If that works for you but i don’t think it is the only right way to think. For me, i enjoy the ups and downs. You can only know happiness by experiencing sorrow. That for me makes me feel alive. I greatly enjoy the victories because the losses hurt so much.

I never said it was the only right way to think. Just that I'd rather have my emotions too tied to the ups and downs of something I can't control.

I have too much going on in my personal life to feel that depth of pain for something I simply view as entertainment in the grand scheme of things.

To put this in perspective, I absolutely hate it when the 'boys lose. I avoid most sports shows throughout the week. I almost feel like my punishment sometimes is coming on this board to read other fans sorrow after a loss.

But by no means, do I feel the level of agony that some of you feel...and nor do I want to.

There has been growth and there has been 2 steps forward one step back because Jerry always changes his strategy. After the dead money era of the early 2000's he hires Parcells to instill some discipline and help reclaim America's Team. During this time, they had some good drafts and Jerry takes back seat, except he brings in T.O. who as talented as he was, is a locker room divider. Then he decides he wants back in limelight and Parcells wears out his welcome and vice versa. So he goes and hires a coach he has better control of. They have some immediate success as the iron fist had been lifted, albiet too much as we saw last year. We also became Boys Town of NFL. Any publicity even bad is good in Jerry's eyes. Then Jerry realizes again, I must make a change and cleans up his own mess. I give him credit for changing but sometimes it feels like ill throw it against the wall and see if it sticks. He still said recently that chemistry is overrated or something similar and as we see this year, it is not.

The occasional free agent splash ala T.O. didn't stop the overall growth of this team though. There's been a couple of weak drafts, but again, the core of this team has steadily risen.

This is not the Cincinnati Bengals. Call us spoiled fans, but we expect playoffs and all the evolving and progress is nothing w/o a dedicated strategy that produces playoff success. I didnt intend for this to be a Jerry post, but as much as he has helped the team progress, he has helped it regress at times. The sliver-lining now, could be the influence of Steven and the maturation of the core players. I like their attitude this year, which we have not seen in a long time. End the December swoons, make some playoff noise and I'll say there is progress made.

I do think there's a certain spoiled mentality there. If this team had had recent playoff success, it would make sense. One shouldn't be holding onto decades old playoff success when there hasn't been any.

And maybe you don't see the strategy and it took a four game winning streak to do it, but the strategy's been in place the day Ciskowski changed the way the Cowboys draft board looked. Fluke plays and untimely drops doesn't change the fact that there is a strategy in place and has been since before Parcells.

The draft strategy is one thing. There are many parts of a strategy. Chemistry, coaching, character, (you speak of) to name a few. Where was the character last year? Pac Man Jones - worst signing in Dallas history. DO you think Mike Jenkins is who he is if Pac-Man and his influential work ethic is here? No friggin way.The OVERALL strategy has been inconsistent, thus regressing the Boys at times. You cant buy the best talent thinking it will just work. That is part of the strategy too. Maybe it has taken 13 years for Jerry to realize it.

We are spoiled, no doubt. If there was no history like there was, Hostile is not posting 75000 times or writing a book, this board does not have as many members nor may even exist (at least not in this form). If we were a historically losing franchise, there would not be half as many Cowboys fans period. So history does matter and many of us are impatient because of what we had which helps also explain Jerry's behavior at times. Trust me, if the Cowboys had the Saints history, we would not be having this discussion.

Someone help me figure this one out because there's a hypocritical chest thumping contingent suddenly making noise. Should I be celebration 11-5, 12-4, or 13-3 right now? Should I be celebrating that masterful sixth Super Bowl win at this very moment? Some perspective please soap boxers...lol

More so in my opinion because they are extremely negative about something they suppose to like.

The definition of real...

re·al 1 (rl, rl)
adj.
1.
a. Being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verifiable existence: real objects; a real illness.
b. True and actual; not imaginary, alleged, or ideal: real people, not ghosts; a film based on real life.
c. Of or founded on practical matters and concerns: a recent graduate experiencing the real world for the first time.

I'll let you figure the rest out.

Whether I referred to them as realists, moderates, middle of the roaders, etc etc... The bottom line is that they aren't looking at this from a ideal point of view. They're going with what they see at that very moment. It's funny how some complain so much of others on a freaking message board... really... :laugh2: With as much crap as I have taken from many others over the years, you don't see me complaining one bit. Aren't we supposed to welcome an opposing point of view by a fellow fan? I'm pretty sure that's a huge part of what comprises a strong message board.

As I have said before... yes. Some of us can and do take it to the ridiculous extremes. I tend to just steer clear of those threads mostly. That said, the opposite end of the spectrum is proclaiming victory after 8 weeks.

How many of us are in that yellow car after 8 weeks? Hmmm. Let's peruse the board a bit. Thread titles not so much... Once you get into the meat of some of the threads the over inflation is off the chain. That's all good though. I just offer perspective when I see it. If it weren't for some of you attempting to cast those with a moderate point of view by the wayside, I wouldn't have even brought it up.

You can save the webster BS. People writing this team off after week 4 please realist? give me a break try drama queens who freak out as soon as they hit a bump in the road. As soon as this team loses a game the so called realist spend the entire week talking about how we need to fire all these coaches and how this season is done. Realist ?not even close. 16 games in the NFL genious instead of letting it play out the sky is falling fans who think they are realist are nothing but a bunch of whinny nancy boys. As far as being open to different points of view you are the one starting this off with to my fellow realist.

 

[Monster Heel]

Not just yet.

The Cowboys are the hunted now. Like it or not, people had written off the Dallas Cowboys prior to this season and early in this season. Sure, they got the "they are the Dallas Cowboys" treatment, but now they are looked as one of the best teams in the league again. And of course what comes with that is hype. I don't know if the team can maintain that same edge now that they are the fat kid on the mountain looking down at everyone again. We've seen this song and dance from this group of Cowboys before. I don't expect them to win every game, but I'll be worried when I see this team tail off and the intensity level drops.

Fans writing off the team early on are not much of a fan to begin with. I don't know what this team will do over the course of the next 8 games but this is not the same team there have been additions to help this team there have been players let go because they were problems for this team. You have seen a song and dance? not from this team, it is not the same. Senabaugh has helped bring some stability in the secondary he was not here last season. Henry gone and Jenkins and Scandrick role increased it is different than last season. Attention paid to upgrading the special team starting with hiring of DeCamillis much different than what we have seen in years from special team. This is not the same team

 

[TellerMorrow34]

You know.... I started this thread to share my current opinion on the state of the team we all know and love. I couldn't care less what some previously offended rose colored shade wearing fan thinks. I support the Cowboys the way I prefer to support them. That is from a moderate middle of the road point of view. I will occasionally call a player out and I may embrace another player and the very same moment. If you don't like it I can't help you with your inability to enbrace a different point of view. It really tickles me when i read some of the replies in this thread. The same people that say those with a more reserved point are out in droves when the team loses and scurry back into the dark during a win are doing the very same thing in this thread. A 6-2 record at the midway point is nothing more than a nice record at the midway point. I'm ecstatic and proud of the teamwork exhibited in the first half of the season but let's not go Dennis Green at the midpoint and crown their ***** just yet. Let me repeat once more, those of you that complain of oily cyber chest rubbing by those with moderate points of view are doing the very same thing right now..lol... hypocrisy at its best...

I typed this on my cell phone in the car so scuse any typos.

How many times are you actually going to repeat that drivel? Are you trying to mystically convince someone that it's just? The fact that you're a close minded individual unable to accept the diverse opinions of others sounds like a very personal issue to me.

Since you've crawled out from under your rock, it must be time to celebrate our Super Bowl win after the completion of a stellar season and an even better postseason. Oh wait!

Sooooooo. You're here to tell those of us that take a more moderate point of view that we're all wrong after 8 weeks neener neener style. :laugh2:

Gotcha.

Oh good Lord. You're backpeddling so fast that I'm afraid you might fall over and smash your head. So let me get this straight. After 4 weeks when you were one of the folks claiming this team was done, it had no shot, it was over, you were being a realist and anyone who had any hope that this team wasn't quite through yet was a rose colored glasses homer.

Now, 4 weeks later, the team is 6-2 and has PROVEN they weren't quite dead, or done in, yet as so many claimed after a 2-2 start and yet the people who didn't just shut the season down are still rose colored glasses, homers and you're still a realist cause you're just waiting for something to go wrong?

So, basically, to be a realist you have to just sit around figuring that, in the end, we likely won't go all the way cause that's how its been for this team for 13 years. With that type of thought process then shouldn't we really just pack it in at the start of every season since, odds are, we aren't going to win it all? I mean there is only a 1 in 32 chance of any team winning so should every fan just be 'real' and not bother to look at the situation with some hope and belief that we could be that 1 team?

Sorry but if that's the kind of thing it takes to be real then I'll pass. That sounds terribly boring, unfulling, and down right dreadful to just sit around the whole season waiting for the bad to happen. I'd rather not do that just to be a 'realist'.

If that makes you happy, and gets you through, then more power to you. If keeping from 'being burned' is how you like to do it then I'm happy for you. Nothing wrong with people being the ones to stand outside the fire and not take any chance of being wrong about their rose colored view.

You stay out there on the safe side, avoiding being burned, and playing the percentages of not getting all the way. I'll stay right here, hopeful that we can keep things going and be that 1 team to get it done, and take my chances of being wrong and burned by it. It's much more fun and exciting, to me, to be in that position.

13 years, 13 years, 13 years... Such a boring premise to base an opinion on. If one can't sift through those 13 years and see the evolution of this team from an old, aging, outright stink team to one of an upcoming team whose foundation has been set to be competive year in and year out, then I think folks need to take off those blind as a bat glasses they give you when they dilate your eyes.

When the Cowboys have some postseason success this year, then it'll be, "They've only won once in 14 years." And a new record will be broken.

Here's the disconnect. You think the only reason to be encouraged is by the success of the past four weeks. Though you're one of the first to cite 13 years as a reason to be down. This team hasn't had postseason success in 13 years, but they haven't been a piss poor crappy team for the entire 13 years either.

Some want to credit the hiring of Parcells, I actually think the turn began with the 2002 draft. Yes there have been some disappointing ends to the season, but overall this team hasn't been Campo-bad or even Jimmy 1-15 bad in years.

I think it's a myopic view to yell, "They haven't done jack **** in 13 years" When, in reality, they have.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, you may consider yourself a moderate, but your opinion comes from a glass half-empty point of view. You're entitled to it. *shrug*

Your larger sample tends to focus only on postseason success though. I agree we ALL want them to win a super bowl. That's a given. However, I think the larger sample should include the core of the team, such as the drafts, the free agent acquisitions, team character, team execution, and yes coaching.

All of that has to work together to achieve postseason success. This team hasn't made the quick turnaround as some other teams have. But they've been in the playoff mix for at least five years now and there's been a steady growth process. There's enough good, hard working talent that's been brought in consistently at least since 2002 to make me think it IS a trend.

I couldn't agree more with this. Enjoy the whole thing, all of it, not just the one big thing if it happens to come along. To many great moments, plays, games, and all that will be missed, and not completely enjoyed, IMO, by going by only the big things that happen at the end of the year for 1 team.

 

[Bleu Star]

Oh good Lord. You're backpeddling so fast that I'm afraid you might fall over and smash your head.

To you the word is backpedaling. To me the it's simply maintaining my ground right in the middle where it's comfy.

Now, 4 weeks later, the team is 6-2 and has PROVEN they weren't quite dead, or done in, yet as so many claimed after a 2-2 start and yet the people who didn't just shut the season down are still rose colored glasses, homers and you're still a realist cause you're just waiting for something to go wrong?

Let me clear something with you rosy. I'm not waiting for anything to go wrong. I'm content with where we are and hopeful that we continue to expand on the progress made to this point. I still don't care for the 45 million dollar downfield blocker extraordinaire and also don't have any emotion whatsoever for the glorified defensive coordinator. Clear as mud?

I said we would go 8-8 or 9-7. If we go 10-6 or 11-5 was I that far off? Let's go ahead and crown their ***** after 8 weeks. YAWN

You have it all wrong. I see it as simply maintaining an even keel throughout it all. Not too high and not too low.. That's where I enjoy residing now. Some of you fail to remember that I have simply offered up my opinion and never bashed those that felt more positive than me. It's those that feel my opinion doesn't fit their glorified view that get push back. All in good fun as far as I am concerned. At the end of the season, win or lose, we'll all have even more to say regarding the state of the Boys. Hopefully a deep playoff run is included in that conversation.

Sorry but if that's the kind of thing it takes to be real then I'll pass. That sounds terribly boring, unfulling, and down right dreadful to just sit around the whole season waiting for the bad to happen. I'd rather not do that just to be a 'realist'.

Actually it's great. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about the Boys. I enjoy my time spent on this board, catch a few headlines, and enjoy a weekly game. It's far better than being as emotionally invested as I have been over the past several years. To each his/her own.

If that makes you happy, and gets you through, then more power to you. If keeping from 'being burned' is how you like to do it then I'm happy for you. Nothing wrong with people being the ones to stand outside the fire and not take any chance of being wrong about their rose colored view.

Coming from you that is a badge of honor, I'm sure you will be jumping and hollering after the next loss by this team and once again writing them off because well your a realist who seeing 1 foot in front of him and nothing beyond that. Yeah your a realist.

No one is crowning them anything. No one is going to call them Superbowl bound at this point. But to be thrilled about where we are right now? To know that we're not as bad as some people proclaimed we are, and would be, after a 2-2 record? yeah I don't have any problem with that and like you I refuse to see any reason to appologize for not being all "OMG! THEY SUCK! THEY'RE 2-2!!! WE'RE DEAD!!!!"

And I like the spin there. You predict 8-8 or 9-7 but if they finish as well as 11-5 you weren't that far off. Nice spin. The big difference being that 8-8 would keep them out of the playoffs where as 10-6 or 11-5 not only gets them in the playoffs, most likely, but quite likely gives them a shot at the division.

But, no, I guess that means you weren't that far off. :laugh2:



You have it all wrong. I see it as simply maintaining an even keel throughout it all. Not too high and not too low.. That's where I enjoy residing now.

Ummm...right. Again spin control. You don't bash anyones opinion? You tell people they're wrong because they're homers and have rose colored glasses, and that makes you a realist for not viewing things that way, but you're not bashing their opinion? Ok. If that's what gets you through the day in your world to each their own.

And being excited, thankful, and willing to be really hopeful about a season doesn't mean anyone is getting to high or too low. I'd say that pretty much calling it a lost season after a 2-2 start is really where people were getting too low. But again to each their own there as well.

Actually it's great. I don't spend a lot of time worrying about the Boys. I enjoy my time spent on this board, catch a few headlines, and enjoy a weekly game. It's far better than being as emotionally invested as I have been over the past several years. To each his/her own.

I don't spend any time worry about them. I'm just excited when they win and I'm disappointed when they lose but both of those feelings go away within 30 minutes of the game ending (Most of the time. I'll admit to my excitement lasting much longer this week cause it was Philly). My life doesn't depend on rather they are Superbowl team or not. They can go 4-12 every year and I'll still be a fan and still be as happy a person as I am when they're 13-3 and Superbowl champions. I've never understood the folks who get so emotionally invested in them that it wrecks their day, week, month, year when they aren't great. I don't know if you're that type, or ever were, but the fact that you are mentioning not being as emotionally invested seems to indicate that at one point your whole attitude about your week rested on what they do in their games.


Thanks for granting me the permission to do whatever the hell I please. I appreciate that.

Sorry wasn't meaning for it to seem like that. Guess I should word things better.



Slight correction, we're both hopeful. I'm just hopeful from a different spot. I'm truly happy that you find excitement in where you are. Kudos!

Back at you. As long as everyones happy I guess there can't really be any harm for anyone.

I've really got to figure out how to make this thing break it up in parts like you guys do. I guess you just have to copy and paste the quote stuff before and after each part?
