But the bottom line remains unchanged. You can't call yourself a fan of a team that you want to lose. You may think you are, and you may try to spin it a million different ways and talk about big pictures and all that jive talk, but when it's cut and dried, you turned your back on your team. That may be fine with some of you. It would never be fine with me.

 

I stand behind my team ALWAYS. I don't pick and choose my moments. Maybe I'm a dying breed, but I see good as good, and I see bad as bad. I don't try to mix the two and try to rationalize it to myself to make myself feel better about being a fraudulent fan.

 

Excuse you!  How exactly do you stand behind your team always?  I bet you in every single measurable way, I do just as much as you.  I go to the games, I buy the merchandise, and I cheer loud and proud for my Jags.  So don't go around calling anyone a fradulent fan.  Keep your judgment to yourself.  I could call you an idiot for wanting this team to squeeze out a few meaningless wins, but I haven't (until now.)

 

Do I want them to lose?  If you asked me in pre-season, I would say hell no!  I thought Gabbert could have a chance to prove he's our guy.  He has proven he is not our guy, and that WE DON'T HAVE A GUY.  So now, sitting at 0-7, do I want them to win?  If we just flat-out whoop someone, then awesome!  But if we get a team who's had bad injury luck, playing a 3rd string QB, etc etc, and we "squeeze out" a win which in turn gets us the 3rd pick... yeah, I'd be pissed.  Sue me.
