I said that this team looked like the Norv era Skins because they did yesterday. I agree with your general sentiment, but there seem to be a number of groups within the people who are complaining about the loss. At least a few people think this is an example of why Gibbs can't win and the team won't be good. Others, like myself, believe yesterday was a blip on the radar, but it could have easily been prevented. I don't want anyone fired. I think this team is heading in the right direction and they will continue to improve because Campbell will continue to improve.

I would not have been happy if they won in OT yesterday, I would have been happy about 3-0, but I'd be pissed that it got that far. I think there are some people who take these things to the extremes, but to act like we shouldn't still be talking about the game the day after it occurred is a little unrealistic, especially considering they don't play again for 2 weeks.

Fair points. I didn't mean to attack everyone who had something negative to say about some aspect of the game. I also tried, in a subsequent post, to clarify that my post was not directed towards those who make their points calmly and with some serious thought/analysis. My post was solely aimed at those who have nothing meaningful to add to these discussions.

I understand that and my thought in the post was to try to get you to clarify that and make clear my stance. I figured your post was not a slap at everyone. I had a similar conversation to this with a friend of mine earlier about how ridiculous these "jump off a building" Skins fans are. It was one loss that shouldn't have happened and as long as it's not a harbinger of things to come then it's not a big deal. However, I think some people see this as an indication of that Skins team that beats all the right teams and loses to all the wrong ones. I have to admit that I'm nervous about that, but still optimistic that this team will not be like that one.
