Here's the thing. This is the first time I've logged into the forums since the BYE week last year. Did I expect us to make the playoffs this year? Nope. Did I expect us to even have a winning record? Nope. But I did however expect them to be better than last year and that is debatable. Its all about progress and realistically, were in the SAME spot we were in last year. I sat in LP Field yesterday and after the first drive, was seriously about to fall asleep because it was so boring. After CS3, fumbled, I left. Only to realize while walking to my car that we magically scored and got an onside. Yeah I missed the final moments of the game, but did it really matter? They failed to do anything for almost 3 whole quarters. I love the Jags, but this whole decade of rebuilding is getting out of hand. You're(the general you) asking a lot of your fanbase to continue to stick it out until the process is over. How long do we have to wait? I put so much into this franchise and  often times feel like I'm getting nothing in return. I think Blake is the answer, but he is one guy, the rest of the majority is already supposed to be in place. Yes, we are young and gaining experience and everything blah blah. I get that.

 

The problem is, watching this team go further and further downhill for the last 5-10 years, has begun to wear me down to the point that I do not enjoy Football anymore. They have sucked the joy out of it. I've done nothing but defend this team during the rebuilding process, I've stuck with this team since 94. I'm not expecting SB contention every year, heck I'd be happy with a playoff appearance consistently. When do the fans start to get rewarded for everything we've done?

 

After that game, on my long drive home, in the pouring monsoon, I realized that 0-16 is not only possible, but probable. We have potentially 3-4 games that are even remotely winnable(on paper). 

 

I've seen the answer at QB. He IS THE guy. Problem is, nothing else is.

 

Winning solves everything.
