Being a fan of football for almost ten years, I have seen highs, lows, and everything in between for all the teams in the league. Every team has had their success throughout the years and trust me, nothing is better than seeing your team play playoff football at the start of the new year. By the same token, nothing is worse than seeing your team hobble through game after game of losing, only to see it end in December. No matter who your team is or how they are doing, these seven thoughts will be going through your head this season.

1. How could he miss that play?

I don't care if your team has a perfect record or has lost every single game, there is going to be some point during the season that is going to make you say "What the &#@$!". Bonehead plays are some of the most entertaining parts of football and you will always have at least one to look forward to.

2. Fantasy or Loyalty?

If you are playing fantasy football, you know all too well at some point there is going to be a player from another team that you want to score. The only problem is that player is playing against your favorite team. Fantasy team or favorite team? It's up to you.

3. Play of the Year! (But not really)

Because we have favorites and we are only human, we tend to have certain biases towards our favorite teams. This may lead us to do something unnecessary such as comparing a 2-yard run play to Odell Beckham Jr.'s one-handed grab. Keep it, realistic people.

4. Why am I putting myself through this?

They say anything can happen any given Sunday. By this logic, it's safe to assume that once in a while, there is going to be a dud of a game. Full of bad play calls, terrible throws, and butt fumbles, this game is going to make you wonder why you are even watching this week. Or, if you are the Jets, why you are watching at all.

5. Pass Interference? He wasn't touching him!

Bad referees are a part of any sport. Football is the only one where they are likely to get their head torn off for a bad call by fans and coaches alike. Remember, they are human too and will make mistakes, so try to have some sympathy before you throw that brick through your tv.

6. This is our year!

The beginning of football is such a magical time filled with hope and optimism for the future. New draft picks and free agents roaming the field along with a bad taste in your mouth leftover from last year lead you to feel more motivated than ever to win. Give it some time, that feeling will fade (I'm looking at you Browns' fans).

7. Oh, the joy.

More than anything, football brings people together. Its important not to forget this and to enjoy the season no matter the outcome. Your team may be awful, but being surrounded by those you care about can help ease up the pain a little bit and bring some humor back into those interceptions.

Football season marks the true start of Fall and brings happiness to millions of fans not just across the US, but around the world as well.
