i pretty much love everyone who pays attention to me <| sep |> Chiefs did that this year . Unfortunately it failed . <| sep |> Meh . Football is like the other sports where the playoffs tend to be a different sport than the regular season basketball being the best version of this , IMO . It isnt guaranteed that a team built to win in the regular season is built to win in the post season . Dallas and New England are going to be in the same spot . all evidence suggests its very hard to win in the playoffs with a below average defenses . Is it just because the teams are better , or is it because the mental game changes as well , in a way that cant be replicated in the regular season ? Especially in Dallas ' s case with Dak . frankly nobody knows how he and zeke , the o line , etc will handle the increase pressure ifwhen Dallas is down going to the end of the game . There is plenty of evidence of one mistake seemingly ' throwing off ' a player for the rest of the gamegetting in their head . Will this happen . nobody knows either way Dallas fans save your assertions of how ' composed ' he was in other parts of this season , Im completely uninterested and its not relevant to my point . But like most players and teams on a roll the good things Dallas does is being overblown a bit , and the bad things are getting glossed over too much . In the NFL there is a razor thin line between winning by 10 and losing by 10 IMO . the idea fans want so dearly to believe , that ' good ' teams are so much better and so much more talented than ' bad ' teams tends to be a myth IMO , of course
