Pessimism is something I see a lot on these boards. They claim that they aren't pessimists, but rather insist that they are a realist. Here's a clue. A realist doesn't say "The Colts are going to crush us" or "We have no chance". Don't tell them they aren't a fan though, they're just being realistic.... right?

Wrong. A realist recognizes the large feat at hand, but in no way loses all confidence in their team. A realist says "It's going to be a difficult game and the Colts are great. It won't be an easy game." Because a REALIST would realize that anything can happen any given Sunday... and a TRUE FAN would NEVER-EVER-EEEVVERRR laugh at their own team as if they didn't have a chance.

So to the pessimists, go to the Colts board. They appreciate your presence much more so than most of us around here. I know we've got problems, you don't need to tell me that we might be outmatched, but my god... have a little faith. Why do you even cheer for the Fins if you're not even going to believe in them?

Okay.... ::bong2::
I feel better after that rant.
 
What if Chad Cantgetitdoneington goes 23 of 28 for 202 yards and 4 INT's again? :lol:

There he is. You're one of em. You can't be real.... Jets fan? Pats fan? If Chad keeps doing what he's doing then there's a problem and it needs to be corrected, but see.... what if he doesn't? What if he manages the game as well as he did all last year and helps us win? Then you'll take back everything you've been saying, or will you just stay in the shadows until he has another bad game?
 
Nobody wants or is willing to change, ESPECIALLY at the direction of someone else, regardless how rational. This culture is full of corporate guinea pigs trained to think & consume by the media & politics which they control. Most of the herd you'll find sitting in front of the tube while on the phone complaining about their life or criticizing someone elses.

Do you really enjoying crapping over your own quarterback? The one who led your team to the playoffs and injected happiness and pride back into our organization and fan base.

I get it, you want to upgrade from Pennington, and are impatient in doing so. I'm sure all of us including most of the Penny supporters want to upgrade. But for now, learn to be happy with what you got.

You're nothing but a troll disguised as a fan with those kinds of posts, disgusting.
 
Truth hurts don't it...lol:boohoo:

Keep 'em coming fellas....

See I hear a vast multitude of people on here say hey with chad well be functional, but with his skillset we may win 8-9 games and make the playoffs but thats it. and the Offense will struggle to consistantly perform, because it demands absolute perfection to work.....Yet that realism is blasted. I dont think anyone here is saying Chad is trash, but is he a QB that can take you to and win the big game with his limitations?...you real fans decide that.....

I promise you if he demonstrated an ability to make the throws downfield consistantly in practice we would be doing it in the games....and this goes back to last year, not just this game.....

Questioning aspects of the team is similar to questioning parts of our government. Its neccessary and what makes a citizen/fan a good one. CHAD IS A GOOD QB and will win us 8-9 games. He probably will bouch back and have a great week. SO dont come on here saying I told you so, bc many people have already said this. However the gameplan used makes the offense slow and doesnt allow our RBs or our WRs to get into space and get chunks of yds consistantly enough. and We will not be contenders...REAL contenders until we have that ability on offense....

That being said I think we can win on Mon, and I will be cheering from Cincy on every snap just like I have been my whole life....through thick and thin every single game.

Props. You got the OP's intentions...........This is as realistic as it gets....and showing criticism without being pessimistic. That's how it's supposed to be.
