I'm not sure what the right word to describe my viewpoint on such matters is, but I find that I'm much more laid back than most sports fans when it comes "state of the league" matters, perhaps because I have graduate level education in statistics. You see those posts in the 22 forum right now complaining about a pitcher getting a season ending injury in the first game of the year... I know full well with so many people starting a new game right now, statistically, it's going to happen to someone. That's just how it works, that's just how *real life* works. Similarly, I know that sometimes you get several different teams winning it all in back to back years, and sometimes you get dynasties, such is the nature of the universe. It doesn't really bother me unless a single team wins something like 4+ times in a row, which is a lot more patience than the average fan has, even if it's a team I don't like doing the winning, and even if as it's all playing out I'm really pulling for someone, *anyone* else to win.
I guess what I'm saying is, seasons like this happen, and personally I'm just as excited at this point as I would be during a different season. Even if the lead seems set, there's always drama be to found somewhere, and you never know what can happen in playoffs! (Plus in a dynasty like yours, we have this nice narrative wrapping of the Fallout setting to provide extra-curricular drama too
