I'm afraid we're in trouble.

Since they haven't played a game yet this year, Optimistic or pessimistic is a matter of choice.
You can be optimistic and focus on what looks to be improvements on the DLine, a rookie safety that looks to be a beast, a major addition to the corners etc...
or
You can be pessimistic and focus on the entire D trying to learn a new scheme, some of the same players that played horribly last year are still here this year, our starting outside linebackers haven't played a single down in preseason, etc...

All of that is true so ether way you look at it, you're right, so you're just being a realist.

I'll choose to be optimistic because, in my opinion, it's more fun.

I prefer realistic and keep in mind that I have, in the past, been optimistic heading into seasons. I was VERY optimistic in 2009 becasuse we looked so dominant in the preseason. Anyway, I usually start out a season with a post like this to make sure I have all the right people on my ignore list before the games start.

... now that's just f'ing funny right there,

... it's good to consider all possibilities and poydras IS the Team Doctor, but this is a 10-win team ... it may not be pretty, there'll be bumps in the road and you may lose a few fans from heart attack along the way, but when all's-said-and-done, there gonna' be at least 10 in the win-column ... bet.

Just you put on your shades young lady - the future is bright and the sun rises on Sunday. Don't make me have to get all "choupique" up in here before we even play our first game.

Nobody likes me when I'm angry...
