To try and give some perspective...we are 3rd in a close and competitive league, and I have a feeling that come the end of the season a lot of people on this forum may feel a bit silly after some of the stuff that is being said on here at the moment.
As for the matches that we're having to watch, I think we need to accept that the time of blowing away everyone except Giants/Steelers/Panthers is over, the league is just more competitive than it has been, and we have been spoilt in recent years as Devils fans.
