Making the playoffs is not a great accomplishment. There are still chump teams in the wild card and divisional rounds who get pounded into oblivion.
We are not a Super Bowl team. There is no reason to be hyper-optimistic about a non-Super Bowl team. We were a Mason Crosby kick from whining and crying today. These gifts are not always going to come, especially as the season drags on.
I'm just happy that this coaching staff is not "deer-in-headlights" and is willing to adjust from week to week so that they have a chance to win. It means that there's hope that we'll be going to the big dance in the near future, provided that we get some good drafts and other acquisitions in. But the team is in a transition and still has kinks to work out, and it's blatantly apparent.
