I used to allow myself a degree of hope or excitement each year. No playoff success for decades now.
Then the Dak extension without any idea of how he'd move post injury... Then SF1 embarrassment, nothing changed ... Then SF2 embarrassment, nothing changed... Then GB happened, inexplicably nothing changed... Then it looked like we might be moving on from Dak, signed him to the highest deal ever for real reason... Then one the league's worst red zone teams last year, they try to resign the play caller, MM... Then they make the journeyman offensive coordinator who's never won anything or excited anyone the new HC...
I'm done with hope. I'm done expecting anything positive. I'll start buying back in .. a little.. when we win 2 playoff games in a row or hire an actual GM to actually be in the GM role, fully.
I'll watch it all and check this site 5-10 times a day, even in the dregs of the off-season because, well, I guess I'm addict/glutton for punishment, but I'm done believing until the team shows me or the FO shows me otherwise.
