Socal, I'm with you mate. I've stated in a few intances that I believe the Jags will be much improved this year. Major progress from the dregs in the Murlakey/Bradley tenure, in spite of the uncertainties at QB.
To the experts who can also foresee outcomes, that have already fast forwarded to next year, I say this: Self fulfilling prophecy is a functional phenomenon. Negativity begets negativity. If you believe Henne will implode, the Oline will falter, the D will underachieve, etc, your thoughts, impressions and behavior all point to that end.
Though fan stance does not directly affect team output, it certainly contributes to the overall morale of the team. If a fan base has confidence in its squad, it projects such beliefs to the players who absolutely feed off that. When you know much is not expected of you, your efforts absolutely become compromised.
Texans expect a division title so they move towards that end; fans, players and top brass collectively. If a significant portion of Jag fans feel top pick before even 1 live snap, then such energies manifest...To me, there comes a time when as fans we should suppress our superfluous knowledges, send good wishes, regain hope, and just support the team. With an abysmal Colts D, a questionable Texans O, and titans being titans, the division title is in your grasp. Go Jags, regain respectability.
