Even if they hadn't won the division, even if they hadn't made the playoffs, going from the last few years to, say, 9-7 would have been a huge improvement. Every extra win at this point just makes it more incredible. When Bortles announces that he's off to Disneyland it will be still sweeter.

Agree completely. We should be celebrating the success this team has had this season, but there are always going to be naysayers, even from our fans. Those of us who’ve stuck it out through the tough times are happy with the current trajectory, especially since we are one of eight teams still playing.

I don't disagree with what you're saying but expectations can change during the course of a season.

It would have put a very sour note on the season had the Jags lost this past Sunday to the Bills. It appears they are playing with house money now when they play the Steelers but last weekend was different.

Once the season is over (whenever that may be) most people will look back at this season as a huge success and one we can hopefully build on.
