I think people are giving their honest assessments... and that can definitely lean to the negative. Think of it as 'tough love'.

But where I agree with you in part - - - Here's an example:

I didn't see the game, and I haven't watched a rerun of it as yet, (you can bet I will), so my 'impression' by getting game notifications and having seen the stats doesn't really match the consensus take on this board, in several ways. Just one example: Stafford missed 12 passes? If I go by general comments made on this board he missed at least 10 of them, at least 2 were drops?, and not just badly but horribly. When I re-watch the game I'll be surprised if that holds true...I will NOT be surprised if he missed a few horribly because I saw him to that last week. - JamesJM
