Just stating the obvious. I went on to post my admittedly optimmistic "predict the score" prediction, and saw that everybody joined me in their optimism. Granted, we've seen in the last two games that we can beat up bad teams really efficiently. HOWEVER...
The "what if" is starting to loom large. What if, on MNF, in front of a national audience, we just STINK?
Man, don't you guys feel like we're bickering about the wrong thing?
Then I realized, let's pretend we do lose on Monday. What will people be doing? You'll have pro-Zappers saying it's Jones' fault, if Jones is in at QB. You have Jonesers saying Zappe's luck ran out, and not only he but Patricia and BB and maybe Judge suck. Everything goes back to which characters in the WWE version of the same team we are rooting for.
Wow. Is this what we are? For that matter, is this what we've always been and I just don't remember? Were we all yipping at Charlie Weiss and Romeo Crennel before they left town? I remember all the Drew love dissipated, for obvious and good reasons. I almost feel like if one of our 2 proto-phenoms pulled a Brady, half of us would be mad about it.
Okay, soapbox over & I hope we beat the Bears, who are the real other team this Monday. (I hope we're not representative of anything the team thinks about.)
