Reason number 437 why your opinions posted here are rendered meaningless by blind faith.

If you're always coming down on the optimistic side, how can your opinions possibly be considered valid? They're rife with bias.

There's what you WANT to happen, and then there's what you THINK will happen. There's a difference.

This is why your fandom is rendered invalid, it's rife with unfaithfulness. :cheeky-sm

Come down off your high horse and put your dictionary away, it's called being a true fan. If you don't root for your team to win EVERY week, even if they're 0-15 and playing the defending Super Bowl champs who need a win to make the playoffs...if you're predicting a loss and have no confidence in them, you're not as much of a fan as you think.

Sure the Jets suck and they don't have much of a chance this week, but the people who really love their team are coming to the game or sitting on their couch with their jerseys and are anxious to see a win. I did the same last week, despite the reality of records and stats and will do it every week until I die because I am a Redskins fan no matter how good or bad they are. Sometimes our team will pull out upsets and I and other Skins fans will be jumping up and down, glad we had the faith in our guys to do it, while some pessimists will have to say "glad they won, but I wasn't behind them all the way."

I love stats and numbers, it's actually what I do for a living. I can post plenty of stats and make great points with them, but come Sunday, none of them matter to be because I'm behind my team no matter what numbers, Las Vegas or the media says.

Sorry if you can't say the same.

I'll freely admit that I wear burgundy and gold colored glasses. I don't think that makes my views invalid, I just think you might want to take my views with a grain of salt. Similarly, I take the debbie downers' views with a grain of salt.

I don't agree that you have to wear burgundy and gold colored glasses in order to be a fan. But, for me at least, it is hard not to see the good in our team and think, perhaps incorrectly, that we will go to the playoffs.
