    A Little Perspective

    In a short couple of years, we lost arguably our top 4 players and 2 best coaches.

    First the Shazier injury.

    Then the Bell saga.

    Then the Brown saga.

    Then Munchak leaves.

    Then Drake passes.

    And now Ben is out.


    What team could over come that in a short 3 year period losing all of their best players and coaches? Probably none.

    But you know what, some times you just have to say WTF and go out there and have fun.

    Our season starts now. Everyone needs to step up and pitch in. And when we play our first playoff game people will wonder, how did we get here. And when we bring home #7, people will be stunned and say once again WTF?

    There's no pressure.

    No expectations.

    A bunch of young kids.

    And the sky is their limit.

    Let's roll!!!!!!

              Why have perspective when you can have over wrought hysteria

                I think the trade for Fitzpatrick indicates that the front office's "perspective" is that we are still playing to win
                They don't have the luxury to quit like many "fans" on this board at the first sign of adversity. Too many damn Millennials!!!

                      Do you really think people are being hysterical?

                      I don't see how thinking a sports team might have a losing season for the first time in almost a decade and a half is delusional or overly pessimistic.

                        Yup
                        He thinks If you expect success in the playoffs, you're hysterical.
                        How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

                          No, I think "hysterical" is when you are screaming for people to be fired when you have absolutely no control or power in the matter and those who do don't care what you think.
