Hey everyone. First post here. Hope you all are doing well this Friday evening!
So after the lack-luster start to the 2014 season, I was quite moved to hear about them having a team meeting. I was further moved when I heard that the main subject of the meeting was to talk about unity. To start playing for one another. Being a team that had each others backs.
And look what happened. Some incredible games and a great win streak.
And don't even talk to me about the NFC championship game. I believed I witnessed a miracle during that game. In fact, I still go back and watch the highlights of the Green Bay game on average of a few times a month.
And with that win, we ultimately go back to the big show.
Then of course we all know what happened. The play.
I recall hearing a lot of talk and speculation about the play tearing the team apart. That there was blame being spread around all over the place regarding the play call, Bevell, Lynch resentment, was Wilson being unfairly setup for MVP (and it failed), yada yada yada.
It seemed after a few weeks, all the talk of finger pointing and resentment went away and it seemed the team was still a team. This was further bolstered by the Hawaii trip put on by RW3 and the accompaniment of the defense.
All seemed right.
But I don't know, here lately it seems that the unity factor is slowly being broken down. Not sure if it's residual from the SB play or is it just offseason posturing. But something doesn't seem right.
Statements from people like Bennett and Irvin. JS and RW3's private wizzing match turning into public subtleties and veiled jabs. Here a tweet, there a tweet, everywhere a tweet tweet.
I guess I just feel that the incredibly awesome unity that propelled them forward to an almost magical season as a team is fracturing.
Am I just reading into a bunch of stuff because it's the offseason? Or does anyone else feel that there may be some truth behind the feelings of disunity?
Thanks for reading.
