Midge should come back down here and join me. This forum was a lot better when he went underground.
I'm not quite sure what Cowboys fans you're talking about, because the ones I know actually know football and realize that consistency is the problem with the team... and consistency isn't something to be found in one game. Especially one preseason game.
To be honest, you just described the majority of the Spurs fans on this site after every game in the regular season... this place goes nuts wanting to trade everyone when the Spurs blow off a regular season game to Milwaukee.

I would have to agree.I'm not quite sure what Cowboys fans you're talking about, because the ones I know actually know football and realize that consistency is the problem with the team... and consistency isn't something to be found in one game. Especially one preseason game.
I guess I am in the minority then because I have never proclaimed the Cowboys a Super Bowl participant after one game, unless they just won the NFC Championship.i've done that before.
im sure evryone is guilty of it at sometime
You are right though....I think every team has fans that act like the team will go undefeated the rest of the way after a win and are ready to blow up the team after a loss. BeerIsGood is right...that happens a lot on this board.
thats true
yeah you'd be happy with getting to the 2nd round since the cowboys haven't been there in 11 years
Well, I have to admit I had a blast reading all of you blow your wads over each other's faces while you watched your team pick off Jim Sorgi and Josh Betts all night, while they were playing with guys highly likely to not even be on the Week 1 roster.
You are so full of .
Mark Schlereth and Chris Mortensen at ESPN both have them going to the Super Bowl.
So, your little theory just went to .
Um, okay.
Congratulations on associating with a higher caliber of Cowboy fans. You've obviously never lived in Dallas. I have for about 20 years. This is the way this fanbase is. I never said it was everyone, but the only fan base that comes within shouting distance is the Yankees.
Somebody needs to read you the definition of "majority", considering the number of Spurs fans on this board. Every fanbase has overreactors, and message boards have a higher percentage of those. That said, there's probably less than 20 people on this board that overreact that way, and many of them are joking or venting.
Cowboys fans that don't overreact are the exception, not the rule.
I live in Garland, a whopping 10 minute drive from downtown Dallas. I don't pay attention to talk radio, don't pay attention to sports on the news, so maybe you're right, but I don't know or pretend to know what the majority of Cowboy fans believe. All I know is that the Cowboy fans I know aren't ignorant of the fact that this team has the talent to win but needs consistent play. That said, this thread was started by someone bashing fans who weren't proclaiming superiority over the Colts, but were instead evaluating the performance of the Cowboy team and coaches in the first live action game in 8 months.
Regarding the Spurstalk Spurs fans overreaction, a majority would be approx. 50.0000000001% or higher. I think the 40+ page tirades calling for Pop's head, or for trading this or that player, or proclaiming that the team is too old and can't win simply because they blew off a mid season game to the Bobcats are encompassing at least 50% of the Spurs fans on the board. You and I are seemingly in the minority when it comes to Spurs fans on this board overreacting to just about everything.
We are in agreement in that every team has fans that do that. It just may be the case that fan bases who had become accustomed to winning tend to have more.
That's probably the bottom line. Dallas society are typically kind of fickle and shallow, and you know how they glom onto a winner and claim it as their own, only to abandon it at the first sign of adversity. Back in the Super Bowl years, fans would leave Texas Stadium at halftime if the Cowboys weren't leading or scoring enough points. As a Cowboys fan, I find the whole thing vaguely amusing. I certainly don't get annoyed at some dip that tries to lump us in with that crowd on a message board.
You should listen to Hitzges doing postgame or Galloway's "overreaction monday" on ESPN radio during the season just for fun. It's like the "fire Pop" threads times ten. There should be a honeymoon period for Phillips before they turn on him, though.
Let's not turn this into a bash Dallas thread. Every city has fickle and shallow fans. The city has never turned on or abandoned the Cowboys. That will never happen with a franchise like that in a city and state that lives and breathes football. The Cowboys own Dallas and the Mavs, Rangers, and Stars will never in history come close to it.
It's not a "bash Dallas" thread, but its not a "deny what Dallas is" thread, either. Cowboys fans overreact - if not more strongly, then much more vocally - to things that happen to the team. It's funny.
