I have really been thinking hoping for the opposite. Usually we get our butts kicked in a loss and then turn around the next week. I've never heard Tomlin sound like he did after that game Wednesday -- even the "unleash hell" speech was just words, not emotion. The four day turn around is the piece that kinda sucks, but also leaves the salt on the wounds a little longer. But I am hoping we come out on fire and try to get this one over with quickly. 

My view of Tomlin's motivation has always been that he views his players as grown men and that football is truly their job. Grown men shouldnt need motivation to do their job.....but 20'somethings do hear and read things. I think that's why we are flat when we are strongly favored (players believe the cake walk) and play up when the competition is strong. They have spent the last couple days hearing how overrated they are and Wednesday is the validation that opinion needs. After a lot of teams struggled yesterday, they have a prime time (kinda?) opportunity to shut that down. I think players stand up to that. 

....I hope players stand up to that....

 

Nevermind.

Tough defense. Get some yards and trust the D.

I don’t know, man. I don’t buy that. This is their job. As soon as the ball is kicked, you gotta be in the right mind set. Like I get it, but this isn’t high school where your concerned about your AP history test on a Thursday after a Wednesay game. This is it. This is your life. If your not ready, start considering bagging groceries.

I don’t disagree with it but in season these guys body clocks are used to certain things. Playing on a Monday their body’s aren’t used to this time. I’m not saying it as an excuse. Just stating it.
