In all seriousness though, being smart has nothing to do with a person's outlook on things.
I can know it's gonna storm tomorrow. I can choose to have a good day anyway.
Know what I mean, Vern?

Personal bet then.
Put up your $11K that they don't, and I'll match it.
(just gotta figure out how to make a personal bet on here).
Oh, and the "Vern" reference is from a really bad movie. We don't have to get snarky with each other.

10-4. Sorry it didn't work out for you after making the trek.
I created the bet for us, but the max we can wager is $2K.

History tells us this team will fall out of the playoff hunt early BUT you gotta admit something is changing. Every week we clamor for a fix and i swear it seems the corrections are made, am I right? unfortunately we are still losing.
The playoff's are going to happen........ eventually.

With Trumaine Johnson in the line up, we'd have beaten the Lions.
With Michael Brockers in the line up and different play calls on one or two plays last week, we'd have beaten the Bills.
That's how close we were to 5-1.

Sometimes you lump games in to categories and I think
Category A= we are the better team.
Category B= maybe we can win if we don't make mistakes and get some breaks.
Category C= we are not close to the quality of the opponent, but Fisher wins some of these.
Category D= End of year, a playoff hopeful team, sometimes good things happen
We can beat NY Giants, and Palmer may not last the season, so the finale may b another victory.
A) 70-75% chance: I say we win 3 (if these 4)
*Jets, Miami, Saints, 49ers
B) 50-60% Chance: I say we win 1 (of these 2)
*NY Giants
*Carolina (a good team with bad corners, and bad attitude that will change soon)
C) The impossible belows: I say we win 1 (of these 3)
40% Falcons Well, we can beat the Falcons, like we beat the Saints in 2011 (with our first 3 corners hurt).
30% Patriots (If we play man up on these pesky Slot WRs we have a 60% chance---but you know we won't!)
20-40% Seattle We won 4 of 5 and Seattle will be playing for homefield. THeir dogfight game of the year.
D) The finale vs Cardinals: Hmmm to go 9-7 or 10-6?
Toss up
Our chance at 10-6 comes if we steal one from Falcons, Seattle or Pats, and win all 4 in category A.
Looks simple, it ain't, it's the NFL boyz.
Is this realistic with our offense....yes? Our D needs 100% health after the bye to go 9-7 or 10-6.

X, I'll try to miss your car on the way down.
Actually, as a fan since '79, if this team could have really made me jump, I'd have been a pancake a long time ago. I think my problem is I'm too optimistic - every year I start the season thinking this will be the year things have to improve. Just the law of averages says we shouldn't be inept forever - I need to remember it could be worse like that stretch in the '90s, or we could be like the Lions and never have seen a SB or like the Vikings and Bills, to see a bunch and come up empty.
It's just especially frustrating to be this close to playing winning football and somehow never getting it all together. Next week will be huge - maybe Beckham will be too preoccupied with his net to torch our secondary (some serious squirrels in that attic). I see a loss to the Giants unless our D is more healthy. That would leave us 3-4 and needing at least 6 of the next nine for a playoff run. Not impossible, but we'll definitely need to use the force!
