There were many years when the "realists" said we would have a losing record but we made the playoffs. and I am sure there were a bunch of Eagle "realists" who said they could not win the super bowl last year.
So feel free to be negative about things. You have the right. Just don't claim that your opinion is based on reality when you really don't know what reality holds in store.
A "realist" might say that our odds of winning without AJ Green are diminished.
Even though this team has won without him on the field.
How is that not being realistic?
Yes this team has won without AJ.
Yes their chances have diminished and will be going forward.
Both of those statements are correct... are they not?
