Not sure that was a sentence, but for the record I never accused you (if you're saying I did). And Lotus never seriously did either.

It's called being objective. Why the hell should I be blindly happy and acting like we're the Colts or the Pats of the early or mid 2000s when I'm clearly going to be setting myself up for MAJOR disappointment?

Who's blindly happy? Do you even recognize the thread you're posting in? Have you actually read any of it? No one here is saying we're marching straight to the Super Bowl

Hell, we were one Jason Avant drop from being 1-3. That cannot go on for every game for the rest of the season if they really want to compete into January. I already was hyper optimistic during the Zorn years, and that failed to deliver because I was too willing to sweep flaws under the rug.

We were also one Armstrong trip away from a 21-0 lead, one Carlos Rogers interception away from that Avant throw never happening, one Heyer false start away from Rogers not even needing to be back on the field.

The "Emperor has no clothes" is a disgusting attitude and I'm not going to be adopting it no matter how much people try to goad me into it. It's not objective, it's delusion.

Again, do you even realize what thread you're posting in?

I had absolutely no idea Kolb was going to come in when I was making my predictions.

And that would have changed your prediction?
