No my point was that a loss would probably change the narrative that this team is legit unless it was a close hard fought game with a last second score by the Rams.  A loss would continue the trend of win one, lose one and it would be yet another home loss. That doesn't sound very legit to me.  

I don't think the Rams being considered a good team really matters. They're flying across the country and Jags fans are expecting the Jags to come out strong at home and win it.  What if they don't though? Will confidence remain high that this team is legit if that's the case? That's why I think this game will reveal a lot about this team.

Alternating wins and losses is a schedule fluke. If we played against the Texans, Ravens, and Steelers, then the Titans and Jets, we would have winning and losing streaks.

What really matters in terms of being legit is being able to play two good games in a row, not just winning them. If we win despite making more mistakes by the Rams, people aren't as likely to take us seriously as if we do most things right and lose on one play. That is what I would want to see if I was just watching games with no team preference.
