How has the Seattle game changed your expectations for the season?

You have to do more negative things than positive things to lose the game. The participation trophy concept is running wild on this board. Yes, there were some good things that happened but until it translates into wins then why should expectations change? If they can win like 2 of the next 3 games then I will feel justified to change my expectations.  I expected to lose the first game and yep, they did. Feeling good about a loss isn’t a winning mentality. Being pissed and having high expectations are what I hope this coach and players are doing this week. They didn’t lose by 30 but 0-1 is 0-1. They aren’t below the Steelers and Browns in the standings. I’ve burnt my “look on the bright side” after a loss a long time ago.

That game was right there for the taking and a few better play calls or better execution and we win. Reminds me of the 90's some where we'd play teams close then lose the opener.

But, the defense did play VERY well.

One game is such a small sample size. Seattle doesn't really blow many teams out either. They kind of play you close and just win too. But, we did dominate statistically.

The bar is very low here for success.
