SS, then what do you think about sports analysts who say things like:

- The Redskins made a mistake by switching to the 3-4
- Getting McNabb was not a good idea
- The whole Haynesworth saga was dragged out by MS
- What are they thinking by benching McNabb
- This team is not good at anything and are headed in the wrong direction

I try to be positive about the team, but then I hear people like Matt Williamson (who I think is a pretty good analyst) say that this team is going in the wrong direction and that they are terrible, it's hard to keep any positivity.

You're right, fans are stupid, and we all say our share of stupid things. But it's just pretty damn hard to be positive about the team and agree with what the coach is doing.
