Us beating 4 playoff quality teams to win a ring would be like that. We have not beat a winning team this year. We are like Shaq making 4 of 8 free throws and now saying he can't miss from half court. We face the easiest schedule in the league that will not prepare us for the playoffs. We are an aging inconsistent .500 team against an all-time weak schedule that never plays dominantly except against gutter teams, squeaking out close wins and losses against mediocre teams, with a vulnerable oline, a middle of the road qb, a mediocre pass rush, a head coach who has never won a playoff game in 6 or so years career, a QB who has never won a playoff game in 10+ years career. Any given Sunday sure. Maybe Dallas or SF sleeps on us and has some injuries and we somehow pull out a miracle. The next week its Philly or Detroit and we are on the road again. It just isn't happening. Teams like this don't win it all.

There are not teams that are always dominant in the league but there are teams who often dominate and are capable of dominating or at least beating very good teams for 3-4 consecutive games in the playoffs. We are just not one of those teams. We are not capable of being dominant for a month. We are barely capable of stringing together 2 consecutive wins against the worst of the league.
SF just lost to Cleveland and Minnesota back to back. They might lose to the Bengals today resulting in three L’s in a row. They are the worse match up for us stylistically though. However, their stars are injury prone and Purdy ain’t all that.

Dallas hasn’t beat any impressive teams. Jets without Rodgers? They lost to the Cardinals. They got dismantled by the 49ers. They beat the same bad Pats team we did. Giants? Chargers? Rams? Nah…they haven’t beat a very good team. Styles make fights. Two weeks ago we lose this game and don’t convert in the red zone. We have to acknowledge improvement just as much as we acknowledge failure. Colts have played everybody tough this year.
