that’s the sort of move you make when you know you’re in the “dynasty” conversation and you wake up at 5am every day and drink coffee and turn on sportscentre and watch them jerk off to tom brady because you’re treating this like a Job where you think about your Career and Legacy vs going out there and heaving the pigskin and stringing plays together

that’s the sort of move you make when you’re far too overconfident. they talk about us on ESPN! i have a button down and an office, we can’t possibly lose, making this smart, calculated decision!

we could’ve had 2 rings in 3 years but nooo.

these sort of over-cautious moves are always made by people who spend their day staring at a spreadsheet and think that a record is just math, clean precise numbers. no, we don’t have any stats to measure if players playing for a perfect season play that much harder, that’s just noise and hype, that’s obviously extraneous to the Xs and Os, so we can just ignore that.

obviously we have no way of knowing, if we were going for 19-0, would baskett hold onto the football at the bottom of the pile, would peyton see porter jumping the route…so good thing we played it safe and have plausible deniability.

love being 15-0 and getting booed off the field at home over the holidays. good shit right there.
