[QUOTE="Southpaw, post: 528892, member: 5186"] Quite the contrary. I opened the thread and saw a giant wall of text and didn't feel like reading it. But now that I have, I do now realize I could be grouped into what you are referring to, even though I think your arguments and "offered perspective" is a little dumb and the little history lesson was a little condescending and reeks of elitism. First of all, there is always more to talk about after a loss, than a win. Which is why you see increased posting volume after a loss. What is there really to discuss after a win but "we won, so and so looked great, on to the next game"? When a team loses a number of things are going wrong, and that will always generate more discussion. Because everyone is trying to figure out what it was. When a team wins, there is no discussion, just nuthugging and often stating the obvious. Secondly, I'm really over comparing the struggles of another team to our own. I couldn't care less about the struggles of another team. I care about our team and our struggles. When you are labeled as a perennial contender for not only the playoffs but the Superbowl, there are expectations. Not just as an organization, but as a fan base. And there is nothing wrong with voicing displeasure at failing to live up to those expectations. Even though a lot of it may be overreacting. There is still a resonance of concern for your team, so how can you say that isn't being a fan? Now you and others want me and others to "be thankful we aren't the Bengals or the Buccaneers or the Vikings." Give me a break, Mediocrity and failing is mediocrity and failing. Regardless of the degree. [/QUOTE]
