Quote:According to the recent article posted on NFL.com, Peter King has the off season Jags rated at #30 in the NFL power rankings with the team finishing the season with a predicted 3-13 record. Only the raiders and tacks are rated lower. Interestingly, the bucs are at 29 yet are predicted to finish with a worse record (2-14). 

 

King goes on in a brief accompanying comment to say that our ranking is due to a lack of confidence (yet) in Bortles as being 'the guy' and due to an alarmingly bad stroke of luck with the Fowler injury. With that kind of 'ju-ju' going for the team, who can blame anyone for not having the utmost confidence in us having a decent season? This on top of what Vegas had earlier predicted to be a 5.5 win season, only to have that reduced to 1 win after the Fowler injury.

 

Nothing is going to change the NFL's perception of this team as a whole except winning. Not 'playing hard', not 'good sportsmanship', not 'positive self image'... winning, and winning alone is the only medicine that will cure what ails this franchise. Anything else is just... talk, the cheapest thing in the world.
