Why is everyone so happy?

[Eldorado]

Yes I am from Mt. Pocono Pa. I am a cowboys fan and have been my entire life. My granfather practicly raised me and he was from texas and I have been several times for weddings and funerals and 2 cowboys games. I wore cowboys gear to the vet the night Irvin was injured. I love the cowboys but this kinda play can't happen and judging by wades reaction in the locker room he was happy for the way his team played today.

You're right, we all need to play better next week.

What position do you play again?

I am a Cowboys fan... Just because I am not wearing blinders and acting as if the boys accomplished something today other then proving we are neck and nek with the worst the leeague has to off does not mean I am not a Cowboys fan it means that Jason and Wade need to hit the drawing board and Romo needs to work more with his weapons.

You've got to be kidding, one of the worst teams in the league?
You lost the little credibility you had right there.

ummmm... wasn't Irvin injured during a day game?

Oh, my. I feel so sorry for you, does having chronic depression suck?

Don't feel sorry for me. I'm far from being depressed. If you see depression in that post (or any other post from SBabe) I feel sorry that you are intellectually challenged.

Prone.

I really don't get why everyone is so down on the Bucs this year. Sure they have a rookie head coach and a brand new offensive coordinator but they have a ton of weapons on Offense. Sure their defense is rebuilding but when you have guys like:
Ward
Caddy Williams
K2
Bryant
Mike clayton
on the offensive side of the ball as well as a decent o-line and a somewhat competent QB then you should expect to put up 21 points in a game
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING ITS THE FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON...

Sure we had our issues and I'm not happy that they put up 450 yards on us but get real, If not for a BS pass interference call on Sensy they would not have scored on that drive, we take over, and possible ram the ball down their throats like we did on the last drive.

We won 34-21 on the road on opening week against a hungry team trying to prove they are going to contend this year so lighten up and enjoy the season!

We struggled in all phases of the game in the first half. Our running game was anything but good. Tony was off target ALOT! Had we been playing a better team we would have turned the ball over at least 3 times.

First off, the title of your thread speaks volumes about your intentions of putting a damper on the enjoyment of our win. In short, it says you're trolling around the board with nothing better to do than bellyache about a W.

You say, "We struggled in all phases of the game in the first half."

Hey genius. It was the first game of the season. Do you not think players had some butterflies? It was the first game of the season with virtually a new offense. And it sure looked like we were struggling when Felix ran the ball out to the 35 on the kickoff return. And since when was "struggling" holding your opponent to 7 points going into the half?

Our running game looked fine. And guess what, Nancy? Romo had his best career game in terms of passing yards in a game. Yet he was off target... I guess no QB in the league ever misses a throw; Manning; Favre--none of those guys, eh?

And you make an outright fallible assertion by saying if we would have played another team we would have turned the ball over at least 3 times.

According to what data or statistics do you come up with this idear?

Oh, wait, it looks like your just pulling that out of your behind.

Our D gave up 26 first downs, 450 yards and 3 TD's to a team that everyone thought was one of the worst teams this year They are a rebuilding team and for us to play SO poorly is a disgrace.

We knew going into this game we had some work to do on defense. In case you didn't notice, our offense kept up with what the defense allowed. But I guess our defense was supposed to be perfect with 5 new players starting, huh?

I tell you, this is the most brilliant thread I've ever read by any member of this board. What a masterpiece you've written here, Nancy! Brilliant!

We only reached 18 first downs! This kinda play will kill our D by December! We had 0 sack 0 turnovers and we were only 50% in the redzone!

So you'd rather achieve 30 first downs than 34 points? It's mind boggling how you've come up with this.

THIS IS NOTHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT! Be happy about the Special teams because they kept us in the game!

Oh, I'm overjoyed. And this is something to be happy about. It's a W in the Win column. I guess you would have rather lost. I'm proud to be held in the same company with such fans--fans that get their post game input from the media and then regurgitate it onto the 'ole message board. Overjoyed, I tell you!

If we play like this against the Giants, Eagles and Commanders you can kiss this season goodbye and start scouting next year's draft picks now.
I kinda think it would have served this team better had we lost this game because if fat Wade thinks that this will happen against teams who have any kind of talent then we should start looking for a HC NOW!

My ole my. You've really got me thinking about this. I'm trembling in my chair as I write this. I really wish we wouldn't have won this game. And I wish fat Wade would lose some weight and reevaluate our talent and just forfeit our next games coming up against obviously more talented teams such as the Giants, Eagles and Commanders.

In fact, Nancy, I'm already kissing this season goodbye.

I can't believe that people on this forum are acting as if we won the superbowl. So we showed the world we can go toe to toe with what alot of people are calling the worst team in the NFL. This is nothing to be proud of! It makes me sick.

You're kidding me. Cowboys fans are happy about a win? You don't say... And the Bucs are the worst team in the NFL? I'll have to remember that the next time I see Kellen Winslow, Antonio Bryant and Cadillac Williams.

And a win is nothing to be proud of? I guess you can join the rest of the Negative Nancys over at the Bills forum. I hear they have all of the barf bags a fan needs over there.

My advice: Put a paper bag on your head. That way, not only can you hide your face in shame from this terrible game we won, but when you throw up from being sick, you can get it all over yourself. Maybe then you might realize what you really shouldn't be happy about.

Certainly no more offensive than Cobra's predictable "shut the hell up" thread.

I think it was an afternoon game actually, not sure, but if so, then I guess he can get away with saying 'night'

evarc, welcome to the Zone. Based upon your initial post you will fit in well as a member of the "doom and gloom" set. The "doom and gloom" set here on the Zone can be characterized as maintaining that every win demonstrates the chinks in our armor where we are on the edge of disaster and every loss is the end of the universe as we know it. That said I would like to gently suggest the following approach:

1. On game day, celebrate a win recognizing both the good and the bad of our play. A win means we played better than our opponent regardless of any problems. There will be time enough during the week to further analyze the bad...and the good.
2. On Monday and Tuesday, breakdown our play and discuss the good and bad points of the previous game. For example, you can wax poetic on the majesty of Buehler (like Hostile does). Or you can puzzle along with the rest of us on why Romo is a slow starter.
3. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, consider the injuries that occured in the previous week and their impact on the coming week. Consider our next opponent, how abysmally ugly they are, how they were raised in an outhouse and still carry the odor. These days are good times to explain to Wade and Jerry and Jason (or Jerry and Wade and Jason) how to do their jobs better. Of course, these days are also good for considering the majesty of Buehler (like Hostile does) and anticipate his next accomplishment.

If you follow these simple steps, you will enjoy your time here on the Zone and once again....welcome.
