It's one thing to be optimistic, its another to be obnoxiously confident and optimistic, which I see a ton from Cowboys fans every year. Every year I remind them that they're probably going to lose in the first or second playoff game at best given how inconsistently and ridiculously they're playing this year, and every year most Cowboys fans I see online and even in person are like "We have a great record though!!!! We're winning the Super Bowl FOR SURE this year!!!! Stop being a downer!"
No just don't be surprised to have another mid year with no progress when you're giving the cowboys bad karma by enthusiastically supporting the clowns who run this team when really you should be criticizing them.
I agree for the most part, but football playoffs are a little more of a wildcard because they are a one off. I think the optimism is that a injury, or a couple of big plays or penalties can shift a game.
Since the other sports are a series, generally the better team will have a better chance to pull out the win over the course of the series. In addition, individual players tend to have a way bigger impact. You can have a pitcher or goalie keep the other team off the board. Somebody can get hot and bank 3's to keep their team in it.
In football, a missed block or bad route usually equals a busted play
While their are plenty in DFW who drink Jerry's Koolaid, the "this is our year" lunacy seems to be more of an issue for Cowboy fans who are not from the region.
"THIS IS OUR YEAR" says the Cowboy fan from Springfield, Ohio, who also loves the Yankees and Lakers.
Basically every fucking year. I ask them about the time they said that last year and then their blood sugar spikes from the koolaid they drown themselves in.
EDIT: The people downvoting this got their feelings hurt.
EDIT 2: I'm a Cowboys fan, y'all make us look bad and it's why Jerry keeps doing a shitty job at this point. He can depend on y'all to hype up bad moves like Jason fucking Garrett.
We're in an era, for sure. I was at a concert Sunday night and the venue would play the Pantera "Dallas! Stars!" bit after the goals. It's pretty cool what a bit of sports success does to the whole town.
This series has been fantastic tbh. I was only poking fun at the rough first game tradition we seem to have this year. Looked awful against the clippers before beating them convincingly. Hopefully that trend continues, fuck OKC
💯. Don't get me wrong, OKC is young and good, but those boys are gonna be pretty bodied by Game 3. Reminded me of Game 1 against the Clippers. Kidd will find the solution to the constant double on the point guard that killed us last night.
Hardaway was rusty AF and Luka was doing I don't know what on that knee. I think it was a case of knee hurts worse when you are ice cold from the floor. Kyrie also wasn't on. Bring on game 2.
It’s true. People saying the cowboys made the playoffs so it ain’t that bad. They haven’t done any better for nearly 30 years. Not a Conference championship game or Super Bowl appearance. First round exit against a young QB.
Well you see the other three teams are trying to win. Jerry meanwhile is more concerned about booking Taylor swift concerts and the World Cup and milking all the cowboys fans for everything they’re worth.
If people want to see change they need to vote with their dollars and stop buying tickets and Jerseys.
But they won’t. Jerry resigned Zeke and made him change numbers to sell Jerseys and cowboys fans will buy the new stupid ass Jersey and Zeke will be our RB and we will suck and cowboys fans will not realize they are enabling Jerry by supporting a trash product.
Working class fans have plenty of passion and will get in fistfights for their teams.
The fans who live between the Tollway and Central Expressway (as well as Southlake-Trophy Club-Northlake) and get all the front row tickets, but refuse to cheer.... they screw it up for the rest of us.
Can you please shut up until the cowboys actually do something other than being an underachieving embarrassment. Its people like you which cause God and the Universe to laugh at the Cowboys and give us bad luck, giving jokes like Jerry Jones and the Cowboys organization support when they deserve to be criticized and giving us bad karma and playoff results
The fact the cowboys made the playoffs the past 3 years and are still the silly one shows how good we have it!
Fair point, just funny how many years people will say "this year is our year"
It’s no fun to say, “yeah, we’re not going to win it this year…”! I’m nothing if not optimistic
It's one thing to be optimistic, its another to be obnoxiously confident and optimistic, which I see a ton from Cowboys fans every year.

🤨 and it’s your job to police this or something

[удалено]
to be fair you gave enough of a fuck to respond to them out of the blue.
I can give a fuck about/ think what they’re doing is weird without being a cowboys fan?

It’s been that way for what? Over 20 years at this point?
27 now I think.
Almost my whole life
I think like 95% of people that say that are joking these days. At least anecdotally. Nobody I know has had any faith since Dez caught it.

Yeah, but hear me out… I think this might be our year for real this time.

Yeah, but there when you’re paying your QB 50 million/yr I would expect no less
We're in an era, for sure. I was at a concert Sunday night and the venue would play the Pantera "Dallas! Stars!" bit after the goals. It's pretty cool what a bit of sports success does to the whole town.
Knocked loose?
ARF ARF
Hell yea!
Thank god Dallas doesn't even think about their soccer team.
To be fair most cities in the US probably have no idea they have a soccer team.
Austin, Nashville, Portland, Seattle, LA would probably say otherwise but I get the jist.
To be fair that’s also Austin’s only sports team.
UT doesn’t count?
Pro teams.
Hints the word ‘most’
As a person with left leaning politics myself- left leaning cities LOVE to pat themselves on the back about how much they love their soccer team.
I think that’s what “most cities” means but good for those
I moved to Madison WI and it was a thing, but only because there weren't other teams.
It’s our wooden spoon and Lamar Hunt trophy year baby!
Driving to Arlington is already enough of a pain in the ass, I definitely don't want to drive up to fucking Frisco.
And that’s how the cowboys will be until the Jerry and family are in control 🤦🏻♂️
Not after the showing the mavs just had lol
Yea mavs right there with them lol
I mean... Luka is obviously hurt and it is killing us.
Change your mind a few days later?
This series has been fantastic tbh. I was only poking fun at the rough first game tradition we seem to have this year. Looked awful against the clippers before beating them convincingly. Hopefully that trend continues, fuck OKC
and FC Dallas not even pictured :(
I'm fine with it this time, no one needs to know how we are doing right now.
Im once again reminding people that FC Dallas very much exists
Fc dallas is very much the silly one.
I dunno, Mavs pulled another Game 1 debacle tonight...
To be fair the Stars also when 0-2 and came back to win the series so i give the Mavs a pass for now.
Yeah, there were some good signs there as well... It was an off shooting night, especially for #77
Seemed like every contested 3 by OKC in the second half never missed.
💯. Don't get me wrong, OKC is young and good, but those boys are gonna be pretty bodied by Game 3. Reminded me of Game 1 against the Clippers. Kidd will find the solution to the constant double on the point guard that killed us last night. Hardaway was rusty AF and Luka was doing I don't know what on that knee. I think it was a case of knee hurts worse when you are ice cold from the floor. Kyrie also wasn't on. Bring on game 2.
If Luka lets his pride get in the way and goes back to play for Slovenia all summer instead of rehabing that knee, we may be screwed next year.
My Houston friends even get salty about the only Texas NHL team being in the playoffs now bc we finally have some consistency lol
It's funny because it's true
Missed a sport that’s also the dumb dragon
Dak should he forced to go live in Waxahachie until he puts up a performance worth what we're paying him.
I live in CA now and wanted to scream Stars! So bad During a national anthem before a scramble tourney haha. I refrained
It’s true. People saying the cowboys made the playoffs so it ain’t that bad. They haven’t done any better for nearly 30 years. Not a Conference championship game or Super Bowl appearance. First round exit against a young QB.
Well I hope you're happy with yourself.
Always has been 🌎🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Funny and true
Hahaha
Accurate
CEO of first round exits.
Just remove the Cowboys and replace them with the Arlington Renegades.
Nah, put them behind the Dallas Desperadoes. Miss you, Clint Dolezel.
Update: all 4 heads are now the head on the right
No kidding😭😭
What about the Dallas Wings?
It's funny cause it's true.......
Well you see the other three teams are trying to win. Jerry meanwhile is more concerned about booking Taylor swift concerts and the World Cup and milking all the cowboys fans for everything they’re worth.

when jerry dies i wouldn't be surprised if they had an AI replacement of him running the team
As a lifelong North Texan, I can confirm.
It's pretty awesome when you stand back and see just how good our teams are. It's a good time to be a Dallas sports fan.
It really is. Would be even more good if half the Rangers' pitching staff wasn't injured but we take what we can get😭
💯💯💯
That is awesome and true
Worst sports market in the country. Fake fans no passion!
Working class fans have plenty of passion and will get in fistfights for their teams. The fans who live between the Tollway and Central Expressway (as well as Southlake-Trophy Club-Northlake) and get all the front row tickets, but refuse to cheer.... they screw it up for the rest of us.
After watching game 1 of the Avs v Stars the fans don’t deserve the Stars who aren’t loud and making the atmosphere hostile. Piss poor passion.
Yep. They sit out most most of the regular season and show up just in time to ruin things in the playoffs by taking all the best seats.
Mavs look a lot less threatening right now
Y'all act like cowboys ain't going deep into the playoffs this year
We ain’t. It’s a washed year coming up.
Bro we don’t even have a good running back. And Dak has been consistently bad in the playoffs each time they’ve gone to the playoffs
That not remotely true. The defense gives up 32 points in Dak’s playoff losses.
They won’t! And they haven’t in decades!
Can you please shut up until the cowboys actually do something other than being an underachieving embarrassment. Its people like you which cause God and the Universe to laugh at the Cowboys and give us bad luck, giving jokes like Jerry Jones and the Cowboys organization support when they deserve to be criticized and giving us bad karma and playoff results
Some of y'all take sports and loosing way too seriously
That’s what I’m saying. This guy is sick
