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.

It's never SB or bust for me.  I realize that getting to the tournament is tough and the various factors that influence a single game and an entire season.  It takes a lot of skill and a lot of luck to make it to and win a Super Bowl.

That said, don't mistake the fact that we are Super Bowl contenders even this year.  I keep seeing people downplaying theirs and others expectations for this year.  We don't necessarily have All Pros everywhere, but we have great pieces in key areas and an apparently great locker room chemistry and leadership.  We're in the mix now and we'll be in the mix during the tournament as well.
