The Loss is Good for Us

As we got closer to this weekend, I felt less confident about a sure win. For one, the cardinals aren’t a bad team. They are top 40 percent of teams, at least, in my book. And that defense is pretty good.

That said, if we are who we said we are, we should have been able.to beat them.

Diggs out takes away our chances of being undefeated this year.

That’s all it does. We had about 1.5 percent chance to go undefeated this year. Not very likely, but not completely impossible. If all three chips fell in the right place, the Cowboys could have been undefeated.

Diggs got hurt, that brings your chances to .25. Not because Diggs is the best ever. You just need to cover your backside 90 percent of the time, if you’re ever going to go undefeated.

Let’s be real tho. Diggs may not be the best ever. But he does fall in the category of great.

But even the best teams lose games.

The smartest people lose at whatever it is they do the best.

They learn from it. They makes sure whatever beat them doesn’t beat them again, ateast not by the same manner and means the element that beat you last time . . . Not by the same manner and means….

We’re a good team.

Are we the best? The best teams play as a team together. They get on the same page as a team and forget about the individual accolades. They win as a team. Don’t let the individual losses hirt you. Use them as stepping stones not to get beat.

After those first two tough wins, we came in versus Arizona a little cocktail even with our 3/5thths of our offensive line out we should have beaten them.

Wr didn’t.

Just don’t let that happen again and that’s one less way they can beat us.

You can’t control everything. But you can come in and control the tempo, the narrative and the pace of the game. That is, if you’re playing with the right energy. And if you’re not, then you’ll be susceptible to defeat.

Just like all of us our human. Teams are made of humans I usually find myself on the humans and do my best to relate with the so called least among us. Do I find myself in that group? Probably not as much as I think about what I can do to at least not have the least.

We can’t dictate what the opposition was. But you can get a feel of what it takes to beat the highest opposition possible, if you face the highest opposition.

The most worthy opponents treat every victory same as defeat.

A loss only makes you better, if you allow it.

Sometimes a loss is a win, and a win is loss. Let this be that, and it’s all good.

17 games…
