wrikerjr, i doan think that you are getting my drift.
My point was about the perception that professional atheletes must maintain to perform at their highest levels of execution possible. I am speaking from and intangible perspective. From the type of mental toughness that is required to continue to "live the dream" and to "finish the task" set before them by their own inner fires.
The fires of drive, dedication, and discipline are stoked by victory and defeat. They are never extinguished and they can be fueled by many variables the middle of which is the outcome of THE GAME. The great ones don't dwell on their triumphs or their defeats, instead they put them on the appropiate shelf and use them for the pursuit of their ultimate GOAL, A Championship!!!
While I agree that this one HURT and that they will be feeling it, true Dynasties are measured by the ways in which they handle the diversity that they will ALL face. BB will look at himself objectively, hopefully, and they will be the better team for it ~and in that event the rest of the League beware, because the FU2 Tour has already begun and the wagons are circling as we speak...............
Inconsequential, I think NOT! These Patriots will not fold up shop like the Rams before them, and the Cowboys of the 90's. We are currently in the middle of what most lucid and educated experts agree is a Dynasty of epic and historic proportions. Does this latest debacle effect them? Most assuredly! Will they allow it to define them? Most definitely, NOT!!
