Your Optimism and Your Pessimism Meet

[MichaelWinicki]

A record of less than .500 for the last 10 seasons with no playoff wins.

Until proven otherwise the bad outweighs the good.

Always room for optimism. Here's our depth.

Call me a cynic, but this score right here, Oakland 31-10 is a bad, bad, bad, sign, even for a preseason game. Offensively, Kitna, our great savior as backup to Romo stunk up the joint. McGee looked better. That's good.

Defensively, we stunk up the joint after the first quarter. That's bad. So bad, I don't believe the Cowboys have a second team. They jump from first team to third. That's bad.

I can see why our starters might play longer tomorrow. JJ doesn't want to lose this game. Brand new stadium opening. You think he wants a sequel to, Massacre At Texas Stadium, The Final Game?

Wade has been bad in more ways than one. He and JJ have squandered the depth that we've had and I don't have time to give you a long list of the goners. So, pessimistically writing, I believe this team as coached and constructed by Jerry Jones, Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett are capable of losing even if their lives depended on winning.

But wait! . . . I have to be optimistic that I'm wrong. Brand new Stadium! 100k plus rockin, sock'em crowds! The team will stay healthy! We have a rock solid running back core! The team has overcome adversity in the offseason! Romo will turn into God! Buehler is God! Wade has his application in to be God! Rah, Rah, Rah, zippity boom bah!

But wait! . . . Pessimistically writing, again. What if we lose this game tomorrow night? And the starters played three quarters?

Well, I know what I'll do. Watch a rerun of Hang Em' High, with Clint Eastwood and wish I was standing on the wrong end of Clint's Winchester.

That was classic

That was classic

I am really glad someone else commented on that. I thought he did a great job with that.

optimist: the embarrassment that was the last few seasons turns up an inspiring, workman-like 11-5 season and playoff run. that is hinged on Romo ultimately carrying this team with smart decisions and Techmo having learned the concept of ball-control and what situations to go "techmo". Playoff possibility of Romo having an "eli-like" run in the playoffs winning a few games (or more).

pessimist: the three stooges (jerry, wade & jason) continue taking this squad of comfortable millionaires on the same path... looking up at Philly & the NYG with nothing meaningful (no playoff wins, probably no playoff appearance) to show for except Jerry's new stadium & the Star Wars Orchestra & other events (not playoff games).

all cowboy fans posting here want the 'boys to have a great season, that is obvious & shouldn't even have to be said.

Optimistic: More classic in season banter between Bob and bbgun.

Pessimistic: Slatemosphere and zrinkill become the new Bob and bbgun.

The optomistic side of me says we could be an 11-5 or 12-4 team that contends for the division title, and homefield, and will win at least a playoff game or two, and quite honestly could contend for the crown.

The other side, the side I don't listen to much, says we could very easily be a team that struggles to remain a 9-7 club and may not even make the playoffs again this year.
