I'm Done Watching The Skins This Year

[scowan]

I am with the rest of you not watching anymore games. It is ruining my Sunday afternoons and I am in a bad mood the rest of the night. I will find out Sunday around 7 or 8 pm if we won by checking the internet and use my Sundays more wisely. It is the Christmas season and I am sure there are more worthwhile things I could be doing with my family rather than suffer through another 3 hours this coming weekend. If we win, I will be happy and if we lose, I will not have wasted my time or emotions on this team anymore! It is more fun to watch Indy anyway and they will win the Superbowl this year......everyone else is playing for 2nd place.

I'm not ready to give up watching them this year, but I must admit that reality is beginning to dampen my enthusiasm. It may take one more loss before I throw in the towel, but I'm not there yet.

I keep waiting for this team to demonstrate the same belief in their own abilities that we seem to have on this forum. At one point early in the season, I think they were starting to really believe in themselves. Now, I see little evidence of that. When players no longer believe they can win, they won't win. Perception becomes reality and they stop putting out that little bit of extra effort that can make the difference between winning and losing.

God knows, the hometown crowd has done all it could to support them, but what they're lacking now they have to find from within. I just don't know if they will. There are certain players that have it (LaVar comes to mind), but many of the others I'm not sure about.
