Quote:Firing Gus would be bad, 

 

It's easy to look at records and say things are bad - I'd say the Jags where a much better team in 2014 than 2013 despite having a worse record. If we finish 1-15 in 2015 but lose every game by 3 points or less would that be a terrible season?

 

No, it won't be a terrible season.  It would be a despicable, laughable, particularly scathing one.  It's not a beauty contest but about wins and losses.  They don't give points for how well you lost, or how close you came.  It's the NFL mate.

 

I get the point.  We made strides last year despite a worse record.  Strides time are over.  If you don't tell yourself that, you wallow in nonentity.  When you don't expect Ws, you resort to losing mantras like we are making strides, we are competing.

 

5-11, 9-7, 12-4....that was Jack Del Rio's first 3 seasons with the club, after an overhaul from the TC era, with a roster that overachieved way beyond its talent level.  That factored heavily in to why he 'won' the Oakland job, I'm sure.

 

4-12, 3-13, 1-15, for Gus but don't fire him because they are a 'better' team due to better losses.  I strongly disagree.  It's a not for long, results league.
