Maybe I am in denial but I cant see this team NOT getting "It" and hitting their stride when it counts.... Dec, Jan, Feb.


They could take a page out of the Tampa Bay Rays book. TEAM.

Not much margin for error if we dont win one of the next 2 games the odds of us making the playoffs is slim to none. We would have to go 6-1 the final 7 games just to finish 10-6 and have a shot at a wild card berth.

Your absolutely not in denial. We know this team can be as good as they want to be.

For some reason they thought the Lombardi was handed out after the Green Bay game.

Like the great Parcells used to say.. "Don't let your highs get to high or your lows get to low."

This team just needs to get back to the basics, work hard, and come out as pissed off as a angry hornets net Sunday.

If they dont Garcia will tear them a new B-Hole.

The point was playing like a TEAM and playing their BUTT off because they believe in their coach. No every analogy is tit for tat comparison.

What is our biggest issue? This TEAM is not playing as a TEAM.

That is the epitomy of the Rays.

Dallas is still in the thick of the hunt despite one of the worst performances I have seen from them in a while so I don't think you are in denial. No doubt this team needs to ask themselves if they are giving it the best they have and start playing like they are capable of

Saying they should play as a TEAM is not an analogy. I even CAPITALIZED it for you. :p:

The Rays tore it up in spring training, early in the season, mid-season and late season.

Showed alot of heart & scrap from day-1 in spring season, even had a few bench-clearing brawls in PRE-SEASON telling the league they WERE NOT GOING TO BE PUSHED AROUND. Sent a message that took them now to the World Series.

Terrible, terrible analogy.

OTOH the Yankees are a better analogy. Overpaid collection of superstars with no real desire as a team to win.
