Though as the season progresses I will definitely go out to bars to watch less as the losing stacks up. If they make it on TV here I'll watch.

Call me a glutton for punishment. This is my team. Win lose or draw. But I can't really string together much of an argument to convince anyone to watch. If you wanna quit on your team, become a fan of another team, or just stop watching and be a fan from afar... There isn't much I can say to convince you otherwise.

All I can say is... that ain't me. I wear my Jags gear and support my team, despite who is at GM, HC, or QB...
I don't say much to defend myself when people ask why... I just say they've been my team since day 1 and the only thing that changes that is relocation probably. Being bad is reality for about half the league every year... and some franchises have been a factory of sadness much longer and more often than we have. Bengals, Lions, Browns... lots of teams... The Saints were the Aints forever until they got Brees. It only takes one season to turn into a decade of good and enjoyable games... I'll keep patiently waiting for that season to happen. We were pretty good from 96-2002, making a couple runs, which is better than some franchises can say.... We were "this" close in 07 and 17 only to crash and burn. One day.... I keep hoping... it'll stick.

Agree with you almost exclusively except when you said you 'go to bars and watch less' - on that point, i still watch and continue to be abused. I threaten to turn the game off and never actually can pull it together to do it. Been here since the beginning... all the way in Canada baby. I'm here to stay. 

The Jags are my boys, my team, the only team I've ever cheered for and i 100% am no [BLEEP] band wagoner & im damn proud of that.

I hear ya... to catch the Jags on TV here in NWFL (basically Saints country post Katrina) I can only see them by going to Bdubs or some sports bar... It's essentially a $50 minimum trip... When we're terribly awful I just can't see myself spending that money just to watch the dumpster fire.
If they happen to be shown by the local CBS/FOX affiliate I'll certainly have the TV on.
