| | If anything, I overreact when watching a Jags game, be it over blown calls, no calls, bad looking plays, a lack of effort from our players, and especially when the Jags lose. I yell at my tv even though I know it won't do anything. Heck, I get so into a game sometimes, that if it's late into a tight game, I can barely eat. Like any other young child, I had my fair amount of tamper tantrems. I can't remember too many of them in particular, but one that I very clearly remember was when the jags lost the 1996 AFC championship game against the Patriots. I will never forget the interception that Brunell threw deep in Patriots territory late into the the game that went the other way for 6, when he had just been down by the score of 13-6; and this was the year that I became a Jags fan. Now if that isn't being passionate, then I don't know what is! My post was intended toward those who have the attitude that, "oh, the Jags suck now, so I am done with being a Jags fan.", not the majority of die hards who responded. Complaining and being ticked off over a loss is what I do, so believe me, that is not what I was referring to in my op. Maybe some of you guys missed it because it quickly made it's way to a few pages back, but directly after the game, there were posts such as, "I am done with the jags and am selling the rest of my season tickets over ebay." You guys showed passion in this thread, and that's the true definition of a fan. Go jags!

Yay, I like being average too. It's such a wonderful thing.
This sucks, and if you like losing, go be a Texans fan. I like this team because they win and they fight.
This isn't the team I fell in love with a couple years ago. This is average...actually, it's worse than average. We are the St. Louis Rams. We are the Cardinals of the past 10 years.
It's sad.
I love this team, this city, our stadium, etc....but I don't like HOPING, or SETTLING for something. This is a blue collar team, and right now, they're sitting on their azz.Sorry to burst your bubble, but most of us here didn't fall in love with this team a couple of years ago. Try 13 or so. Good for you. I didn't live here. Yesterday was my 67th game in a row..haven't missed one since I've been here and I've made my entire family Jags fans, who also attend as many games as possible, even though they live out of town. I mean these players, this system, these coaches, etc....not the team in general. I guess more fans are a bad thing? Do we want to sell out the games or no? Are original fans the only TRUE fans? Gimme a break. I'll take a new screaming fan any day. I like the Gators too, but I wasn't around their first yeaer either, so I guess that doesn't make me a real fan? I'm a bandwagon one? Riiiiight. It's not about money either......I'm gonna spend it on something...football, the boat, the house, whatever. I felt like I cared more about winning last night than they did....that's all. I did not use the word bandwagon once. But, when you've been with a team since their inception and give up a lot to go to every game even when sometimes you shouldn't be (I go to FSU, I make the drive every night after the FSU games) it gets annoying seeing newbie fans coming in and criticizing the team. WE KNOW THEY'RE JUST NOT THAT GOOD THIS YEAR! Let the record speak for itself. I'll take being one of 32 cities to have an NFL team and continue to support my Jags regardless. You're simply stating the obvious and annoying a lot of people. As fans we have no control over anything except attendance really. So just take what we have and get over it. That was my reference.(Bandwagon) It wasn't directed towards anyone in particular, but rather a general observation. Band wagon fans are everywhere there is a winning team. It just seems fraudulant to me.
 Don't Take Life Too Seriously

| There's nothing wrong with discussing what's wrong with the team.
There's nothing wrong with being upset or angry.
But in the end there's nothing the fan can do except support the team. I mean, for god's sake we could be Lions fans or Bengals fans. |
