The sky is not falling. We are fine.
I agree 100%.
In a week where we get a tough win, remain as the only undefeated team, and the defense plays pretty well, I was very surprised about the intensity of negativity.
I'm not surprised when flaws are pointed out win or lose, but I was specifically surprised with what felt like a pretty intense tone of alarm.
I saw no tone of alarm or alerts that the sky was falling.
I saw what is unfortunately a kind of typical back and forth.
Some said, these were flaws.
Others said, stop criticizing (I can link you).
The first group said, naw they were flaws.
Others said, we're a winning team don't criticize.
The first group said, naw there were flaws.
The the others said, quit saying the sky is falling.
And...no one ever said it was.
....
In your reenaction of the back and forth, my sense was the people who said there were flaws were saying that there were horrific, nearly fatal flaws.
There were expressions of hatred of the game.
Calling out the coach
Lowered expectations for the season
Maybe it's just how it struck me because I didn't get to watch the game live so when I read the board, if I hadn't known that we had won, I would have sworn that we lost by 30.
You're right. No one ever said the sky was falling. And when I say I was surprised by the negativity it was not a specific thing anyone said. It was just the tone I felt.
I sure didn't get from the tone of the board that we were the only remaining undefeated team and that the D had actually played pretty well.
