That doesn't mean that they can't be critical of decisions made by the coach/GM Those loyal fans of the Jaguars, including me (season ticket-holder since day 1) deserve to be rewarded and I believe this will happen. I'm actually excited about attending today's game to see if they can get over the hump by winning two in a row. However, even if they lose today (Rams are a solid team and Donald scares me) our fans still have a lot to loo forward to. This defense is the real deal and I really believe they are just 1 solid quarterback (not necessarily elite) away from being a Super Bowl contender for the next 5 years.

Thank you so much. Finally someone backs up what I have been saying for over 10 years, that being a true fan means supporting your team at all times, no matter how bad they are on the field. As in no "This team is inept and stupid" or "We need to lose" and stuff like that, but just "I don't like what they are doing and this is why." Criticizing decisions is not bad by itself; everyone does it. We deserve criticism sometimes. What has been so annoying is when fans say they don't care, they want us to lose, etc. but claim to be true Jaguars fans. I always supported Jacksonville through the tough times. I never lost faith or hope that the end of the tunnel was near or felt there was a reason to root against the team even when I hated decisions that were made. I am grateful this board finally has someone else who understands this.
