I'm not sure what you were expecting him to say.  I'd be more concerned if he had a defeatist attitude.  The fact that he's at least trying to sound optimistic is actually encouraging.  They haven't quit, and contrary to public opinion on this board, the players aren't tanking intentionally.  They're simply not good right now.  I don't find his statements to be delusional.

 

What's funny here is had he said the team sucks and they're not going to the playoffs, some of the same folks would have skewered him for having a bad attitude.  There's nothing these guys can do to win either on or off the field. 

 

Oh please FBT....he could have said something "optimistic" without sounding like a total clown. Henne's comments will just serve as media fodder for how much of a joke this franchise is right now. Had Henne said something like "Were going to try and go out and win this week and worry about the next game when it comes", then that would have sounded intelligent. Henne came off as a bozo with his comments and had that been Garrard saying the exact same thing in that situation, you would be ROASTING him right now, but since its Henne, you take the tact you are.
