Winning ugly... it's our thing. And I finally accept it

The first four weeks of the season, I was insanely frustrated because we weren't blowing out teams we should blow out. But guess what? We won all those games. And we're still winning games. And we haven't lost any games yet this season. Would it be nice to blow someone out and play flawlessly? Of course it would. But I've finally accepted the fact that, as long as we win... who cares how we do it? All that matters is the W. And we have six of them so far this season... along with ZERO losses. So keep on winning ugly, loves of my life. Because you're WINNING. And that's what's most important.

We play a slow game, via Defense and Running the ball.   the good news is that it will keep us in every game, bad news is it will keep the Other team in the game, but unless they can run the ball better then us or play defense better then us, it's not going to matter and we will win.  

So far we havent played anyone that has been able to dictate the game to us, we've been the team that's been setting the pace. I'm curious to see what happens when we play Green Bay, our Defense is sneakly elite, we have 4 players on Defense that should be leading the NFC voting(Short, Norman, Luke, Davis), and that's a scary level of talent considering.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
