The eye test tells you this team isn’t as good as Philly or SF

A few weeks ago, when we beat a one-loss team 40-3 and the Eagles beat the Colts by 1 point, after losing to Washington the week before, and the 49ers were 6-4 did you think the same thing?

The point is, this league is week to week. Sure we played crappy this week and the other two played really well, but who the heck knows what happens over the next month or two? We are in the mix, that's all we can ask at this point. I'm certainly not conceding ANYTHING at this point, except that the other two teams played better this week.

Some of you guys sound really, really defeatist and well, weak as hell. Glad you aren't playing for my teams.

There are no guarantees we'll beat anyone and as the same token, none that other teams will beat us. That's why the games are played. :D

If it suits your foolish pride to prove yourselves as NFL experts, feel free to downgrade the team you profess being a fan of, even if it's false.

thanksgiving boys played poorly for a 1/2 vs giants, then played poorly 3 quarters vs colts and then played poorly for 58 minutes vs Texans..3-0 but this is a longer stretch of poorly played games that only won because the teams they beat are really bad, and many can see they are trending downward, as soon as competition picks up, this poor play won’t be enough to win

Now could anything happen in a 1 game playoff absolutely but the eagles and the Niners are just better teams..
Looking at today's performance, most any nfl team looks better.
Better hope this was just the team being overconfident.

Howdy bullflop.
Hope we were just overconfident.
We sure looked bad today.
Glad we got the win.

Yeah this team is doomed. Enjoy the regular season as much as you can because we won’t be enjoying much of the post.

we haven’t even clinched the playoffs yet either so…

Football is frustrating. One week you’re beating a 8-1 team on the road 40-3. A couple of weeks later you’re barely beating an inferior team. We don’t know what’s ahead. But we got a chance.

cherry picking the bad, ignoring the good.

I spent 25 years in the eyeglass business.

You would be shocked to find out how many people thought they had perfect vision until they put on glasses for the first time after receiving an eye test from the doctor.

You don't realize that your eyes are lying to you until you put on the glasses and see what you never even realized you were supposed to see.

That is, if the eye test was conducted by someone trained in that area. When the test is self-administered, you were treated by an amateur.

Your eye test in reference to the Dallas Cowboys comes from a perspective that is spontaneous and limited to the events of today. The real eye test comes on Christmas Eve.

Hey I get it, it’s easier to throw in the towel and say some teams are better than the Cowboys. It saves you the misery in case they lose in the playoffs. I think the Cowboys are as talented as any team and teams are not going to want to play them. So I’m not giving up. I’ve seen the early 90’s SB Cowboys stink it up for several games. They didn’t throw in the towel believing other teams are better.

We already found out a few weeks ago we’re not as good as Philly. The Cowboys are starting to look like the team we saw last season. Not many teams come off a 50 point game and look like crap the following week. We were doing that last season and we did that today, but the only difference is we escaped with a win today.

Their 10th win by the way.
