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

Sun Tzu was someone teaching people how to fight a war and win. He was speaking to the people doing the fighting. He wasn't speaking to the civilians who stand by and watch the wars.

Dude, you're a fan. Whether or not you consider the possibility of losing has NO BEARING on the team's level of focus. They will surely not consider defeat an option. But you can, and trust me, it won't affect how they play. Whatever you do, or whatever we discuss here on the Warpath, it won't distract from the team's performance.

Put down the books and come back to reality.

A couple things for you my friend. Sun Tzu and whole bunch of other philosophers weren't just talking to the soldiers who fight wars. They were talking about philosophies of life. I'm just applying one aspect to this game. It sounds like you need to pick up some books and give them more than a cursory/superficial look. Up until this point this thread has been respectful, but please don't tell me how or what I should think.

Pot, meet kettle.

Perhaps you should heed your own advice, given that you told Matty he shouldn't even be thinking about or discussing the possibility of losing.

It's nice that you're applying it to the game, but perhaps you can explain why you're applying it to yourself as a fan of the team?
