How High Has the Bar Been Raised?

From 1996-1999, the Jaguars made the playoffs, including two conference championship games. Injuries and the salary cap kicked in and the Jaguars fell from the lofty standards set above to mediocre and losing football. While disappointing and distasteful, there was still some respectability around the team. JDR took over and led the team to four straight .500 or better seasons, including two playoff appearances, the last being in 2007. But in the years that have passed since, the fall from contention was far more precipitous and much longer in duration than any time in Jaguars history. Mere respectability became an antiquated notion. The losing became so pervasive and prolific, fans went from anger to numbness, as playoff hopes were gone by October. First of all EXCELLENT TOPIC! Prior to the season I was thinking that .500 would be improvement and I would have been "satisfied" though not very happy about it. I figured that was a realistic goal. At this point in the season after the games that have been played and how they've been played, I have to agree with you regarding 10-6. I would love to see the team win out, but realistically I don't think it will happen. My minimum at this point would be a winning season and a playoff appearance. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
