I guess I'm not entirely finding good in the loss, moreso noticing that something that is usually good happened, yet we still lost. Eh, screw it.Mr. S£im Citrus said:

Twelve point lead blown in the final four minutes, on the other hand...HndsmCelt said:
If this was 1 tough loss I would agree, but the fact is they have had so many games to prove themselves; Seattle, Dallas, San Antonio, Minny X 2, and now Miami.HndsmCelt said:
Prove themselves?SacTownKid said:
Yes but certain teams are seen as a measuring stick, these are the teams that WILL be in the playoffs. All the teams I mentioned before WILL be in the playoffs. If we can't beat them now, what does that say for later. I am not giving up yet and I hope we turn it around, but if we don't win against the top teams I won't be confident going into the playoffs and I would think there would be lingering doubt within the players themselves (Just look at the frustration on Webbs face when going into halftime).VF21 said:Prove themselves?
It's December. We're building, learning, growing as a team. They've already proven a lot to me and I expect them to prove even more by the time the playoffs role around.
Look at it this way. They're in the 2004-2005 school year. They've had some tests. There will be 82 tests before the class is over. Each of the tests counts the same. They've done pretty well on quite a few; they've done less well on others. Overall, they still have a pretty good grade going for the class. At the end of the year is when you expect them to have amassed the most knowledge so that they can do well on the final exam.
Tests = season games. Final exam = playoffs.
) are less or more important than games against other opponents. A lot of things will happen between now and April. We'll lose more games. We'll lose some we should have won. It happens to every single team in the league. That's why they actually make the teams play the games...
As many as it takes. School will not be out untill April... Again I'd rather see them making mistakes and developing players now than in March. This was one loss against the top team in the East, the team had momnets of looking great out there, and yes blew some leads. The ood news is that they not only buit up a lead but dug out of the whole. Against weaker teams they have been better about closing out games so although I am not happy to see the loss I am not too worried.webberfan said:
