My Theory On Why Ravens Fans Take Losing So Hard

[gametyme]

I take it personal when we lose. You would think i have somthing to do with the outcome. I think its a mental issue.

My theory as to why we take losing so hard can be summed up in one word:

[u][b]expectations.[/b][/u]


We all get so excited with the off-season acquisitions and we lift the guys up so high and say 'they'll do this and this and this and we're going all the way this season' and then, when something happens that doesn't fall in line with the expectations and the hype, some of us [size=2](note I didn't say all of us) [/size]fall apart and want to trade and fire almost everyone in sight.

Thats a problem then, because you always have to keep your expectations in check

We aren't used to losing....thats why we have expectations in the first place so when we do lose...it feels like the world is ending
