This team is being constructed to "win now".....expectations are high, just as they always are this time of year. The thing to watch for will be the fan reaction if this outfit does not perform to the expectations.

Honestly, haven't we always had a "win now" mentality? or the "1 big player away from the superbowl?"

I honestly can't remember 1 year where anyone ever said we are preparing for the future.

Things seem no different now than with Snyderato....Old players being signed, trading draft picks, win now, etc....

Well!! I said when I first heard Bruce Allen was coming aboard, we were going to get older quickly, and draft picks were not going to be a plenty. My season ticket package was littered with "The Future Is Now" so reminiscent of the past.
