Quote:lol have you seen how bad our division is? We were legit contenders for the playoffs last year... One made FG in Indy and a decent snap in Tennessee and we probably make it in.

Sir, I'm not referring to just 'getting into the playoff's when I talk about being 'legit'. Houston made it into the playoffs but were they legit? Hardly. And we were even less so. So what I mean by 'legit' is this; that we are a team who, by virtue of excellent talent and coaching, not only 'show up' at the playoff's, but actually have a realistic chance to run the table.

 

I do not envy Houston because they went to the playoffs this past season. It became abundantly evident that they really had no business being there apart from the fact that they proved that they were the least sucky team in the AFC south. And that ain't much of a compliment. And we, the Jaguars, were clearly even worse than they. We were playoff contenders last season? LoL!!! We were by no means legit contenders for the playoffs last year. We failed to have a winning season even with a comparatively soft schedule and with a lions share of lucky breaks (provided by means of many of our opponents misfortune). We even failed to reach the miserable goal of a 6-10 season, which many thought was a pathetic but realistic goal for this team.

 

But that's okay; think what you will and cheer the team on. I will too, but I'll do it with somewhat more tempered expectations.
