This right here.

We've certainly turned the corner as a franchise especially after being 1-15 a few years ago but given our talent and coaching - I feel like the moral victories are something that bad teams cling on to as hope for the future.

What Caldrac has said is definitely true and considering everything that our team is facing, yes we have done well overall. 

However, the upper echelon of teams in the NFL certainly beat teams they should beat and do so convincingly. And I guess we're still not quite "there" yet as our Jags have been unable to piece together a complete team win in all three phases of the game - without shooting ourselves in the foot here-and-there.

You say that, but, again. Take a look around this year. It's wide open. The 49ers should have beat the Bengals, Vikings and Browns. They didn't.

The Eagles should have beat the Jets, the Cowboys and played better against teams like the Bills. They didn't.

I think this is the new NFL man. People need to enjoy it. I am tired of the "Dynasty" [BLEEP] in sports. It's okay if Mahomes isn't the next Brady or Montana. It's okay if the Eagles are probably the most overrated NFC team we've seen in quite some time.

It's okay that the rest of the NFL is finally catching up across all 32 rosters and the playing field is being somewhat leveled. Outside of the Panthers and Patriots this year. Some of these "bottom" teams have been somewhat decent.

Now, as far as the brand goes? Maybe the NFL will cave in. They'll look at the officiating closely, look at changing some rules around, etc. But, I am genuinely happy as an overall fan of football this year in general.
