Make that 2 of us.  Every year this happens, who drinks the largest glass of kool-aid seems to rotate among us with no describable pattern...LOL  Well with some exceptions of course.....

The issue for me is that last year was actually a good year until the injuries, which is how the NFL works, but so many are acting like we are terrible again like we were when Bobblehead was coach. Good teams lose seasons to injury, just ask the jests how their year went after that Achilles injury to Rodgers. For the Jags, last year's start shows that they aren't far off, they looked poised to take that jump to the top of the AFC, and the biggest issue (bulk in the middle) got addressed this offseason. I have every reason to believe that this team will look like the contenders they are once the games start. We are entering a Golden Age here, with our coach and QB locked up and locked in, and it's about damned time.
