I don't think that it's so much a situation of many fans being 'fickle' so much as it is of fans buying into unsubstantiated hype about the team being better this year. We were led to believe over and over that the team is 'substantially improved' and in the meaningless preseason games, they did look improved; however, that's the point isn't it... we only look good when it doesn't matter.

 

No, I don't think the fan base is fickle...far from it. The Jags fans have proven themselves to be faithful to a fault, if anything; sticking with and believing the front office when they said that 'next year would be better'. But after year after year of being told to 'expect more' all we're getting is the same thing we've seen for the last seven years or so...substandard professional football.

 

Actually, the 'expect more' theme is pretty funny now, isn't it? I mean, we were told to 'expect more' and that's exactly what we got; more dropped passes, more interceptions, more uninspiring performances... I expected that kind of performance from a team full of first year rookies, but that's not the case now.

 

Unless things turn around, and I mean in a hurry, I'll have to adjust my season prediction from what was already a pathetic 6-10 to an unacceptable 4-12. If the team doesn't get it's stuff together I don't see us having a chance at a victory against anyone except maybe the bucs, the dirty birds, and splitting one with the tacks and Texicans. Given the play of the tacks rookie quarterback I'm not even sure we'll get any wins against them, so it could be another 3-13. If we go 4-12 or... gads...3-13... I will have no confidence in Gus Bradley as a head coach here. Time to move on.
