The simple truth is they aren't winning the SB 100% of the time and repeating is incredibly difficult... losing this weekend doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things, I guess is the point.
We aren't left with "why the **** can't they beat the Bengals" (had they lost last year) or "shit, they've hosted 5 AFCCGs and lost 3 of them".
And at the very least, it just means they aren't the clear favorite this year, which is going to happen sometimes. If they had been scoring 30ppg all year with this defense, we'd all be expecting another SB, because how the hell could we not... well, they aren't so I'm not... that's really it for me.

Agree. My “house money” talk is about my feeling as a fan.
I hope the team doesn’t feel that way for a second. I want them going in expecting to win, not just being happy to make it this far.
