(Merged Thread) Overreacting to a loss

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Is it just me, or does it seem that people (no one in particular) are taking this loss a little too hard? So far, I have heard people say:

1. "Brunell sucks"
2. "Portis sucks"
3. "The O-line sucks"
4. "The coaching staff sucks"
5. "The defense sucks"
6. "The team as a whole sucks"

It's one thing to say that Brunell throws the ball away too often, too many balls were dropped, Portis can't grind it out, the defense gives up too many big plays, the coaching staff is too predictable, the team is frustrating, or the team let the Chargers beat them. It becomes a totally different matter when someone starts saying how everything sucks and lays out f-bombs every two sentences.

The team is average, not awful, not great, but average. That doesn't mean that the entire team needs to be leveled and rebuilt. Do you totally retool a machine when a few parts are broken? No, although that is what the Dan Snyders of the world like to do.

I understand the emotional component of each loss. But, we lost in overtime to one of the best and most complete teams in the league. Yet, people are acting like we are 0-11 and just got blown out by the Texans. What gives?
