Some of the old crew didn't make it to the new board.  I joined the old board in 2008, and signed off with it when it left.  When I came back a couple years ago, most of the regulars had made also made it back.  Gabe, Deacon, Erasergirl and Minorcan have stopped in for a second and left but I hadn't seen Bill, Shag, Dave PDP, or Jonesy.  Bjorn, IMT, Cowboy split before the new board.  I miss sideline TMD a bit, main board TMD not at all.  Can you imagine how many more dumb Baalke takes we would have had to sift through if he were still around?

Back on topic, the Jags are more than just one player away.  It's going to take a home run in free agency and 2 draft picks panning out with the rest of the starters at least standing pat to get to 10 wins next year.  I like what the team did with Engram.  The receiver corps seems set and I like our QB and special teams.  Every other corps - DB, LB, OL, DL, RBs - could be upgraded with a guy or 2. 

Winning the division is the immediate goal but the popular view is that this division sucks.  It's a luxury to think this way; that we need to be better than just the colts, tacks and texans.  Nice to be going into FA and the draft with a little less anxiety.
