Let me ask you this, and anyone else who sees this can weigh in.


When Burfict made the interception, in the 2015 Wild Card game, with 1:36 left, on the Steelers 28 yard line, with the Bengals ahead by one point,
how many fans here do you think, thought:

1.  That's the game.  Finally a playoff victory?

2.  That's good, but hold the celebration because these are the Bengals.  I want to wait until the clock reads 0:00, the Bengals are still at least a point ahead, and there are no yellow flags on the field?

If I told you I was the number 2, would that have been negative thinking or seeing things as a realist based upon their history.

I just did deal with it.  The fact that you were right that time does not make you a "realist".  Instead it makes you a "pessimist".

Now deal with the examples I gave you.  How can someone claim to be a "realist" when their opinion does not happen in reality.

I am not saying you don't have  the right to be a pessimist or to be negative.  But you don't have the right to claim you are a "realist".
