Not least of which, we barely, and I mean barely, got through both series in the Eastern playoffs. We also had a whole bunch of pretty fortunate regular season games in 2017, where we were outplayed, but got wins.
We are still, at or near full strength, an excellent MLS team.
This is kind of a PTSD reaction caused by our weird history, imho. We went from “nothing good ever happens to us, we always suck” to “we deseve everything good, all the time, we are so great” in maybe 18 months.
The truth is that neither is right.
