I started this thread as an attempt at injecting some humor in the forum. I realize humor is always in the eye of the beholder and you apparently see no humor in this. That’s fine.
But calling this place 24/7 negative is strange to me because it’s an opinion forum. This place is great (IMO) because we have a vast variety of opinions. Some of those opinions I disagree with and some I agree. That’s just the way a healthy opinion forum goes.
In my opinion, calling people’s opinions that you disagree with as “complaining” is very ironic. Because it’s a form of complaining too. It’s like saying “I’m really tired of hearing people say they are tired”. That just seems hugely ironic to complain about what you perceive is complaining. You certainly have the right to do that, but it seems strange to me.
Finally, if you find a thread where you hate the message, why make multiple posts on that thread, thus keeping it alive? Threads here only live on when people respond. If you hate it, the fastest way to see it disappear is not post there. It’s your choice, but that also seems counterintuitive to help keep a thread alive you hate.
Actually it's not ironic because if it wasn't 75-25 to negative post to positive posts...
there wouldn't be a need to complain about the complaints but when it's overrun by complaints,
this is a fan forum don't sound like any fans are in here there's very few in here that understand that being a fan is is more about wins and losses but it's way less about what goes on with the front office.
we have no control over it but if we open up something that's supposed to be a fan forum ,which by the way, I think this area the fan zone should be more about football and less about the front office, less about other teams, and what they're doing and not doing every player who comes available who's attached to the Cowboys but it's all rumor, that should be on different places,
that way people can choose to go over there and read this stuff and have these discussions that are all -75% of this place the last year has been negative. And don't say don't open it if you don't wanna read it because it's all taking over the front page when 7 out of every 10 new threads are about complaints about complaining about the front office and the ownership in every little thing they say becomes a new most of us already read it most of us have our own opinion we don't need to come in here and see it again.. In news flash nothing that's being said in the replies are new it's all seems to be copy and pasted from the last five on the same subject we've been complaining about this front office since January the angry Green Bay lost fans have never let it go and now the seasons loss it's gotten worse but it's the same exact subject being regurgitated 1000 times we've already heard the complaints we know how you feel we know how most of you feel we don't need to keep talking about it...
SO, when it's overrun by negativity some of us are going to say something... I mean it needs some balance,
so yeah you don't like the complaints about the complaints ,how about less complaining therefore the reactions won't be complaints over top of complaints,
that's the problem,
I think some of these and a lot of these should be moved we're just discussing a different discussion area the main area should be mostly about football about football moves football players the games the plays the coaches which I don't mind the complaints about the coaching staff or players not living up to their contracts or negative stuff about how the team is not performing well that is normal football top that would be what it should be going on in the main page the main area should be us discussing actual football all the rest of it about feelings about how you feel about things you can't change about the front office you're already complaining about moves that haven't been made yet because you feel like no moves are gonna be made but you're getting ahead 5 months but guess what you'll be saying the same exact things in March so ready set it and now it's gonna be set again in March and then again when the season starts when the front office doesn't do enough but you're already getting ahead of the complaints 5 months early and that's the problem because I know I'm sitting here reading the same crap now I'm gonna have to read the same crap five months from now it'll be the exact same people complaining about the exact same things five months from now at some point that needs to be moved to his own special place..
if it's about the games about the wins and losses having discussions about that about the team about the reason we're here is the star on the helmet that is why we're here not to read stuff because it's starting to become like CNN or worse Fox News for football that's what it looks that's what it feels like it's just 24/7 negativity it's like anti Cowboys versus pro Cowboys when it becomes more anti than pro it don't feel like a fan forum at all..
See I do like the other spots where people open it up and give players like Hoffman and bass and Rico their flowers guys he's back up playing really hard they're not giving up on Mike McCarthy I wanna talk about the games and yes about the plays that lost us the game that that's football that's what we're here for there's plenty of those stories right now and yes I wanna hear about how they feel like Trey Lance should be playing and he's not...
This is why I come in here and open the front page up because I wanna talk about the games the football the season things that could have been maybe things that should've been not about oh we should've took TJ Watt over Taco now we don't need that story in here we don't need to hear about every week saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry could have been better on our team because first of all that's probably not the truth not on this team this year we didn't need to spend that money no but we could talk about Jerry was wrong for not bringing in at least one draft pick at running back from the draft we get it those things need to be talked about I don't need every week every time Barkley or Henry has a big game to hear again the same fans complaining about the same thing we've already understood that we didn't get those two players and that they're playing very well yet some people feel the need to start a new threat every single week on Berkeley and Henry this is just a waste of time it doesn't matter the ship itself they're not on this team and nor do I think they would have performed well on this team given how we started the first eight games of the season..
So that's what's frustrating I mean it's just just unreal on the regurgitated nonsense that we heard about the first five weeks and now we're hearing it every week it's the same threads being talked about over and over...
So yes there's gonna be some negative reactions and some complaining about the complaining and that's just the vicious circle we have here now.....
