Quote:It is sad that fans don't care about the silver linings less than 48 hours after a loss like that one. I miss the days when people were happy and talking about how good plays were made here and there, no severe injuries were suffered, etc. on the day after a game. My idea was to divert their attention from doom and gloom to seeing the silver linings. My mom gave me that advice after a vet told me my cat has only a few weeks left to live. Yes, all losses hurt, but people are able to think about the bright side if they want to. It is their choice if they don't want to think about Malik Jackson's sack, Allen Robinson's two TDs, our takeaways, and the lack of new injuries on our sideline, among other things..
 

   When your team is 0-3 after what transpired since 2008 and the hope that most Jaguars fans had going into the season,   for most fans of the team,  the bigger picture is going to overshadow the positives from a game by a wide margin.   Once the emotional pain of the loss and overall team situation dissipates to at least some extent,  it's easier to feel better about individual and unit positives.    At the very least,  I don't think that most fans of the Jaguars were ready for a thread on Sunday Evening that featured positives.  Maybe if the positives were mentioned in some other threads in the context of being a minor part of the overall negative situation,  it would have been better received.
