It's really not irony. It's a first-person observation.

Not really a good proven way to evaluate a team though is it. Can't really determine a strength of schedule till the end of the season.
Agreed that was my point - lets not get hung up on the record when determining how we are playing
What? You literally just said winning is what matters.

The eyeball clearly says that we were inept at playing offense in the first few games but are improving by leaps and bounds, but it will be interesting to see how it holds up against elite teams
Who are the elite teams? I'm not sure I see any this season. I see some teams that I think are pretty good and some that are pretty bad with most being in the middle somewhere, but I still have my doubts about any truly elite teams this year.

We are a superbowl contender
I define winning as being in the NFC championship game

Or is not possible to be winning right now and winning can only be achieved by making it to the NFC Championship game*?
*This seems awfully arbitrary. Why not the Superbowl? Why not the playoffs? Why not winning our division?

Because this year we are mortgaging the future. We are spending draft picks and funds borrowed from future years.
If we don't go one game beyond last year then I believe that those moves failed
I took it that the moves of acquiring Richardson and Brown would be a failure in your book if we didn't make the Super Bowl. While that is the ultimate destination, there's just too many other factors that could come into play at this juncture to disrupt those plans. I have confidence in our coaching staff that they will do everything within their powers to give us the best shot at winning.mikeak":2iavpilw said:Siouxhawk":2iavpilw said:You certainly have a right to your opinion, but I think pre-judging something 12 weeks down the road is rather foolish.

Me?
What did I pre-judge? I said if they succeed those critical should give coaches credit. If they don't succeed coaches should be held responsible.
