This has never happened to me before but a small part of me didn't want us to come back yesterday. For the good of the team in the bigger picture - coming back and winning would have certainly kept the "we're still in it, just need to get on a roll" mentality going within the organization. Come deadline day, when we traded a pick or two to tweak the roster I would have looked back on yesterday as part of the reason why.
While in the past we may have been a bounce or two away from squeaking in with a few extra points, it seems to me we are naturally regressing to the point of full rebuild anyways. The team legitimately is not in it this year when you look at the standings. What's worse is we'll have little to actually rebuild with if the "we're still in it" mentality persists and we don't start making bigger changes this year.
Hope they do the right thing at the deadline.
