You are entitled to have a negative outlook based on recent history.  But you don't know what is really going to happen.  So you are not "realists" you are "negative fans".

Nah, I'm positive when it warrants it (see my praise of the offseason moves by the FO), and negative when it warrants it (see the FOs moves last offseason when the line was a shambles).

I'd say you're a realist....and a lot of guys here are.  There are some totally negative people, which I understand, and some totally positive guys here, which I also understand.  This board features a much better mix, and more grounded posters than the old board did.  Some of the people on there were almost like trolls in their incessant negativity or conversely, straight up homer views.

I predicted a 6-10 record last season based on what I saw and felt, and a 9-7 record this year based on the same criteria.  What I didn't foresee is the ability of this team to gel so quickly with all of the new pieces and scheme/coaching changes.  I've been pleasantly surprised so far.  I can see this team competing for a division crown if they keep doing what they're doing and we stay HEALTHY.  Honestly, I felt like 9-7 would be a damn good year, all things considered, and looked for 2019 to be the year all of the moving pieces come together.
