You wont even have a chance to win games if you can't at least field a half competent team. Doug and co. has got this team to not only be competent, but to be very competitive in 1 off season. 

I get it, we all want wins, you play to win the game blah blah, but there's a bigger picture here for this season. It isn't simply about the win/loss column this year. This season is all about trying to right a ship that has been off track for over a decade. That was never going to happen over night, but it's absolutely starting to point in the right direction. The wins will come.

I'm not buying this, if Doug feels this way we hired the wrong coach.  With that said I dont believe he feels this way.  It's doesn't take years to change a franchise around anymore.  We have one of the best QB prospects to come out in the last decade, a SB winning coach, set a free agency spending record, 2 1st round pics this year,  and already had some core players like Josh Allen, JRob, Etienne, Campbell, Cisco, , Cooke, Cam etc. We are a better team than our record.  The Giants and Jets have been about as bad as we have been the past 5 years.  It's doesn't take years to turn things around anymore.  I believe in Doug but he went 4-11 his last year in Philly like Searcy was saying.  We have to start winning games, that's how you get better

No one is happy with losses. There is not some special thing with this fanbase that many folks "are happy with losses." That whole narrative is complete and total horse [BLEEP]. Game attendance proves it. We sell out when we win - we have half capacity when we lose for any extended period. 

Most people are simply able to see the difference between a team unable to compete at all and a team on the cusp of becoming a winner. We were one of those things last year, and we are the other this year. 

If you want to be a miserable sack of [BLEEP] until we have an 11-6 record, by all means, have at it. 
Just stop making a fool of yourself about it here, please. 
We all understand you are not capable of appreciating an improving team.

That's my point, it's just a few that are happy with close losses.

Who are the few? Call them out since you know who they are.

No one likes losing. Losing sucks. I'm not happy with close losses and I don't think anyone on here is "happy" about it. But in a thread called "perspective", it's good to have some. The losses suck but if you can't see the difference between this team and the teams of the past, you're shortsighted.
