Quote:Honestly, that's probably the correct view point. We get so emotionally attached to this team and we want wins, it's natural for us as fans to act how we have been.


The reality is this is a team that went from consistently blown out even by bottom feeders (Washington 2014) to being in every game with a chance to win and just unable to close them out yet.


Of course there are legitimate coaching and personnel concerns. And Gus still probably isn't the right HC for us. But from an outside view that's hard for us to rationalize, this team is better than 2013 and 2014. Much better.

Love your posts, mvannostran!


What you say is sensible. And FBT also said something similar to this. "Lose big, lose little, win little, win big" is a possible sign that a team is progressing. And we can be considered in the midst of the lose little step in the process.


However, I'd like you to consider one thing. To really gauge whether we are progressing through this manner, should we not consider the opponents we've been "losing little" to?


In my opinion the last four games should have been "win little" games. The talent we have on this team is better than what we faced. To me, the coach has failed to get the best out of these players.
