The problem with continuously shitting yourself as this team has continued to do for a decade now, is that you subsequently put yourself into a hole, and have increased pressure on you to get out of it.
Then, because you are in pressure situations, you're much more likely to shit yourselves again.
Imagine that Mike an Aaron weren't gutless cowards in week 1, and/or actually had this team ready to play early in the season. We'd have beaten the Seahawks and have home field advantage. The Panthers were much easier to beat than the Gurlz. Even without the self shitting.
But it sets you up for a self defeating spiral of repeated self shitting. As Lombardi says, winning is a habit. So is losing.
“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”
