All it has done is given him a full year of pain and disappointment instead of a period of Hope before the outcome is known for sure.
I am sure that in 2017 there were quite a few Eagles fans who sent the entire offseason clinging to the pain, nurturing the disgust, and preserving the bad feeling of a losing season. The Eagles had never won a Super bowl. It had been a decade since they had won a playoff game and they were coming off of back-to-back losing seasons. So I am sure there was a large group of fans who were convinced it was "impossible" for them to win a Championship. But when the Eagles won the Super Bowl they were no more happier than the people ho had positive thoughts about the upcoming season. All they ended up doing was making themselves feel miserable for months over something that never happened.

As delicately as I can put it; this is the reason for my initial post to you sir. Your argument here assumes many things which require you to presuppose the intent, rationale and experience of others. Above and beyond that, you place upon those whom you're speaking of broadly, your own specific notions of what their positions are. This is simply a ineffective way of making your case sir. Avoiding these tactics could help strengthen your arguments in the future.
