Does it seem like crazy highlight plays happen against us

off the top of my head:
The catch.

The Commanders back to back touchdown bombs with a few minutes left .

mcnabb scrambling for 13 seconds.

Odell's catch(that has since been duplicated and topped but this somehow has become legend)

Rodgers in the playoffs.
Rodgers In the playoffs.
Rodgers.
******* Aaron Rodgers.
Tyreke hills play.

If you're going as far back as "The Catch" you're missing a bunch more. For instance, 1998 Thanksgiving Day, Randy Moss 3 rec 164 yds 3 TDs IN THE FIRST HALF! I wish I could single out one play from that game, but all 3 TDs were equally spectacular.

I was just thinking this... but seems you cannot complain in these forums .... people will bash you. We have become a team that anything can happen against us... like those punny teams from the 80s

It can be one of those myopic things where we forget everyone feels this way. Like how eveetone thinks the refs or announcers are biased. But maybe teams just always get up to play Dallas so we do get these crazy performances

How about all the times we make a back-up QB look like Joe Montana?....Oh, wait, we won this week. Save it for next season, because we are winning out this year.

While during the game it's an emotional roller coaster, in the end, all that matters to me is who won. Would I rather Dez or Beasley make that catch like ODB did and the Cowboys lose that game? Absolutely not.

I've watched pitchers on baseball teams throw a 1-hit, no-walk game, but the one hit they gave up was a homerun and because their team did not score, they (and the pitcher) lost the game.

Awesome plays, performances and games are great, but for the team, the only thing that matters in the end is winning. As a player, playing your best game ever or making your best play ever means very little if your team loses the game.

Its a probably a sad commentary on society that the most talked about thing from the Chiefs' game seems to be a play from the losing team. Oh, and Romo dissing Deion. Zeke didn't bust any long ones this week, he just dominated the Chiefs defense from quarter one to four, but I guess a six yard run doesn't blow up the highlight reel quite as much.

Don't worry about reactionary bashing on the internet... facing it is a rite of passage.
Anyways... I think you're an okay kinda person.

Huh.

This year we blocked a field goal...have we had one blocked against us?

Last year our punter ran 30 yards on a fake. Has that happened against us?

When did we last fail to field an onside kick?

When was the last time we had a punt returned or kickoff returned for a touchdown? I honestly can't remember...

Our guy Cole caught a football behind his head, using his helmet. Has that happened against us?

You folks do know that Aaron Rogers has had hail-Mary successes multiple times in recent years. Atlanta gave up a 20+ point lead or some-such in the Super Bowl. Crazy stuff happens all the time in the NFL.

Some fans focus so much on the negative...that's all they see.
