3 different Emotions after 3 different Losses..

So I was smart and decided to go to the pumpkin patch with the family on the Sunday we played the Giants. I checked in on the game routinely and was able to chuckle in disbelief at what was going on - but my mental health was spared for an afternoon and I was truly able to enjoy my weekend. Needless to say, after that loss - I had the team written off and it was freeing. I wasn't depressed or really upset - I was completely comfortable and I knew I would not put another ounce of emotion into the team. For all intents and purposes, we were gearing up for the draft at that point.
NYG loss = Apathy

But somehow our .500 record and a win against a terrible Atlanta team kept a glimmer of hope alive inside me somewhere. I foolishly went into the game against the Pats thinking Darnold just might be able to game-manage us into a win if our defense played well. Looking back - I'm sure if I my eyes witnessed the Giants game - I would have known Darnold was reliable as a wet cardboard box... After the Pats game - I probably was feeling like a lot of you: my mouth agape while staring back at the wake of sh!t streaks this staff had just dragged across the living room carpet. Releasing Cam, signing Teddy, trading for Darnold, picking up his 5th year option, and so on.. My emotions were at an all-time low with this team.. However, I was not hurting.. I was angry and upset but there was no real pain. I was clear in my convictions of the staff and decision makers from top to bottom.
NE loss = Anger

Fast forward to signing Cam. I had off work for Veterans Day and was running errands and hadn't heard that we were toying with bringing him in - I just got the news right as we signed him. I don't believe I have felt that much joy in quite some time. To then back that up with the win in ARZ and the way it all went down. Then to have the buildup for a homecoming of a lifetime.. but walk out with a "L" is just.. The feelings are very raw and it hurts 100x more than the other 2 weeks.. I went on a walk after the game and tried to process it all.. Putting so much stock into something I have ZERO control over.. It seems so silly but I'm sure a lot of ya'll can relate..
WFT loss = Hurt

 

Anyways - I'm just venting and thought how weird it was after 3 losses from the same team to have such a vast difference in emotions afterwards.. Some huddlers might feel inclined to call me a b!tch or to "suck it up - it's just a game" = I hear you 100%.. noted.. I just wanted to get this out and move onto Miami..

After we lost 3 in a row my emotions went right back to where they were last year. Anger and disbelief. After each loss I think to my self. The coaches must watch the tape. It’s blatantly obvious what our issues are and yet every loss is the same fuging thing. 
 

We are coming up on 2 years with this staff and none of them have adjusted or fixed any of their glaring issues.

For me, Giants hurt, NE was pure apathy, and this WFT was the most infuriating loss I can remember in years because it set our team back 2 years.  good bye fans.  why the fug would fans go to the stadium, spend hundreds of dollars just to be pissed off and embarrassed by a guy who should be sackin groceries and a retread shithead ex coach whos only descernable talent is to ruin everyone in the carolinas days even when he no longer is here.  want to kill any momentum we had, well Matt rhule and that pathetic and worthless defensive showing just did it.  Prepared for our stadium to be over run by any and every visiting fanbase for the next few years.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
