One of the best parts about being a fan is getting to make bold predictions and outrageous claims, then basking in the glory once things play out perfectly. In fact, some people are already cashing in their checks after Week 1 and taking an early victory lap around the internet.
However, there is something noble about being able to admit one’s defeat. While just one game is not enough time to throw in the towel already, sometimes the signs become clear enough to recognize that there is a big fat L coming in the future. In these cases it seems best to just bite the bullet early.
