We lose, we complain

We win close, we complain

We blow out a team but don't look like some think we should, we complain

We could go undefeated and there would still be people on here complaining.

I would love to know what it feels like to go undefeated, so that I could complain. 

Or read the complaints of those talking about the undefeated season.

Either one works for me.

Very true. I would add that the last item led to many people getting overly excited and ignoring issues that people watching the games and trends of the team tried to point out/warn others who were busy trying to tell us how the team was incredible. Some might take that as complaining. I take it more as being a little more realistic about how the team is actually performing in an effort to reign in some of the expectations which seemed more concerned with our record and not some glaring issues the team was having even while winning.

I recall people focusing on our ranking and odds of running the table etc -- as if those problems were immaterial. I would compare it to going nuts over early season success in basketball when we are mostly playing lesser opponents while others are realistic, reminding them the challenges we were about to encounter with very strong teams. Not a great example as our team really exceeded most peoples expectations last season but the idea is the same. Those wins (7-0) are nice to have but they do not translate to anything tangible in the upcoming games beyond perhaps team attitudes and fan excitement. It is a great problem to have as long as you don't lose focus.
