I'm like a lot of you guys in that I don't get as excited about the wins or as upset about the losses as I once did, but it's hard to say whether that's more a result of my age (31 now) or the fact that the team isn't good enough for the games to be that meaningful. If we make the playoffs this year, will I be just as into the playoff games as I ever was? Who knows, but I'm hoping to find out.
I've given up on rooting for specific results to bring about change because I know we could stink and management could still decide to sit tight, or we could be very good and management could decide to make major changes (yes, I'm still upset about Keenan being fired). We could have the worst record in the league and have the draft lottery screw us, or we could get the #1 pick and then get a guy who has injury problems and never makes an impact.
There are just too many variables to make it worth rooting for anything other than a win on any given night.
