Perhaps they were, but it wasn't a bunch of kids or numpties we faced.
We were an embarrassment when Sarries held our heads down the toilet and flushed it at Murrayfield, I think we can enjoy the reverse feeling when it occurs. From reading the twitter feed we were never really under any pressure and took our chances as they arose.
There is still a long way to go for this team, but we can take a little satisfaction from a 50 pointer when it happens, I think.

Unsure why we’re referencing a game from nearly 5 years ago. It sounds like you weren’t at the game. If you had been your view might be different.

Because it just seems the Edinburgh way to wring the hands and say, "aye we'll pay for this", rather than say, good job done against limited opposition.
A wee look on the bright side wouldn't go amiss now and again.

Eh, who’s saying that?

As I said above. Much better handling than I’ve seen in a long time. The new 10 seems to get the ball moving and a decent tactical boot. Tactical kicking was good box kicking was poor.
Moved through multiple phases well, probably helps we seem to be able to hold the ball now. Tackle and defensive stats will be interesting I expect in a good way. Passed the ball well across the pitch. Rambo looking like the real deal these days & Gilchrist getting back to his best.
Officials were what I expected. Non as much booing as last night
