Denver lost to San Diego last week. Is Denver done for the season? No.
Keep calm and carry on.
Way to put things in perspective. :th2thumbs:
It really shouldn't be necessary but forever will this fanbase focus on the negative because its their history to.
With that said I now realize why 49er fans resort to shoving Lombardis in our faces... because their history allows them to.
Our history makes everyone, mostly everyone abandon hope, mope around after every loss, and be highly critical of each player and what they aren't doing right all the while generating more and more great expectations after each win because we are selfish and want that damn Lombardi in Seattle.
And many of us think the season is already over after a couple of sub-par performances on offense, a couple of losses the past few weeks vs great teams, with great defenses, teams we had embarrassed a couple times each that last games we played vs them, so they were coming in with every thing had to assure a different result. Yet, Seahawks were in both games vs both divisional rivals until poor execution, error, mishaps, questionable calls and perhaps two greatly awesome plays , 1 by Gore and 1 by Floyd allowed those games to slip away from us at the end.
Does that make us beatable? Yes, but every team is beatable.
The 9ers for instance has lost to every great team they played save for the Cardinals and Seahawks @ the Candlestick (games against Divisional rivals they should probably win)
Seahawks blew out the 49ers and Saints at the Clink, we won convincingly enough at UoP in Glendale, a place we hadn't won at in years, we held a good Panthers team in check in their home stadium, Season Opener, in a 10 am start, in 95 degree heat, and not in full health... games we've historically been bad in and we won. I'm certain the Saints would have took a 12-7 win over the Panthers in a heart beat. Cardinals are likely better than any of the NFC N OR NFC E teams in a vacuum (even though they couldn't beat the Eagles in Philly). Even the Rams, who at 7-8 is the best 4th place team in any division by a long shot. They would be 2nd place in the AFC South and in 5 other divisions they would be at least be tied for 3rd place.
Winning is hard in the NFL. To expect that on top of perfection each and every week is impossible.
Just because we struggle doesn't make us a bad team, unworthy and unable of going the distance.... it just means a rather young team, 4th youngest in the NFL to start the season, still has plenty of things to work on, plenty of room to improve upon and get better to be as successful as they want to be.
