But on the other hand, we've got a FO with a reputation for keeping HCs whose teams do the dead cat bounce.  And there is a distinct possibility that the win on Monday secures another year for the current coaching staff, who have shown basically zero improvement in two seasons, and arguably took steps back since Marvin was fired for not being able to get the team to improve.  

I think it's okay to see it both ways.  The win was sweet, but it does not give me any warm fuzzies for the future.  Doesn't mean I hate the team, doesn't mean I did or am rooting against them.  Just seeing two facts that can be separated and accepted equally.

Because that's too logical.

It's more fun to stir the pot and act oblivious while doing so.
