Both runs ended with losses to the Pats in Foxboro.  And 2017 probably should have been a win, Myles Jack wasn't down.
In both cases, the Jags had only a few injuries, and the board assumed we were one or two pieces away from reaching the super bowl.
In the 2008 off-season, management agreed, and brought those exact pieces in.  Personally I thought Derrick Harvey and Jerry Porter would be lifting the Lombardi after the 2008 season. Wow.
In 2018, management behaved as if the Jags already had all the pieces they needed, and did nothing to replace Poz and Allen Robinson. But we were cautiously optimistic.
Instead, in both cases, we got major regression in QB play along with more injuries than before.
When you compare the three seasons game by game, the only reason to be more optimistic this off-season compared to the other two is Lawrence.  Everything else is a wash.
