You seemed to ignore the moves like bringing MJ back for some reason. You even ignored all the injured starters that were coming back. At any rate the team is 6-0 doing exactly what they did.
They seem to be competing rather well.
3.) It is a "happy time" indeed, but what do you expect when you have gone out of your way to be cynical and clown the franchise?
1.) I criticized management for a lack of moves to make this team better in the postseason and in ability to compete for Lombardi's. I don't ever recall questioning their ability to simply be competitive. Regardless, we'll have to wait and see if I was wrong on this. I still believe they can, and should, do more in FA. It is just another tool at their disposal. And money left on the table, if continually unspent, is of no use right now.
I hope I'm wrong. I really, really, really do. Before the season I would have told you I had about a 10% chance of eating crow come Feb. Now I'm about 50-50 on that. I'm starting to believe. Truly. I'm slowly buying into the idea that this team will end up a true contender. But let's not pretend then my complaints have been proven wrong just yet. It's going to take more than 6-0 to show that their lack of activity is was indeed the right choice.
2.) No, I didn't. Many people just claim I overlooked it because I thought they did too little. I look at it from a simple dollar standpoint. When you're top 5 in cap space each and every offseason at some point you should be more active. When there is money leftover, even after our own resignings, that bothers me. Michael Johnson doesn't change that idea for me. I'm not ignoring anything.
3.) I expect people to either welcome back, join me (if also negative), have a laugh at my expense, or bust my balls. What I don't expect or appreciate, is people referring me to as a bandwagon fan, questioning my motives, accusing me of having an agenda, or now declaring every single argument I've made null and void.
