I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

The Jags were totally feeling the pressure of those moments with multiple bobbles, the fumble, interception... they choked. It's what inexperienced mediocre playoff teams do.

Their fans though. To constantly get your heart ripped out and yet still be this cocky mystifies me...
Probably a lot of younger bandwagon fans between the Bengals and Bills, seemed to be a lot of 20-somethings in town last year who probably didn't know they had pro football teams 5 years ago. [Reply]

It’s easy for a fan to be cocky if they don’t face the music after a loss. They get to be cocky when they’re good and apathetic when they’re not. [Reply]

Nah, they know they have a football team. To them fandom is about who shouts Who Dey the loudest. Everyone in Ohio knows that it’s the browns and even Steelers fans who fill the bars during the season. [Reply]

Not only that, but Saints fans shout, WHO DAT?!!!" much louder. Their whole football culture is secondary copy cat- bush-league stuff. Thats exactly the thing that happens with a fair weather, front runner fan base. [Reply]
