There was plenty to complain about, being that the Brewers won 75% of their games for 2 months and the Cubs have the 2nd worst offense in MLB in the 2nd half, making it easier for the Brewers to surpass them. I mean hey, pat yourself on the back for remaining stoic and not having a public meltdown if you wish, but there were plenty of valid reasons for fans to get upset and lose hope. I think only a small, small group actually said they believed the Cubs would miss the playoffs, however. The reactions were pretty normal, I bet, if you compare fan bases around the league at large.
