some people on this board are so quick to discount or laugh at anyone who thinks or wants to talk about something other than 40 times or specific plays . . . there are certain intangibles in this league that seperate a great player from a good player and great teams from good teams and lil bit of that involves the "heart" . . .but yeah anyone who thinks other than you is an idiot and clearly doesnt know football like you guys . . .give me a break

I agree with everything you said Mountain. I just don't think it applies to this team. I saw guys playing their ass off and don't believe for one minute we lost the game because of a lack of heart. But I do agree with you. I think Fletch for one plays with a lot of heart. I have seen teams pretty much give up and you can SEE they're not playing with heart. But I don't see that in OUR team and I think that's what's offensive about this thread.
