Everyone Take a Deep Breath...

I know there are a lot of pissed off people probably right now. But take a deep breath. It is so difficult to win back-to-back Super Bowls. I think the last time it happened was the Pats 2002-2003 and that was a team with Tom F'n Brady as the QB and Bill F'n Bellichek as the coach. Not to mention all the baggage with the off-field death to deal with.

Yeah, first team to win 15+ games and go 1 and out and the loss at home but honestly, its not like we're the Vikings or something that had a limited window. Who's old, Chuck and Driver? We're still a fairly young team with a QB in his prime. We'll be back. Obviously some things that need to get fixed but remember we were 15-1! 15-1! I think the fact that we did so well during the regular season actually screwed us because we basically didn't play a meaningful game for weeks.

Also, I am proud of this board, seems like everyone is pretty rational about all this.

The thing that is killing me right now is having to admit that Eli Manning is the real deal, I have been ragging on him for so many years, but he looked like a MVP out there.

It doesn't bother me that we lost. It's how we lost. This team consistently underperforms, year after year.
Yes I know, we won the Superbowl last year.

We were jinxed because AR said "123 FAMILY" instead of "123 DOMINATE".

And yeah, how we lost is really all the difference. It's rough to end a season with a sloppy, underwhelming performance. But it's gotta be nice for you because you can continue with this mind-numbing narrative about underperforming and lulls. If what you want is a great team that is always consistent, then start a Madden franchise on rookie mode.

Today was about the agony of defeat; much of the rest of the season has been the thrill of victory. I know we want consistency. We want a tougher defense. We want a lull-less team that doesn't just score more points than the other team, but dominates them. But that's just not realistic, and I for one would like to break the habit of holding a football team that I have no influence over to such a ridiculously high standard. I don't need a cookie or a pat on the back or an apology or anything. I don't need to hump your leg, either. Sorry, you just happen to be the person I most consistently disagree with.

I just think our defense had an enourmous case of tiny nut syndrome all year. I expect them to come back very hungry next year. On offense, I think we are good to go even if Driver and Clifton retire. But next year McCarthy has to get more inventive with Cobb, but that weapon was underutilized. We have all the pieces in place to be very good for the long haul, but we lost this game by a team that was more hungry than we were.

Being that it is hard to repeat as Super Bowl Champions is and should be no consolation. We were 15-1 during the regular season, a very successful regular season, but the season was a failure. Especially when you factor in that we were 15-1 in the regular season.

This team let themselves down, their coaches down, and us fans down with that uninspiring performance.

Losing doesn't bother me much, losing because the team beat themselves does. I'd rather the Packers have played their A game and just came up short than them having eight drops and three turnovers.

27th over all selection, either an OL or pass rush specialist.
