People see to have way too short of a perspective when it comes to teams.
One, two or 5 losses in a row do NOT make a team the worst to ever wear the flaming C (or any franchise).
Just as it takes an entire season and playoffs to be considered an elite team, it takes the same amount of time to be a joke of a team.
If people trust Peter Maher when he says you can go by a team's 2nd (or is it 3rd) quarter to really get an idea what to expect from a team, why do people take 2 games and immediately want to dismantle the current team? Why do people assume the team is the "same as the last 3 years" when over half the team, the entire coaching staff and the entire system has changed?
It is like saying that every time you have a cough you have H1N1.
Relax, until the team is mathematically eliminated you shouldn't jump to any conclusions. Fell free to critique, feel free to forward opinion and suggestion and (god forbid) hope. But stop with the snap decisions thinking you know more than the people who are intimately involved with the team.
