If you're positive, put your money where your mouth is and state you expect them to make the SB |

So I'd like to see us win a few games early instead of this 0-2 or 0-4 **** SP and the team has provided recently. ![]()

Like I said, just putting a positive spin on everything does nothing, absolutely nothing. There is a slow movement to stop that because companies are finding nothing is improving and everyone is scared to face the difficulties the company faces. Complaining is different than being honest. I am just not going to run around and be full of crap because it is positive and I can pretend I live at willy wonkas house and my **** sandwich is good.

While you may only have a **** sandwich, I have that angus burger already because I glean as much positive entertainment value out of the game as I possibly can. NOT putting a positive spin on everything as a fan does nothing, absolutely nothing. Since being critical, or negative, as a fan has no more of an impact on the final outcome than being positive, I choose the healthier approach of positive thinking.![]()
You are only spinning your wheels, pissing into the wind, et cetera, thinking that you can ever change your **** sandwich into anything else if you feel you truly have a **** sandwich. ![]() |

Sean been losing a lot lately and a whole ton of people have been losing their job. They call that recognizing your ass is going soon too if you keep on losing, and it is ![]() |

I now understand your angst. You are living under the illusion that you can somehow guide the direction of the team that you love by personally working harder to come up with solutions to their problems. You have nothing to look forward to but further frustration because your solutions are never applied by those who truly make those decisions. Funny how I never have envisioned **** sandwiches, yet you are seemingly obsessed with the analogy. Perspective means so much in attitude. |

We are not a good team, we don't make the playoffs. I'll never forget you talking before a Monday night game where we got beat (last year) and you said wouldn't be surprised if we beat them by a large margin. That is the good old days bro, we used to destroy people on Monday night. Yes, we used to be the team that beat the brakes off of the Colts on MNF, we are not that anymore. You were way off as you generally are because you can't let go of what we were vs what we are. I understand hoping, getting excited. I do too. The difference is you talk in absolutes and talk about someone living under delusions you fancy yourself "on the inside" with your constant non-sense about how you know for an absolute fact SP will never be fired. Yeah okay. Keep losing and fans will make that happen. ![]()

I predicted oru record accurately last season during or after pre-season and we fell right into that sweet spot. This year I think we have a shot at the playoffs and I can't really be sure of that or more until I see what we look like in pre. I do like our potential at running the ball and offensively. D I am not sure of yet |
