Expectation, by BritJag

If you expect more from the players, they sense it and try to raise their game.

If you expect to be awful, as mere fans, players sense it too and help fulfill your miserable expectation.

Why would I as a player have additional pressures to produce if I know fans don't expect me to? Surely, I get paid millions to do my job, that should be enough motivation. Plus, I don't work for the fans, I work for the Jags, and they expect me to perform optimally.

But the walls have ears, especially in this information age, and yes they work for the fans too, because the fans are a part of the organization. A major part, and the biggest contingent.

We disregard the power of expectation and the psyche of a sports player.

I expect a division crown, and see no harm in spurring the players on to that end. Go Jags

There is no sandbagging.  Will this be the year we can get the first overall draft pick in franchise history?

Perhaps. So, it's fair to not hear any complaints or gripes from you and all those who expect a horrible season when they perform badly, right? I mean, if you expect them to be the worst this year, you should not be upset if they do in fact become just that. No? Or am I missing something?

Odds are the same muppets who expect a miserable season will cry the loudest in troubled times. Bewildering!
