like "they have our number, 6 loses in a row", or "we need the fans, don't sell out the the enemy", or "Refs in this game throw a lot of flags, 2-4 in Ram games, 9-8 in whiner games, the refs may favor the whiners".......Stuff like this sound like excuses, built in, thought out reasons before the game is played.
It's also like this...."after 6 wins you are due a loss, it's coming now", or "let them buy up the seats, the RAMS play well many times under enemy crowds, it would be a blessing to see them leave the seats empty, broken, and a sh^ty trip home", and "hey the Refs can stop momentum, they can give a hand, but a determined team can and has overcome that, play smart, play alert, that leads to playing clean".
Every excuse can be erased with execution and determination and positive vibes, excuses admit weakness, failure......No way can a team from the north of the State come to the greatest Stadium the World offers, and put the history books 1st Chapter of SoFi with that team.....No way can that happen, it's not going to happen.....no excuses, replaced with achievements.....
