Why the squabbles among fans of the same team?

There wasn't a lot of certainty with how the season was going to go.
New HC who had never been HC before.
New coordinators.
Some new position coaches.
For the most part, the personnel stayed the same. Most expected the players acquired in the offseason would either not play much (draft) or just be a decent-not-great contributor at best (FA).
A LOT of injuries to key players (primarily on the offensive side of the ball).
Those who were optimistic have seen the scheme, while exciting in some moments, not exciting overall, and therefore are now not as optimistic has before but still trying to be hopeful because it's only three games into the season.
Those who were pessimistic have (somewhat) resorted to the "I told you so" model, trying to find some way to feel better by feeling like they were right.

I feel like my biggest disappointments are the schemes. On defense, I didn't expect much with Lou. But, on offense, I've been particularly disappointed. It seems predictable. I expected a lot more misdirection. Sure, there's some, but I expected a lot more to keep the defense off balance and open un the running game for Mixon.

The biggest hope is that the coaches can improve...but I don't know.

And for all I know, maybe the Rams offense would fail too without a good offensive line.
