Everyone keeps acting like we are promised something next year.

We are not. That is what makes losing in the SB so horrible. 

Nothing is promised. See, the team whose stadium we played in today.

For all we know, next year Drew Brees gets a defense and NO wins, or Lovie Smith (I doubt it) was really holding the Bucs back and they win the division, or Vic Beasley turns into a monster and Jones turns into prime Jerry Rice/Moss and Atlanta wins.

Nothing is promised to you, and that is what will hurt the most.

 

EDIT: Oh, and it is also possible that one of our key player goes down with a major season-ending injury and we fall apart unlike this season.

That is a possibility too.

Would you rather we say 8-8 at home for the playoffs?  Jesus what is wrong with being optimistic?  I mean it's not like other team's haven't gone to back to back Super Bowls.  And our window just opened.

So in other words we're the San Francisco 49ers all over again?

Sure as poo is possible.  So much is the playoffs is up to chance.  Honestly, how many times in the last ten years has the best team won?  Seahawks in '13.  Who else?

The difference between us and the 49ers though is that Cam is no clown that is gonna disappear.  We will always contend with him.  That being said, if playing the odds, us losing in the NFCCG is a good bet.

No, there is nothing wrong with being optimistic. And of course we could be back next year...

But unfortunately history is littered with teams who haven't.

Just would have loved for us to seize this unexpected moment and win one.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol Honestly, it might sound dumb, but I've had this idea in my head of a specific picture I really want to get with him since draft night. Basically I want it to be of the two of us sitting on the floor next to each other with the picture from behind.  Ideally it would have been with us both wearing T-Mac jerseys (and me wearing an Arizona hat that has block A logo on the back of it too), but since they won't have baby versions of those for a bit and that does seem like a waste of money on something he'll grow out of in a few months, I think I'll go with this that I've found on Amazon for like 12 bucks........ I'll get this made with T-Mac's #4 but then my Nephew's first name (which incidentally starts with a T, so I've already joked to my sister that she needs to change his middle name to something with "Mc" or "Mac" in it so i can call him T-Mac lol) Just think that would make for a really cool picture for me to have of him at this age (just over 13 months now), with the two of us wearing our #4's.  It's the type of thing I can absolutely see myself getting it printed out by Shutterfly on one of those canvas like prints to hang on my wall. And seeing as they live in NYC with me in Michigan, not sure the next time I'll see him again as I can't just drive on down the street for a picture when the jersey arrives, so was hoping I'd be able to take advantage of seeing them at the end of the month to get this picture, but it would all be dependent on the jersey (and this custom onesie) being shipped in time.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      His piece of the pie is only going to get smaller unless there are serious injuries.  Unless the actual pie becomes that much larger, ie Bryce being Kurt Warner, I don't think there's room for him to breakout.  Just like there's not room for JT Sanders to break out beyond a couple hundred yards receiving and a few TDs. I don't think a lot of people understand the volume that XL got last year.
