Quote: It just depends on perspective.  A sack in a losing game is not the same as a win in a losing season - especially if you broaden the frame to the rebuild and not just the season. 

 

Perspective A  - "Look at these clowns dancing around like idiots when they're 2 and 10!!"

 

Perspective B  - "Well they finally figured out how to generate a little offense with a bunch of rookies - maybe this is the start of something good."

 

It's about looking at the win as an important step to a bunch of the guys  in the locker room that needed to notch that in their belt and build on it. 

 

 

Listen to 1:30 to 4:50 in this interview with Marks.   It seems like celebrating a win was a good thing for this team to me.

So then expand the perspective to the "rebuild" versus the season...this was the 6th win in 28 games during the "rebuild." 

 

Perspective B "applied" after the Cleveland win then we lost 4 more times until the Giants game.  Perspective B "applied" last year when we won the game against Houston on Dec 5th then we lost 9 more times until the Browns game.

 

As for the interview (and nothing against Marks)...I would absolutely LOVE my employer if I'm paid well and get to celebrate being nearly one of the worst in the industry.  I would praise my boss all day long but eventually by company would probably go out of business.
