Not everyone said we’d get blown out. I was on record as saying they could cover the spread calling special attention to the early money wagered on Dallas.
Fans I’m close to didn’t expect us to win and have a better sense of this team’s potential not buying into all the hype. We are what we are.
This team gets off to slow starts and makes too many mistakes and still has some key weaknesses in talent to become an elite team. I’m not sure everyone can handle the reality.
We bring enough to the table to beat good football teams. I personally thought we had very good chance against the Patriots and would not have been surprised to see the Cowboys win that game.
But we did indeed lose. And the reason is the same reason its always been. Like you said. We make too many mistakes in key situations. It's always something. Come in with the wrong game plan. Fumbles. Bad ST play. Penalties. Bad decision at the end of the game leading to a loss.
You can overcome those things against bad football teams. But not against good ones.
It's coaching. I'm telling you. I'm sure they think they know what they are doing. But the results speak for themselves.
