Or, people who have optimism after 6 games have seen a team that has outplayed it's opponent 4 out of those 6 games, and was 2 coin flips away from being 3-3 to start the season with a new coach and new system. I said before that I won't throw this team under the bus or put them on a pedestal until I see where they are at after 10 games, but so far, I see a team that is very much improved from the last 3 years, and losing these games early are all about living through growing pains and working their way through this process. 6 games do not make a season. If we get to 10 games and we still only have 1 regulation win, then yes, everyone will be very concerned and for good reason. Just stay sane until we get a large enough sample size that we can objectively evaluate this team. While you're at it, it's much more fun to be an optimist than a pessimist.
