Frankly, I think a "realistic" point of view would acknowledge where we played well, regardless of final score.
I certainly see most of the "optimists" around here, including myself, acknowledging that yes, improvements need to be made. As a fan, though, I just can't fall into that "we lost therefore we suck" mindset.
I mean, do people really think that every team in the league is gonna lay a 30 burger on us? After Sunday, I don't think so.
I agree 100%. It's entirely possible (I'd say even likely) that a person can be both unhappy that we lost and optimistic about the team. One really has little to do with the other.
