Guess Who's Back?

[hanjin1]

you can't say the last 2 games didn't matter, when know one knew what was going to happen at the time. they don't matter now, but they still matter in the sense of team pride and giving the fans something to look forward to in 2011. losing 3 straight after losing 4 straight the year before, looks like there is no improvement from the team. and don't say you didn't have much hope in tennessee, when they were on their last drive to win the game at the end. i wonder how crazy the fans would be right now if indy would have lost that game on sunday

I'm just sayin', try and look at it from their perspective. 

If you bust your ass for 14 weeks trying to close sales for a company paid vacay, and it falls through week 15, you're probably not going to really give a sh!t about weeks 16 & 17, because the only way you get to go is if Timmy, they sales leader for the last 9 years can't finish.  Timmy's known for finishing.  Your year ended when you failed to close out Timmy.

If that's how they think, then I guess that's why we never make the playoffs and Timmy does. Because Timmy tries his hardest to be the top, while we are fine fishing. Also MJD can shove it when he says the fans need to step up, if thats how they really think. I'll step it up when they step it up.

I think the fans have stepped it up, no black outs MJD. Your turn!!!!

Yeah he was the leading rusher until his injury sidelined him... an injury he played through all year... and an MVP candidate late in the season... and picked as the #1 RB in the Pro Bowl. 

He's right. This city as been coddled like a 2 year old and acts like with it's temper tantrums. I like the sharp tongue and it was long over due.

The fans stepped up this season despite the same ole late season collaspe. When the Pro Bowl trumps the Super Bowl you let us know.

As far as individual performances go... it does trump. The fans would have to sell out to a 10 year waiting list to equal the 'stepped up' performance of MJD lol

[Keith-N-Jax]

I don't think there's a fan that doesn't go crazy over MJD. He's our Manning, but to call out fans after you just lost the last three games, playoffs, division title -come on man its not happening. Let's be real. No ones questioning him.

[Shwaz]

And no one should. Is he lying about the need to sell more tickets? Does he have a right to be confused as to why it's so hard here?

[Keith-N-Jax]

Also tell MJD that might want to get something on the field that resembles a NFL defense. Del Zero might wanna have Post Roast knocked DG upside the head before kick off for he seems to play better after a concussions.(just kidding)

[Keith-N-Jax]

Well all know the tickets issue. But you might not wanna mentioned that when you've just lost your final three games, but wait they've improve they only three in a row this time at not four. Book it sell outs next year, this just in "tarps to be removed".

^^^I have always disagreed on the theroy that Winning=Ticket Sales. If thats the case, Tampa would not have had black outs this year. and the bucs did wonderful this season and Bucs fans REFUSE to by tickets. Its probably gone be a lock out next season anyways, so we are probably wasting our breathe at this point.

I am really not too thrilled about Del Rio coming back but I will still renew my season tickets!

I'll mention this. Fan support should be strong as well as ticket sales win or lose. The tarps are there for good. We have nowhere near the population to sell out 90K seats.

Speaking for my group of friends & family, we went to all 10 games. We tailgated with great food and we were there for the 59 yarder & immaculate deflection. In years past when it was just my father & I and our long walks back to the car after a tough loss... dissecting each impacting play. Win or lose those were all great Sundays.

That's the reason to buy tickets. To watch your favorite sport in person with the people you care about.  To be part of a moment with the team you love…. Win or lose.

We dont know the bucs situation, they were 3-13 last yr and they didnt really beat anybody til the last game of the season and the Saints didnt need to win since Atl was blowing out the panthers. Chargers also had b/o. Who knows maybe the fans dont have the money. I dont understand the Chargers fans because they win their Div alot and are usually in the playoffs.

The tarp thing was just a joke and did we lose a substantial amount of our population since the 90's just asking? Anyway it was a fun seasons until the end. You cant expect anyone to be happy the way they ended the season. It was just awful. Anyway great post, but theres always a but,,Until we have 67 thou that believe that and bleed teal, we will always have ticket issues. You know how our town is. I believe the Jags have about 50 to 55 strong faithful.

I understand how this town is but I don't agree with it. This day of show and must win mentality has to change.
