My 2 cents on why I avoid these forecasts/scenario analysis:
I learnt early to live in the present and not spend (waste?
) time thinking or speculating about things that are beyond my control - which fits so well into BB's mantra of focusing on just this week's game and not be concerned what happens after that.
Initially I thought I am just too simplistic to follow that kind of a attitude; I mean, what fun is there as a fan to just focus on Miami and not look ahead? But the more I learnt to ignore/analyze the fascinating possibilities of what the future beholds for our team and what all we could achive, I realized that I am able to handle the emotions of each week far better. For example: I was devasted when Brady went down but was surprised to see how quickly I learnt to keep that aside and focus on how MC is doing.
And, it dawned to me that by keeping my hopes of another unbeated season + SB champion at the back burner, I had effectively tuned myself to tackle the adversities better.
What crap! Sorry guys, I woke up a bit early this morning and had early morning hangover.
Please ignore my philosophical rant.
I understand that fans are free to speculate and voice about anything under the sun and fully support it. So, please don't mistake my post as a knock on those responding to this thread.
GO PATS!! and have a nice day!
