What FOX Sport said probably reflects the feelings of most fans.

The playoffs are a long ways off. I do, however, believe that if Dalton continues to play at a high level we should expect a win in the post season. I look forward to that, but as others have stated, I've heard all this before.

In an organization with this history, it's really easy to dismiss this team with "I've heard all this before," and miss the joy of the journey to something great this time.  I mean, I guess there are two options:  1) Get excited now, believing you see something special this year and enjoying it to a potential Super Bowl victory; or
2) Judge this year's team by previous ones, and not enjoy the season until they potentially win a Super Bowl and then you can say, 'I never believed in them until now.'  

It may be this year, or some point in the future, but those are the two paths we have as fans, and I get more joy (knowing there is a real possibility with this team) of route 1 above.  Route 2 seems like The Bandwagon approach.
