I’m as pissed about this L as anyone. Refs screwed us but it happens. That’s life. We had chances to win and we didn’t.
But this week wasn’t a total disaster, simply because the Eagles lost too. They’re still a game back. We’ll need to beat them in Week 16 and Philly’s easier schedule isn’t going to save them from having to beat us in Week 16.
I’ll take it 1 step further. Entering today, Philly had a better chance to win today than Dallas. Philly was a 1-point home favorite vs Seattle, we were 6.5-point road underdogs. Today could’ve been disastrous for us.
But in all honesty, once Philly lost to Seattle, our game at NE was like we were playing with house money.
Move on to Buffalo. Thursday will be here quickly and that will be a huge game too.
Think about it like this: before today, we all figured we’d probably go 1-1 over our next 2 games. We can (and should) still do that with a win on Thursday.
This won’t be as deflating a loss to the team as it feels to us fans right now. Our guys know they just went toe-to-toe with the boogeyman and should’ve come out on top. I’m expecting a W on Thanksgiving and the optimism will be back.
Okay, I’m still pissed too. But typing all of this was therapeutic.
