And of course, that's not true.
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.
