Quote:I was making the point that by listening to the media covering the Jags, as well as Gus and Dave - it almost appears that they're on a 5 year rebuild.

 

By year 3, we need to be in the playoffs.

 

By year 2 (this year) we need significant improvement over year 1 which was an embarrassment even for low Jaguars standards.  To me, that is at least 6 wins.  

 

Year 2 is under way, and we blew a 17 point lead and allowed 34 unanswered points.

 

Instead of more criticism, all we've heard is how "we're still far away from being able to hang with the best teams" etc etc.  When exactly will we hang with them?  When is winning going to be expected? 

 

The way it's going, and the way they're talking, this year won't be it.  I can just picture next year starting and suddenly we're "competing for 2nd in our division"....

 

Even with the disappointing result from yesterday, 6 wins is certainly attainable for this team.

 

Even with the blown 17 point lead and 34 unanswered points, the team had the lead for 3 quarters, and wasn't too far away from winning the game.

 

Last year, we weren't even close to being competitive to any playoff caliber team.  This year, we had the Eagles on the ropes for a half and led for three quarters.
