What if we lose to Dallas and don't make the playoffs?

Why don't you knock it off
with them negative waves?

Why don't you dig
how beautiful it is out here?

Why don't you say something righteous
and hopeful for a change?

It's got nothing to do with being negative. I'm just wondering how we will deal with a loss.

And that's not negative? Not even a smidgen? If defeat is not an option, then there is no reason to talk about it.

It's called reality. Face it we're either going to win or lose this game. No sense in denying what could happen.

Reality is that the Skins have the power to control their own destiny. If they believe they are going to win and have made the prepartions to do so, they will win. Gibbs and crew will definitely have them ready. So... I'm not denying anything. Defeat simply isn't part of the equation to begin with so there is no sense in talking about it. BTW... are you denying that the teams could tie?

Actually defeat is an option. We could either win or lose this game.

That phrase, "defeat is not an option", is just something people tell themselves to stay focused. And rightfully so, that's the attitude the players should take. But we're not the players, we're the fans. We can consider the reality that we could lose the game.

It's important to think about and puts the season in perspective.
