The question was, (with some embellishment here since you didn't 'get it' the simple way) when Burfict made the interception, did you believe that the game was over? Thinking, even the Bengals can't mess this up. They never have before, so I would bet the farm that it's done!!
If you and I were watching that game together, and I turned to you and said, like I did with my family, "It looks very good for this team right now, but this is the Bengals and I'm not celebrating until it's over", your response would have been ...?
In the case you mention I would have predicted a win.
But none of this makes you a "realist". It just means you have a negative outlook.
So be negative all you want. Just don't call it being a "realist". You would have been expecting a loss against the Falcons. I would have been right in that situation. But I am not going to claim that makes me a "realist".
