Great post

I'm italian and l remember last year staying up to watch the TNF against the Titans. It was scheduled at 2.30 am here and we put on probably the worst performance of the season. Being up till 6.00 am to watch that and then having to go to work, in that moment I was really down and It was probably the first time in a lot of time that I thought "I'm not going to do this for this team again".
Then the offseason happened,, come draft day I stayed up with the same enthusiasm for the draft and after a worrying preseason the team gifted us with that Houston performance and I was so happy and the season went on a fantastic rollercoaster.

We have a young team and good pieces to build on, next year' schedule is tough but it'll make it even more fun, hopefully the team comes back hungry and improved and we'll have another shot at it again, hopefully for a rematch against the Patriots (not just the regular season one that's already scheduled).

Ah, this made me smile. I remember that T*tans game. I'm in the UK so it was on at 1.30am over here. I worked until 11pm, got home, watched us stink it up, had an hour's sleep and back to work. We were so poor that night, no one seemed to care, let alone we were playing them. 

I've sat through the endless 'rebuilding years, I got on the Gus Bus, and the 2016 season, I had so much optimism, so much faith and we went 3-13. I was numb until about March the next year from just what this team was actually trying to do and was doing to me.

I love this team so much, maybe too much at times, but this season has just been magical. I can't see it as a disappointment and if you had told me we would go to the AFC Championship game I would have asked for some of what you were having!

Love this team, love Jags fans, love Duval.
