Jerry Jones may be more concerned with this crowed..I could care less. What are they teaching these folks....
Fair weather my ***....
What if your favorite NFL team is terrible -- should you stand firm?
No. It's OK to be a fair-weather fan.
The 2014 season has seen a race to the bottom among the league's bad clubs. Five teams -- City of Tampa, Jacksonville, Jersey/B, Oakland and Tennessee -- are poised to finish with no more than three wins, versus only two teams that bad last season. The Bears and Giants have been huge disappointments, while the Eagles knocked themselves out of a seemingly locked-up postseason bid with an all-time phoned-in bad game versus 4-11 Washington. Buffalo hasn't reached the postseason in a league-worst 15 years and laid an egg versus 3-12 Oakland.
If any of these are your favorite teams, just write them off until such time as they may improve. Don't watch their final outings. Don't make excuses or invent reasons they may be less of an infuriating letdown next year.
NFL teams that consistently promise to improve, then stay terrible, are manipulating you. Strike back! It's OK to be a fair-weather fan.
Fans and boosters of college football should stay true to their schools through thick or thin because colleges play a larger role in society. NFL teams are strictly entertainment organizations. If the entertainment is bad, write 'em off. You wouldn't purchase a crummy album by a pop star. Why watch the games of a terrible NFL team?
Jacksonville is on a 9-38 stretch. Washington is on a 7-24 stretch. The Raiders are on a 11-36 stretch and haven't made a playoff appearance in 12 years. Tennessee is on a 15-32 stretch and has gone 11 years without a playoff win. The Buccaneers haven't won a playoff game in 12 years. The Lions haven't won a postseason contest in 23 years. The Bengals haven't won one in 24 years.
That some NFL clubs consistently are good while others consistently are bad may be a case study in coaching and management. Regardless, if your favorite team is bad, you owe them nothing. NFL teams are heavily subsidized by the public, and exist solely to provide sports entertainment. Bad play is not entertaining. Don't feign loyalty. Take pride in being a fair-weather fan!
