Perhaps this team overachieved a lot that season. We went 13-3 and blew out so many teams. Ever since that season we have been severely overrated. Maybe we were never that good to begin with. We looked bad at the end of that season and got manhandled in the second half against the giants.
This team has had the mentality ever since that season that they are more talented and should automatically be a contender. They are so full of themselves that every time they do something the media and fans automatically think they are so good. Then they take the attitude that they just need to show up and they will win. Look at the saints game last year. Everyone was saying they had no chance to win. They go in there and win. Then after beating the saints and philly, lots of people were back on the bandwagon.
Many people were picking them over the vikings. On paper, there was nobody that could stop our offense the way the were rolling or put up points against our stellar d. What happens, they go in and lay an egg, playing like a team that had no passion whatsoever.
This year so many people automatically handed them the division based on talent alone, with many people picking them for the superbowl. They come out week 1 and lay an egg again. This week everyone picks them again, saying they are too talented to lose two games in a row, not to mention the bears should have lost to the lions. Then they get beat again and jenkins comes out and finally says it. They underestimated the other team.
Until they get the idea out of their head that they are the most talented team to ever step foot on the field, we will continue to see this uninspired play. How you could ever underestimate a team after doing that the week before is ridiculous. They think all they have to do is show up and they will win, or they can flip the switch late and pull it out. The NFL does not work like that and i hope they learn soon.
