Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Read this last night and it pretty much sums up my thoughts on the team this year. This NFL.com article is a fair assessment of last year and makes many good points for this year.

I hope they level the tacks this year.

I see no reason outside of injury why we should not be in the playoffs.   Love your sig by the way.  I forgotten I said that but it is 100% true.

What? I see plenty of reasons they could miss out of the playoffs even if they stay healthy.

The way I look it, the Jaguars are a longshot to win the division, and I envision the loser between the Chiefs and Chargers taking the division. I feel the Jaguars have a shot at that final WC spot, but they're likely up against the Steelers and the rest of the AFC South for that spot, and that's presuming the Ravens, Raiders, Jets and Bills fail to contend. I'm presuming here the Broncos, Bengals and Dolphins are gutter dwellers. The point is, the Jaguars probably make the Playoffs by the skin of their teeth. What I'm hopeful for is that should they snag that last spot, they have a team that can go the distance.

Thats your opinion and I have mine.   This will no doubt be one of the best defense's in the league and that alone is enough if the offense can just generate points and first downs.  Foles no doubt is a huge upgrade at QB that will also help the defense by generating points first downs let alone points.   The titans, colts, or texans aren't powerhouses and have weaknesses on their own.   The schedule is tough this year but that's based on last year.  Teams rise and fall.

I do. It's going to be a tough road to haul to get there, but they should be nice and battle-hardened when they do. Foles gives me all the confidence in the world with his poise, accuracy, quick release, clutchness and experience at the highest level. 

So nice to be winning the off-season again.

When was the last time it was because of their opinion about our quarterback?

If everything goes how some on this MB want, i'm all for it. Playoffs then SB. I'm content with just the playoffs but if the lights switch on and we start hitting on all facets of the game then we can make a run. Wait and see mode still activated currently on my end.

I'm not content at all with merely making the Playoffs. You see teams like the Texans that are adept at making the Playoffs but it does them no good as they can't win in the post-season. Frankly, I'd be just as content winning the playoffs as I would just being a contender down the stretch and finishing 7-9. To be "content," I at least have to a playoff win, but I just feel if they get to that point they'd have a realistic shot at more wins possibly taking home a Lombardi.

I understand where you're coming from.  I have a good friend who loves the chiefs, and see the pain of being a playoff regular, only to keep losing.  I want us to win at least one, and try for a run; but i look at the goal differently.  I feel if we can make the playoffs, then we should be good.  It all depends on how we make the playoffs though.  If we can compete and look like a contender in the AFC, then i'm more than willing to bet we'd make a run.  If we look sluggish for the most part and just sneak in, I don't think anyone will be pleased to just make it and then lose.  I want to see us competing and ready for a run come January.

JAGS ARE OFFSEASON CHAMPS YET AGAIN

To this I Concur. We have an #WindowofOpportunity that is limited w/respect to our existing roster, our existing salary cap not to mention the front office and coaching staff. We cannot afford to simply get into the playoffs and be "One and Done". If we don't seriously compete for the AFC South Championship, we have no choice but to consider 2019 an bust year.

I dislike the limited window narrative. 
Such windows can be widened/expanded by simply drafting well to replace the overpriced players on a team's roster.
Easier said than done, granted, but far from impossible. 

Harrison and Bryan's performance in 2019 will go a long way to showing if this front office is capable of extending this window that so many fans think is very finite.

Limited window is how we traded away nearly an entire draft and ended up with Derrick harvey and Quentin Groves.

I too dislike the window of opportunity scenario but it exists w/most teams. 

The Saints and Rams geared up last year for that push because of said windows. Teams like the CHEATERS, Steelers and Packers do an good job of releasing players w/high cap #s but they don't make splashes in the playoff drive to the SB. Except for the CHEATERS. 

We the Jaguars has an window of opportunity before the front office will have to jettison players like Myles Jack, Bouye and Campbell just to name a few. At this point, in my opinion, we do not have their replacements on the roster via the NFL draft. We did an good job of drafting Bryan early but we need to do Much Better in this category of drafting for the future instead of the present. Success does cure this BUT.

You could also say it's how you give Foles $50 mil instead of drafting Haskins. 

I realize front offices make decisions based on a perceived window, but I dislike the approach the vast majority of the time. 
Hopefully the 2018, 2019 and yet to occur 2020 drafts will garner enough talent to allow the Jags to trim salary cap fat  --  keeping the Jags in the conversation of elite defenses moving beyond this window folks are so concerned about.
