Quote:Its not a negative attitude. 

 

Baloney.  80% (at least) of your posts are negative and the ones that aren't are a brief mention.


 

 

I've just learned a lot from my decades of watching football.

 

Like how to be negative, opinionated and self-centered?


 

 

Having (wanting) the division you play in to be tough and filled with the best coaches & QB might be a "noble" way to look at it, but its also a STUPID way to approach it if you have any realistic thoughts / hopes of having success (division titles & more) in the near future. 

 

So you only want them to play bad teams?  Then again, that would give you a fallback to complain about the bad teams they've beaten.


 

 

As said, How'd playing in the NFC East with the likes of the Giants/ Redskins & Cowboys fare for the Cardinals & Eagles over the 1980's and early 1990's?? The Eagles even had the best defense ever assembled and were still so exhausted by the time the playoffs arrived through fighting through such hard schedules that they never could get over the hump. 

 

Interesting that you'd go back 20 years rather than just looking at the last 7 where the Giants have won the Super Bowl twice.  Let's not even mention that the NFC East has won 10 Super Bowls since 1980.  Competition can only make you better.


 

 

Conversely, look at a team like the 1980's/ early 1990's San Fran 49ers, who benefited from weaker divisions and weaker schedule and they were able to win many divisions and gain higher playoff seeding with help from that. That ultimately made their playoff ride to the SB's easier and less taxing on their team, so they were fresher come playoff time. 

 

See above.


 

 

So you can label me with a bad attitude all you want. I know that the tougher this division gets the worse it is for the Jaguars chances of any real success. History proves it. Heck even the Jags themselves had their BEST success as a franchise when their AFC Central division was in a weak ebb. 

 

Only because it's true.  Maybe it's not your fault.  It's that attitude that's pervasive in the northeast.  I always liked to call them anti-fans.  Or maybe it's sophisticated fans.  I get them mixed up.  You're hear to rant and rave and get noticed.  It works.  You do indeed make a spectacle of yourself.  But it gets really, really, old.
