I have had several days to reflect upon my last post on the loss at the Lions game and I have come to the conclusion I was wrong. The fault was not with "bad Jay" or with the team, the fault was ours - the fans. We gave up hope. We lost faith. We didn't believe hard enough. We stopped singing after every score because we were embarrassed and worried they might lose and we would look silly. We didn't shout even louder as the game went on and the Detroit fans left to give our team heart and to let them know we were still there. We didn't believe in the miracle of a last second score hard enough. We let them down. As I sit here getting ready to go support the team in the contest against the Saint's I am reminded that we must believe in Monsters. We must believe to the end. We must know in our hearts that they will find a way to win. Good teams always do. And great fans must support them to do it. We failed in Detroit. We didn't clap hard enough and we let Tinkerbell die. We need to Believe, and we need to ensure that our faith is strong and our voices stronger, and we need to clap no matter how sore our hands are getting, and we need to shout no matter how hoarse our voices are getting, and we need to believe.
Believe in Monsters - the Chicago Bears are coming and we are going to cheer and they are going to WIN.
