Actually, the test of a true fan is whether they hang around when the team loses. I find that when things are going really well, I personally don't have much to post about here at the Warpath. When they're winning, I just sit back and enjoy, but when they don't look too good, preseason or not, I'm going to call them on it. Many times, people who criticize the team's performance are either labelled fairweather/bandwagon, but in fact, if they're taking the time to type away, explaining their frustrations they obviously care don't they? Otherwise they wouldn't be here.

I don't mean to put words in your mouth here. But the implication is that those of us that don't get all worked up over a preseason don't care. That only true fans complain. It's the same assumption that people make about the players and coaches. Because they're not crying on the sidelines, getting angry during post-preseason game press conferences there's this feeling that they're not trying to win, that they don't care. And of course, that's not true.

Sorry TAFKAS..... You of course are on that list as well... Now if we can get the rest of the Warpath to follow you three and myself everything will be fine.

It will be great when these posts are no longer in sight and we are all talking about how amazing the last game was and how much we are kicking everyone's arse....

I'm hoping it'll be that the Redskins will be registered sex offenders after the violating they'll give the Vikings.

Well, let's not forget, it was Joe Gibbs that first starting calling the players' effort into question during the postgame press conferences.

Very often, I find that people who criticize the team are called bandwagon fans. My point was to illustrate that if this was the case, then why are they here? They wouldn't waste time posting at a fan site complaining about poor performances if they are bandwagon fans. That statement can in no way be an indictment of those that refrain from bitching and moaning after a suck-ass preseason.

I wouldn't say that those who dismiss the preseason don't care ... living in La-La Land maybe, but sure, they're caring people.

Looks like SI is drinking the preseason Kool-Aid. They dropped us to second behind the Cowboys.

You don't do this, but there are people who are like "Never again. I'm done with the Redskins. I'm spending my Sundays elsewhere. We suck, blah blah blah" Then they come right back after a win or some excitement surrounding the team (new coach, free agency, whatever). What's that all about?

I'm pissed because I just noticed this...

Beleive me I am well aware of what a true fan is, and many of them are labeled bandwagon/fairweather because they're not verey familiar with the history of the team and piggy-back on others who do. True fans "STAY loyal, dedicated, and committed to the team regardless, and don't flip-flop all over the place just depending on how the team performs from time to time. I'm not suggesting in any way that you're one of them, but the area is full of them and it's been that way for a long time.
