Blow out or close loss?

[bsfins]

All losing is Bad,But would you rather Lose big 31 -10 or lose by realy close like 28-27?

I'd rather lose Big, Because then I got my ass kicked...I fell like I can look at the tape,and say We got beat here,here,here,and here....Big Plays,Whatever....

If I lose by one lousy point...I feel like It's harder to make changes,because now you're questioning every little decision...You were that Close,Maybe one cath,One extra umph away from the win....

Ohh shit..I gotta run..I'm late...I'm the White Rabbit today!

Close.

I'd rather have my team looked at as equally as good as the other. Getting blown out IMO makes you look like you have no idea what you're doing and had no reason to be on the same field as the other team/coach. I was asked if I'd rather be 1-15 or lose the Super Bowl like the Pats...  sorry I'm in the minority (and I know it) but I'd rather be 2nd best, than a total joke (literally). Yeah, in the end they didn't win it, like Miami, but at least they had the chance to play for it. That's just me.

I think it's more productive to lose a close game. Odds are, if you were blown out, you sucked at pretty much everything. It's hard to go into the film room and practise - and have to correct EVERYTHING. It's a lot easier when you can just point out a few things that need to be "fixed" to start winning some games.

A close loss may hurt more, but I think it's the more productive loss.

i feel better today than i did after the jets game

so if you're going to lose i'd rather it be a blow out

I would rather have a close loss.  At least I can feel better about the team's performance.  Blowouts just destroy your confidence.

Losing sucks.

Getting blown out is almost comical.  Losing close is terrible.

I actually feel worse about games that are close because 1 play could have made the difference. In blowouts at some point you just say this is a joke. one or two plays will not make the difference so for me it is easier to swallow just getting our asses handed to us. Same thing goes for me when I play softball. If we are going to lose beat our asses. I don't want to lose by 1 because of a throwing error to 1st base. That is much larger pill that is harder to swallow.

I'd rather lose close.  At least then its a good game.  Watching a game that's 31-3 isn't entertaining at all.
