to rationalize my Kool-Aid-induced opinion of the Iggles' backslide. :)
