The "I'm Not Freaking Out" Thread

[JWsleep]

Just glanced over at extremekins--the number of "sky is falling" threads is just AMAZING to me. An NFL season is 16 games. You look at your schedule, and you see how you can likely get the wins you need. My god, we're 3-2 with SF at home on deck. My guess is we'll likely be 4-2 after next week, and we'll see a lot of "we're gonna win it all" threads. COme on. You have to have an even keel here. Yes, the loses suck, and especially when we see that they were games we could have won. But there are signs here of a good offense. And, yes, our D has slipped in the last two. But we played two excellent offenses, on the road (at mile high and Arrow head, no less)--unless you're the 72 Fins, you're going to lose some games.

Here's the solution--win the games you should, pull out a few close ones on the road, and get better every week. Then, come December, lets see where we stand. The sky is not falling. Williams is still a good coordinator. Brunnell is still a good QB. Samules is still a good LT. Etc. What wins games is error free, tough, smart football. We've got the players and coaches to do it, but we are not there yet. BUt I am optimistic.
