I have no issue with that, so long as you don't confuse that with things that are actually happening.
I think you can describe our defense as very stout, although we are giving up plenty of yards against the run. Overall, we are a top 1/4 defense in this league thus far.
But to describe our special teams as really good without acknowledging incredibly short kickoffs, and not so great kickoff coverage, and a punt return game of which it's single best achievement this year is not turning the ball over...that's just not a good job of evaluation.
There are things to like about our special teams unit, namely Rock Cartwright, and a punt coverage team who smothers everything, but you described our special teams unit as "very good", which is simply overlooking the major issues with it.
As far as the offenses ability to put teams away, how is that not a symptom of a bigger problem that his just inconsistency all around?
I appreciate your optimism, but being optimistic is one thing, but telling someone else they aren't being realistic because they aren't optimistic is another.

I really have no problem with the fact that hes not optimistic, really. I love to debate and it just wouldnt be that fun if everyone agreed all the time. Im just voicing my opinion, does that make me right? No, its just my opinion. I think its great that Paul sticks to his guns and doesnt drink the Kool-aid, but I choose to see it from another angle, but I really dont want that to come off as me attacking other posters, if it came off that way I apologize.
