detlef Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Just curious how many NFL teams have only one play-off win since '97? I'm sure there's at least a couple. That's not my point. Of them, how many are teams that have a fan base who pretends they're any good at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not nice. That's cool. As soon as I see thread after thread espousing how great the Browns, Bills, Bengals, or what-have-you are going to be, then I'll lay off the Cowboy fans. But that's the company they keep.

stevegrab Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) The Browns have had 0 playoff wins and only one playoff game since returning in 1999. But we know our team sucks. (Although each year we keep thinking "this will be the year, we finally did X Y & Z to get us over the hump". ETA "getting over the hump" = being competitive and maybe winning 6-8 games. Outside of this forum I don't see these Cowboy homers as much. So maybe its just the few people here. I'm still trying to figure out, is Cowboyz1 really fishing, or does he seriously believe the things he says? I think its the later.

It's part of being a fan and there've been enough examples in the modern era of teams going from suck to solid or better in short time to give one reason to hope.

Menudo Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 unless you're a Cowboys fan, right Det? Cowboyz1 is the loudest Cowboys fan on the board, but, you are easily the most defensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 unless you're a Cowboys fan, right Det? Can you truly not tell the difference between a Browns fan simply hoping that this is the year and Cowboy fans going on the way they do about a team that hasn't done jack chight for 15 years?

Cowboyz1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Cowboyz1 is the loudest Cowboys fan on the board, but, you are easily the most defensive. I am hardly the loudest. You black and gold pot..... Maybe the proudest. Or the loyalest. Maybe even the cup half fullest. But the loudest..........mehh. Doesn't describe me at all........

HowboutthemCowboys Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Cowboyz1 is the loudest Cowboys fan on the board, but, you are easily the most defensive. that's debateable and irrelevant. If you want you can write a poem about it Can you truly not tell the difference between a Browns fan simply hoping that this is the year and Cowboy fans going on the way they do about a team that hasn't done jack chight for 15 years? sure I can, but that's not what you typed. Look we go through this every year. there's only 1 fan here that crows about Dallas and I'm convinced he's mostly fishing. And he fills his livewell every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cowboys haven't been exactly world beaters in recent years. Oh well.........to each his own. Some people just don't know when to take one for the fan base, you know what I mean.........
