Quote:This is down right laughable.  You come off as this fanbase should of expected to get blown out 4 out of their first 6 games and wind up 0-6.

 

Most people expected some progress after 2 offseaons.  If you want to chalk up 2 decent performances agiainst horrible teams as progress then you are easily satisfied. This team has sunk below expectations of even the most reasonable fans.

This team hasn't been blown out of a game in the last 2 games, and the margin has gotten smaller.  A last second field goal would have won it yesterday.  That's improvement.  That's competitive. 

 

Pittsburgh isn't a horrible team.  At the time we faced them, they had the 4th rated offense in the league.  We held them well below their average for scoring and yards per game, and remained in that game almost to the very end. 

 

I consider myself a reasonable fan.  I am not whining like some spoiled brat because they're not giving me the wins I think I deserve.  I look at this roster, see the second  youngest 53 man roster in the league, and I see us starting or relying on 6-7 rookies on one side of the ball.  Anyone expecting this team to somehow be a juggernaut right out of the gate with this roster wasn't being reasonable.  It was going to be ugly, and it was expected to gradually get better as the season progressed.  Guess what?  That's what we're seeing right now.
