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.
