Quote:Good point. I would think young ballplayers are like the rest of us - they'd like some positive reinforcement. If all you see is losing I would think you'd start to doubt your abilities, even though you keep telling yourself it's a team game, etc.

 

I bet the Jaguars locker room is more positive than that of the Texans' right now. (Can you believe that going into Week 14 last year the Texans were 11-1, as were the Falcons.) Talk about a year to year league.

 

Indeed,  like former Oilers and Falcons HC Jerry Glanville said many years ago,   NFL= NOT FOR LONG.  The Chiefs are another prime example of this,  winning their first 9 games this season,  after going 2-14 last season.

 

I totally agree that the Jaguars locker room is more positive than the Texans locker room entering tonight's game.  I'm confident that the vast majority of Jaguars players look forward to work each day,  as a result of the recent winning by the team.   Many of those players probably dreaded work when the team was 0-8,  losing by double digits each week.  Winning changes the outlook of the players on a team more than anything.    For the Texans,  the season can't end soon enough for a sizeable portion of their roster.
