I was so in the dumps yesterday after Tunsil got hurt to add to all the line injuries and then I saw the Rams go up 10-0 and Goff scramble to convert a third-and-10. I just turned off the game. I just thought "Here we go again. Get my hopes up and then all this craziness happens that only seems to happen to the Dolphins and break my heart." I didn't even stay long enough to see the Goff run was negated.
I even was getting ready to come back on here and rationalize that it was for the best that we lost, because we're making progress but we need to add some talent through the draft to take the next big step.
Then my friend calls me about 45 minutes later and is like "What did you think of that? Can you believe it?" And he told me what happened.
I am happy to eat crow today. I am fighting getting overly optimistic just yet, but I keep getting a stronger and stronger feeling that we might have a new normal. Instead of losing games we should win, we are finding ways to pull out games that we probably should lose.
It's a hard adjustment after the opposite was drilled into my head over the last 15 years or so, but I think I can learn to live with it.
