It sadly feels that way at times. I get it, it's been a brutal ride being a Jags fan and even when it suddenly looks like we might be good (2017) it quickly crumbles to dust (2018). Even when we were ahead 25pts, there were still people in the gameday thread worrying we will lose. 

My fear is that the flip side is people will suddenly have us as SB or bust and we aren't that team yet but we are a damn good team trending in the right direction with a great coaching staff. The good stuff this team does massively outweighs the negative.

I was excited when they hired Doug Pederson. Felt like that would be the right step in the right direction. Which it has been and should continue to be so. I felt like this team last year reminded me a little bit of the 1996 team when I was 8 years old. It was a fun run. 

I still expect this team to be in the play-off discussion for at least the next 3+ years. Superbowl is not quite on my radar yet, BUT, anything is possible. I think the AFC is wide open personally. The Chiefs look like they're starting to fall down a notch or two. The Bills are inconsistent. The Dolphins are inconsistent. 

We have the defense right now and it's getting creative with turnovers with really only one, good consistent pass rusher in Allen. This team could be on the verge of getting RED HOT at the RIGHT TIME here soon. Especially when they get past these next two games and get that much needed bye week.

Despite all of the pissing and moaning around here. I am excited to be a Jaguars fan again. We're not talking about having a top five, ten pick already in mid-October. It's awesome!
