I feel for the fans that have yet to see this franchise succeed. That said they are far from a franchise that hasnt acheived success. I root for the cubbies and it was 108 years in between championships and it feels good when it happens. we arent even the longest in the NFL.

Yea, growing up a Baylor fan since my Dad, uncles, aunts and grandmother all were Alumni and myself eventually , the Bears were mostly a Dormant football program.
When they won their second SWC championship in 1974 which was 50 years since their first one, they called it “ Miracle on the Brazos”.
It’s a much different mentality rooting on following and supporting a losing program. Basically you expect to lose hoping to win. My father said “ losing builds character , it’s easy rooting for a winner , and you appreciate the victory much more after losing so long”.
My wife and her family are mostly Longhorn fans . And it is a different mentality. They have had much success and expect to have more. The pressure is much greater. I think this is what’s going on with Cowboys fans as well.
I’m an old enough fan that I recall being a fan in our expansion years before we even had a winning season so I’ve never taken winning for granted. And being a Baylor fan had prepared me mentally for this down era.
Plus we have a great reason why this era has been so disappointing, our narcissistic owner.
Make it and they will come...support 'em, they will win.
