remote controller 143 Posted December 2, 2006 Things are really looking up for the Cowboys, but the Cowboy nation is really an enigma. I have never seen bigger roller coaster emotions coming out of any other nation. They win a few games and the are Super Bowl Bound. They lose a few and it is over. Romo enters the picture, and it is Super Bowl Bound again. This isn't just this season. They seem to have the biggest knee jerk reactions of all nations. This is not a slam, just an observation. It might be that, since i live in the Panhandle, I just get more Cowboy coverage then other teams. There football fans, and media just seem to go from highs and lows, often, every season. I guess it is the quest for another title. There is a lot to like on this squad, on both offense and defense, and TO said the smartest thing i ever heard him say last week when he defended Vandy. saying vandy got cut, and hadn't lost a game for them, while he feels he is still there, and lost a couple of games for them. Thumbs up to TO for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Dido Brother 0 Posted December 2, 2006 I wouldn't say it's just the Cowboy nation. I live in Jersey, and just a few weeks ago when McNabb was mopping up the field with their crap opponents the Eagles nation started making some Super Bowl noises. Now they're looking towards next year. Watch, AJ Feeley will come in and win some games, then they'll get excited again. Same thing with the Giants, after their big win against the 'boys. Now they're in free fall. Those are just the normal ups and downs of a team's fan base, depending on the team's fortunes. Unless you're a Lions fan, then you're just resigned to the fact that your team sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I will say that there were high expectations for this team from the start this year. Unfortunately Bledsoe just couldn't get the job done, and the team played down to his level. Also penalties cost us a few games this year as well. As far as the D goes....I think it's just a case of the team peaking at the right time.

As a Raider fan living here in the Metroplex, I can 100% agree that the media in DFW causes a lot of this. I thought it was bad in Denver, but the Cowboys press corps, ESPECIALLY the knuckleheads at the leading sports talk radio hovels, are just absolutely clueless. In fact, 1310 The Ticket doesn't even pretend to know anything about sports and just runs bits on chicks, flagellation, boobs, or whatever crap they feel like covering. NOT ONE OF THEM saw the potential this move with Romo had, even though it is their stated profession and what they get paid to do. You can go to the tapes, they were burying the Cowboys right before the Indy game. Now they have heaped so much pressure on the kid Romo to deliver a division title and NFC Championship that the bandwagon springs are giving out. This kid is going to have a bad game or two, that's assured life as an NFL QB, and I'd be concerned all the added pressure might jack with his confidence. Oh, and every last one of these leering a-holes have just killed Parcells in one form or another. But as I see it, he is the one who has built this team (he saw enough in Romo to sign him as a walk-on FA) and keeps it on an even keel. You gotta know he is just tearing down Romo in practices, and if anything that'll keep the kids head on straight. This team is solid contender in the NFC, and I look for them to go into the Meadowlands and steal that game. Their defense is good enough to shut down Manning, and force a turnover or two. This will give them a good chance to score against a banged up defense. Once they bury the Giants they are in the driver's seat for homefield and a bye. But yes, their fans are ridiculous washerwomen for the most part. A million Barney Fifes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SaintsInDome2006 441 Posted December 2, 2006 "Cowboy Nation"? No such thing. Cowboy fans are the complete opposite of die hard fans like the Red Sox' or Cubs' whose fans band together over years from town to town struggling to find a tv with their team's games on until recently for the Red Sox anyway). In the NFL you can even say that about the Raiders who always have an outsiders' status and despite the apparel sales their real fans always have a determined quality. Cowboys fans? Please. Dallas would get on tv when they were 3-13, their fans jump on and off the old loyalty wagon, and they don't deserve the moniker of 'nation' because they show no real patriotism (if you will) toward their team. That 'roller coaster of emotions' as you put it is just Cowboy fans being Cowboy fans. I was going to post something about whether the NYG can pull it together this Sunday, so that has nothing to do with this post, but if they could it would be great to be in a Dallas sports bar and hear the typical roller coaster reaction that I'm sure will ensue.

Does the fact that my father's family is from Texas qualify me, keeper of the fan club keys? Don't argue it; just accept it. If you became a fan of a team beause you saw them in the playoffs or super bowl, you are a bandwagoner. It is what it is. The logic is simple. I don't want you guys to think too hard here. If you live in NM or say NY and you root for the Raiders because they won the 1983 super bowl you are a bandwagoner. See that wasn't so hard now was it? Just imagine then if say the St Louis Cardinals had won the 1983 super bowl. Then you would be fans of that team now instead of the Raiders. My point is most raider, Steeler and Cowboys fans who do not live in those states root for them because they saw them win a big game and they wanted to puff out their chests and brga that they root for a winner. As for you growing upo in state without football you can root for anyone you want but I bet you root for a team with a glorious history and not the say the Cardinals, Lions, or Jets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they receive intermediate status between "true fan" status and "bandwagoner" status? I hope so I also don't want you to think too hard either, holmes, but hearken back to those geography lessons and you'll remember that New Mexico is bordered by Arizona, Texas, and Colorado. Typically, northern NM supports the Broncos and southern and eastern NM supports the Cowboys. A few tough souls in remote western NM probably support the Cardinals.

Let's say for arguments sake that southern and eastern NM fans, bordered by TX (thanks for the geography lesson your government school education wasn't a waste) all root for the Cowboys as you say. Could some of those folks simply root for the Cowboys because of simple geography? Sure, why not! However, I think it is pretty safe to say that had the Cowboys had the history of say the Detroit Lions most of the NM Cowboy fans would NOT root for the Cowboys. It is what it is. Those folks picked a team, just like those folks in NY or CA or even FLA who root for the Cowboys, because they wanted to root for a winner and the Cowboys were the winning team at the time.

OuttaLuck 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Every team has "front-runner" fans...The Cowboys just happen to lead the league in that department. Their "out of state" fans disappear almost completely when they aren't doing well (based upon my personal knowledge of Dallas fans when Dallas is lousy, as well as upon comments by others I know). Even their local fans desert them in droves when they aren't playing well--they had a ton of empty seats during their bad years, which you just don't see in NY, GB, Chicago, or other NFL cities that support their team through the "rocky" times (In the case of NY, that would be the almost decades long playoff drought after drafting "Rocky" Thompson). I'm not saying Dallas doesn't have true fans--it just has a lot less of them than almost any other team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Dido Brother 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Just accept it Yep, like I said, I've accepted that my fandom doesn't pass an internet message board poster's litmus test. I've found enough empirical evidence to give the "Cowboys bandwagon" folks credit for their arguments though...I've run across a few more Cowboy fans out here than I thought I'd find, especially since I'm closer to south Jersey and Eagles and Cowboys fans have more enmity than Giants and Cowboys fans. Of course, since folks that live in a place like Cherry Hill don't actually live in Philly...they must be bandwagon Eagle fans! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guitarmonkiy 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Just like every suburban Virginian who likes the Deadskins is a bandwagoner since they don't live in DC. That line alone basically proves you're point.

Montreal Canadien and Toronto Maple Leaf fans take a backseat to no one. Canadien fans are probably the worse. They are incredibly arrogant and expect to win it every year. Yet, Maple Leaf fans probably fit more into the rollercoaster scenario as they are sort of the Red Sox (pre-04) of the NHL. Always hanging around but never quite there.

shygnome 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Born and raised Cowboy fan here (born in dallas in 1959). Dallas's talent level with Romo is upper echelon in the league. If the dumb mistakes have played out, then they will go far. I'm not convinced this is the state of the team. I still think this team, for whatever reason, makes too many mistakes. Also, the safetys don't cover well. If they make fewer mistakes than the Giants, they will win, and I think go far. If the Gmen win this game the division is up for grabs. Including Philly. May be just me, but I think Philly will finish strong with Garcia at the helm. The Indy game was like Romos game against the Giants. I look for Garcia to play well and beat Carolina and Philly could win out. I'd like to think Dallas has enough to win the east, and if they win today and look good doing it, they probably will. I still see Philly as the team that could emerge should the Gmen win today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I look for Garcia to play well and beat Carolina and Philly could win out. When I called this shot I stopped short of saying it, but Philly may be a better team with Garcia than they were with McNabb. I still think the three teams from the East are superior to Chicago, Seattle, Carolina, NO and ATL. NY is nose diving, but Eli looked backed to form on Sunday. It's unfortunate that the non East teams have patsy schedules, because either Philly or NY is staying home this winter, and both are better than any from the non-east divisions. Dallas win at NY was huge. They were slightly outplayed, IMO. The "swagger" has returned and TO is yet to really "go off". I see Dallas game plan this week to run-run-run. Keep Brees on sideline, or on his arse. I'm real close to declaring that Dallas is the NFC rep come Feb. But being a lifer, I always stop short of such predictions.

Diggler 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Your logic is quite flawed. I have lived in 5 NFL cities including Green Bay, Dallas, Boston, Chicago, and currently Minneapolis. The scenario you described happens in every single town after a loss. Of course more people wear their gear after a big win than after a loss, that is just common sense. Of course there are always those few diehards (of which you are apparently one) who wear their NFL gear 7 days a week, but most people have a larger wardrobe than replica jerseys. I love people who can judge a persons devotion to his/her team by how often they wear their offical Tom Brady approved NFL Shop Truckers Cap. I also find it hilarious when a Patriots fan talks about ANY other teams fanbase being fairweather. Also, no I am not a Cowboys fan.

I am a Packer fan living in Minnesota so don't infer that I am arguing with you because you picked on my favorite team. Far from it. do not try to explain anything...do not try to introduce logic or common sense into general discussion.....here on this bored in this world...dallas fans are evil. end of story. cowboy nation--> <----fans of other nfc east teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
