That whole damn Chargers game I was just frustrated and knew better. "Man, this is bad. We suck at everything. And NONE of it matters because we're still gonna win somehow..."
Just didn't wanna do that again. I wanted to be able to fast forward to the good bits. Just watch the first half, get annoyed, find something else to do and come back for the last 5 minutes.
"Enjoy the ride" just isn't in my DNA.
Suppose that really just makes me something of a miserable SOB but as the brilliant Marshall Poole once said in one of our nations greatest offerings to class and culture -- Open Range -- "I know it. That's just the way it is..."
At least you don’t let your misery drive you to uneducated and irrational takes.
Now we might need to work on your “verbally abusing” some of these others, you hyperbolic sonofabitch. :-) [Reply]

Agreed. Can someone cryostasis me or give me a time machine to next Saturday, please? [Reply]

There's a difference in evaluating a move after the fact and talking about it before it happens.
If anything that Super Bowl proves the point - you want your best out there, not a bunch of guys playing out of position. [Reply]

Oh for fucks’s sake, as if the love of hyperbole in this discussion isn’t enough, we also seem to have a strong dislike of context.
That OL situation was one riddled with injuries and I’m not sure there was a “right” way to set it up for success. It is apples and oranges to the current situation. [Reply]

It's mind-blowing. In the old era, if we faced a very good team in the regular season, forget in the playoffs, we would be needing everything to go perfect to even have a fighting chance. Even then we lost a lot. And the playoffs we lost every single time.
Now we are beating good teams half the time without even trying or at least without even playing well. And that's happening in the freaking playoffs as well. This is an era I never thought we'd live in. But to your original point once you are used to living in it, as is everything in life, sometimes you lose perspective. [Reply]
