    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm amazed how often the team switches from heartless/gutless to full of heart/full of guts, at least in terms of what is posted.

    And that's not just a MIXUM thing, either.

    Anyway, I think it's a pretty emotionally and mentally strong group of players and there's a lot of talent. It's a testament to both their talent and toughness that they can survive these huge losses to injury to beat good teams.

    I... what? I'm just going to go sit in a corner and wait for the universe to implode because clearly this is the end of life.

    MIXUM says nice things once in a while. You can interpret that cynically or generously, as you will. ;)

    I believe this to be clear evidence that the Mayans were more than two full years off on their so-called "calculations."

    This team IS special. It's mind-boggling to think of the obstacles they've overcome.

    Maybe because the team itself has such a split personality? :dunno:

    Or maybe some of the fans assume every win and loss is a referendum on character, rather than the ups and downs of competition?

    On this board, sometimes it doesn't seem possible to lose a game and NOT be a heartless, gutless choker who doesn't care. ;)

    Creepy.

    It's like seeing Wednesday Addams smile.

    True enough, but there is no denying this team is unpredictable.

    Against Dallas, they let adversity distract them. Today, they let it inspire them.

    I selfishly prefer the latter! :devilwink:
