Perspective

[MileHighGrowler]

Very true! I appreciate the positive outlook in the midst of numerous meltdown threads. I didn't lose sleep last night and feel fine today. It's a new dey. The thing that's hard for so many people is the change in mentality. Previously, it seemed like such a miracle to make the playoffs, and if they didn't get it done that one season it was over. But this team is getting stronger each year. This was a better team than last year, but had some unfortunate setbacks at the start (Burrow's appendix) and the injuries at the end. This team isn't finished by a long shot. And they'll come back better next year. I believe that.

This year, my expectation was make the playoffs, but not get to the AFCCG. I'm not disappointed because they exceeded my expectations coming from the "SB hangover." Next year? My expectation is SB return. And they can absolutely pull it off.

Lots of fun things to discuss over the offseason, but I might lay low here for a bit until the dust settles and everyone calms down!
