GMScud-
I was trying to say superstitions. It was late and had a hard time spelling it.
The point I was trying to make was, while some of us think that we can affect a game by things we say, wear, or do on a Sunday before a game. It actually has no bearing at all on the football game. We as fans have no effect ( as much as we would like to think we do at times ) on how our beloved team plays and the out come of a game. I used to think this was the case, and to be honest it is a sympton of being a fan/fanatic. We can write say, do, and wear what ever we like and it will have no effect on how our team performs.
Back in the 80s and early 90s I was a young lad. I just enjoyed watching, talking, and smack talking any teams fans who we played. Most of the time we won, won big, and won championships.
Some time in the early 2000s when we sucked I started to keep my thoughts to myself, think that I had a lucky jersey because we actually won the day I wore and lost the days I didn't. BUT I was somewhat of a fool. What I did had no bearing on how bad the Redskins were run, coached, and how the players on the team couldn't play as a unit. It was just a sympton of being a bad franchise. Most of the time bad franchises lose.
Now we have this thread here and I wanted to kind of clear the air on my own fandom and was reading some comments about how this thread is bad jujuj and bad karma. Well it has no bearing on it all.
We could have a rash of injuries this week, next week, or at any point in the season, and it will not be because of a thread on our message board. We are fans we love the team and we want to win. Go ahead and say, do , and wear whatever you like. we arent going to effect the team.
The only effect we can have on the team is to cheer and play the 12th man role as best we can at home games.
