A few thoughts on tonight’s game…and the season so far in general.
This was a champions game. What I mean by that is, as alluded to earlier by SkinsFTW, this was a mistake ridden game where we still dominated. This the kind of game I’ve seen the Chiefs or 49ers get done. Where there’s a confidence in the players where they’re like ‘okay, so fumble/interception. No biggie. Let’s just get it done.’
Nothing seems to phase this team yet. How many times have we seen the kinds of turnovers we had tonight completely derail us as a team. Not tonight.
Second, and this might just be my addled brain (I’m not very well tonight. Lack of sleep is a real issue!) but this year FEELS just very different. For the first time in forever this feels sustainable. It feels like getting rid of Dan and cleaning out this staff at all levels may have finally cleared out the bad juju.
I was lying here, thinking that we could seriously win the NFC East this year. And then, I thought about the curse. That no team has won it back to back in god knows how long. Then I considered…this team isn’t even a complete finished article yet. Peter’s and co are in year 1!
Then I started to get giddy at the thought of dominating the NFC East for a few years… I totally believe it could happen!
I know we have a long way to go, but just having these thoughts is a new experience for me. I don’t think I even thought about it during our Super Bowl years, just kind of expected it.
Dallas, Philly, and NY have to be concerned that we’re now going to be a significant obstacle for the foreseeable.
But not just that, we have to be on the radar of all the Super Bowl contenders now as a threat. If we keep this up, no one will want to play us in the playoffs if we get there.
Anyway, rambling because I’m tired and ill. Just had to get my stream of consciousness out of my head. 😂
