I'm at a total loss right now
The next week should be Interesting
No doubt. If there's no change after this, it'll certainly be a less-entertaining offseason, and I'll be less enthusiastic about next year's regular season. I was forgiving last year. I could have been forgiving this year. But from everything I observed, the team and fans took Green Bay way too lightly. This team record is not indicative of what they became as the season progressed. Mike didn't have the team focused. For crying out loud, they were bickering and geeking out on the field out there—in a playoff game—like some dysfunctional family. Not what you want to see as a fan. In fact, the last thing any team should want to see. Yet, there they were.
That's what many fans fail to understand. It isn't usually the hot team at the beginning of the year who wins. The teams who are hot towards the end typically win more. The 2nd half of the season, and particularly the last 5 or so games, really matters more than anything. That's why I don't typically get worked up about regular season losses. I understand it's a long-game... Dallas just gets too high and too low, and buys into the hype whether it's negative or positive. They don't know how to tune out the noise, which is exactly what Love said the Packers did... That mindset stuff works, when you don't think you're too good or too bad and take every team as seriously as the next. Cowboys are living in the media.. and should just see it as a distraction, all the way around. Instead, they relish in it.
The media and fan noise surrounding this team does them no favors. Even the coaches get caught up in the fame drama. The coach who can best avoid getting caught up in that; the coach who can innovate and motivate on the fly.. that's the coach I want.
