in the NFL...every team can beat another on Any Given Sunday....and being consistent is very very hard in sports.
There are ups & downs in football as there is in life and I think sometimes folks want these teams we love to perform like automatons/robots than realize they are humans.
Think if the US was in a war and the press covered every day of combat and gave grades out to generals for how their soldiers have fought?? Yikes.
Or following the stock market every minute.....those things are up & down by nature...it's the longer arc of time that defines meaning. imo
We have to be careful in realizing criticism is a good thing but can be counter-productive when overused...
sometimes, a loss is a loss and not indicative of some underlying problem. Other times...maybe there is a problem.
However, I don't see that in this instance of team success. Our team has not lost 2 straight in 2 years.
