I would really like you to go to every teams forum and find me all the posts where people are super positive and jumping for joy after blowout losses.
Unlike some, I don't think Joe is dumb enough to think it's only our franchise that gets upset after a loss.
4 and 4, one game out of the lead for the Division title, and people here act like the season is done. No one is every happy after a loss, but I've seen a lot of sports fanbases and I've never seen a bunch just totally give up at the first sign of adversity as I have in Cincy. "Coming off a Super Bowl" is the part of your response people should be paying attention to. Let's look at the playoff teams from last year and where they are at.....
AFC
Bills 6-2
KC 5-2
Titans 5-2
Bengals 4-4
Patriots 4-4
Raiders 2-5
Pissburgh 2-6
NFC
Eagles 8-0
Cowboys 6-2
9ers 4-4
Rams 3-4
Cardinals 3-5
Tampa Bay 3-5
Looks to me like we are still right in the thick of it with all but a couple of teams.
It would be really nice to make the Super Bowl every year, but that just really does not happen very often. Certain teams luck into getting their Top Tier Franchise Quarterback at a time when most other teams are struggling to find one, and that particular team will have great success, ala Tom Brady in NE, the rapist in Pissburgh, etc. while the rest of the divisions and conference struggle. Our misfortune is we found our Franchise Top Tier QB right smack dab in the middle of an AFC Quarterback arms race with just about every good QB coming into the conference and into our Division. The NFC will be a cakewalk for Philly this year because there is hardly anyone left there that's any good.
