Some of the old crew didn't make it to the new board.  I joined the old board in 2008, and signed off with it when it left.  When I came back a couple years ago, most of the regulars had made also made it back.  Gabe, Deacon, Erasergirl and Minorcan have stopped in for a second and left but I hadn't seen Bill, Shag, Dave PDP, or Jonesy.  Bjorn, IMT, Cowboy split before the new board.  I miss sideline TMD a bit, main board TMD not at all.  Can you imagine how many more dumb Baalke takes we would have had to sift through if he were still around?

Back on topic, the Jags are more than just one player away.  It's going to take a home run in free agency and 2 draft picks panning out with the rest of the starters at least standing pat to get to 10 wins next year.  I like what the team did with Engram.  The receiver corps seems set and I like our QB and special teams.  Every other corps - DB, LB, OL, DL, RBs - could be upgraded with a guy or 2. 

Winning the division is the immediate goal but the popular view is that this division sucks.  It's a luxury to think this way; that we need to be better than just the colts, tacks and texans.  Nice to be going into FA and the draft with a little less anxiety.

I knew it. Thanks for clarifying with Dakota / Utopia. 

I forgot about Minorcan! I remember asking if they were actually "Minorcan" or "Menorcan". Since I have family ties in St. Augustine here in Florida I have old Menorcan/Minorcan heritage. That stood out to me on here for awhile. 

Where is DragonFury (DF) at? Is he still lingering around here? Our good friend from the red light district I believe. I agree with you as well. We're not a player or two away yet. This is the time to keep building around Lawrence and shoring up the back half of the roster to remain competitive in the next two, three years when some of these contracts are expiring from 2022. 

We do appear to have the best QB, best TE, best WR group and coaching group at the moment in this division though. And as long as we can win this division we should be able to consistently hit that 4th seed at the minimum and maybe luck out in the post season. 

Still believe in starting with the trenches. Get your lineman up to par at protecting our QB and attacking our opponent's QB and we're going to be golden I feel like at least 7 or 8 times out of 10.
