I've been thinking about this a lot.
We've never been bashed like we've been bashed in the media this year. I have never heard so many people say how pathetic we're going to be. It doesn't matter if it's ESPN, Fox, or SI. It just seems like we're expected to be a four-win team or something. And the entire media is jumping on the bandwagon. I think I know more about this team than the national media.
I agree that we are starting out slowly. But one thing I've noticed for the last several years (all of Vermeil's and even Herm's last year, it seems) is that we always play like we're still in preseason for the first two or three games of the regular season. I can't remember the last time I felt confident about the way the team was playing heading into the season. But it always seems like we get stronger as the season goes on.
So I'm not going to rule out a slow start followed up by a strong finish. We could end up being a Cinderella story.
