Mikey, yes, of course we need to play better. All around.
But all week the consensus was what we needed to accomplish more than anything this week was run and stop the run. Well, I think we had about 150 rushing yards, and they had fewer than 60. Come on, weren't you thrilled by the first two run plays with JJ running right?
I don't get the funereal ambiance here.
It's always a little like 'yeah we won, but we didn't in the way I wanted us to win" I just have to attribute to fantasy football thinking - simply because I can't explain it otherwise.
"I had Price and/or Glenn on my FF team so I'm ticked".
"Those 150 yards suck because running back by committee don't do it in MY league".
"Woe is me. Drew's passer rating went down".
"Witten ignored too much again".
"Why don't we involve Price more?"
All these type comments stink of selfish FF me-ism to me.
We do need to play better, but in the areas we DO play better, like the crucial run stop and run game, there is little celebration, or even kudos.
Someday we the fans are going to be as unselfish as the players we are lucky enough to have.
I just don't know how long it is going to take.
