Quote:I hope no players look at this board. How sad is it  when almost all  your fans predict their team losing. I guess it is all right for fans to turn there backs on the players but god forbid if all the players during pre-game interviews  said  we don't have any chance to win this game. Every one would be calling for there heads. Realistically how are our chances to win, not great, but I will say the Jags win until  the Pats prove me wrong. As long as the players believe they can win so will I.

 

You can make a prediction with your heart or your brain. Often, they are very different. Wanting your team to win (which you should always want, unless some playoff implication helps you if you lose) is different than being asked if you think your team will win (which should be answered based on realities and not wishes). Now, I'm sure you could find points for *any* team winning on any given Sunday, at least that's what they always say.

 

But even during the last 15 years, I've wished the Patriots would win a game, but I realistically knew they would/could lose it. You can't drink the KoolAid all the time.
