Doesn't mean I hate the coach, GM or even certain players. Would you be happy with 5, 6 or 7 years down the road with a 7-10, 8-9, 9-8 maybe 10-7 record with no realistic chance of producing a SB? And I know you will say there's always a chance, but come on.

Another analogy:

You can want with every fiber of your being to date a "10", but that doesn't mean that a "10" is attainable for you. Nice to have, but not realistic... especially when you're a "5" or "6"!

The fact is that you may realistically have a shot at a "7" or "8". So the bigger question remains... are you REALLY going to blow up everything and hold out for that "10" instead of shooting your shot for what you can reasonably expect to get? Or do you wreck shop praying for a miracle?

Discuss.

You walk into the dance and grab the 10 and look into her eyes and say, thank you for waiting (because you’re a gentleman) and you do the Tango with your trousers down around your ankles. You walk into the schoolyard and look around for the bully, and walk up to him and punch him in the mouth. You go for it on 4th and long. You do the freak onside kick, you strip the ball and run it back for a TD… or… you stay home and masturbate.

The great football fandom paradox. Keep grinding to get to the top of the mountain, adding here adding there, or after years of trying you blow it up and try acknew. I used to think (back in the day) I'd go to bed with a 10 but would end up with a 2. Those that believe we are close opt for the 7 or 8 and those that don't keep swinging for the 10, keep swinging for the 10. I've never been a fan of blowing up the house, but not so sure we aren't getting close, Think this year everyone should be looking over their shoulders pretty close.
