I ADMIT I WAS WRONG IN BOTH SAYING SO AND THE FACT THAT WE WON...

I COULD HAVE SAID I DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD WIN - BUT I DID GO OUTTA MY WAY TO MAKE A GIGANTIC PROCLAMATION...

I'VE BEEN RIGHT MORE THAN WRONG WHICH I NEVER SEEM TO GET CREDIT FOR BUT...IN THIS CASE I GAVE UP ON THE TEAM IN WEEK 9 AGAINST A JOKE OF A CLUB....

SOME OF YOU AGREED - AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...BUT REGARDLESS...IT WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO....

DOES THIS MEAN I'LL NEVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN...PROBABLY.

BAD POST BY MYSELF...I JOINED THE WORLD OF COWBOY HATERS IN CRAPPING ON US RATHER THAN RALLYING BEHIND US...I DON'T WHY , BUT SOMETIMES I TEND TO DO THAT :bang2:

I have no idea what you are talking about. Am I missing something?

I think fair weather fans are worse than negative fans.

Negative fans have a reason to be disappointed ... but at least stick around when the team is losing.

Fair weather fans are only around when the team wins.

Geez, was this whole new thread necessary?

Advice - the next time you get worried the season is over, frame your thread in terms of just that - worry. Like 1000 other Chicken Littles here, many of them justified.

Not in terms of inevitability.

The team has lost so many kinds of ways this year, and after last weeks heartbreaker, I doubt anyone felt totally confident the ship could be righted.

Imo, you hit a nerve yesterday, and today it's easier to jump on you for expressing a fear others felt...but again, pronouncing 'defeat' is different from expressing the fear of it.

Just get over it.

PLEASE. :bang2:

I think both are equalkly bad. Now just being negative on some things is fine. What irks me is a few that are negative about anything and everything, and NEVER say anything positive about the team.

Say we win a game by 30 points and instead of being happy that person starts coming into threads talking about 1 bad play means this guy sucks etc etc

Never thought I'd see it.

A pat on the back in the middle naturally, but at least he did it.

It's very difficult to say "I was wrong".........props for doing it.

I see nothing wrong w/questioning.....jumping ship....not in my vocabulary.

Not for nothing, but this win sort of reminds me of the contestants on American Idol. They're all happy as pigs in slop when they move onto the next round ... but in the end, only ONE person is standing.

Reminds me of that Japanese movie where the HS students are kidnapped and sent to a deserted island, and given orders to kill each other. Only the last person alive will leave the island and go home.

Anyway, we were 4-4 before this win. That's close to be out of it. 2-3 more losses, and we're on the outside looking in.

We simply beat up on a lousy 1-8 team.

Did this win simply push off the inevitable? Missing the playoffs again? Are we happy like the Idol contestants to be able to move to the next round? Is the judges' axe ready to fall next time around?

If we lose to Indy, we'll be on the edge of elimination.
