OK, enough of all this happiness. We've forgotten some absolute TRUTHS.
Shape up gang. Antidepressant sales have plummeted in NE in just 24 hours. We are killing the economy.
1. Our OLB's can't set the edge or rush the passer.
2. Once again, we've lost our best DE and we won't be able to set the edge or stop the run.
3. Mayo isn't the player he was before the injury. He's just average now, and Spikes is a rookie that can't play the pass, and Guyton can't play the run.
4. We've lost our best CB and one of the safeties that started multiple games last year to injury, and are replacing them with a rookie and second year player. We can't possibly stop the pass.
5. The OL was average at best before losing Mankins and now will be below average.
6. We can't run the ball with a poor OL and a bunch of mediocre, old RB's.
7. Welker is coming back too soon and won't be nearly as effective.
8. Crumpler is fat and slow.
9. Brady is over the hill and still scared from the knee injury. Plus, his reactions clearly have dimmed as he showed by getting into a car accident.
10. BB is past his prime and our schemes are too out of date to be competitive. The defense is too conservative and soft, and the offense is too unimaginative (Brady to Welker, over and over again).

Overreacting based upon one win is no better than overreacting based upon one loss.

True, of course. But putting aside over-exuberance, putting aside reading too much into it for the future...didn't that game just feel GREAT? What a wonderful reminder of the sheer joy of watching a football team play well. Creative game planning, no turnovers, no sacks, precise passes, everybody seemingly on the same page. That's a feeling worth savoring.

My wife asked me to "stop whooping so much" because I kept waking up the foster puppies three rooms away.

The game felt great, no question. The negatives, of any kind, were few and far between, and there were reasons to be happy with all three phases of the game.

If I may, a small suggestion in that superb summation.
