Resist the RQ

I'll put my hand up, I have done my share of rage quitting (RQ) throughout all my gaming. Online shooters, sports games, casual games of cricket in the park - I really don't enjoy losing. In my first slice of time with FML earlier last year, I was pretty bad. I didn't enjoy watching my team getting trounced, so I let them get on with it themselves whilst I did something less stressful, like defusing nuclear weapons.
This time around, I purposefully set myself the aim of developing my side using academies and young free agents. This gave me a long term goal and an excuse for losing the majority of my games at the start. Give it 7 or 8 seasons, then I should start competing.
However, my team have far and away outperformed my initial expectations. Obviously I'm not moaning about my early success, but this has let to me expecting more from my teams than I initially wanted to. And so the possibility of the dreaded RQ creeps in again.
I am writing this in the aftermath of RQ2, in the hope that it might prove cathartic; that the stress will flow from my fingers onto the keyboard. The reason for the quit is trivial really, some awful performances against some pretty poor teams. It's something I have seen quite a few people comment on, either in the chat rooms in-game or on the SI Forums - why do teams suddenly lose form and go on a poor run of results? It's not something I really want to ponder, provided my boys pick their form back up soon. The teams below me in my league are clawing points back, and I could do with a win or two to keep the cushion and the pressure on. I really don't want it coming down to the last game. In my first season last January, all I needed was a draw in my final game to secure the league. In the 94th minute (I'm sure only a couple were added on per the fourth official) I conceded, comdemning me to the runner-up spot. Again, I know I must sound like I'm whingeing over a decent league position, but I was pretty peeved. Another dose of last-game heartache would be a pain, for sure
