That's the craziest thing about all this 'reaction'.

People use the here and now, in the most narrow of scope (one game reaction while ignoring the season), then use that to predict problems in the future. While totally ignoring the road that has led to our greatest success in 25 years.

I know this is "not good enough", but the bottom line is 31 other teams will be saying the same on February 12th.

Quit trying to use the arc to predict doom. It should be making you feel happy and hopeful, not fearing for the worst.
