We've been shitty for how long now? and we are all still true to our team, so lets stop the negativity and lift up our team and city. Lets forget that bullshit Eagles game and Beat the motherf*king cowboys, or at least end romo's season if we're going to lose

I consider myself a realist, but definitely not a hater. We all look at well run organizations like New England and long for that sort of proficiency. As fans, we should be disappointed in the Gibbs 2.0 era that held such promise. With the exception of the brief 6 game run at the end of 2005, the Skins have underachieved significantly since Gibbs returned. Some of that is on the players, some of that is on the front office, and some of that is on coaching. We realists will cheer as loudly as anyone here if the team suddenly gets it right. Last offseason, the FO showed restraint during free agency, and we're actually showing signs that we would like to save draft picks to build depth through the draft. We have a number of solid young players, and the optimist in me says the future looks bright. Bottom line, being critical of underachievment doesn't make me or you a bad fan.
