Just going to the 1988 49ers team - first Super Bowl team I thought of:
They lost games that season to Atlanta 34-17;
And looked very flat losing to Chicago 10-9 AND losing to the Raiders 9-3.
Again, perspective. I know we're not used to rooting for a good football team. But it's really unreasonable in an NFL season to never expect your team to be flat in a game or two - heck, maybe even 3 - and still be a Super Bowl caliber team. You don't go to extremes of being either the Patriots or the Browns. And even the Patriots will have a game they look flat and lose in this season. Just wait.
