Today's expectations

[MTK]

OK, so the Skins are about 10 point underdogs headed in to today's game. We're on the road facing one of the top teams in the league. We should lose this game, I'm not trying to be negative I'm just being realistic.

So why do I know this board will light up after the game if we lose with everyone second guessing the gameplan, the playcalling, the front office, the trainers, the team doctors, the team colors, etc.?

Do we just have unrealistic expectations for every game? I mean, I still see people mentioning playoffs. Or does this eternal optimism just come with being a fan? Always expecting the best no matter the circumstances or the record?

Just curious what your guys thought process is. Are you expecting the team to play like crap at this point, or are you still expecting them to turn on a dime and look like a contender?
