I was saying we could very easily be 1-1 right now. But you are right, we did win and winning hides the stains of poor play. But I'd hate for people to get fooled into thinking we're looking at a dominant team capable of winning every game with the kind of play we saw today.

Wet blanket defeatist talk.
We're 2-0.
Enjoy it instead of planning for a future let down.
And we don't need to be a dominant team.
We just need to win.
Which we are doing.

I'll be enjoying it until the end of the day, but at the end of the day, 2-0 means nothing. 2-0 doesn't make the playoffs, 2-0 doesn't prove anything, 2-0 just means you were good enough to win 2 weeks in a row. I want sustained success, not feel good stories in the second week of the season. I'll start celebrating if we have a division title locked up, or a playoff berth locked up, or a winning record and a playoff berth after the 17th week of the season. 2-0 might make you think we should already declare this season a success, but I don't think that way.

I realize since we won today, you have put on your 1968 Burgundy Colored Aviators, which help to obscure all the bad play from today, but not everybody chooses to ignore reality.

I am with you on all that.
