This 9 win resume really isn't that impressive. People keep hanging their hats on it as if it is a badge of honor.
If 9-4, in year 4, with a returning QB starter is satisfying, fine, I'm not going to sway your opinion.
Nobody is "hanging their hats on it as if it is a badge of honor." You see people support their team through bad times and presume it's acceptance of poor results. It's called not being a fair-weather fan. Losing sucks and nobody here likes it. Everyone here wants to be playing for conference championships, you're not alone in that regard. But when people just gripe for the sake of griping, it doesn't mean you have higher standards. It means you're venting.
Great post knap.
