Last year was a perfect storm for the Jags and they won 10 games. They had a division with Brissett, Savage and Mariota. They also had the luxury of playing Flacco, the Browns, and a bad Cincy team. They had no injuries on defense at all and the defense had 7 TDs. Including all that.... They had 10 wins.

Next season, the Colts and Texans will certainly be better. Luck and Watson are head and shoulders better than Blake. They will lose players on D because the contracts are insane and they won't be big spenders to upgrade the Oline, WRs or QB.

So unless you're banking on massive injuries to other teams, 10 wins seems like a massive reach at this point. But hey... Don't let logic get in your way.

I see a team that many thought would be 11 or 12 wins good lose 5 games by 6 or less while playing with a devastated offense. I don't think 9 or 10 wins is insane if the QB play is better and the expected roster moves (some combo of Church/Parnell/Dareus et al) happen. Heck, with today's move it might be that they bite the bullet and it's BB5 who is cut real soon.

And I'm a fan, logic has no place in my optimism.
