No, you're not the only one

Its a good result, especially given the stats BUT it's not the Huge, Massive or Fantastic result that many are touting it as

I hate this tall poppy syndrome shark. Its a bloody good result and a bloody good performance. We should recognise and celebrate that we've vastly exceeded expectations in this game, then raise our expectations for the next one and go again. 

Just because we have a lot of improvement to go doesn't mean we shouldn't stop and recognise the successes along the way.
