Quote:Somehow you simultaneously proved as well as missed the point. Yes, predicting the Jaguars will lose isn't a bold prediction, hence why getting a prediction right like that isn't a big deal. Yet considering the amount of "I told you so" and "I knew this was going to happen" posts I see on here every time we lose you'd think this was some kind feat of brilliantly critical football thinking. It's like saying home games in September are going to be hot and then acting all superior when you remember to bring sun screen, even when 99% of the people have also brought sun screen.

 

And I didn't say anything about gloating about beating the clots and the Bears, I said the usual suspects that normally post their drivel after every loss were strangely absent after those two games.

 

Like who exactly?

 

Those were not feel good wins and no fan not smoking crack cocaine walked away from those games feeling good about the future of this franchise. We nearly lost a 21 pt 4th quarter lead at "home" against Indy and counted on a defensive back slipping and forgetting to touch a receiver I had never even heard of until that day to beat a Bears team with a backup QB.

 

I don't think anybody gloats about predicting a Jaguar loss. It is now simply about taking pride in predicting the losing score.
