Understand that I'm not saying you are jumping off and on a bandwagon, I'm just saying it can give that impression

For the record. I am NOT anything close to a bandwagon fan. I was positive they could beat the Seahawks last year in the playoffs, and I was crushed when they lost. Just like I was sure they were going to beat the Vikings in the opener, and I was just as crushed when they lost that game. I'm loyal to the point that it confuses me when other fans are like "the NFC East is back!!!". Why would any Redskins fan be happy about that? I hate the rest of the NFC East, and I wish they all played like the Texans.
Anyway, It's not at all that I'm scared to pick Washington, for fear of being heartbroken. I just try to look at the game realistically, and realistically, they're overmatched. It'll take near perfect execution and a good amount of luck for Washington to beat Jacksonville. I don't think having that frame of mind makes me a bandwagoner.
