I actually do believe in that. People get used to losing. They start to expect it. I think attitude can have a lot to do with success, and expecting things to go badly often leads to things going badly. It's a momentum thing, once the snowball gets rolling. And I think we've been a team for a long time that always expects the other shoe to drop.
I also think the team is (and has been, since 1999) in dire need of a turn-around in culture. They've never been a team that can physically go out and just
beat somebody, not even during vermeil's best years.
And I don't know that it's had a real face-of-the-franchise leader in all that time either. Trent Green was probably the closest.
