And thanks to a few great posts (especially by JWSleep IMO), there's actually some rationality backing up the optimistic view.

And the "haterade" drinkers have been churning out rational, coherent, and persuasive arguments? I don't know about you, but I've read an awful lot of "Gibbs be the worresest coach in the leeg," "the Redskins couldnt beet a hi-school teem," etc.

I've seen similar posts from some of the "overly optimistic crowd." On the whole, however, I think the overly optimistic crowd has been coming up with good arguments as to why we will make the playoffs. For example, people have gone into a fair amount of detail as to how our remaining schedule will play out, how other NFC contenders' schedules will play out, talked about our offensive line starting to gel, etc.
