When do you guys recover?

[Frozen700]

After a while you learn not to get to up or down.

If they win, cool, there is a possibility they can lose next week, so I'll enjoy the win a little, but won't celebrate

If they lose, oh well, not like I haven't seen this movie before, and I still have a life to live.

That's the mentality you have to have.

The only time nowadays I'll let it sting longer than an hr, is if maybe it's a loss for a playoff spot or in the playoffs.

44-6 was the last time I got legitimately angry and upset after a loss. And when Jerry proceeded to fire no one and act as if nothing had happened I gradually stopped caring less and less too.

I barely watched the 4th quarter today. I knew they were done when they gave up the TD after halftime.

by tomorrow morning..... used to take all week by now RL stuff is priority and the Cowboys/NFL is just a game/entertainment

 

[slomoxn]

Back when we were winners (90's) it would take me a week to get over it , after the past 18 years if watching every change imaginable except the GM I no longer even feel a thing. Today after the loss I put in some blue sweats and a Dallas tshirt and me and the wife went to eat sushi. Sat at the table laughing at the implosion on this board. Jerry has made me completely numb to the losses as I'm more surprised at the wins these days.

 

[Zman5]

I had a feeling we were going to lose today because of history of this team past few year. I am a die hard fan so I was hoping I was wrong.

Cowboys, once again came through, and disappointed me again.

I drank for 10 hours today. Yeh, it's been a long sad day.

 

[KoRnyBrad]

I work Sunday nights so I always take my bad mood with me to work and usually lasts til Monday night. Worse when everyone knows I'm a Cowboys fan and I live in the 4-0 Superbowl Champions Chiefs territory. ::eye roll::

 

[Tabascocat]

Depends on your age. The younger folks tend to hang on longer than the older fans, in general. It used to take me a few days at least to recover and look forward to the next game. Friends knew not to pester me over the loss, text, whatever but some still did. Now, my only outlet is typing on here but am over it in a couple of hours. The good part is...the wife knows to leave me alone after a loss so I can drink some beer and vent a bit but I am good the next day

 

[Mrdude108]

I'm 22, I started REALLY watching(obsessing) in like 2006 and up until a couple years ago I'd be depressed all of Sunday, into Monday and I'd be "okay" Tuesday but it still pissed me off when I thought about it. I'd just wanna go to bed or watch TV, in a bad mood. Especially after 44-6, the Viking playoff loss. Win or go home games. Although now, I don't feel anything really when we lose because it's expected and they've been average and disappointing the entire time I've been watching. I just wait for the next game, I don't even go and watch all of the pressers and interviews anymore because it the same thing. Processes, phases, getting better, executing...ect

It sucks because I can't find a legitimate answer to why they do this every year. There's a good game, a close game, a blowout loss, a close win, a loss, blowout win, losing streak, late winning streak that isn't enough or the old December collapses. The recurring people are Jerry, JG(OC, then HC), Romo, Ware, Witten. Hard to blame Jerry for the actual play because of the turnover with the roster. Coaching then? Another new DC and the same offense since 07 until the play calling duties changed this year. I don't know, that's the biggest problem for me. At least with the Rams, they know they are a young football team, youngest in the league, they're building. Second year coaches and owners and GM.

 

[panchucko]

i am usually over it by the time i finish my beer.

I finally realized that I have no control and no say in what goes on. It isn't worth getting all worked up over a game.

 

[IrishAnto]

Okay guys, this is a serious question.

After a loss, when have you fully recovered from it? Using myself as an example..
after this game...
I skipped dinner
shut off my cell phone
and have shut sat here miserable.

Tomorrow:
people know enough not to talk to me at all until I speak first.
wont eat breakfast or lunch.

And then by tomorrow evening, I will eat a good dinner and get ready for Monday Night Football and will become less agitated. Then, by Tuesday AM, things will be back to normal....accepting the fact that my football team is a .500 team.

How long will it take you to get over this loss?

For me this loss bites hard.

I think the realisation that it doesn’t seem to matter what we do the results will be roughly the same.

The waste of Romo’s, Witten’s, Ware’s etc. careers is a shame and ultimately that there seems to be no end in sight.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Actually it doesn't take long for me to recover any more. He'll, I've had 18 years of practice so I've become an expert. I decided a few years ago not to let something that I have 0% control over make me miserable. I've come to expect losing.

 

[Eddie]

At this point, I just shrug and say it's another day at the office. Nothing new. Nothing to get upset about. I don't hang my happiness on these bunch of losers anymore.

 

[unionjack8]

The whole fan base has become apathetic.

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

This loss hurts as does every loss. We're not gonna win every game. I wanted this game too with Peyton coming to town next week, but we didn't get it. Time to move on. I'm tired of the mediocrity we've shown also, but I have to look at it for what it is. We're still in first place in our division guys and ladies. Let's let the season play out before we condemn the team, because there's still 12 weeks worth of games left to play.

I remember tha championships of the 90's...heck, I remember the championships of the 70's too! I want those feelings back too zoners, but I just can't bring myself to scrap the season with only 4 games played.

Ok, I'm ready for the flames

 

[JerryFan]

I'm done even caring because we just aren't a good team. I don't know if we are even average. So many things wrong with this team that we have no shot against an average team.

 

[theebs]

The whole fan base has become apathetic.

I agree with this and it's. unfortunate we have some great guys in that locker room.

This deflating loss will cause the ticket holders who sell for a profit to jump ship and sell this week. It's going to be a stadium filled with broncos fans who paid 300 bucks for 100 dollar seats Sunday.

Oh well have just sit there and take the beating and shrug my shoulders.

 

[Hostile]

Immediately. I get over wins every bit as quickly. On to the next hurdle.

 

[SDCowboy]

A couple of days. Though I find myself starting to care less and less.

I learned a very long time ago that unless Jerry Jones is going to fly to St. Louis, MO and hire me to be that upset about a loss, it's not worth the stress. The last time I was remotely pissed off at this team was when Jerry hired Garrett and I felt he was the wrong fit and a bad hire. And even then I wasn't nearly as distraught as you some people can become.

I will also openly admit that since 2009 apathy has set in as well.

 

[mahoneybill]

I give it the ol' 24-hr rule, so I'm usually good by Tuesday.

Same for me. I feel bad during the game, and then after when the highlights come on. Read the usual sites on Monday, and by Tuesday am looking forward to next game.

In this case, I have been expecting an L since the beginning of the season. To me getting to 9 -7 or 10-6 would be a step forward this year. 8-8 and lower is just treading water again....

Playoffs if they happen will only be because the rest of the NFC East is really that bad.
