Quote:No we didnt. We told you all offseason this was going to happen.

Agreed. The high draft picks we acquired are only rookies... and that includes Fowler. Even good rookies are seldom that good their first season. So no; not everyone bought into the ridiculous media hype about the Jags being potential play off contenders this season.

 

As a fan base, we are so desperate for any hope that if someone, anyone, throws us a hook we'll bite it... and too many of us did...hook, line and sinker. Then when we are slapped in the face with early season loss after loss we become angry because the team isn't living up to our overblown expectations. Well... not to worry; if the team fails to reach at least 8-8 it is reasonable to expect that Shad will most likely fire Gus. Firing Gus before the end of the season however is almost a guarantee that we will have another bad season as interim coaches seldom do well.

 

So there it is; no likes losing and we're all sick and tired of watching the same old losing performance from our team week after week. We either reach 8-8 or it's time to move on from Gus. In the mean time, we have our best chance to win our first game of the season in London against the colts. If we lose in London... it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. If Shad were inclined to fire Gus before the end of the season, an 0-4 start into the bye week would probably be the impetus to cause it. 

 

C'mon Jags!
