The best teams DO tend to win every game. Granted that average teams do come around and beat the best teams but it's only because the average teams are working on all cylinders for that one game. Can you say with the killer injuries we have faced over the past 8 weeks that we're working on all cylinders? No. I'm not saying we're not going to win or that we're incapable of winning the game. We have pulled Hail Mary's out our ass before and I know we can do it again, but the odds are stacked against us. The kool-aid drinkers see these odds and throws them out the window. The average schmo like me, that only drinks the kool-aid every now and then, sees the odds, the injuries, the 2nd half meltdowns and goes, "Oh shit."
The fact of the matter is, we have a very slim chance of winning. Whilst the chance is always there, it's just a matter of are we going to seize it? Lately that answer is no and we've played very mediocre teams (Minus the Pats). Against a very strong Cowboys team that chance becomes even slimmer.
I don't think how people feel about the odds of us winning even matters around here. It's all for shits and giggles. I don't think anyone here would even bother trying to predict odds if they didn't bleed burgandy and gold. Isn't that what matters at the end of the day anyway?
