No I'm not. 
I'm placing many years of watching preseason football and being duped by it above freaking out right now.

Yeah man, all those preseasons where we use vanilla schemes and get our butts kicked.

Then magically the season starts and we gameplan and come out guns blazing.

Happens every year.

Exactly what I was thinking.  What are these guys watching.

It would be one thing if the Jags had a history of playing bad in the preseason and then come out guns blazing.  They usually suck from the start of the preseason til the end of the regular season. Where do they get this crazy implication that "it's only preseason" from?

Those cases are the exception more the rule.  I bet if you looked at past superbowl winners most had atleast a decent preseason.  I don't see teams in bad shape like the Jaguars magically get better starting week 1.  It does happen but very rare.  The Ravens have won something like 24 preseason games in the row.  Stats can be swung both ways but most of the time bad teams play poorly in the preseason.
