Where the actual Cowboys fans at?

Crazy that fans of the #3 seed in the NFC can find so many reasons to delegitimize their own team. I honestly think there are fans (a bunch of them) that cannot wait for us to lose in the playoffs because they would rather say "I told you so" than to see Dak hoist the trophy... shameful

Nobody had the Cowboys winning 12 games preseason. I had them pegged at 10 and most places I saw were between 7 and 10 wins. We won 12.

No one expected our offense to be #1, top 10 maybe, even the most optimistic top 5, but #1...

We all wanted our defense to be average to give the team a chance... but lead the league in turnovers? Our D was the reason we won a few games... I wouldn't have predicated that.

Why so down?
Yes, there are true haters here. Who cares. Unfortunately, a lot of people here do not like to actually talk football and speak in actual improvements of the team because they are too sensitive. My question is why are you guys so uptight about someone who disagrees with you? I get that someone who truly hates someone or something just hate is rather annoying but all you guys are doing is feeding their ego by calling them out. It's almost every day that one of you makes a post about the haters. They are doing it to get a reaction. A reaction that is very easy to get from you.
 
Don't you think enjoying the ride for 26yrs will make people sick of the ride,what people want is the ride to end with a long awaited post season run..hey I don't begrudge anyone enjoying this season,I've enjoyed it,but we all want more,and the old ride is not fun anymore..but that's how I feel,and feeling that way won't make it happen on the field but neither will the people who say relax, enjoy the ride..it doesn't make me or you right...it will all be determined on the gridiron..with all of us hoping for the same outcome.

Brother I get it. No we don't change anything, but I'm strange in my beliefs. I go for the corny "speak it in to existence," positive thought type stuff. Without getting too side tracked, it's just my own personal experiences.
Normally it works, but more than anything it puts me in a better state of mind. You of course are free to fanboy however you want. I hope you have an awesome time celebrating a playoff victory this Sunday. Next week we will deal with next week.

Preach it!
 
o_O Not true. Many such as @gp_cowpolk & myself had this squad winning 12 + games in posts back in August when several threads asked about the the up coming seasons predictions.

Also, many (not mentioning who) had them @ 8-8 pumping their chest stating MM is worse than Garrett blah blah blah. There was a handful who gave Dallas only six wins as well.

Bottom line, it's the haters who made those idiotic predictions.
Good call homie
 
I'm right about here.

Wish I could like this twice on effort alone
 
I have screen shot of my predictions and they are close to what happened. I had them 13-4 with Dak winning both the MVP and Come Comeback player. #1 offense with a defense ranked between 7 and 11. My playoff prediction is shaping up nicely. *praying hands*

Most of these haters either don't like Dak because they are fans of only Romo, or another reason which I can't say here.

Oh I figured that much too

ACTUAL FAN: NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE COWBOYS, WORSHIP THEM, LOVE THEM, TALK GREAT ABOUT THEM, BE MORE LOYAL TO THEM THAN FAMILY
 
You're right, I had us going 8-8-1. I'm happy that we made the play offs and I'm rooting so hard against the hated 49'ers. I'm super hyped and nervous at the same time. Not feeling too confident, but I'm hoping for the best. I have far too many 9'ers fans in my orbit that finally came out of hibernation to stomach. C'mon Cowboys. We need this as a fanbase.
Betting on a tie...I like your style
 
I know for sure it takes a team... yeah and they had to play great players to achieve what they did, Like Steve young, Jerry Rice.

why do you feel the need to rationalize why Dallas may not succeed? I demand that they try their best to do so. Imho that is being a good fan. I will root for them all the way, but they need to deliver.

neither the 70's or 90's teams won SB's by talking we'll get better. they went out and DID get better until they were the best. they DETERMINED their path. they did not allow others to determine it for them. I merely want to see some of that spark in our current team.

otherwise they can go play on Jimmy's OTHER practice field.

GO COWBOYS!!

They talked as well especially the 90's team. I don't know why people get offended because players talk? By league rules the players have to make themselves available to the media. Thing that gets me is so many take what has happened in the past and put in on this team who has nothing to do with past teams. Last time this team went to post season HC was different, OC was different, DC was different. Many faces on this team who were not there. I judge this team by their play without dumping past crap on them when they had nothing to do with the past. I would think this team would welcome fans to go out and back them and cheer for them, instead we have several Steven A Smith out there ripping them at every turn. It is what it is.

Sadly this statement seems to summarize half the threads I see on here. Not just Dak though, works with Zeke and others too. Also works the opposite way. They are OK with a loss as long as "their guy" does well and the guy they rip apart does crappy. People dig their heels in so deeply that they put their internet pride and credibility over their team.

I don't think you get what I or other fans like me are about.

so you think somehow that I will not be cheering for them come Sunday? That i get offended by them talking about achieving? Not at all. but there is talking, and then there is actually DOING. they need to demand more doing of themselves. that is how winners think. they don't commit 5 false start penalties that helps stall drives and lose them the game, say they will fix it, and then come out the next week and do it again... and again.. and again.

secondly, I will be cheering them on like crazy. my only caveat is that they do their VERY best to fulfill the dreams of Dallas Cowboys fandom... which is a new Superbowl victory. If the teams want fans, and I think that they do, because they all get paid a LOT of money to entertain those fans, and they WANT to be special as Dallas Cowboys, which I think they do , because it is a storied franchise and the most beloved team in the NFL, then they have a goal to achieve and they need to focus their all on that goal. I merely want to help them do that, with the way I praise them when they succeed and also, how I constructively criticize them when they do not.

If they can't handle that then they need to learn that Team is more important than anything and the goal is the point of the entire game. They are not on this team to be mediocre. that would be an insult to those that achieved so much before them. they are on THIS team to work towards excellence and achieve that goal once again.

That is the kind of mentality Tom Landry would expect. That is the kind of mentality Jimmy Johnson expected, and that is the kind of mentality I expect.

Just another in a long line of those wanting to tell you what a better fan they are than you. You know...the tired, "you aren't a fan if..." chestnut.

It's not shameful. It's your own immaturity causing you to think that.
 
Many fans have Jason Garrett Syndrome and have never seen success during any playoffs. We have generations of fans who have had high hopes but are used to the Cowboys losing and being let down. They have never experienced the 90's Cowboys where we walked into a game knowing we would dominate regardless of what the other teams plan was. They knew exactly what we were going to do and couldn't stop it. I'm cautiously optimistic Mc Carthy can break the Garrett curse.

If they win, I am not going to give Dak credit for winning the game anyway. There is an entire team that will be making plays to win the game. I think history will be an accurate factor that shows fans what to expect. If the offense is number one in the league, it comes from padding stats against terrible teams with most of them coming from the pathetic NFCE.
 
I think it has alot to do with the past 25 years, we've really done next to nothing since the last Super Bowl win. Many are probably hesitant to buy in.
