Welcome back KO. I'm glad to see you perspective has improved (Doesn't "separation make the heart grow fonder?").
Welcome back to our favorite Ray of Sunshine (RoS)! Some people here were worried that you up and left us and moved to (sacre bleu!) Montreal!
Welcome back! Now RevsFanDan can just post "I agree with KO" and I don't need to read through as many RFD diatribes.
I guess not everybody. Many of us did, though, so keep up the good stuff (great tactical analysis, in particular), please.
For argument's sake... you don't think this year's team is dramatically better than last year's team?
MM, I thought the same thing, but I think KO will respond that he's not talking about the team. He's talking about the organization - FO and ownership.
I think dramatically better than last year is a little over the top...! Difference between this year and last year...instead of tied with last or second to last place we're third/fourth from bottom on ppg. Last year there were quite a few games that if we had just held out, a point could have been won. Yes, we're better..and yes we do have a few passionate and talented players. However, we're far from being a playoff team..and very very far from "this, the year we win the cup" or even "Supah Revs", Cringe factor, high! It's a long season...if we beat DCU in DC on Saturday then my whole premise is wrong..and we'll be a marginal playoff team. It was huge game against Houston and on a FAIL scale, where 10 is emphatic loss to crap team and 1 is, pull out a tie in the 90th minute against 1st place team...I'd rate that game a 6 on FAIL meter. If we beat DCU in DC...it's #WINNING..! and worth a couple of good jumps up the power rankings! ie: am apologizing to ACHOWAT now, for having to read through my diatribe!
The on field team is better. By what degree is arguable, but I'll give it to you. This team (as in the entire organization from top to bottom) is still the same piece of shit mess it is, was and forever will be.
