Nice!

My optimism is through the [BLEEP] roof man. I can't help it. I genuinely believe in this team. I feel like I am eight years old all over again in 1996. Even around this same time of year I can still remember my Mom and Dad getting excited. My grandfather coming over to our three bedroom apartment at the time and crammed in the living room around the Christmas tree. Watching that team get lucky and hot, mostly lucky, LOL.

It's just exciting for me. I really hope this is the beginning of a nice, long stretch of winning football and hope in general in this city. My son will be 3 years old in April next year. Would just be [BLEEP] amazing to be able to take him to a home play off game in a few years from now. It's long overdue. Jacksonville has the best damn fanbase in this business. [BLEEP] what you heard! Listen!

This is the most anticipation I have seen/experienced towards a Jaguars game since the Patriots revenge game in 2018.

While it's unfortunate we haven't had a team good enough to create this level of pre game excitement, it makes it a little more special when we do get a game of this importance.

But here's the thing. 

From a certain perse[ctive, this is or shouldn't be an important game.

If this team is built properly and develops accordingly, there will be far more important games-in terms of number and scope/magnitude.  Nevertheless, in terms of seeing this team develop before our eyes, this game is quite important.  If we win this game, there will be quite a bump in exposure for us.  I think the team will be far more confident, and the fans will be more confident in the team.

To quote the Kitty Kaelen song from the end of Avengers Endgame, "It's been a long long time."
