You have heard of the 5 stages of grief when faced with loss or bad news (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance).
It’s a little different for fans as their football team’s season begins to go South:
Stage 1: Moping over a loss due to a bad call or missed opportunity. This is very similar to denial and I know few if any fans who don’t do this after most close losses. It’s healthy, but you want to minimize the time doing it each week.
Stage 2: Complaining generally about scheme and the lack of creativity from coordinators.
