I'mma stop you right there with a resounding YES! This franchise, an historically bad one, has had two consecutive statistically winning seasons for the first time in two decades. I don't know where this sense of entitlement came from last year, but these people need to accept that winning in the NFL is hard and it's much easier to go from 9-8 to 3-14 than it is to go to 12-5. Last year is the case study in just how quickly good fortune can collapse in this League with just a few injuries and some unlucky breaks. 

Full transparency, I don't care for how Baalke operates. He makes the easy difficult for no reason other than that it's his personality to do so. I don't like how he drafts. I do like his work in free agency and would suggest that he's over-promoted beyond being Pro Personnel Director. However, we did have a rapid turn around and it seems that Doug can win with the guys Baalke brought in, so I think it's borderline absurd for long time fans of this team to act like we should be winning just because and if we are "only" .500ish everyone needs to be fired. The Basement is calling and it's really easy to fall down those stairs again.
